agaugust: Since you have confessed that there is no proof of who is who on internet, how do you keep insisting that the Augustine on beegeagles blog is the same person as auaugust on Nairaland, how did you confirm that, you have reliable proof?
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
Meanwhile, A-Darter missile of DENEL is ONLY 30% South African.
40% imported parts from Europe, the remaining 60% parts shared by Brazil and South Africa at 30% each.
A-Darter missile is proudly European-South African-Brazilian made product .
Augustine, is this the lengths you must go to in order to feel better about yourself?
You are now positing the claims of a man in an open forum as fact... and then making up more facts on the spot?
agaugust: [s]I am posting on AU-AMISOM ops in Somalia, how is that off topic on this African thread? You posted an American hip hop rap music video today showing music star Busta Rhymes, so you are the one on topic, right? Are you normal at all? Or you need special help?[/s]
That was a joke and also directly answered henrys question
Henry: Where is Egypt getting the money? Me: They getting Arab Money
Its a pretty simple joke, I am sorry it went over your head.
agaugust: [s]Denel has subsidiaries some of which are privately owned companies that have private individual shareholders, Matthys Jacons can won shares in those smaller companies that Denel acquired controlling shares in, and the joint business venture makes him an indirect shareholder in Denel, that is world standard company law of direct and indirect equity and the global law of minority interest shareholdings, which is too advanced commercial law that a South African brain cannot understand.
"LMT Holdings is a privately-owned engineering and manufacturing company established in 1999. It adds to the Denel Group a capacity for mine-protected vehicles, hulls and cabs as well as product testing, simulations, maintenance and support of products."
LOL, same Matthys guy that ALL you Southies were praising here for speaking military facts against Augustine on Angolan Su-30 jets Vs SAAF Gripens, now you ALL call him a liar because he said A-Darter has 40% imported foreign manufactured components, he is now fake military analyst, a liar, and a bad South African
....the guy claims to be an SANDF officer who meets pilots of other African air forces in their homeland air force bases, yo need to prove he works in a bank, HSBC bank.
"Matthys Jacobs • 7 months ago
I've actually visited both countries and I've seen their aircraft as well and met some of their pilots.
They do have some capable pilots however they still make use of Ukrainian and Russia Pilots for various reasons.
In theory they are the only two sub Saharan African countries that have engaged in BVR aerial combat. However it's moot as to whether they continued their training after the war ended. Ethiopia perhaps but Eritrea much like Angola failed to work on the momentum it had."
agaugust: [s]He said he is an SANDF officer and a DENEL shareholder, you disagree because you know him more than he knows himself, so it's up to you to prove him wrong and show us proof that he works in a bank as you claim....you make the claims against him, you need to prove him wrong or you remain silent for ever with no proof. Liar ![/s]
Anyone can claim to be anything on the internet.
If you want to assert his credentials you need to prove them.
Until then his post is nothing more than a comment on an open comment section. I have more followers than him on Disquss... does that make my comments more factual?
The Augustine on Beegugugs blog said he is a military researcher... he also said SAN could sink the Nigerian Navy with one sub... so that is fact to?
Go sit in the corner and think about what you have just done you blithering 1diot
agaugust: Patches this is the second time you are launching unprovoked attacks on my comments and on me today, and I have refrained from replying.
If I start replying now, this thread will me derailed and you will start saying you did not start it.
[size=16pt]@everybody, I think you can all see what Patches has started again today provoking me without any good reason, you wanna let him ruin this thread? I could retaliate on him and this thread gets messed up again, the South Africans always start the mess and at the end they deny.
What kind of people are these people? See below, the kind of cartoon images he is sending as reply to my comments that are not directed at him. Could you please caution him to leave me alone?[/size]
This thread is not your personal blog, stop making long verbal posts
agaugust: denisfhida, africaken, gottfried and any other commentor here that has contact with military leaders of AU, ANISOM, please pass this message to them in a humble and patriotic Pan-African spirit.
➡ ANISOM will find it hard to defeat El-Shabbab unless it can cut off the insurgents supply chain of weapons and ammunitions, fuel, food and medicines. They will keep on rearming and recruiting to replace attrition loses. UN used this logistics cut off tactics to defeat M23 in Congo DRC, by the time FIB troops arrived to fight, M23 was already dried up of supplies and 80% dead.
El-Shabab has too much access to the ocean on the east and that is the only possible source of their supplies, Ethiopia and Eritrea already land locked them from the west. ANISOM will need the multinational anti-piracy force in the gulf of Aden to hundred IPVs to cut of sea supply routes that replenish El-Shabbab with materials for war.
Alternative is land and air based shoreline complete blockade of the entire Somali coastline.
