We have picture and video of defeated SA soldiers raising the white flag.

There's enough video evidence showing SA soldiers celebrating with their captors and taking videos with them.

The SANDF is toast.!!!!

We have pictures and video of south African solders talking to M23 with there weapons still.

What prisoner still have there weapons.

kabe1:
I don't need to shit on South-Africa, your national news service has done a perfect job already!!!



The SANDF is a joke and with clowns like you in it, I can clearly see why.

I been civil and trying to talk to a embarsment of Human being. People like you are why south Africans hate nigerians by the way, you bring shame to your entier country. But i am not doing it for you. İ am doing the others who might read your stupidty

kabe1:
You're too dull!

A national news is any media that has significant representation/Presence across the federation.

With people like you in the SANDF, I see exactly why you only have 6 operational aircraft.

Stop attacking the South Africans. If they have only 6 military planes in operation, then maybe its because they are in a peaceful neighbourhood. I will trade Nigeria's turbulent neighbourhood for their peaceful one anytime anyday.

It is better to have a small military and a peaceful surrounding, than have a large military with a turbulent area.

Please forgive him because of the likes of us.

With Nigeria's many military hardwares, which I am not impressed with, by the way, we still haven't been able to put a stop to violence in within our country.

kabe1:
Doesn't change the fact you only have 6 operational aircrafts.

What a disaster of a military.

The truth now is: we have nothing on the SAns as we speak!

Our focus should not be on antagonizing the SAns, but to collaborate with them. We have a lot to learn from them when it comes to building very profitable businesses. They have proven to do better in that area than we have.
Also, we do not have any conflicting interests.

When everyone else refused to sell weapons to us, they did! How else can they prove they can be partners with us in progress?

don't worry I don't hate nigerians or think every nigerian is like him. I have met nigerians in real life and non where the steortypical gangster that people in south Africa think they all are. But it often only takes one person to ruin the reputation for an entire group of people.

kabe1:
There enough video evidence showing your soldiers raising the white flag and taking pictures with their captors in admiration.

The SANDF is a joke.

Both parties raised white flags to signal a cease fire while the politicians sort out their sh1t, did you see any M23 over run a SANDF base like BH haram does in your own country?

kabe1:
Debunked by whom, their's no evidence that you have more than 6 Operational aircrafts.

I mean you have helicopters grounded in the DRC.

The SANDF is a mess!

Debunked by several sources mate, there were more than 6 hawks at aad alone...

andrewza:
When they subersdized by the government is there Profit even real?

I never said there SOEs where not the biggest. One of the largest south African companies is a SOE. China has large non SOE companies that make a lot of money

Example Tencent is one of the worlds largest multi media company thst focus on video games. İt is massive. İt is chinness and a publicaly traded company. So yeah China is not Marxist in any form.

If an SOE runs properly like any company government doesn't have to subsidize it...even in a Marxist country...or should i say especially in a Marxist country

I saw a post on Facebook about the wait times for US visas for certain African countries. Did not believe it; the times were too ridiculous and there was no source.
Just had a look on the US State Dept site: the reality is worse! They have no shame.

Grave risks for Cameroon as soldiers desert to fight in Ukraine

Cameroon faces a multitude of security threats and cannot afford to lose its soldiers to the Russia-Ukraine war.

The desertion of soldiers to fight in Ukraine weakens the operational capacity of several African militaries and the stability of the affected countries. Cameroon’s government recently highlighted the trend which, although not new, has intensified since Russia invaded Ukraine.

A 7 March statement by Cameroon’s Defence Minister Joseph Beti Assomo sheds light on the ‘illicit involvement’ of the country’s troops in the Ukraine war. A minority of deserters are ‘foreign volunteers’ who fight for Ukraine, while most are ‘[Vladimir] Putin’s Tirailleurs’ (riflemen) who have signed up with Russia.

While no official statistics exist on desertion rates, the situation is concerning for a country grappling with threats from Boko Haram in the north, Central African Republic rebels in the east, maritime piracy along the coast, and the Anglophone crisis in the west.

Cameroon’s desertions started in the late 2010s when many elite unit soldiers began leaving for Dubai, lured by lucrative offers to protect wealthy Emiratis.

In 2018, indications were that between 300 and 800 soldiers had deserted. By 2020, the media reported that 637 soldiers faced dismissal due to desertion. In response, the defence minister temporarily suspended overseas missions for the military. The Ukraine conflict presents another opportunity for Cameroonian soldiers seeking better prospects.

What distinguishes this wave of desertions is that soldiers are leaving to join a high-intensity warzone

What distinguishes this wave of desertions is that soldiers are abandoning their posts to join a high-intensity warzone. Using local networks of recruiters, Russia has attracted numerous Cameroonian soldiers. Some, interviewed by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), reported monthly salaries of XAF 1.2 million (US$1 976) to XAF 1.5 million (US$2 479), with specialists receiving at least XAF 2 million (US$3 294).

These figures align with British military intelligence reports, which note a US$2 000 sign-on bonus, a US$2 200 monthly salary, and the promise of a Russian passport. Various sources mentioned life insurance for families in the event of a soldier’s death during operations.

These desertions are an unexpected consequence of the professionalisation of Cameroon’s army, a process initiated by a series of decrees in 2001. With the shift from conscription to a professional army, soldiers no longer serve out of pure devotion to their country. Instead, they see their military role as a livelihood, as described by renowned French sociologist and philosopher Augustin Hamon.

