agaugust: Reason why we say ALL South Africans are born fools. So because white-men's new media say Chadian helicopters bomb targets you just believe them because you have no brain fiber to challenge their claims....LOL Soweto is sprawling with Mumus !
We Nigerians are challenging that American/European news agency that Chadian Mil Hippo helicopters are NOT weapon armed, they are ordinary transports.
Shows you how much lies and fraud is posted by white-men sitting down 7,000 km away in USA/EU and writing battlefield reports copied from Facebook, like BBC....White racist apartheid fools .
Take another look at those helo's, they are armed
Furthermore, Syrian "hippos" drop pretty devastating bombs on Allepo
agaugust: New equipment awaited just arrived and more still arriving, tanks, IFV, MRLS, guided missile armed drones that no African country has ever used in war.
Sri Lanka is the first country to win a big modern day religious insurgency war against Tamil Tigers, their final offensive took almost 25 years to launch.
Anyway, how will South Africans know how real war is fought when their own army is sleeping lazily at home for 20 long years .
who says that missile armed drone is yours?
SANDF trains for war... professional armies train. Thats how they know how to fight
agaugust: We don't need tanks? Boko Haram is running like SANDF when they see Nigerian T-72 tanks !
South Africa sells T-72 tanks? You imported them from where and how many units? Then what numbers have you sold? What is the name of the South African company selling them and how many do they have in stock?
Butt Hurt Southie....Nigeria has battalions of T-72 tanks including best versions with double ERA armour in layers, with a 125mm main gun that will eat up all SANDF Olifant tanks for breakfats
Your Olifants fvck around with old calibre 105mm guns, NA T-72 fights with 125mm guns, we will roast SANDF like barbacue ! .
T-72 A.T.E which is an upgrade that makes it fully 3rd gen, its done by A.T.E (same people who do the super-hind).
You dont have "battalions" of T-72's, you have a very limited number
Your T-72 has only got ERA - Olifant has composite armor. Plus, you will never see the Olifant, Ratel-ZTE will be hunting them as soon as they are spotted
Olifant has more modern systems than the T-72's you have in service
You are trying to force the whole world to believe amphibious armoured vehicles are useless ONLY BECAUSE SANDF does not have anyone
Go tell the Russian and American/European brains that saw the need and developed those swimming vehicles that they are stupiiid because South Africa has no single amphibious armoured vehicles. Mumu De Dundeee .
They were developed for recon or amphibious assault - not what you are talking about
agaugust: Brown water navy? Nigeria has the best brown force in the world today !
When you see an APC in the ocean, they are going towards their own navy amphibious ships to carry them or they were dropped by their own navy amphibious landing crafts to go on to land invasion.
I said they fight across rivers and lakes.
If we go abroad with army only, its Nigerian army amphibious armoured vehicles combination of Cobras, BTR-4, and others including our amphibious Sagaie Tank Destroyers with 90mm long range cannon that will wipe out any brown water enemy gun boat that shows up....oh, I just remembered South Africa has nothing like Sagaie amphibious tank destroyer, your unlucky SANDF is cursed to be a dry land only army for just homeland, sorry o !
.
How will you support these forces once they are across the water obsticle?
The enemy simply needs to avoid contact for a couple of days, perhapse mounting a fighting retreat, and eventually without ammunition or fuel your men will be forced to surrender and they will capture all your equipment intact
Congratulations on making such a fine donation to the enemy.
And the Saigaie? Please, it had to sacrifice armor for its amphibious capabilities.
EVarn: ....and is the world bank located in nigeria?,no?....i wonder where the world bank HQ is located...hmm..yes,i just remembered!,its located in new~york!!.
agaugust: When your weak Soweto army travels and deploys overseas to another country, you carry bridges along inside C-130 transport?
Do you know the size and weight of those bridges and ferries?
When your army needs mobility on a battle field do you carry bridges/ferries around in every part of war zone? Your bridge men will be the first that Boko Haram will kill with 23mm cannon
Also, those ferries carry ONLY 1 single vehicle at a time ! Nigerian army swims across the same river driving 100 vehicles at a time !
