Choke on your popcorn dude cheesycheesycheesy

I am sipping my palm wine here with double straws, no shaking!

You know, I told you Southies last year that it is IMPOSSIBLE for Russia to sell satellite to SANDF without SIPRI recording and reporting it, you all said no, it's a secret sale, secret satellite, spy satellite, nobody must know it, Russia will keep it secret because Jacob Zuma has bewitched Vladimir Putin to obey commands from South Africa cheesycheesycheesy

Now it's on SIPRI publication exposed to the whole world, so am I right or wrong?

Your satellite is a mere surveillance satellite NOT a spy satellite, you cannot afford a Western origin equipment nowadays, so you can continue to insult Nigeria's Russian/Chinese.Pakistani made equipment....South Africa has been forced by cash problems to join out club, welcome !

Your Southie mofos have said many times on this forum that all Russian export equipment are inferior to the original Russian owned versions, thus @Patches said Nigeria got inferior monkey model T-72 tanks and latest model sMi-35M Hind E, Mi-171 Terminator combat helicopters.

So South Africa too has now got an inferior monkey model satellite, yes or no? Answer me now cheesycheesycheesy

Okay, you say Nigeria has two earth observation satellites, yes but under the command and control of 100 Nigerian military officers who use them, PLUS 3RD NEW SATELLITE we just got last year, Nigeria too has a SURVEILLANCE SATELLITE WITH RADAR FOR CLOUD PENETRATION AND NIGHT VISION under the command and control of Nigerian air force and navy.

You South Africans will come to Nigeria soon and learn how satellites are used, we have superiority of experience over you as usual....plus that fact that 1 satellite alone cannot cover the whole earth in quick time, you need 3 satellites to do that global coverage and Nigeria has 3, South Afrikandodo has ONLY 1....when you need help, Zuma will telephone Abuja and beg us, Nigeria is the oracle eye of Africa, you still need to consult us cheesycheesycheesy

•• Confidently sipping Naija palm wine with double straws ••

1. Kondor-E is a surveillance satellite. What they do is spy. It was purchased as the West will not sell high end recon platforms to non-NATO nations or unaligned nations like us.

2. We cant afford western equipment anymore? Ok, here goes:
- Only western companies are bidding on tenders for porject Biro
- Starstreak is Western
- CRAM upgrades by a Western Company
- Milan 2 is from the West
- Deal for Badger production is from a Western company
- Thales is a major SANDF supplies and a Western company

3. Export models of any-state owned platform is allways inferior.

4. There is a difference between high end Eastern Block equipment and cheap left over trash from the Cold War. We have bought the lattest in Russian tech, you are buying scraps from a war that never happened.

5. No, you have 2 observation sattelights and 1 communications sattelight. Your satellite is for environmental and electoral monitering. It does not have any form of radar. Not a single one of your satelights are military grade.

You see, unlike you clowns we purchase quality over quantity. While you are watching grainy pictures of bush fires we are watching in HD as Boko destroyers your country.

Again, its no contest. You must be drunk to suggest otherwise

It's all fake until you prove that SAN has real missiles in ALL those 32 silos. How many Umkhonto missiles did your navy buy? Mokopa missile is still zero purchase. Umkhonto range is still 15 km maximum.

You foolish Southies keep saying anything inside DENEL tssting laboratory belongs to SANDF without paying one penny for it, is that how defense industry is run in a modern world of capitalist economies? Fools, no wonder DENEL collapsed a few years ago and went totally broke because some Soweto fools now run the place like a charity free gift shop....ANC nation of fools, no wonder Dangote scooped one billion Rands out of your pockets and your top level business executives did not know until after their bank accounts had been brutally Ràped cheesycheesycheesy

Listen here you fvcking baboon.

We dont have to prove anything, SAN expanding VLS tubes to the full complement means that either they have fulled them with missiles or they will be fulled with missiles.

DENEL belongs to the state - just like the SANDF belongs to the state. Thats how an effective state military industrial complex runs. During the war in Angola DENEL sent its G6 prototypes along with crews Denel was using to train them to fight in the battle of Quito.

Thats why we are in no rush to buy the Makopa, its intergrated and industrialized, if a situation comes up that we need to equipe the Rooivalks with anti-tank capabilities its simply a matter of sending an e-mail to Denel and they will be delivered

How?

Nigeria has 3 satellites including a cloud penetrating radar satellite. We have used satellites for several years in combat.

South Africa just got ONLY ONE satellite and it's an inferior monkey model from Russia, you could not afford the cost of NATO European made satellite. Your next major weapons purchase will likely be made in China. European equipment costs have started tearing your lean pockets.

Anyway, we welcome your Russian made monkey model lonely all alone satellite. Nigeria has 3, SA has only 1. We have advantage over you

No:

- you have 2 observation satelights, NigeriaSat-1 died in 2012
- your other 2 satellites are for environmental observation and disaster reflief with low resolution.
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24025-how-nigeria-has-been-using-its-satellites.html#.VQtnmI6UeSo

By contrast, our satellite is a dedicated spy sattelight, with synthetic aperture radar that has a resolution of 2-3 meters and with its unique dish set-up it has a field of veiw of 500km on either side of it - meaning it does not have to be constantly re-positioned.

You think human being are forever young? Who can live for ever and not die?

Those old SADF men are now aged about 60 years, even their best man Col. Eben is about 65 years old.

Is that the age of running around inside hot desert or think forest fighting war?

Most of the SADF elites are dead or too weak to run today.

Then PMC is NOT = South African national army.

