Nigerian army signals regiment never left Mali till today, garrison regiment was recalled for being put under a strange Rwandan commander that had no troops in Mali and who did not participate in the fighting ops. Who withdrew Nigerian contingent from Sudan? You?

So you retreated because Rawandans are scary?
[Joke]

See, these things are more complex.

South Africa gets cash refunded back to her for peace keeping in Sudan. UN/AU pays for all SANDF expenses. The Sudan Dafur mission costs South Africa almost nothing. Find a better excuse for abandoning a tough mission while same President Zuma is in Abuja now calling on African armies to unite amd fight all evil....while he retreats from crisis zone and abandons Dafur people without feelings.

Nigeria spent over $10 Billion of tax payers money to single handedly fund a 10 year war of 15,000 NA troops of which 1,000 Nigerian soldiers died leaving widows and fatherless children behind in Lagos, Abuja, everywhere. No UN, AU, or ECOWAS ever paid us one dollar refund. Yet a Nigerian army battalion is still based in Liberia/Sierra Leone today since 26 years ago !

Nigeria has NEVER complained one day !!! True lover of Africa.

There are many reasons for withdrawing

We have more important things to do with our men.

One of the last times we will see the Protea deployee operationally

Navy has her replacemeny budgeted for this year.

Has anyone seen the specific naval budget breakdown? The wording of all the articles i have seen is very confusing re: Op Biro and its funding

iblawi:
You can't deploy troops to fight book haram in Nigeria, the media is mistaking the whole issue. Special force training and developing our defence industry is what we heard hear in Nigeria. US and UK already have troops in Nigeria for the same reason and they have never been to battle field to fight book haram. When we actually needed help no nation wanted to help but now that the whole book Hiram issue is ending everybody wants to take the glory.

No one deployed because you never actually asked anyone.

In the African Defence Journal article on the Mercs they mention how GLJ had the option of calling on the ASF (southern and eastern brigades were operational) but didnt exercise the option.

If it was not an election year you can bet your top dollar he would have asked the AU for help.

stillchris:
this is the problem with the media. i guess SA media is not so different from ours after all.

i watched the chief of defense visit and nothing like deployment was mentioned. just collaborations.

Nigeria does not allow foreign boots on it's soil except for training and non combat reasons.

i sense the media trying to change the narrative. first it was america and now SA.

it's not funny at all



A recent visit of the SANDF defence chief also did not mention any deployment to fight boko haram.

So I wonder where the SA media for their false news from.

and this was the main purpose of zuma's visit that the media claimed was to seal the deployment of your military



i'm not against collaborations between the two countries but we should learn to scrutinize the media and get our facts right.
last year it was ugandan forces deploying to nigeria[/

Chad and Cameroon had small ops in our territory in border regions

The visit from that fat cu.nt Zuma is irrelevant (lile everything he does) it was Chokes part of the entourage that was important

SANDF deployed would mean you have everything to gain and nothing to lose

If they help you then you get the glory

If they fvck up then you get to blame them and distance yourself from the error

These things are political, and so you must view them from that context

You are the one derailing this thread by accussing others of derailing when you are the one creating senseless arguments and loads of lies/deception. When you posted your big lie saying army guide wrote that CAM GUN is most advanced in the world when the website NEVER said so, you did not see your false claims as derailment, but when I correct your lies you call that derailment.

Stop using Naira-land forum to spread false information, go do your fraud on Rand-Land.

How is what you did any different?

Army guide is pretty clear - cam gun employs 2 different world firsts. That makes it the most advanced.

But fine, let me be more specific:

The GI-30 CAM GUN is the most advanced OPERATIONAL 30mm auto-cannon in the world

Now, argument is over. Can we please move on with our lives?

It's Patches using stolen identity of Croat. Claiming to be a Croatian citizen, yet he is Patrick the South African from Gauteng. He's now even saying his name is Paul after answering Patrick as name for 2 years. This guy is likely an ex-convict, his mind is too criminally inclined to have a crime-free record.

I let you call me Patrick because I found it quite funny how you guys claimed to have discovered my identity...a and yet were completely wrong!!

