AugustineAgain: Show a source that says they are worse. I don't need your private opinion90% of the countries in the world are too poor to afford dedicated attack helicopters |
AugustineAgain: Easy, use of Cluster b.ombs with one single bomb spreading 500 b.omblets covering an entire area of 10 kilometer square directly above the ship and all around it.You dont have clusterbombs and no clusterbombs have a 10km spread - that is goddamn ludicrous Also, to my knowledge, clusterbombs are now banned |
AugustineAgain: Try rescue your Rhinos at home first...Try rescue your country first |
AugustineAgain: We have Lynx anti-submarine helicopters in reserveFirst, the chances of your plane detecting a snorkel unless it is just a few KM's away is ludicrous - a needle within a forest of haystacks Second, when you send in a strike the Valour Class will detect it and dive deep - safe as can be Third, your Lynx is non-operational and completely outdated, not a threat at all. |
AugustineAgain: Yes !First you need to say how they will engage it |
AugustineAgain: Mi-35 Hinds have chaff and flare counter-measures to waste your hand held Starstreak missiles.Mi-35 Hinds have chaff and flare counter-measures to waste your hand held Starstreak missiles. Then you clearly have no idea how Starstreak works. You no longer steer the missile into the target. You just point the big massive screen in that image in the vague direction of the target, Starstreak does the rest. Thus far it's been ruthlessly accurate against differing targets in test shots. Being able to attack land targets, being capable of mounting multiple forms of missiles and for being virtually impossible (if not completely immune in 99% of cases) to being jammed or deflected in any way, because the missile doesn't give a sh1t for your flares or chaff, it isn't tracking them. You must be mistaking Starstreak for something that isn't the rapetastic system that it is. -Immune to countermeasures -Triple warhead spread -Tri-launchers for rapid firing without reloading -WTF levels of acceleration to catch anything thinking it'll get away with a pop up or flyover attack -No lock on time needed -Assisted guidance so precision isn't needed by the operator, only a vague direction -Designed to be able to rape anything up to an IFV on the ground as well without any modification needed -Designed to be able to mount new Light Multirole Guided MIssile in the same tube for multi-target engagement on land, air and precise surface Easy, NAF helicopters can fly at 3km altitude and be laughing at your 1km maximum altitude 'modern' Starstreak missiles that is as good as a catapult made of wood from Iroko tree you have no weapons you can deploy from that Altitude. So they are useless up there. And sitting ducks for Gripen and Hawks Your modern jets are poorly armed, South Africa has NO SINGLE air to ground missile. Dont need them - we have JDAMS Your laser guided bombs and missiles will have their laser system jammed by our APCs smoke dispensers and T-84 has Optronics laser jammer. Only the T-84 has laser warning, and you dont actually have any. So there goes that argument Your snail speed guided bombs will be sh.ot down by ordinary anti-aircraft guns. You keep saying that - but you have been unable to find a single instance in the last 20 years of a single JDAM being shot down. SAAF barks more than it can bite.....toothless bulldog Which makes the NAF a Chihuahua with down-syndrome |
AugustineAgain: Could extend is NOT Will extend, learn to read and understand.Fact is, we will now be patrolling both the Indian and Atlantic And the coasts of 4 different nations That is force projection you could not dream of |
AugustineAgain: Citation proof for that claim please...Consult: Every war the T-72 has ever fought in. T-72 is an absolute peice of sh1t, in every way shape and form I would choose an Olifant Mk1 over a T-72 |
AugustineAgain: The report was from Ukrainian Tv news and I post the video here for you, the T-72 tank upgrade company manager said the tanks are going to Nigeria Africa. The website that copied the story interpreted it all into English.Hundreds? Lol. what a clown |
AugustineAgain: Janes is not free, you pay suscription, so lets us use your credit card.So you admit you have no proof? You admit that it is all BS rumors started by click-bait Beegeagles rumor-mill blog? |
AugustineAgain: They ships were NOT bought, that proves you are lying, they are free gift second hand German navy over-used useless MinesweepersOk, so a free gift And we should turn it down? Ever heard the saying "never look a gift horse in the mouth"? And we have minsweeps in service still today - so there goes your argument |
AugustineAgain: You saw my shadow in Soweto?I hear you were posting from a farmers hut oustide Abuja |
AugustineAgain: You should have fired one torpedo and see the NATO response your submarine will get. You think your navy can fight same NATO that sold the submarine to you? They will render your submarine useless with anti-torpedo decoys and sink it with counter attack ASW weaponsBlah blah blah Facts are facts We sunk their task-force |
AugustineAgain: We have 660 artillery guns, you have 120. We have almost 500 tanks, you have 250, we have 30 + 40 = 70 combat helicopters, you have only 10, we have 300 navy inshore/midshore fast vessels, you have only 20.We have 660 artillery guns, you have 120. And our 120 are better, individually, tactically and strategically than all your guns We have almost 500 tanks, you have 250, 250 which are better in every way and you only actually have around 150 tanks - so you have less than us we have 30 + 40 = 70 The majority of which are transports All of which are obsolete 300 navy inshore/midshore fast vessels, you have only 20. We have 4 Frigates You have 1 We have 3 submarines You have none We have 26 4th gen fighters You have none Etc Etc Etc |
AugustineAgain: Nope, Beegeagle is known by the Nigerian military, the navy officially partners with him on anti-piracy campaign with an open letterSo he is a propaganda mouth-peice? Unheard of in the international community? |
