agaugust:1. What is the maximum range of Bofors FH-77B artillery at low altitude and at high altitude ? 20km without base bleed 30km with base bleed 42km at high altitude http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html 2. What is the maximum range of G-6 Rhino artillery at low altitude and at high altitude ? 30,000 m with standard HE rounds, 39,000 m with HE base bleed rounds, and 52,500 m with a special velocity-enhanced Long Range Projectile (V-LAP—fired from G6). 67,450 m M9703A1 V-LAP round (tested successfully to 73,000 m by Denel in G6-52 Extended Range platform) http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13537:fact-file-g6-l45-self-propelled-towed-gun-howitzer-&catid=79:fact-files&Itemid=159 and http://www.military-today.com/artillery/g6_rhino.htm High altitude would be 49km with standard base bleed, 62km with VLAP, 77km with M9703A1 (83km with G6-52) Conclusion: SANDF has longest range artillery in Africa |
agaugust:Augustus Fh77B max range with standard ammunition is around 20km FH77B max range with base bleed is 30km FH77 can acheive a max range at high altitude of 42km. But the G5 and G6 out-range the FH77B at low altitude, that their max range will also increase at altitude, meaning they will also out-range it at altitude. |
agaugust:Why do I have to show you a full list? We know that South Africa has base bleed You have no proof that Nigeria has base bleed. Thus, Nigeria does not have base bleed, until you prove that it does. |
agaugust:Only one in a trap here is you Who said that 2,4km counts as high altitude? You invented this figure after being smashed in debate. Nigerian Bofors FH77B has a standard maximum range of 30km. The G5 and G6 out range you at this altitude. If its range increases at high altitude, so does that of the G5 and G6 Hence, we will allways outrange you. Simple logic buddy... or do you think the laws of physics do not apply to the SANDF? |
agaugust:42km max range at high altitude Normal max range is 30km Confirmed by your own source |
agaugust:With base bleed Nigeria does not have base-bleed Nigerian guns max range: just over 20km |

agaugust:[size=15pt]OMG HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!![/size] This is priceless!! |
ActivateKruger:We own them #Hegemony |
agaugust:Unfortunately for you, your quoted 5.7km lands are not where the Bofors was used in battle, it was in Kargil and the altitude of Kargil is far much lower at only average 2.6km and that includes the snowy slippery slopes of mountains where artillery gun cannot climb, force of gravity will pull it down, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kargil, and Indian helicopters cannot lift the heavy 24,000 pounds Bofors guns. Why is the Kargil battle relevant? Did he say that range was acheived during the battles there? Look at this topographic map of Africa, are there any areas above or near 2,5km? Is it impossible for engineers to blast gun platforms into mountains? Does the Indian Army have Chinhooks? What is the maximum payload of a Chinhook and how much does a FH77B weigh? Answer these questions in your head and you will see why, yet again, you have embarrassed yourself. Your photo clearly proves the gun is NOT on the mountain, it is on flat ground with brown soil, gun points to mountain target, the mountain is white covered with snow and colour is white. Again, mountains are irrelevant... its all about Altitude. Did they not teach you about altitude in High school? Here is an example: The base camp at mount everest is not on the mountain, yet it sits at an altitude of 5,380 m Proves me right, prove you wrong, the artillery is clearly on flat ground at the bottom of the mountains while the target enemy is sitting on high altitude mountains where the Bofors has advantage of seeing the higher ground targets up to 42.3km What? So now the max range is dependant on what the gun can see? Not the effect of resistance of the shell in flight? Is that what you are saying? So if I have a G6 with a drone giving it a live feed, and that drone is 1000km away... can my G6 now shoot 1000km? Is that what you are saying? Good lord.

agaugust:Augustus. I dont think I can make this any more simple for you. That range is only acheivable at high altitude The pictures are of guns at high altitude The base of the mountains is at... you guessed it (probably not)... high altitude Or do you not understand geography as well as basic physics? There is no where in Africa where such altitude can be achieved The Indian Officer did not say "the range is achieved when on the top of mountains" he said "at high altitude" Please explain to the forum why altitude is irrelevant and why they must be on a mountain top. Fact of the matter is that the maximum attainable range of the Bofors FH77B in Africa is around 20km. |
EVarn:"paltry contribution" You mean the total of 231 000 South African men who fought in the war? Dude, just as an example, where the 1st (South African) Infantry Brigade inflicted over 7000 casualties for the loss of only 2 500 men and is largely credited with the destruction of one of Germanys best divisions (9th Division) The Battle of Delville Wood. |
Thiza:Dude, that is a poor example of the "hauls" we have made The last picture is of one of SEVEN SA-8's (9K33 Osa) that we captured.