If you can say that you and the Augustine on beegeagles blog are not the same. Then I and Croat are definitly not the same - confirmed by Henry and members of the other forum

Your obsession with me is borderline homosexual

My bad. I think the link has been brought down. Guys, my sincere apology. I should have even cross-checked the vegetation. But, that's what the <false> source says. **take a bow**

No worries mate

Unfortunately these are normally the last units to be created during an insurgency and the first to be disbanded in peace

RSA used to have a motobike bn and a horse bn... now all we have left is a motobike company (i think) and i think the horses are gone too

chike00:
they have more money than you too!(cos they can afford to buy-off denel). so i guess they have nothing to learn from sandf/sadf too...cash or experience watsoeva

Americans and Dutch have both sent troops to RSA for training by the SANDF

Also, anecdotal evidence that the Swiss sent some guys for HALO training

I would like to take a moment to apologize to the rest of the forum for allowing myself to be sucked into the pointless argument that we have seen over the last few pages.

I made my statement and backed it up with citations to prove it - i should have left it at that.

However, being called a liar despite providing the evidence i based my statement on was simply too provocational.

My apologies, I will work hard on preventing myself being baited in the future and will simply ignore provocation.

Ps: badger the most advanced

agaugust:
Henry told you to stop arguing about Badger IFV but you refused to stop, you keep repeating same argument. You want to use Henry like your tool or what?

Augustine.

This is over.

agaugust:
No ! You claim to be Croatian citizen and military expert living in Croatia, and debating on military forums around the world, lecturing Pakistanis on Pakistan military forums.....Croatia is member of NATO and signed that document you are asking from me, so you post it from NATO nation Croatia since you say you live there as citizen. NATO citizen, post NATO document for us, the document 'your own' country signed
.

1. I am not croat

2. You said NATO definitions (which are from the 1960s) say IFVs must have ATGM - they dont

Augustine, this is a forum for discussion and image sharing.

You, and your behaviour is destroying it.

Henry told you to stop. So stop.

croat:
Will do, though my IP address already proves it. 192 for the win.

Cool,

Just remeber to time-stamp the picture.

croat:
I told you already to give me link of your facebook profile to contact you , but you didn't because you know like Henry240 knows that I am not Patches which is the reason you're silent about that and you ignore it because you're afraid for being marked as pathological liar.

It is more shameful to be a coward than a liar.

Eat my nutella from my slavic/jats/indo backside.

I'l spray lemonade from my banana all over your grave.

How about you prove your identity for us?

Post todays newspaper in Croatia

agaugust:
Stop insulting the morals of this thread and insulting the intelligence of all Africans with your false Croatian identity.

Stop derailing this thread with your criminal behaviour.

Augustine, even henery has told you to stop.

So stop

agaugust:

You South African claiming to be Croatian is lie + deception = Fraud & Dishonour

Stop de-railing this thread with senseless allegations.

agaugust:
For the sake of this thread, please feel free to post photos of Badger IFV and attach the following information confirmed by me on Denel's official Badger specs data brochure and defence-industry daily website.

Badger IFV has one low rate of fire 30mm cannon with 3 km maximum effective range and one 7.62mm light machine gun with 1 km maximum effective range. That is all it has as an IFV and costs $5 million per vehicle.

Please do not say it is the most modern in Africa as the Badger fails to meet NATO standard of a modern well equipped IFV, it has no anti-tank missiles and so 100 Badger IFVs will be destroyed by 1 T-72 tank in 2 hours. Just post Badger photos and don't add lies and deception to it. Thanks.

Photo : Badger IFV, always beautiful

Feel free to post the NATO IFV definition

Cam-gun is the most advanced gun of its type in the world, that is a fact.

Badger will take out the T72 with an Ingwe - i know this is hard for you to grasp but badgers fight as a group.

Where do you get 5 million from?

What lies have i told? I said it was the most advanced, i have proven so with citations.

You need to drop the topic and move on.

Isn't up-armouring for this sort of vehicle, a Police LAV, excessive?

Rather have the option than no option at all, right?

Anybody has an idea what the "spikes" on this vehicle armour are and how they improve the LAVs protection?

They are bolts/rivets

Either holding the armor on the frame or for up-armoring
