[s]When you South-Africans get butt-hurt, you stay throwing little silly comments about jealousy.

Deal with it, the SAAF is a turd of an excuse for a service.

You have neither provided any evidence or citation to prove that the SAAF has more than 9 Gripen, qualified pilots. None!

I'm not been imaginative, the facts are well documented. The SAAF has a pilot shortage, go cry to Pretoria not on nairaland.


Truly, there actually is nothing to be jealous of the SAAF. Your A109s are mostly grounded than in the air, you fly world war II aircraft for MP duties, you have a Gripen pilot shortage, at-least 12 Gripens are always in storage( or what ever the name you currently have for it), your half-french Helicopter is obsolete, you cannot afford aviation fuel, you SAAF is broke, the SAAF only has 3 operational C-130s, experienced pilots have quit the service because of forced quota, the SAAF is pitifully inexperienced, the SAAF demands it's dead pilot pay for his service flight suit.

The South-African Air force is a joke!!

[/s]

In transport the NAF is ahead,
Surveillance we are ahead,
Combat experience we are ahead,
Operational use, we are ahead,
Congrats you have a 4 GEN fighter, but it's a fighter without BVR capabilities, so it's fight with NAF's 3.5GEN F-7 is even,
And we sure well do not demand families of dead pilots killed in service to pay for flight suits.


Egypt, Algeria and Nigeria are light years ahead of the SAAF.
In transport NAF is ahead?

SAAF: 9 C130's (5 operational at ant one time)
NAF: 3 C-130's

Surveilance?

Uhhh... Gripen, Hawk and Cessna

Agains... 2 ATR's?

Combat experience:

SAAF - has operated in a contested airspace, has fought against enemy aircraft
NAF - has done no such thing

Operational use: - define what the hell you are talking about here.

If you think the difference between a 4th gen and a 3rd gen is in BVR then you are an utter buffoon.

NAF has never been, nor ever will be, on the same level as the SAAF.

Simple fact.

[s]NAF has it's edge over Algerian and Egyptian air forces. SAAF is no comparison.

Algerian air force has far far far far less combat experience compared to Nigeria.

Egyptian air force last fought a war over 40 years ago. Current pilots have ZERO experience.

Nigerian air force has flown 6,000 combat sorties in 6 months and fought wars overseas and at home consistently for the past 25 years.

NAF ISTAR beats everybody in Africa by far.

An air force is more than just having more or better jet fighters, there are different kinds of combat air forces are required to be capable of fighting, and constant experience of war is an edge.

NAF is desired by Egypt, they did not even act as if SAAF exists, the Egyptians don't want to be associated with a ZERO tested air force, SAAF[/s]
.
Experience doesnt mean sh1t when you are trying to compare to more advanced and better trained airforces.

NAF is nowhere near the level of the SAAF

[s]Buhahahahahahahahahaha........ That's exactly the problem why they have Pilot shortages, and funnily, it isn't even a mock.


They run a 75% - 25% quota system in their Airforce. The Zulu dullards have been incapable of filling their quotas, while most experienced and qualified white officers have left the service to take up jobs overseas or in the Private sector, and the ones who remain and are actually qualified are sent to Helicopter squadrouns.[/s]

I will gladly post proof of ATR-42 radar range 407 km, just that I need you to admit that South Africa needs the help of a Nigerian military researcher to rescue you Southies from the trap of Sea Spray radar in which you have locked yourselves like a mouse in a trap.

Simple.

For Gripen ground search radar range, ask your fellow South African @Milizikazi where he got his 70 km range from, I agree he is right approx[/s]

Have you provided a scrap of evidence that you have more than 9?

The onus is on you to prove that South-Africa has more than the aforementioned number, 9.


With dullards like @Fighterpilot in the SAAF, you be delusional to believe you have more than 9?
We have provided evidence that we have 18 aircrew and 52 Hawks pilots (trainees) in 2013

We have provided evidence that at any one time 12 Gripen are operational - in 2013

The obvious conclusion is, 2 years ago, in 2013 we had 12 Gripen pilots.

Now, you are making the assertion that we have only 9 pilots - prove it

[s]I think the SAAF Gripen pilot shortage has to do with lack of capable brains to train, and learn how to fly a 4th generation jet, the white officers have left SANDF and the air force is worst hit by the exit of white SAAF men, the Zulus are born to throw spears around, their brains CANNOT pass a Gripen pilot qualifying exam.

Same kind of problem the Saudis have with Eurfighter Typhoons and they want a less complex jet that their oil filled lazy brains can fly.