NaijaPikinGidi: Even Togo is preparing and training hard for war! The question is: which war are they preparing for? People that couldn't do CAR and M23 alone want to go to war anywhere in Africa?Irony is that of all sub-saharan countries South Africa has fought the most and the biggest conventional wars |
AugustineAgain: [size=14pt] South African army to be under command of Uganda.No mention of leadership And since we are the ones leading the formation of the Unit, and the fact that it is one of Jacob Zuma's presidential legacy projects (like the nuke deal) its pretty obvious who will be in charge |
Henry120: Keep up with this current rhetoric in your fantasy land, let it get to a diplomatic level, and see our diplomats change things for you, so quickly.Our diplomats are better than yours Hence why we get invited to things like the Syrian Peace-Talks |
AugustineAgain: [size=14pt] Post clear source of Rooivalk weapons payload kilograms and weapon option types....I will reply with Mi-35M superiority and we settle this argument forever....it will be Epic !Rooivalk payload is 2000 kg http://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1994/1994%20-%202293.PDF |
agaugust: Proof is that people who know these weapons say them face to face, that is proof, seeing is believing.- Relies on SIPRI when it suits him - Says its inacurate when it suits him #FundimentalContradictions |
agaugust: Fool, Liar"Any [Nigerian] can edit wiki" Show us proof |
agaugust: [size=14pt]No way ignorant bush man !While you are behaving like a clown let me remind you: 1. You dont actually have the T-84 2. It doesnt have composite armor - layered =/= composite 3. Yes, 227kg of high-explosive JDAM will annihilate it 4. Cant defend against the milimeter-band seeker on the Makopa 5. Cant defend against short range attacks from Ingwe or Milan (no reaction time for the crew) - we like to fight close when we fight tanks, just ask the Cubans ![]() Rest of your post is irrelevant pea-cocking from a small child. Those systems are reliant on the skills of the operator, and Nigeria has no tank battle experience - so according to your own argument Nigeria will be unable to use it properly |
agaugust: Bwahahahalol no we wont You say Nigeria had Tucano's and T-72's last year - and yet it does not show up on SIPRI in anycase would a responsible person not wait until they can prove they have what they say they have? |
agaugust: Whatever it is IFV or whatever, it is almost another Rooivalk failure...rejected by SANDF because they cannot afford itMbombe has allready been sold to other nations jackass |
agaugust: Weapons and Equipment displayed at arms manufacturers marketing show are NOT in the arsenal of SANDF.Denel is state owned. Everything Denel makes Everything any comapany Denel owns makes Belongs to the state And yes, we havent bought the Mbombe... yet |
agaugust: #SANDF IsBroke YouWill BuyNothing New....Only Nigeria BuysNew WeaponsYeah, I guess you didnt read the article Thiza posted about current programes in the SANDF Not broke Still buying new weapons |
[size=15pt]Another horse in the stable[/size] Denel Dynamics is showing a model of its Raptor III precision stand-off weapon for the first time, in the company’s display outside Hangar 4. The weapon is tailored to a strategic mission against high-value targets, which are often hardened and well-defended. Like its predecessor, the Raptor II, the new weapon has pop-out wings to extend range. However, the Raptor III is aerodynamically cleaner with its systems being housed within the weapon body. Other systems, such as infrared seeker, have also been improved. The programme is currently in the development stage. Raptor III is a long-range (less than 300km) weapon that can be programmed to fly a variety of flightpaths. It is guided by jam-resistant GNSS (global navigation satellite system) and inertial navigation, with optional low-light TV or imaging infrared terminal-phase seekers. Automatic target recognition algorithms allow the weapon to identify its target and guide itself to impact with a circular error probability of less than 3m. Blast/frag and penetration warhead options are available. Attack profiles are best planned on the ground for optimal mission planning, but the Raptor III has a datalink for in-flight target reprogramming. The weapon can be fully integrated with an aircraft’s fire control system, or linked to the carrier’s system by wireless transmission.

MikeZA: The A-Darter is simply waiting for the air force to order it,putting the project into the industrialisation and production phase. The defence review might the reason holding the order.interesting I wonder if the development of a ground launcher for the Uhmkonto for the GBADS program will be halted to allow the adoption of the Marlin Either way, a Valour Class cruising about with 16 Uhmkonto and 16 Marlin in the VLS tubes will be a hell of a keystone in fleet air defence |
andrewza: if we buy new we may as well just build the TTDJoint project with the Brazilians would be nice. They have their own TTD which they also shelved and their Leo 1's are getting old. Could be another fantastic co-operative like the A-Darter |
andrewza: hopefully we still get the leo2 before to many buyers increase the price.it could still just go back into production ya'know Plus, new MBT is so low on the list of needs. Hopefully something new will be on the market. In anycase, something like the Jap Type 10 or Leclerc MBT is more in line with what we need. Or... we could break the bank an invest in K-2's Basically, there is so much out there, not getting the Leo would not be the end of the world. Hell, maybe some Chally 2's will be on the market by then... Basically, as long as we dont buy slavshit, im happy |
andrewza: Wrong, Canada was about to get rid of the LEO1s because they where only doing coin work. Astan showed them tanks are exalent for coin work. Now the went from scraping tanks to buying LEO2s. Tanks are good at killing people to.The Finns just ordered another 100 Leo2's And the Polish are probably going to splerg on Leo2a7's buy if their Defense Review gets the budget it asks for ($43 billion in the next decade) Leo2a7 is probably the best tank that any nation could ever hope to get their hands on, and it is designed with COIN applications in mind |
