It is a good thing that Botswana, Namibia and
Zimbabwe do not seem to have any territorial
ambitions, because if they chose to annex a few
South African provinces, the defence force would
be hard-pressed to stop them, especially if
Lesotho decided to get into the action.

One minute google searches dispute 90% of South African comments, so easy
.

Let's see Google dispute at least 90% of these (valid) claims:

- The SANDF ranks above the NAF
- The SAAF is better equipped, more experienced than the NA
- The SAN is better equipment, better trained and more experienced than the NN
- The South African Special Forces are better trained, better recognised than the Nigerian Special Forces
- South Africa has the most advanced homegrown weapons in Africa


Google me facts to counter my facts and paste links.... if not, I will haunt you with this list till the end of 2014.

Giving something a flashy name doesnt mean it is what you call it

There is nothing flashy in those names, they are simply categorised into their different groupings, something you were obviously not taught in school.

Why would we go back in to CAR?

What is the purpose?


No one expected your cowardly troops to go back to the CAR, and like the cowards you are, you prove the world right.


Look at the silly question the dummy is asking, what are FOMAC and French troops doing there then?

You were unhappy. Russia did "the needful" in Crimea. You failed to cause you don't have what it takes.

If robbing other counties of their legally proved land is your own idea of national greatness, sorry Nigeria is not a robber, there are honest ways to be great.

Stealing is pride in South Africa, no wonder your SANDF was robbing Congolese diamond mines with joy and glee

A large and long overdue review of South Africa's
defence capabilities and needs, now in the
phase of public consultation, paints a grim
picture. The country has too few fighting men and
women, often with old or useless equipment,
often without the discipline required to
constitute an effective fighting force, little ability
to deploy them rapidly, little by way of heavy
equipment to back them up and a severely limited ability to communicate with them once
they are in the field.

We also build MRAPS, the Proforce PF1 is an MRAP, the IKRI is also an MRAP.

Dummy, the Igirigi is an LAV with a ballistics protection of Stanag level 2, and boy are we happy with it.

Our IGIRIGI doesn't go to some AAD show, it goes straight to the field where it is needed.

Shortcomings stretch from basic training to
intelligence capability, leaving the defence force
if not defenceless as such, at least easily
outmatched by a sufficiently large multifront
attack using chemical or biological weapons,
heavily armoured units or any combination of these. And that is the formal, written version. In private,
analysts and military professionals across the
board scoff at the idea that South Africa could
defend itself from any serious, determined,
concerted attack almost as much as they scoff at
the idea that such an attack could take place in the foreseeable future. "We are not going to fight a conventional war in
the short-to-medium term," said Len le Roux, a
retired major general and consultant to the
Institute for Security Studies on defence policy. But if national defence remains the real job of
the defence force, the defence review says, then
somebody will have to pay for it.

Wouldn't care either state you are.

It is common military practice, Nothing wrong with it. Besides you fight from outside the APC, not inside it.

Common in which formal army besides the aged less professional eastern European armies, Taliban, Toyota-riding militias and Nigeria?

And besides, why waste money in designing a vehicle with a roof when soldiers would want to seat outside..... Then come buy our Gecko ATV, it's well suited for that purpose.

I don't think the russians, poles, Indians, turks, and Brazilians can be classified as less professional armies.

It is at the discretion of the soldier to seat where he thinks it's comfortable for him.

Gecko, Seleka already imported those. We'll pass.