The South Africans are even worse, they cannot fly a light jet like the Gripen, Zulu/Xhosa brain is duller than Arab brains, Zulu/Bantu brains are 2nd bottom of the world intelligence ladder, it cannot understand how to fly a 4th generation jet fighter.

They should have bought MiG-21 upgrades from Eastern Europe and upgrade them with Israeli help, Zulu pilots can fly those types easily[/s]

You cant even find enough pilots for your F-7's!!

How can NAF fly a jet it does not have in 2009 ? F-7 jet arrived in 2010, your source about grounded jets was a 2009 report cheesy cheesy

You see how all you South Africans have failed and failed and failed to prove that NAF F-7 jets have shortage of pilots, your 'proof' dates back to before the F-7 jets even entered service with NAF, or did the jets get grounded inside manufacturers factory in China during factory production?

See how you Southies have all trapped yourselves with your own argument.....telling lies does not pay cheesy cheesy

Poor maintenance is a theme in the Nigerian airforce

If it affects the rest of your fleet, it will be affecting the F-7's

"Just a simple citation for evidence that you have more than 9 Pilots has suddenly turned you into a philosophy professor?".
Feel free to provide evidence that you have more than 3 F-7 pilots

[size=14pt][s]Your source says 2009, but Nigeria did NOT have F-7 jet until 2010.

So how did NAF ground a jet they did not have and also suffered pilots shortage of the jet they did not have in 2009 ?

Poor maintenance is a trait in your military - henc why so many of your jets crash.

Prove that your F-7's are operational

Then prove you have enough pilots for them.

When SAAF grounded Augusta's for crashes, was it because of pilots shortage?

NAF NEVER grounded the F-7 after 2 crashes, instead, we called in the PAF for joint maintenance, then technology transfer for mantenance so that NAF engineers took over, then we started joint combat training with Pakistan and that means we began to fly randomly.

There is NO report that ever said NAF has pilot shortages for F-7, so you show me one !

A man who has never been to hospital does not need to be asked when he was discharged form sick bed.

NAF has NEVER had F-7 jet pilots shortages, and the jets were NEVER grounded.

SAAF has many reports in the news for Gripen jets pilots shortage and grounding of aircraft in frozen long term storage
.
As of 2009, most of its fleets were grounded and its training institutions were constrained with shortages of technical skills such as instructors and institutional facilities.

Evidently, the current budgetary allocations to the NAF cannot sustain effective and efficient aircraft maintenance activities. This is due to the constraints in spares acquisition. Lack of funding has been responsible for an inability to preserve aircraft regularly… Aircraft become due for Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) with time, and not by hours flown, because they are most of the time grounded for unserviceability. The reasons for unserviceability are usually traceable to lack of spares occasioned by insufficient funding.

Nope, the origin of our claim that SAAF has only 9 pilots is not based on photos of flying aircraft, it is based on a published news report. It was when you were denying the news report that we spoke of how many Gripens fly together.

i can bet my last cent that you don't even know what it is. just the word "Tactical" amuses you south africans.

If a data link standard in order to provide communication via
radio waves or cable used the military to transmit, relay and receive tactical data is not TDL,

then tell me what Nigerian Navy uses to transmit data from the ATR to navan vessels.

Or from naval control stations to naval vessels.

Or from combat areas in maiduguri to DHQ in Abuja

Or from our surveillance platforms to commanders on ground.

I can go on and on on instances it has been used.

You south Africans are just shouting TDL as if it's a technology beyond any nation's reach.

The real fraud is SANDF. No evidence of operational usage of data link. Just on paper

I hope this free education has helped you dumb he-goat.
You tell us, name your data-link.

altgough i doubt the story as reporters will want to make a meal of the whole incidence, what else would you expect.

arresting bashir would have sparked confrontations between both countries. militarily or diplomatic

and many african governments will be against SA on this one because it will amount to discrediting the AU.

your government still doesn't understand International politics
You dont understand what happened if you think it was our government that was trying to arrest him

It was the people of South Africa who wanted him arrested

The people (in this case an NGO of sorts) approached the courts in order to get an interdict against the government to prevent him leaving - an interdict that the courts awarded

The government was sitting on the fence - on the one hand the people his arrest - buoyed with a legally binding order to hold him and on the other the AU is fighting to have the ICC discredited.

What can you do in such a situation?

Fact remains, the people of South Africa have spoken: we will not tolerate war-criminals in our lands.