PMCs recruit people from all over the world, so don't fool yourself thinking South Afri8can PMC has only ex-South African soldiers.

I am recruited into a PMC in America, but I am a Nigerian, so I can tell you that we have Mexicans and Colombian ex-troops insie American PMCs, Latino nation troops who have fought COIN combats in Mexcio and Colombia.

A lot of the SADF elite troops in Angolan war were Angolan citizens NOT South Africans, it also included other African fighters like Namibians and Mozambiqueans, etc. You are very wrong to think South African citizens make up the large numbers of SADF elite troops, NO ! Most of them were blacks from other countries especially Angola.

Your dead or retired old men on wheelchair are not fighting any mercenary combat in Nigeria, we are fighting our war with young blood !

1. You are not a PMC
2. Media has confirmed South Africans are fighting in the front lines
3. Not all South African PMC's are from the border war - some leave the SANDF and SAPS for it.
4. A young man who was 17 or 18 in 1989 is how old now?
5. 32 Battalion (800 men) was the only unit that extensively used foreigners for the duration of the war. The rest of the SADF was 100% South African, Namibians served in the SWATF (a completely different army)

Not where pampered soldiers play-fight from 8am to noon, break for siesta, resume by 2pm and close for the day by 5pm, constantly supported by all the drones and fighter jets money can buy.

You and i know the US army has not been actually tested in combat since vietnam, and the Russian Army has not been tested since Afganistan!!! Anything else you show me does not address the point. If the US squares off against even China, they will forget all those bells and whistles!!!

All those computer games in Iraq, and Afganistan by the US are just that --- Computer games!!!

lemme get this straight.. when you say light maintenance, i hope it's about just changing oil and adding fuel.

because the picture of the cuban mechanic i see working on your truck doesn't look like heavy maintenance and your fat minister also exposed the lack of skilled engineers in SANDF.

"Dlamini said that private South African companies to whom work was outsourced were reluctant to pass on their skills to the SANDF and maintained military vehicles poorly. The Cubans, on the other hand, are experts at keeping equipment running despite sanctions and Cuba continues to enjoy good military relations with South Africa."

fact of the matter is that your army is short of skilled personel and broke.

that's why the cubans had to fly their army engineers(not private contractors) to maintain your vehicles for you and save you from paying private contractors to milk the remaining change your army has left.

in peace time for that matter... damn shame
Again, the SANDF is simply employing more efficient fiscal policy with regards to vehical maintenance.

“Through this agreement the SANDF will be able to develop its own internal capacity and save on costs while bringing up its vehicle serviceability.”
http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/cuban-team-to-assist-sandf-1.1825681#.VQl7v46Ud8E

Dont base your argument on pictures, base it on facts. They are here to do complete overhauls and re-activate vehicals that have been in storage for decades. The SANDF only does light maintenance

130 vehicles have been earmarked for refurbishment but the SANDF is looking at overhauling 250 trucks. Three vehicles have been completely refurbished so far with others in the works. The first vehicle, a Samil 20, had 250 hours of work done on it involving the engine, differentials, electrical system, pneumatic system, bodywork etc.
http://www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Africa_8/Cuban%20Technicians%20Bringing%20SA%20Army%20Trucks%20Back%20to%20Life.shtml

The SANDF and old SADF have always outsourced high-skill/high-labor maintenance to private entities as a cost saving measure. The Cuban army is willing to do it cheaper and help improve the quality of the manics we have. It is also a solid political move that improves the bonds between the two military's and is a source of desperately needed revenue for teh

How are you not understanding this?

SANDF does light maintenance on equipment, and some heavy maintenance on small number of equipment, heavy maintenance on large numbers of equipment is outsourced to private companies - this is cheaper than keeping large numbers of specialist personnel on the SANDF pay-roll

The deal with the Cubans is an even cheaper option as they can perform the same repairs as private companies for less and at the same time assist with the training

Did Nigeria buy rifle from South Africa? We bought SAMIL transport trucks and MRAP including medical ambulances.

You have no wide knowledge of military stuff beyond your AK-47 rifle and some ancient low tech Niger delta militancy war.

The AK-47 rifle remains the most reliable assault rifle in the world today. Even Algeria the oil rich nation with the biggest defence budget in Africa is still using AK-47 rifle locally manufactured and also using the Chinese version of AK-47.

Nigeria is now fighting war with guided missile armed drones and we are the first in Africa and the only nation in Africa to do that, yet you still still say Nigeria is poorly armed. No country in Africa can match Nigeria's ISTAR capability NOT even Egypt or South Africa, they are 66 years behind us in combat ISTAR equipment technology.

17 year old SADF men? Show us proof SADF had 17 year old special forces in Angola. One of the best elite troops ever in the defunct SADF, Colonel Eben himself is now about 65 years old today !

SADF has NEVER had more than a few hundred special forces deployed in bush war Angola. The 4,000 men in frontline are mostly basic regular troops plus non-combatant soldiers like drivers, mechanics, cooks, nedicals, etc.

The total number of men that ever became special forces in SADF are less than 1,000 during the bush war.

Troop rotation means soldiers A and B fight 6 months, go home on vacation, soldiers C and D replace them for 6 months, then C and D too go for vacation so A and B come back to replace them.

That is how you recycle the same 1,000 troops for 10 years. Troop rotation means rotation....recycle.....repeat.....not that you create a new batch of 1,000 fresh soldiers every 6 months when you rotate.

Dullard Domingo, your dull brain itself needs rotation !

In Nigeria, our Government hired PMC's to aid with on the ground training of our new systems to enable us decimate the terrorists.
