I don't need to ZOOM into the theaters here in Borno State on an iPhone! I am here ROVING around in-person! So stop wasting your 10 rand little data-bundle trying to impress yourself with BVR capabilities on your wretched iPhone!

SAAF asked him to show what he has learnt from Nigeria and all that he could do was mickey mouse antics and then they decided to put him under a highly advanced and the toughest SANDF military training. They retrained him and removed the ape exercises which were ingrained in his brain.

SANDF DOES NOT NEED ASSISTANCE TO FIGHT ITS WARS
About 100,000 UNITA troops helped SADF 4,000 fight Angolan war, means UNITA did over 90% of Bush war combat like Nigeria, while South Africa did less than 5% combat like Chad.

Tanzania helped and commanded SANDF in Congo war.

American commandoes helped SANDF and Rangers fight Rhino poachers deep inside your homeland South Africa.

The Nigerian Air Force will soon take delivery of a refurbished C-130H-30 Hercules transport aircraft after a two and a half year rebuild by specialist company Marshall Aerospace in the United Kingdom.

The Nigerian Air Force aims to refurbish five of its eight surviving C-130Hs. The Nigerian C-130 fleet is more than three decades old and by 2009 only one example was still flying while the others were sitting in obvious disrepair idly at Ikeja Air Base with less than 5,000 flying hours.

After more than a year of major repairs and maintenance, the U.S. Air Force helped return the first of five Nigerian C-130s to operational service on January 21, 2011. The aircraft went through an extensive process called Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) in a Lockheed Martin depot in Lisbon, Portugal.

In September 2013 the Nigerian Air Force received another refurbished C-130. This time it was refurbished with the assistance of French aviation company Sabena Technics.

http://www.c-130.net/c-130-news-article134.html

You only have 3 airworthy C-130's in total - which means that you can put a maximum of 2 in the air at any one time

By comparison, SAAF has 5 of 9 C-130's operational with the remaining 4 in various stages of maintenance, repair and re-fit

The South African Air Force is operating five of its nine Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, as the others are either being serviced or are awaiting inspections.

“What’s confusing is we average about three aircraft per day. I think that’s what’s causing the stories because there are only three aircraft flying. Out of the nine that we’ve got, there are three that are waiting for servicing and one at a time are waiting for inspections. So we’re operating five aircraft of the fleet at a time,” Pretorius said.

http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30177:five-of-nine-saaf-hercules-serviceable&catid=111:sa-defence

There you have it, we have more in service and more operational

The Air Force has ordered for nine helicopters from Russia to strengthen air surveillance, Air Marshal Alexander Badeh has said.

Badeh, who spoke at the NAF Public Relations and Information Workshop in Abuja yesterday, said the Air Force is fixing three C-130 aircraft in its fleet. According to him, the three aircraft would be ready by February and added to the ones on the ground for enhanced
performance.

Actually, 20 000 SADF personnel deployed to keep the UNITA movement alive and the SADF was forced to launch multiple offensives into Angola to save UNITA - so you got that backwards

Tanzania commands the Brigade, not South Africa - we command our battalion and Oryx and Rooivalk and C130's and mortar sections and logistics teams and MP's and medics and support staff, and South Africa deployed the majority of men and equipment

Private men hired to work on private land has nothing to do with the South African state.

Yes the totals add up, (infact they are less than I gave you)

NAF 918
NAF 917

Thats 4 C-130'sin total inventory, with a total of 3 refurbished up to date.

With regards to domestic refurbishment the 3 referred to are the 3 that have been refurbished

Conclusion: Nigeria has a total of 3 air-worthy C-130's - meaning that at most 2 can be in the air at any one time*

*i gave you 2 as its war-time for you, meaning reduced maintenance cycles - this is not sustainable for the long term.

Even with the evidence in front of you, yet this is the bull you could come up with....LOL

Don't tell me you are this stup1d?

In 2012 of November. The then CAS who is currently the CDS confirmed that 3 C-130's are currently under-going maintenance/up-grades.

These C-130s would come back to service in February of 2013 and would join operations of the other C-130s( 2 or more) already on the ground.

3+2 = 5 C-130's in service.

Add these 2 other C-130's inducted into service when the Gazzelle helicopters were brought in.


How many C-130's are there in total?
