agaugust: Same time the story came out with the false claim. The SANDF denial was posted more than 20 times here. Don't drag us backwards.
I am tired of repeating old weblinks of one year ago . Denied for operational security. The story was confirmed by the head of the SANDF Soldiers Union - Pikkie Greef. |

agaugust: SANDF Brigadier General denied the Congo long range sniper kill, so it's a dead argument, SANDF set NO record .
Military sports competition is just shooting sport against a stationary frozen target. Also, it's NOT a war zone.
South African army CANNOT shoot straight in real war zone, your men become jittery with fear and miss target.
Also, SANDF just CANNOT shoot and hït a moving target, Mr. Day is eating supper this night to prove that . Denied for operational security You moved the goal posts Mr Day has the German Navy to thank for that |

lezz: Who ever said the SAN accused the German navy?
If it were the German navy, the south African press would have cleared the air. It is still accepted in south Africa that it was the SAN. Germans confirmed it was them. Media is a buisness - no one prints stories that people dont care about. People care about the SANDF, people dont care about the German navy - and they certainly dont care that the Germany navy scared a fisherman. Germans confirm - argument over |

agaugust: I was saying that your own source demölished your argument completely!
Read, I quote your above source. :
"a theoretical ability to regain its former status as a nuclear-weapons state. "
It clearly says South Africa has THEORETICAL ability to make nuclear weapons....theory NOT practical !
Theory is written on paper, makes you a mere PAPER TIGER that can only make nuclear weapons on paper ;P;P;P . We have theoretical ability You have no ability Whom is better? |

lezz: German source is a nonsense crappy crap. I thought someone has already picked holes in that. But here's what: Anthony Day was fired upon by a naval warship. He tried to radio the warship but no luck. So he got the radio of the coast guard or something who then radioed the commander of the warship. The commander admitted the error and said it was done in error
Now question is which naval commander did the radio folks communicated with?
All possibilities point to the SAN because they would be the first choice of contact naturally.
Secondly given how south Africa love Hollywood-ing their SANDF, they would have rushed and print the news of how the German navy goofed and how they themselves are expert.
That's why your own very forums in South Africa are never in doubt who the incompetent navy is.
But a nigerian-conscious e-sandf like you folks will always bring in controversies. Stop arguing Germans have admitted it was them |

Henry120: Your MRS is a VBSS team, no different. Even Somalia has these.
Your inefficient defence ministry only issues as single Cammo type to your HIV ridden troops.
Proper militaries across the world have different types of Cammo for different terrains. The Americans, brits, Nigerians, indians, turks, pakistanis.
Nigeria operates the multi-terrain cammo, Woodland Desert.
Your SF only have a primary green cammo. YOu can keep saying it But the simple undeniable fact is that the UK, US, France, Canada and others all now use a single multi-use camouflage |

You don't know what war is....SANDF has not used tanks in war for over 20 years, you need Nigeria to school you big time ! . Nigeria has never used tanks in tank v tank combat These woman can manage to wear their overalls and not get heat stroke Why cant your men? Are they inferior to South African women?

Next time, watch your careless tongue before you critisize Nigerian army, we have won our own war in grand style ! . You lost 15 000 and 1,6 million displaced Your useless army cannot stop genocide in your own back yard |

agaugust: Pakistan has defense cash in pocket far bigger than South Africa, yet they use about 200 units of same Grifo-7 radar on air force jets.
Brazil , Czech, Italy all use same Grifo-7 radar as Nigerian F-7 jets. All these 3 countries have bigger defense budgets than South Africa.
The poverty we see here is only in South Africa that cannot afford to issue gloves and knee pads to just 3,000 soldiers   . Used on: - F-5E/F - Mirage III - L-159 - F-7 (Chinese-built MiG-21bis) Wow - so impressive |

If Boko Haram war lasted more years, Nigeria too had launched a new standard uniform that combines desert and savanna green... . So now you are agreeing with us? That one multi-use cammo is better than 7 specific use cammo's? LOL |

agaugust: To disarm you of capability of making dirty bombs that just spread radioactive materials like a chemical weapon.
Southie arsenal of nuclear bombs is dead.
You even have NO nuclear compatible aircraft to deliver it in war !
Gripen is NOT nuclear capable. RSA is NOT a nuclear power today, you just have harmful radioactive materials half decayed  . Enough nuclear explosive to fuel half a dozen bombs, each powerful enough to obliterate central Washington or most of Lower Manhattan, is locked in a former silver vault at a nuclear research center near the South African capital.
Technicians extracted the highly enriched uranium from the apartheid regime’s nuclear weapons in 1990, then melted the fuel down and cast it into ingots. Over the years, some of the cache has been used to make medical isotopes, but roughly 485 pounds remains, and South Africa is keeping a tight grip on it.
That gives this country — which has insisted that the United States and other world powers destroy their nuclear arsenals — a theoretical ability to regain its former status as a nuclear-weapons state. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/us-unease-about-nuclear-weapons-fuel-takes-aim-at-a-south-african-vault/2015/03/13/b17389f6-2bc1-4515-962d-03c655d0e62d_story.htmlYou were saying? |

Henry120: That's a 2015 photo. Prove it. Those men are wearing a cammo the US military got rid of around 2005. So, either they are SF/SOF (which usually means they wear whatever they want) or its been taken around the time of the Gulf War Invasion or Pre-Surge Occupation. The M249 Para leads me to suspect SF |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 11:29am On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: 1 AKM/AK-47/AK-74/AKMS with 5 rounds each. And enough, enough, enough rounds of Ammo in the truck/APC. What you gunna do when your truck is blown up? Or you get pinned down? Or you have to go where your truck cannot? Or if you have to dismount in a rush and counter-attack - how will you conduct a sustained fire fight? Gunna give up your cover to run back to the truck for more mags? What if a man gets hit? You gunna say "hold on igbo, im just gunna run back to the truck and dig around for the med kit, try not to bleed to death in the meantime"? |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 11:27am On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: They are not all SF forces, and they do not have a single camo like the inefficient SANDF. Every SF/SOF conducts land and sea trainings. Everyone of those listed SF/S0F teams, it is nothing unheard of. I didn't mention the british SBS, I only mentioned SAS.
No, all "SANDF" forces are issued a single camo. Your S.F wear green.
Your MRS is simply a boarding team, even small nations like togo , Seychelles and mauritius all have boarding teams.
Nothing fantastic about them. So what excatly is your argument now? I cant keep up with your dislocated ramblings |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 11:26am On Apr 09, 2015 |
Henry120: MARSOC is primarily an SOF force.
Your MRS is a boarding team, nothing spectacular. Even Gambia has a boarding team. MRS performs bording operations, Riverine Operations and beach-head operations in support of SF They arent just a simple boarding team. |
