jln115:Not out-dated, it's incomplete, it does not list gun/cannon as part of T-129 armament, meaning the helicopter has no gun ! Can you ever think at all? Dude? |

agaugust:It was retired sometime between 2010and 2013, the USS San Juan visited SA in 2009, so yes it had Nuclear capability at that time. |

Henry120:Your e-mail is a hoax. Official figures put your budget at $2 billion. Furthermore: A lack of investment in training, failure to maintain equipment and dwindling cooperation with Western forces has damaged Nigeria's armed services, while in Boko Haram they face an increasingly well-armed, determined foe. "The Nigerian military is a shadow of what it's reputed to have once been," said James Hall, a retired colonel and former British military attaché to Nigeria. "They've fallen apart." Military education is still taken very seriously, he said, but equipment and training to use it have been neglected, with radio equipment in particularly short supply. Nigeria’s defence budget will drop from N364.2 billion ($2.3 billion) last year to N340.3 billion ($2.1 billion) in 2014 according to the Nigerian Budget Office – a 6.5% reduction in funding. Furthermore, the proposed budget drops defence from 12.1% of overall government spending to 7.8% between 2013 and 2014, according to IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly. SIPRI Confirms Janes Confirms. Nigerian military is beyond broke!!! Hahahaha, how the tide has turned ![]() |

agaugust:1. T-129 only carries 500 rounds for its gun, the Rooivalk carries 700. More munitions = more firepower. In terms of guns, Rooivalk has 1.4X more firepower. 2. [Citation needed] 3. And so? Rooivalk carries better ATGM's. And the T-129 can only carry 12 of such weapons 4. Two gun pods that cannot be aimed, forceing it to perform gun runs like a hind. 5. So can the Rooivalk. Your T-129 is a lightweight Recon helicopter. Rooivalk is a heavyweight tank hunter... lets compare stats: Lets compare: T-129 maximum payload of ATGM's: 8 Rooivalk maximum payload of ATGM's: 16 T129 maximum payload of rockets: 12 Rooivalk maximum payload of rockets: 76 T129 gun ammunition: 500 Rooivalk gun ammunition: 700 T129 maximum weapons payload: 1,200kg Rooivalk maximum weapons payload: 2000kg It is obvious who has more firepower.

Henry120:Defunct: No longer existing or functioning. SAAF Pumas were retired in early 90s. De Klerk was politician. Nigeria has nothing. Go ask Abacha in his grave. |

agaugust:Helicopters in Reserve - no crew to operate them, no skills to operate them effectively. Our sailors sunk a NATO task force - i think that they can handle your 50 year old fleet 2 Submarines are currently operational, if we wanted to we could have all 3 in the water. You yourself proclaimed on Beegugug's blog that one South African sub would sink your entire fleet!! Now you deny your words? Hhahahah!! It shows, you are nothing but a troll on this forum! |

agaugust:Why do you waste space on this forum with childish posts? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:10am On May 11, 2015 |
agaugust:Porblem is: Rooivalk was called in by the UN when they found that the Hind could not do the job. Dude, seriously, you just come here and troll. Soon I will begin trolling you. |

| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:15am On May 11, 2015 |
agaugust:Facts on the ground are clear: - men refuse to fight - special forces refuse to fight - men have no equipment - men are driven around in pickup trucks |

agaugust:Boko haram is still alive and well |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:16am On May 11, 2015 |
agaugust:Obviously not. Your government is broke and has to borrow money to pay wages. |

agaugust:No one cares about your opinion. |

agaugust:"total caliber firepower?" What is that? Rushing to spinning before researching? A 105mm howitzer is the biggest caliber of a weapon mounted on an aircraft. Where are you getting that 309m? Your helicopter will crash cause of recoil I'd..iot.T129: Caliber: 20mm Cartridge:20 x 102mm Rooivalk: Caliber: 20mm Cartridge: 20 x 139mm. The T129 carries 12 ATGM compared to the Rooivalk's 16. Pods aren't modern the Rooivalk prototype carried pods in the 90s. Superiority demonstrated! |

Henry120:Rooivalk has all of these sans MILDAR |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:24am On May 11, 2015 |
Henry120:O look, henry120 is showing his butthurt again. Pathetic nigeria can only weld some metal onto the chassis of a ford truck and it hurts him that South Africa is building attack helicopters. Henry120, i think you need pic related

Henry120:Henry120, the sub that was completely out IS the one that spent 7 years in dock. What does posting an opinion peice have to do with the discussion? A flawed opinion peice - the Grip flew over 800 hours in 2012 alone. So, first: provide a citation for your opinion peice Second, formulate your own opinions. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MikeCZAR: 12:28am On May 11, 2015 |
agaugust:Nigeria has precision strike capability, your artillery was doing area suppression. You don't have shells like bonus or excalibur. Didn't the SANDF use MRLs in Bangui? Skillful men? Who can't handle ammunition? Go lie to your kids. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:29am On May 11, 2015 |
Henry120:1. How was CAR a defeat? What objective did we fail? 2. How is 200 men being pushed back by 4000 abysmal? Henry120... I just dont understand. You keep saying these things You say them over and over and over. But when I invite you to explain yourself you run away. |