➡ ANISOM needs at least a 5,000 man special forces brigade trained for anti Islamic-terrorism by expert trainers with right and modern training doctrine and training facilities. Backed up with modern light infantry weapons including light vehicle mobile long range spy/observation hardware and long range man portable infantry night vision equipment. Add high calibre light infantry firepower weapons. The brigade can deploy as half battalion sizes in 15 locations all over Somalia, very mobile strike and move on force, 'CONVENTIONAL ARMY GUERRILLAS'.
➡ ANISOM needs face to face experience sharing with Algeria and Nigeria on fighting Islamic terrorism on land and from the air. Sri Lanka can advice on how to deal with the sea borne supply routes.
➡ ANISOM needs the art of battle field craft, base or FOB defence tactics, they must go back to the basics on that and stop surprise attacks on bases especially night attacks on FOBs that are far from reinforcements.
➡ ANISOM must step up firepower on its tactical or light combat vehicles, main armament should be 14.5mm x 1 and 23mm x 1 single barrel guns of Soviet era available so cheap in Russia and other ex-Soviet states. Add 40mm automatic grenade launchers. Then go get the new M3 Carl Gustav 1.7 km range 'anti-terrorist' man portable recoilless LAW that is cheap and affordable in large numbers, every 80 man big size platoon should have one launcher.
➡ ANISOM needs two dozens of light Scout armed helicopters like the cheap Gazelle specially dedicated for the SF brigade of 5,000 men and maybe another two dozens for regular infantry too. Cheap and readily available air mobility for small strike units.
➡ ANISOM should ask Nigeria and Algeria to deploy permanently to ANISOM, a battle tested colonel or general rank each, who have spent at least 5 years in their own countries' wars on Islamic terrorism, as special advisers and observers under ANISOM commander in chief. Africans need to pull all resources and skills together to win this war.
➡ ANISOM should use any 'idle' troops trainers to train more and more Somalian army infantry. Then the ANISOM's 5,000 newly trained anti-terrorism special forces brigade should include 1,000 of the best current Somalian infantry men, loyal, tested, trusted, not moles sympathetic to El Shabbab.
20,000 troops fighting El-Shabbab for so many years is too long a war and a drain on AU resources. We gotta win this war 2016-2017, or at least degrade El-Shabbab to current Boko Haram level of technical military 'fall back position'.
My little contribution to ANISOM efforts and service.
gottfried21: Indeed for sure we're in the process of Ordering Chinese MBT3000(Not sure how many units) Dornier Do-28 for Maritime Surveillance Also expressed Interest in Barosso Class Corvette(Again the Brazilians) Oryx Helicopter(X2 for use by the President and high ranking officials) and then a much larger order later on this year And we're definitely replacing our F-7's(But it's still between the Gripen and the J-10) And that's pretty much it... 20 MK3 units on the assembly line at MK3(Not sure they're for us though)
MBT3000 is an exellent platform... it caused the Russians to freak out and order a mass upgrade of their T90's to a new standard of T90AM
agaugust: Notice all those NAF pilots are so young like aged 21 to 28 years, a NAF officer told me that at age 28 years old, many NAF pilots already have 5 years combat experience and that the new NAF JF-17 Thunder pilots team will include a young team of elite pilots called THE TIGERS, he refused to gives any names and say how many are these elite TIGERS. Who are these secret pilots and what makes them superior to older pilots who have flown Alpha jets for 15 years ?
If you are going to have discussions on this thread at least post content
Thanks
Blast from the past edition! 1. Rhodesians 2. MPLA 3. Portuguese 4. SADF paratroopers after Cassigna (compare their early war equipment to the gear they had just 2 years later)
agaugust: [s] I post sources for my claims more than anybody on this thread, go check my posts. I dont make false claims like Southies do.
"The A-Darter now uses 40% foreign parts so it increases not only the costs but also the vulnerabilities at winning orders with countries with bad relations to countries like the US, UK and other EU countries."
The above is a readers comment from a very regular and respected military commentator on defenceweb, he is known to be an SANDF officer and a shareholder in Denel.
Milzikazi is one of the worst South Africans on this thread with lies, open denial of proven facts, while Patches engages in deliberate mis-information on a daily basis. Fighter Pilot makes totally stüpïd comments that makes no sense.
These same South Africans misled you last two weeks with an outdated May 2015 report that NAF has only 7 operational aircraft in total, yet you were quick to believe it and post a ridicule of NAF based on that story because it suits your purpose. I replied with an up to date official NAF report of August 2015 stating that almost the entire NAF fleet of about 100 North East combat sortie aircraft went on sheduled maintenance during the May to July 2015 period after flying thousands of combat sorties non-stop from January to April 2015, and now all the aircraft are back in flying combat operations having completed their scheduled maintenance.