[size=15pt]The Truth Comes out!![/size] [size=13pt]Nigeria's military has been cooperating with various vigilante forces in the northeast for more than a year, often relying on civilians to do the bulk of the fighting against the insurgents. Witnesses said it was vigilantes who recaptured the symbolically important northeast town of Chibok from Boko Haram at the weekend, with troops staying clear of the heavy fighting.[/size] http://news.yahoo.com/nigeria-cleric-backs-vigilantes-doubts-military-boko-haram-185542536.html |
Msauza:There is no where in africa where the gun can achieve that sort of range |
agaugust:Quote where I said that. Ok, if you insist: agaugust:Its pretty clear that you think air at high altitude is more dense because it is cold... the irony that you have been bragging about superior nigerian education is too much for my sides Now the Indian army video NEVER said what you claimed, the army Bofors artillery officer said range is 41km at altitude, simple. [size=15pt]This is a lie[/size] at exactly 2:36 in the video he says "at high altitude areas the gun acheives a maximum range of 42.3km" The officer did NOT define it as low altitude, medium altitude, or high altitude.....there are 3 levels of altitude and all of them above ground/sea level. You are the one who personally claimed that the man meant high altitude because you want to twist the information to commit fraud as usual. Also the army Captain did not specify what is at altitude, the gun or the target far away. He just said "At altitude". Finish. He defined it as "high altitude areas" Thus he meant high altitude. As usual, you are the one who is commuting complete and utter fraud and, as usual, when losing an argument you claim every-one else is commiting fraud, acting like you are some honest victim You have been completely and utterly exposed in every way You are the one changing the analysis to high altitude, gun sitting on mountain top where there is snow and nobody can climb, then Bofors is heavy artillery too heavy for Indian helicopters to sling airlift. Indian army has the Chinook - the Chinhook can sling the FH77 with ease. They also have roads in the Himalaya's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khardung_La sits at 5,359m above sea-level http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsimik_La sits at 5,777m above sea-level This means that they can drive the guns up to where the air is half as dense as it is at sea level It does not need to be on the top of a mountain when the average altitude of the Himalaya's is over 6000m above sea level - it simply has to be in the mountain range. This has been a wonderfull few days for me, I have broken Augugugbgugug and exposed his lies on a day to day basis.

agaugust:Lol, now this guy wants a photo of every mountain range in the world You have been shown how artillery gets into the mountains. You have been shown artillery in mountain ranges. What more do you want? Keep squirming clown. This is very entertaining |
agaugust:Augusust. You have been defeated. Stop wasting my time. The gun itself is sitting at 6000m above sea level in the Himalya's. The air is half as dense there as it is at sea level. The gun gets longer range at high altitude, according to the same Indian army officer you have quoted many times. Such high altitude is only acheiveable in the Himalyas Dude, you are making a massive fool of yourself at this point. I recommend that you accept defeat. |
overhypedsteve:quite the opposite. He is parroting the same outdated statements from various opinion pieces over and over The facts tell a very different story |
agaugust:Your own source says so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvZjxq3kYSs This is boring, its too easily to debunk your pathetic arguments. Hell, its gotten to the point where you are humiliating yourself!!* *I seriously cannot beleive that you just tried to tell us that air at high altitude is more dense than air at low altitude!! ![]() |
agaugust:[size=15pt]congratulations on embarrassing yourself augugbguggug. [/size] Air at high altitude is less dense than air at low altitude If the entire mass of the atmosphere had a uniform density from sea level, it would terminate abruptly at an altitude of 8.50 km (27,900 ft). It actually decreases exponentially with altitude, dropping by half every 5.6 km (18,000 ft) or by a factor of 1/e every 7.64 km (25,100 ft), the average scale height of the atmosphere below 70 km (43 mi; 230,000 ft) In summary, the mass of Earth's atmosphere is distributed approximately as follows:[23] 50% is below 5.6 km (18,000 ft). 90% is below 16 km (52,000 ft). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth#Physical_properties Meaning that the air in the Himalaya's is half as dense as the air at ground level - this allows the shell to travel further You see, my South African education has been proven to be superior to your bush-school education. This is basic, primary school, knowledge we are talking here. Knowledge you seemingly dont have. South African Education > Nigerian Peasant Education

