The South African Air Force has collapsed

The SANDF has been declared sitting ducks. Urgent Presidential intervention needed.

Again the Covert has been validated.
We do our home work. It is no secret.

and here we go again

I hope nobody falls for it.

A free fall on all sides. In fact some SANDF establishments have had their electricity cut for lack of funds. If President Ramaphosa arguably the most pragmatic of all their ANC presidents so far will do nothing then this obsolete trend of the SANDF is irreversible except the DA comes to power in Pretoria. It's a shame what has become of the SANDF and how they come up in Africa's top ten must be by some form of voodoo magic. An Air Force that flies only 5,000 hours a year can not be taken seriously. In fact Tanzania has a more robust military and should make that list. No one talks of Ethiopia anymore because the war there has exposed their underbelly something objective observers knew all along. Equipment holdings alone does not suffice. Something I have articulated for years. Rwanda is an example of men over machines.

Augustine, you're still obsessed with the SANDF. In 2013 you were a 40-year-old virgin, this year you would be 49 - right?

Get a life, get a wife, taste the breast of a woman and move on.

Why, why respond?

Rather to the contrary. Highlighting the free fall of the SANDF serves to alert critical military thinkers and policy makers of the need to reverse the trend else the balance of power in the region is negatively affected and exploited by rogue states and non-state actors as we see in Mozambique. If the terrorists there get the level of funding and men ISWAP has got in the LCB and the Sahel you bet their eyes will be on the big price SA and in the current condition the SANDF will collapse in the face of an onslaught by rampaging islamafascists terrorists.

We in Nigeria accepted our short comings and worked extensively to reverse it. For years we were pilloried by the Southies even if we had the commensurate strength but we admitted the lack of capacity and requisite capabilities for CT/COIN that needed to be acquired hence we invested heavily such as doling out half a billion dollars for 4th Gen. dedicated CT/COIN Super Tucano Aircrafts. The Nigerian military was essentially a conventional army designed to close with, engage and destroy the enemy and more broadly to conquer and capture capitals of nation states but not for a jihadi war. It took years but we are now reaping the results of investment in CT/COIN assets and training and also extended those investments to more robust conventional capabilities.

So the BHT war became a blessing in disguise. But first we had to sound the alarm that something needed to be done. This is what Southies here blinded by patriotism should do not gallivant to the gallery when their house is on fire. Essentially we no longer have a viable defence partner down South. Nigeria cannot throw its military power around everywhere you need defence partners. It will take 5 to 10 years for the SANDF to modestly baulk up capabilities again at this rate of free fall.

Behold the 21st Century NAF Inset. This is serious firepower and no one these parts comes even close. The evidence is here.

NAF A-29 Super Tucanos & Uncle Sam At Kainji

US Ambassador to Nigeria Mary Beth Leonard and Brigadier General Thomas Tickner visited 407 Air Combat Training group Kainji (ACTG) for the ground breaking of the final phase of the $38 million construction project for the A-29 Super Tucanos’ support facilities.

The site will house several critical facilities including sunshades for the the A-29 Super Tucanos, munitions assembly and storage areas, and an annex for the A-29 flight simulator. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) North Atlantic Division is overseeing the construction.