You cannot use mobile bridge on wide lake like lake Chad ! It is as wide as a whole village....try put mobile bridge on lake Victoria
Can your obsolete SANDF put mobile bridge across the mighty Atlantic Ocean ? See modern Nigerian army type of Cobra APCs in photo below !
If your army is in distant operation from base and suddenly meets a river between them and their target that must be approached urgently before the enemy arrives, SANDF will phone or radio base 100km away to send them bridges? While waiting a whole day for bridges the enemy has crossed the river and beaten your army to the target, they have operated and long gone away before dry land only army arrives to launch bridge or ferry and go see the ashes and ruins and dead bodies of victims left behind by the enemy that has amphibious vehicles like Nigerian army.
SANDF has ZERO force projection
Mandela built a dry land only army, big error, live with it forever
SEE MODERN ARMY LIKE NIGERIA SWIMMING WITH MANY COBRA APCs...SANDF CAN NEVER DO THIS ACROSS WATER IN 100 YEARS ! .
First, you dont know how such bridges works, segments have boats attached to them so that they can ferry equipment across
Second, you have yet to explain how you will supply any forces once they have crossed a river or water obstacle

Every Nigerian that gets power cut in load shedding has a back up from personal electricity generator, diesel or petrol powered at home, one of our 100 watt light bulbs is brighter than your 1,000 Johannesburg candle lights joined together
3% of what ?
You make a big mistake, Nigeria's PHCN federal government power generation only is the 3,000 to 4,000 MW you guys always post here.
There are many private companies and state/provincial government owned electricity power stations generating extra electricity under NIPP policy, some of those NIPP power plants produce independent 200 MW, some 500 MW, some 1,000 MW.....those supply power to big industrial areas and special non-industrial zones....you always miss those out....Fool
agaugust: . [size=16pt]South Africa in electricity supply crisis, begins to copy Nigerian technology ! [/size] .
The Federal Government has started installing electronic monitors to check the vandalism of gas pipelines as part of measures aimed at ensuring regular power supply, the Minister of State for Power, Mr. Mohammed Wakil, has said. He expressed confidence that the recent privatisation of the power sector would soon yield visible results, noting that South Africa was already emulating the exercise, which he described as a model for many other countries.
Wakil said this on Saturday in an interview with journalists in Abuja.
The minister said in due course, Nigerians would soon be taking power supply for granted.
He said, “Power supply will become what Nigerians can take for granted. We are expanding investment in the transmission sector through the involvement of the private sector.
“The distribution companies are investing in system upgrade, like South Africa is about to start. The generation companies are busy with the upgrade, especially after the administration had addressed the gas-to-power issue. We are installing electronic monitors to check incessant vandalism of gas pipelines by enemies of the nation.” Wakil said South Africa was emulating the Nigerian privatisation model for the transformation of its ailing energy sector.
This, he argued, was a vindication of the durability of the policies and programmes of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration.
He said the crisis rocking the South African power sector had necessitated the country to draft a power sector privatisation bill now before its parliament.
The minister said, “Nigeria has become a model for power sector reforms in Africa. A bill, almost like our 2005 Electricity Sector Reform Act, is in the works in the South African parliament. We must commend Mr. President for this.
agaugust: Olodo, supply convoy varies with the size of forward troops it is to resupply, the front line forces could be a platoon or battalion size, supply need varies with size, some truck convoys are just 10 vehicles not hundreds.....fool
Cobra, VBL, BTR-70, Mowag are all amphibious and will become APC, we have over 500 units of those APCs....fool
MT-LB is built as muti-role including supply transport for 2,000 kg of cargo, you don't have such amphibious transport in the whole of South Africa, and you will NEVER own one in your dry land only army.....fool
"Description. The crew, a driver and a commander/gunner sit in a compartment at the front of the vehicle, with the engine behind them. A compartment at the rear enables up to 11 infantry to be carried or a cargo of up to 2,000 kg. A load of 6,500 kg can be towed. The vehicle is fully amphibious, being propelled by its tracks in the water."
I won't waste time with a fool like you, no more replies, case closed....you are stuck with a dry land only SANDF that Mandela built in error .
So first you said 1000 now you say 500?