Yet with all the evidences posted from NAF HQ, your fellow South Africans continue to post here EVERYDAY repeatedly that NAF has only 7 operational aircraft, even despite a new NAF 2016 video now released to the public showing that contrary to the May 2015 report, F-7 jets, Agusta helos, drones, etc are all in operation at war. Yet your fellow South Africans keep posting comments on this thread daily that NAF has only 7 operational aircraft and that is made up of just 3 Alpha jets, no F-7 jets, no L-39 jets, no Puma, no Agusta, no ATR-42, etc.
Yesterday you responded with ridicule on Nigeria to a comment by South African Mzilikazi that South African mercenary pilots were training NAF pilots to fly F-7 jets, Alpha jets, ATR-42 Surveyor aircraft, you were supporting his comment by making ridicules through it, is that a healthy comment? Is that claim true? It is realistic? Is it proven with facts?
Yet you come here the next day and act like a saint and the most decent/responsible man on this thread/forum....you are a 100% hypocrite Saengine.
How does that make a healthy and educative debate on this forum? You deliberately turn a blind eye to the mess and lies your South African friends tell on this forum, and keep making hypocritical comments that Nigerians post false comments that made you stop commenting on this thread.
Fool, liar, hypocrite, that is what you are Saengine.
Me, I am going to begin ignoring this forum gradually until sanity returns, I dont want to invest and waste much time on a forum where healthy and constructive debate cannot be done simply because South Africans national ego that was overblown has been bursted with facts and figures that make you guys realise you live in a world of self delusion and hidden secrets of a rotten military force which has declined to the level of Cuba training SANDF and SAAF, your Zulu/Xhosa/Bantu led ANC government has quenched the glory of apartheid era when South Africa was an all round great nation that was feared and respected worldwide for near European standards in everthing[/s] .
1. Did you really just quote a mans opinion from the comments section as fact? He is not known to be an SANDF officer and he is not known to be a Denel shareholder... I should know, he is one of my followers on Disquss. He is involved in finance with one of the big banks (HSBC I believe).
Whats next? you going to quote the comments section on beegugugugs blog as fact?
2. Your source does not say all 100 are operational - it says that they flew X many sorties which ammounts to just under 2 sorties per day for your 7 assets. Simple arthimatic shows you only have 7 operational platforms, and your Military Officers confirm it
agaugust: I am smarter than global firepower, why should I consult a source that ranks Niger Republique as more powerful militarily than Sudan, when that Niger Republic has ONLY 2 Frogfoot jets and 2 Hind helicopters, BUT no interceptor jet, no tanks, no SAM systems, no defense industry, no IFV, no missiles, no artillery, and a tiny army of about 5,000 men with near ZERO real war experience.
Reason why you are a waste and a liability on the photo thread....you will openly support wrong information when you clearly know it is wrong, you do not care about misleading innocent readers as long as you suit your own personal purpose. You are not a commentator to be trusted and relied on with your posts on any thread anywhere in this world. You post more than me on the photo thread, yes you post a lot of talk more than pictures, and you post A LOT OF AMERICAN, EUROPEAN, ASIAN photos and videos on an AFRICAN THREAD.....what a big derailing and unfocused fool you are at your adult age .
You are smarter than global firepower? So what is wrong with the equation they use?
Really? quote where i have posted western or eastern gear.
Fact is, you are persona-non-grata on the other thread
agaugust: 1. I have posted the year 2006-2010 various sized 300 vessels procurement here many times repeatedly, including those from Australia, Vietnam, Singapore shipyards. How many times will I repeat it, you think I am a jobless man with no use for my time? You think I get paid salary on Nairaland time spent posting comments?
2. The major ships list is available on Navy website.
3. I posted yesterday the 2016 brand new 100 vessels purchase, so that completes all needed proofs.
Dude, stop killing this thread like you almost killed the photo thread with foolish comments and demands for citations to be repeated for you again and again....like yõu have brain disease and mental cognitive disorder? .
agaugust: The navy report about 50% non operational includes ALL small boats, and the NN was emphasizing on patroling in that report, so IPVs are included.
Yõu just shöt yourself in the testicles
No, you have yet to prove that you have "400" boats or vessels.
I have asked many times, and many times you avoid the question.
agaugust: Show us what factors make Nigér Republiqùe more powerful than Sudan in military might. Show us how you and global firepower are correct, that is how you almost ruined the other thread arguing that SF and SOF are not the same thing worldwide apart from in USA.
Anywhere South African appear, people get fed with wrong information and you do it deliberately, that is the type of citizens South Africa produces, no wonder Somalis are ranked better brains than Southies.
Consult global firepower and see for yourself.
You were the one who was arguing on the other thread, not me. You are the one whos comments derail the other thread not mine. I post more frequently on that other thread than you, I post more content on the other thread than you do and I have never once derailed it - have you ever noticed that apart from Henry none of the members on the other thread ever respond to you? There is a reason for that.
You are now nothing more than a troll augbug, and the worst part is that you dont know it.
