Most assault rifles effective range is 300m to 600m.

What is the range of SANDF R-4 rifle ? 1,000m ?

Fool...Fraud !
.
Again, re-read my post

I said most battle-rifles can reach out and touch you at 1km

What is the difference between a battle-rifle and assault rifle? Do i need to educate you?

There are wars across lakes too wide to bridge. In full rainy season and at it's peak, no bridge can span lake Chad, means Nigerian army cannot cross into Chad except by pontoons, like rafts ferrying armour across a huge lake....the enemy on the other side will be picking you off one by one like sitting ducks.

IFV were built amphibious for a good reason, the white man is not a fool like you who thinks it's no good because you have NONE grin grin

Nigerian army has about 1,000 amphibious armoured vehicles
.
1. Why go over it when you can go around it?
2. How will you supply your men on the other side?
3. What difference will 4 BTR's make?

SANDF Fairy tale defence review in a "nutshell".


There does not appear to be any real urgency regarding the Defence Review and its need to progress through the Parliamentary process enabling at least a start to be made on reversing the downward spiral of the South African military.

The latest example of tardiness can be found in the programme of the Joint Standing Committee on Defence for the first part of the 2015 Parliamentary work year.

The Parliamentary Programme Framework provides for a committee period between January 27 and February 11 for Parliamentary committees, such as defence, to meet and conduct oversight visits.

In essence it boils down to the Framework making time available for the various Parliamentary committees to work.

“It means 10 days, spanning 80 hours, of meetings could have been scheduled for the Joint Standing Committee on Defence to consider aspects of the Defence Review, by agreement the committee’s top priority. Sadly, not a single meeting has been scheduled for the committee period,” said David Maynier, opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) party shadow defence and military veterans minister.
READ MORE


The Defence Review was completed at the request of then Defence Minister, Lindiwe Sisulu, by Roelf Meyer and his team for tabling in Parliament late in 2012. A change of Minister ensured this did not happen and when current Minister, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, eventually tabled the document in Parliament last July, its title was changed to reflect it as the 2014 Defence Review and not the 2012 Defence Review.

Among others, the Review stated the SANDF was “in a critical state of decline, characterised by force imbalance between capabilities; block obsolescence and unaffordability of many of its main operating systems; a disproportionate tooth-to-tail ratio; the inability to meet current standing defence commitments and the lack of critical mobility”.

Taking another excerpt from the Review (“even with an immediate intervention it could take at least five years to arrest the decline and another five to develop a limited and sustainable defence capability”) to illustrate the need to get on with the job as far as turning the SANDF around Maynier points out “there is an element of urgency”.

“Every day wasted talking about the Defence Review, rather the implementing it, accelerates the decline of the SANDF.”

He is not happy about the manner in which the Joint Standing Committee intends to deal with the Review.

“Its current rubberstamp programmes envisage dealing with the 344 page document, based on 435 stakeholder meetings and 76 public submissions at a cost of nearly R11 million to the taxpayer in three meetings. These meetings are set to last 10.5 hours and will take place between February 20 and March 5.”

He has proposed an alternative of 18 meetings including briefings on military preparedness, downsizing and rightsizing, acquisition priorities and affordability of Review proposals.

“In the end it is a disgrace that the SANDF is being held hostage by lazy and disinterested MPs serving on the Joint Standing Committee on Defence,” Maynier said this week.
So its taking time to get through parliament

So what? Where does it say its a fairy tale?

Let me repeat, you weren't missed. You name was mentioned only in references.

Yes Nigeria has a pact with them. We seen that pact come into in the supply of BTR4E, MI-35, T-72AV and T-84 tank deliveries, despite Ukraine also been involved in ATO.

No, SANDF doesn't and have never spent more than Nigeria, we have consistently said this over the years.
Per person we spend double what you do

And you are at war while we are not

South Africa does not hide weapons , you photograph and advertise all you have, even the Mokopa missile you don't have is published for public information. Only Nigeria hides weapons, NAF has drones with PGMs and yet was saying that they don't have PGM, now after the truth has leaked out, they admit they have PGM.

