AugustineAgain: [s]Show me where UN laws of war says it's babaric to kill an enemy with a military Bayonet knife. In war of the Bible days don't they use swords to cut off the head of an enemy in war?
SANDF killed no Seleka until you show us proof, all we see are 15 dead SANDF elite troops, so only SANDF troops died in Bangui.[/s]
AugustineAgain: Every vehicle starts with prototype, Nyala or Mamba MRAP all began with prototype.
The Nigerian MRAP has passed computer image stage, it's under construction, see it behind our army engineers on inspection tour of Proforce, proudly made in Nigeria ARA MRAP....we will soon overtake South Africa in armoured vehicle production and sales like we did with GDP !
All Proforce products meet international standards, tested and confirmed ! .
How can they be tested and confirmed if all you have is computer model?
agaugust: [s]AMANI tactics is a 1970s archaic battle space setting common to SANDF, old doctrine you have failed to modernize, your training is outdated, reason why Cuba and Russia are now training you dummies
AMANI order of battle and field formation is like a tennis match, two players line up like dummies on opposite side of a net, start shooting balls into each others side of the dividing net hoping to score points.
See Nigerian army training and show me how SANDF can match this level ![/s]
So you are saying that you will never have to attack an enemy position where they will stand an fight?
How were these tactics so successfull in Angola and why wont they work now?
Augutus, you need to come down to reality: Russians/Cubans are not training us in tactics and doctrine - it is NIGERIAN SOLDIERS being trained by South Africans and Russians in tactics and doctrine, you are the dummies you clown!
Stop posting tactical small unit training - and yes we can match your level, and much more advanced!
agaugust: [s]Snail pace? Nigerian Proforce produces 40 vehicles per month in that factory, how much does does one South African company produce monthly?
Envy is eating you up as we will soon overtake you like we did with GDP.
Meanwhile, show us South African armoured vehicle factory where you people say robots are working for you like Japan, show photo proofs ![/s] .
Show us a Nigerian vehicle that is worth caring about and we will start discussing it with you
agaugust: Show us PROOF that ALL South African military platforms are integrated on this tactical datalink.
[s]Stop lying to us, same way you guys said SAN has Super Lynx ASW helicopters armed with sonar and torpedoes, only for us to discover later that you have only search and rescue Super Lynx with ZERO sonar or torpedoes...liars ! [/s] Every army in this world communicates perfectly without military-wide datalink, they do not have to use exactly the same methods as SANDF.
Can you show us airborne battlefield command and control capability in South African military ? .
1. We have shown you proof many times 2. Who says we are lying? 3. Data-link is what modern armies use, it changes the nature of warfare completely - info-centric warfare 4. Yes we do
Stop trying to cover up for your failures and your militarys lack of proper equipment
agaugust: Military wide datalink is NOT compulsory for every country, how many countries in the world have it, and how many have won a war with it?
SANDF has military wide datalink and Chaka C2 yet your army and air force combined have failed to secure your fatherland's borders from invading arms smugglers from Zimbabwe, foreign assassins from Rwanda, Rhino poachers from Mozambique..... so tell us what your army has achieved with tactical military-wide datalink and Chaka C2 combat management systems since all these years of SANDF failure on homeland sail in simple operations against weak targets .
1. Yes, it is compulsory for Network Centric warfare 2. Who says we have failed to secure our borders? Do you want to see the statistics again? And as usual I must remind you that AP duties are not those of the SANDF (according to your own sources)
Now, stop dodging questions and deal with the allegations I have leveled: 1. No, you dont have a military wide datalink 2. No, you dont have military wide intergration of a combat managment system 3. No, you dont have a combat managment system at all.
agaugust: It's a big lie, LIST FOR US the so called imaginary 100 defence companies in South Africa, I am sure many of them are security guard companies providing guard services to your crime and murder ridden society.
90% of hi-tech South African defence industry is owned by Europe, your technological independence is has not yet come.
LIST FOR US all South African defence companions and state which are foreign owned and foreign started
agaugust: Give us technical proof that it is low grade.
Proforce Nigeria produces world class military armoured vehicles comparable to world standards, tested and proven ballistic capabilities....our LAV products are superior to some American LAV of same class, we make better quality....better than even South Africa.
"“The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Olusegun Aganga, has been there; governors have been there and so many eminent people and they realised that the quality of our products vis-à-vis the quality of vehicles from Dubai and from the US are far better."
agaugust: I would say Proforce did not make an error, their own APC has different windows and lights compared to the Cobra, and btwn Russia is doing the same thing with their BPM-97 APC.....http://www.army-technology.com/projects/bpm-97-apc/
agaugust: [s]Proforce is posting a photo of their own look-alike of the Cobra under development, the windows and lights are different, true they used a Cobra photo as layout, but no big deal in that.
No copyright issue, the design is not peculiar to Turkey, as Russia has a similar APC design looking like a Cobra.
Proforce Nigeria is right with that design, or you wanna arrest Russia first for a simple common sense design of BPM-97 APC?
You Southies just wanna accuse Nigeria's 100% owned and fast growing defence industry just because we finally exposed the European ownership of 90% of South African defence industry.
#WRECKED SOUTH AFRICAN ENVY LOADED ARGUMENT.[/s]
1. You posted a picture of a Cobra - which is not built or designed in Nigeria. End of story 2. You cannot in any way compare your pathetic defence industry to ours 3. You have yet to prove your "90% foreign owned" allegation
As usual augubug tries desperatly to shift the goal posts... and as usual he fails to score a goal
agaugust: You posted a whole air force control room of many kinds of equipment that has NOTHING to do with Chaka c2.
The main purpose of Chaka C2 that we are debating about is AMANI II armies exercise of the AU, did you put a whole air force control room including air traffic control equipment into one MRAP and carried it to the battlefield?
The Chaka C2 in question is the brigade level vehicle mobile unit used for AMANI exercise.....
1. Airforce controll room is intergrated into it
2. Yes, considering that part of the exercise was the co-ordination of a continent wide strategic airlift
3. No, Chaka is intergated at lower levels and not only brigade level
agaugust: Chaka C2 is for your army, you are posting air force control room equipment.
See what your army Chaka C2 looks like when deployed on the battle field....
1. Airforce is intergrated into the system as is the Army and Navy - all platforms are intergrated 2. That picture is highly impressive, it shows a mobile Ratel command post that has been intergrated - can you show us such a thing in your army?
agaugust: LOL....I thought the Chaka C2 was like a nuclear weapons command and control room in USA
So na just 2 laptop computers and one telecoms router
Is that what they say Nigerian army Generals are coming to learn? Have they seen Nigerian army generals doing C2 with the massive network of computers on Nigerian ATR-42 Surveyor and Beechcraft 350ER ? Nothing is SANDF can match our C2 equipment and battlefield surveillance, command and control capabilities, Nigeria leads the whole of Africa in that area of war capability and advanced technology.
1. No, you dont have a military wide datalink 2. No, you dont have military wide intergration of a combat managment system 3. No, you dont have a combat managment system at all.
If you wish to prove otherwise, provide citations.
iblawi: The number of people that died in South Africa yearly from crime and road accident is more than double the total number of people Boko Haram have killed in the last six years.
A country where at least 50 people die a day from crime and 1000 people die monthly from raid accident.
50*30 = 1500 + 1000 = 2500
2500 people die in South Africa monthly from crime and road accident alone. MINUS THE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS POACHERS KILL DAILY.