Ok, so it can carry 2ts of supplies - how many supplies does a brigade consume per day? An US armored brigade consumes 195,000 gallons of fuel every 12 hours - so thats 390000 gallons per day, which is 1 476 310.6 liters, meaning that your MT-LB's will need to make 11356 round triper per day, per vehical to keep it operational.
Thats just an example, and that is just fuel - even if you consume 1/3 of that, its still 3785 round trips per vehicle per day (157 round trips per hour).
And now lets think about spares, ammo, men, food, equipment etc
"Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics." - Gen. Robert H. Barrow, USMC (Commandant of the Marine Corps)
agaugust: About 14 of SAAF 26 Gripen jets are redundant, and also 44 of the 46 units G-6 Rhino artillery, and about 1,000 units of Ratel IFV, Rooikat TD, and MRAPs of SANDF are all totally redundant in cold storage according to defenceweb....means all those your Gripens and army equipment are bad and should have been sent to scrap metal yard for waste disposal.
Dundeee Domingo Block-Head !
All Gripen are operational
Defencewed does not differentiate between equipment in storage and equipment in use by reserves - i have posted citations of 2 batteries of G6's being used by reserves at exercises for example.
agaugust: [size=16pt] Now South African mofos, go home and drink your own urine !
NNS Centenary P18N is a stealth warship invisible to radar at distance.....and modular design tested in sea trials to fire missiles that can be fitted only if needed when war arises
Argentina and Uruguay have expressed interest in buying the combat module of the Nigerian navy stealth ship ![/size]
"During an interview, Major-General Yin Zhuo made particular mention of the vessel's stealth performance.
On the stealth performance of F91, Yin Zhuo pointed out that the ship's bows lean slightly inward, and bevels are superimposed on the upper part of the deck; as a result, the radar reflection points are few and the radar image is small. He pointed out that an 1,800-ton ship with stealth capacity will have the radar reflection area of a ship of about 500 tons; it can be discovered only when it is very close to the radar of enemy, and cannot be observed if an appropriate distance is kept from the enemy radar."
Valour class has the radar cross section of a missile patrol boat so well done, your tiny corvette has managed to be as stealthy as our huge missile armed frigate - what an achievement
And your stealth ship is pumping huge plumes of IR fumes into the air from its funnels
finally, the statement is nonsensical - your man in china says it has the stealth properties of a 500t vessel, yet somehow at distance it becomes invisible? do all 500t vessels become invisible at distance?
Please stop posting stock promotional footage of actual Type 056 Corvettes firing missiles from a promotional video. Yours has no such capabilities, i have already posted the original video.
Its ok, your Navy is poor - we get it. Maybe if all Nigerians are good this year Santa will deliver a real warship
agaugust: You were just google searching random stuff and general info, this transaction is special .
You were not smart enough to know the T-72 M1 sale was Russian made tanks gathered together from several different armies of different countries of origin and sold to Nigeria by a Czech company ......you are a dumbo domingo that cannot analyse a complex transaction
"Soviet-made tanks T-72 M1 and 16 other vehicles, BMP armored infantry fighting vehicles and rocket launchers to an African country, its spokesman Andrej Čírtek told the paper. Čírtek said the heavy arms come from sales of redundant equipment of the armies of the former Warsaw Pact countries. Czech Defense and Security Industry Association head Jiří Hynek confirmed that the destination is Nigeria."
agaugust: Dafur half battalion troops Nigerian army Vs Sudanese Janhaweed. Attack on base at night.
Historic battle we won.
ECOMOG wars were 99% Nigerian military and we had 100% command and control for 10 years. Show we where South African military matched that size of force, total command, and years of combat experience ! .
agaugust: Your favourite Boko Haram control map was torn into pieces finally yesterday, Boko Haram has been flushed down the toilet in Gwoza and several other towns....Hell is full of burning Boko souls as we speak
agaugust: Those SF men were inside South Africa, whatever name the park is, American service men and old mercenaries came to save South Africa from Rhino poachers.....where were your own famous SADF apartheid old mercenaries that you say the whole world wants to employ but your own country does not want to employ them when SANDF has failed....you went for Yankee soldiers invading South Africa in broad daylight to save you at home
Shame....on SANDF....Shame .
They worked for a private company in private land
There are many such people and organizations doing so. They all have nothing to do with police, sandf or sanparks