Your A109's are grounded, all 26 of them. Defenceweb article i pasted a few weeks back proves so.

You have only 1. Again prove posted, i'm not going to repost them because of you.
Did the artical say they were permanently grounded?

Or did it say they were grounded pending their maintenance paperwork being sorted out?

Its a pity you have to resort to manipulation of the facts in your vain attempt to prove a point

Henry120:
For what it's worth, you weren't missed.

Denel owns drones doesn't equate to the SANDF fielding them, or been able to afford them.

In the Ukraine, their Defence manufacturers export state of the art IFV, Tanks, LAV's, while Ukrainian troops ride in pick-up trucks and "back yard/amateur welded buses".

Do you know why this happens?........... it is because, just like the SANDF, the Ukrainian government is broke, and cannot afford to properly equip the Ukrainian military.


The Fact a defence company makes something, doesn't equate to your military fielding them.
Denel is not a private defence company

Sandf is not broke, and neither is our government

The NAF CH-3 armed drone costs over $1 million and has ISTAR camera/thermal imager/FLIR for target selection before launching guided missile and guided bombs with precision to hit verified and identified target, careful use will not harm civilians.

Another failure, Kobani!!.

After over 1500 air strikes on the tiny town on the border with turkey, there are still ISIS fighters in the city engaging the YPGg, whether it is outskirts or not, it doesn't matter.

One would have expected the all powerful and stupendous americans to have completely obliterated the enemy a long time ago........ No, No............ 5 months on, they are still fighting in a small town.

South Africa is a garbage factory where all kinds of thrash gets manufactured. Your AMSCOR made robot cannon turned SANDF anti-aircraft gun on your own soldiers at home and killed them in training, nobody could control the gun until all its 35mm shells were fired on SANDF soldiers that were operating the gun, thus killing and maiming your own army with your own product at home. See where Chinese are better than you? Your own guns turn against SANDF and spray them with automatic fire , nation of garbage!!!

Equipment malfunctions from time to time no reason to say that everything we make is garbage

1 million is figurative, you should know that.

Means we can build as many Igirigi as we can get engines to buy, Ford will give us 50,000 engines if we pay. DICON can produce 100,000 mortars if we pay.

All am saying us equipment you don't have in arsenal is never counted as military might, world military power ranking sites don't count DENEL products unless SANDF has them in service after purchase. DENEL won't give you free weapons, they ran into heavy debt and almost collapsed around 2012 untill government used cash to bail them out.

No free DENEL drones for you, SANDF does NOT have any Seeker drone in service and NO Mokopa missile that the drone is designed to carry.

You have neither the drone nor it's missile, Nigerian air force has combat drones armed with missiles so we are superior to you in military technology, your SANDF is a rag tag photographers club tonguetongue

Who said nigeria has armed drones??

American drones crash is pakistan all the time - can the pakistanis say that they have drones now?

Hey, let USA send Yankee white army to come to Nigerian military academy and learn how to recover your army vehicles back from the enemy when you lose them, Taliban rag tag terrorists are driving around Afghanistan in captured Obama Humvee vehicles till today, White House, go to Aso Rock for combat lectures !

I almost feel sorry for you.

SAN has 4 Frigates, correct. However, SAN can only afford to keep 1 Frigate at sea. In south-Africa, grounded is just the same thing as decommissioned. Look at your A109's, all grounded. They spent more time grounded than in the air.

"Why does South-Africa even bother with a military"?......... it's absolutely no use.
We just spent USD 20 million on overhauling a frigate - we can definitly afford to operate them

We are simply performing maintenance inline with international maritime standards (see germany for example)

And A109s are not grounded - if they were how would we send them on disaster releif operations in mozambique?

"The Defence Headquarters on Monday said the troops inflicted more casualties on fleeing insurgents while military locations in Maiduguri and Konduga were reinforced.

It further stated that the troops captured a large number of heavy military hardware from the insurgents.

The tweet read, “Our forces recorded some casualties. Meanwhile, ground troops are in charge and Air Force patrol on going at Maiduguri and Konduga.

Substantial amount of heavy weapons have been captured as more terrorists died in the fight which lasted till early Monday morning."