This has transformed the Cameroonian military into a skilled workforce. Soldiers possess valuable technical knowledge and a strong reputation built on their experience in combatting terrorism, maritime piracy and other emerging security threats.

The desertions are an unexpected consequence of the professionalisation of Cameroon’s army

Professionalising the military means Cameroonian soldiers no longer need to pursue a lifelong career in the armed forces. Contracts now last three years for enlisted personnel and 10 years for officers. However, most soldiers are automatically re-enlisted. Many are unaware of these regulations, a senior Cameroonian army officer told ISS.

Desertions – especially to the Russia-Ukraine war – can also be financially motivated. The salary gap between Russian and Cameroonian soldiers (and those in Africa more generally) can be huge. A second-class Cameroonian private’s basic monthly salary is XAF 51 880 (US$85) after the first two years of service. When deployed in active zones, soldiers receive an additional monthly risk and food allowance of XAF 90 000 (US$148).

Yet Russia, for example, offers the equivalent of at least US$2 000 monthly for those deployed on the front line. One officer interviewed by ISS described these offers as a ‘golden suffering.’

Aside from financial issues, soldiers have expressed concerns about their heavy workload in Cameroon. Military duties have become increasingly perilous, characterised by heightened exposure to danger and a surge in commitments. Many new recruits are reconsidering their options amid these pressures.

Desertions by Cameroonian soldiers to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war reflect the broader ‘brain drain’ affecting the country, with numerous healthcare workers and teachers also seeking opportunities abroad.

Between January and May 2024, the International Organization for Migration recorded 7 448 Cameroonian regular migrants, of whom 6 099 went to Canada and 971 to the United Kingdom. This has become a concern for the Cameroonian Employers Council and President Paul Biya.

The exodus worsens the Cameroonian army’s recruitment struggles. As its military commitments increase, the army faces an alarming desertion rate among new recruits. Such departures weaken its operational capacity and disrupt unit coherence, leading to a loss of expertise and interpersonal skills. Some key figures in units have left, battalion commanders told ISS.

Tackling the sensitive issue of salary increases in a country where soldiers earn more than civilians is crucial

What troubles Cameroonian authorities most is the fate of deserting soldiers. While some officers speculate about the possibility of a future Russian Africa Corps composed of black soldiers, others worry about the risk associated with the return of deserters. Having gained combat experience in Ukraine, they could use their operational skills and high-intensity combat abilities against Cameroon’s security interests.

To address the problem, Cameroon’s Defence Minister has called for stricter oversight of defence and security personnel. This includes taking appropriate action against deserters, including dismissal from service and prosecution. Regulations for military personnel wishing to leave the country have also been tightened; they must now seek authorisation directly from the minister.

Beyond these immediate measures, Cameroon’s army should adopt a loyalty strategy to increase the tenure of essential and specialised soldiers. Greater emphasis should also be placed on helping soldiers transition to second careers.

Simultaneously, the Army Chief of Staff ought to create better conditions to alleviate the pressure on the front lines in the country’s Far North, East, coastal and Anglophone regions. Despite advancements, troop rotations in these areas remain insufficient for certain units.

It is also crucial to tackle the sensitive issue of salary increases in a country where military personnel already earn more than civilians. This could involve enhancing compensation packages and properly implementing the beneficial measures announced by the president during the army’s 50th anniversary. These included emergency housing for active soldiers and enhanced medical care provisions.

The largest drone manufacturing facility in Africa BriechUAS was unveiled in Abuja yesterday.

More pictures

Lurker4Long:

Not everything Trump does is bad or stupid. These are reciprocal tariffs in response to actions by other countries, some of which are downright silly.

For example, Nigeria. If you try to ship a vehicle from the US to Nigeria, you end up paying tariffs almost the worth of the vehicle before it is cleared from the ports. These costs are passed on to whoever is paying for the vehicle. Some countries have just made it a thing to place ridiculous taxes on Western goods just for the purpose of making money for corrupt government officials.

Considering that US trade with Nigeria, besides oil products, is mostly vehicles, it is not out of place for US to pressure Nigeria to reduce those useless taxes and duties. It would lead to instant benefits for the two countries. Prices of cars in Nigeria will drop, potentially up to 50%, and US vehicle exporters will sell more cars to Nigeria. Majority of Nigerians would like to buy their cars 30-50% cheaper.

The tariffs may not work, but there's a genuine purpose behind them.

In Nigeria, yes, but in Africa? mmmh, I don't know.

Below is Milkor's drone manufacturing facility in Cape Town.

You are a useless disgrace if you are actually a nigerian. Which i doubt.

Your snivelling, grovelling, ass kissing of your gay south african masters is nauseating.

Nope.

Your Milkor drone facility is only 5,000 square meters.

Breich UAS is almost times three of that at 15,400 square meters.

So Nigeria does have the largest drone manufacturing facility in Africa!!!

The patriotic Nigerian is the one who knows the truth about Nigeria's capability and is ok with it while encouraging the country to improve in areas where it needs to improve. Such a person, which I am, would not like to see Nigeria better than anyone else, except its former self.

South Africa has more defence experience than we have. They also have better drone manufacturing capability than we do.

The Breich you posted, will be our first attempt, apart from the Gulma and the Amebo prototypes we made, to go into the market.

Terrahapix Nigeria has already started exporting it's UAVs so breich will likely be second

Proforce Defence, EPAIL, Terrahapix and BriechUAS all make drones.

Amebo and Gulma are not the only drones that have been built in Nigeria.

The unveiling of Nigeria largest drone facility