sirjerry:And Nigerians call defeat victory |
agaugust:O my gawd Dude, high altitude means the gun is fired at.... you guessed it... high altitude Shells achieve ultra-long distance ranges there because the air is thinner, hence lest resistance to the shell in flight. This is basic high-school physics. You should know this. I have allready posted a picture of a Bofors in the Himalaya's, where the average elevation is 6000m above sea level - high altitude This is pure desperation on your part, driven by the inability to comprehend even the simplest things |
Henry120:First, no you havent. All you have done is fix it all the times you have crashed it (that is 8 times). Then Americans came to Nigeria to re-fit it for you. We didnt buy our equipment to chase pirates. We bought our equipment for military purposes. And the OPV order is about to be made. And the Valour Class is perfectly capable of anti-piracy duties, as the SAN proved where they reduced piracy in the Mozambique channel to ZERO. And submarines have frequently been deployed off Somalia on anti-piracy duties, the Chinese just sent one. Dont worry, the SAN Valour and Heroine Class will soon be coming to Nigeria to help you with your piracy problem, so you can see for yourself first hand. You see, the SANDF is geared towards defending South Africa. The Nigerian Navy cannot defend Nigeria. We have a military warfighting fleet. You do not. All our equipment is operational - as has been proven, many many times. 18 Gripen aircrew have been trained - which makes sense as 14 aircraft are fully operational. Augusta are operational - pictures and sources have been posted. You cannot avoid this point. Post a source that says that they arent - i dare you. You are the one who demands pictures. So now you have them. Also, your source is based on outdated information buddy - A109 training resumed shortly after that artical was published http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32552:a109-luh-conversion-course-resumes&catid=35:Aerospace&Itemid=107 Feel free to post official numbers and not opinion peices about Aircraft being operational. O so the presidential fleet flew 18 000 hours? is that what you are saying now? Well, i included their numbers in the airfleet, and according to official flight hours, each aircraft in the SAAF averaged 70 flight hours per year. What do you say to that? And well done, you proved that SANDF veterinary services were involved in chipping rhino's on military land... i thought you said we deployed SF and MRAP's? Another one of your flights of fancy? You are reaching new lows Henry Now, I recommend you come with some facts, or, take your beating like a man. |
agaugust:Why does it need to be on a mountain top? Its in a mountain range Or do you think that slippery snow makes the shell go further? |
agaugust:#PostingLikeA12YearOld |
agaugust:Nigeria has no major exercises or regular Battalion or Brigade training exercises |
agaugust:I said 4000 because you first started saying that we deployed only 4000 men to the border. I quote "show us any time south africa has deployed more than 4000 men" So, well done you have just exposed your own lies!!! Hahahahah You are utterly incompetent And, all together, Russian Cuban and MPLA accounted for 140 000 men. |
agaugust:Why is a slippery slope with snow relevant? Here you go again, Bofors in the Himalaya's at over 6000 meters above sea level... the top of mount kilimanjaro is only 5,800m

... |
agaugust:I dont have to. I have allready shown you one at high altitude. 42km with BB rounds is only acheivable in the Himalayas. There is no where in Africa that it can be replicated. You lose, again ![]() |
agaugust:Now you post like a child? First you say 120 000, and i point out that is completely wrong Then you say "no no, I meant UNITA and FNLA" I point out the number is still no where near 120 000 And now another killer blow: According to the same wiki page you posted, FNLA numbers in 1976 were only 7000 So, 60 000 + 7 000 = 67 000 So, you are still well short of your supposed 120 000 Now you say "hurr durr its impossible" Well, its not. Fact of the matter is that 20 000 (averaging only 4000 year on year) SANDF personnel stopped 150 000 Cubans and MPLA dead for 25 years in a row. We never lost a single battle. No Cuban or MPLA ever stepped foot on Namibian territory. This is a historical fact. Deal with it. |
