[size=13pt]According to your own Defence minister and military experts :

http://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2015/09/15/SANDF-goes-shopping

The report actually confirms that :

"Some of the equipment that must be replaced dates back to the 1950s, including trucks and aircraft."


Helmod said "Critical equipment, including trucks and armoured infantry vehicles, need to be replaced. We desperately need light anti-tank
weapons and reconnaissance vehicles. Our artillery and antiaircraft weapons systems need upgrading."

Stupart agreed that a lot of SANDF equipment had to be replaced

And compared to your military?

You don't need a citation to tell your dumb head that a properly snorkelling submarine only protrudes a snorkel, the radar is on the submarine hull or conning tower underwater and radar does not work through water, it's an air wave you fool ! Your physics teacher told you that radar waves travel trough water, or radar is used from ships to detect submarine under water? Why was sonar invented to replace radar for scanning through water? Mumu !

You show me the RCS size of your subs snorkel, lets see if it's as tiny as you think.

ATR-42 has high power Gabbianno radar, it has long range TV camera, and FLIR for detecting the massive diesel engine heat pouring out of your snorkel's exhaust pipe, the RCS does not matter to a visual TV or thermal detector you dunce !
.
1. Citation needed that submarine radar is on the conning tower... o wait!! Pic related!!

2. You said the ATR could detect it... so then show us with a citation

3. Again, irrelevant, provide citations


Big problem is: What are you going to do when you find the sub? Throw bricks at it?

1. Nigeria does not conduct high intesity naval combat training with anyone

2. That assault was a failure and was not bigger than the falklands war

This is boring
Bonny landing of 3rd marine commandos, a whole division size in operation OAU 1968, was the defeat of Biafra.

Nigeria landed about 20,000 troops on sea shore, the whole British army in falkalands war was about 9,000 troops.

South Africa has NEVER done amphibious landing in your SANDF or SAN war history, only NN has done it in Africa.

Nigerian military amphibious landing on Biafra was a huge success. South Africa has never attempted such a combat feat because your navy and army have ZERO amphibious war capacity, your entire army does not even have one single amphibious armoured vehicle and your military chiefs have no brain to plan a massive amphibious assault.

If the writer of that blog did not have any information about it ceiling at the time of publishing does not mean other sources won't.

The maximum ceiling of CH-3 is 6000m
Wiki put it at 4km.

My source is not a blog, it's military factory website and world respected as a military data source. Even Jane's defence does not publish the drone max ceiling.

Your Wikipedia is an unreliable source, anybody can edit it.

Now you landed two sources that disagree with each other, one says 4km another says 6km, so which one is right? Mumu grin grin

If Janes does not publish it then that is because no one knows.

That's more than four days you realise right?

Yes they are ghosts. Sweden tried hunting a similar ghost last year.

You have nothing to counter submarines!!!!

Your navy warships will be called back to naval bases.
4 days is not a useful naval blockade. After 4 days your submarine will die.

Sweden did not use aircraft to hunt the submarine, the worst enemy of submarines is enemy aircraft, they destroy them more than ships can do.

4 days is more than long enough for a sub to do the damage it needs.

You forget about our Valour class, they will hold the blockade while the subs do the killing

Generally you hardly find drones that can fly over 8000m in altitude. Such drones are very scares bra.

PL-9C Has the same speed as umkhonto which is Mach 2. Both its AAM and SAM version.


http://www.deagel.com/Air-to-Air-Missiles/PL-9_a002626001.aspx


http://www.armyrecognition.com/china_chinese_army_missile_systems_vehicles/pl-9c_shorad_short_range_ground-to-air_missile_technical_data_sheet_specifications_pictures_video.html
Umhkonto missile speed is slow at 2,500 km/h.

PL-9C missile speed is about double that of Umkhonto, PL-9C speed is about 4,300 km/h confirmed from China.

PL-9 IR-guided missile was first developed in the late 80s based on PL-8/Python-3 technology and is for export only. It has an all-aspect InSb seeker and a radio fuse. Its range is 500m minimum and 16km maximum. Speed is Mach 3.5 and load is 40g. Its forward control fins look similar to those of AIM-9L (double delta). The latest variant of PL-9 is called PL-9C with improved multi-band IR seeker and a new programmable digital processor giving it a greater IRCCM capability and higher killing probability. Its range is also increased to 20km. Here two PL-9C AAMs are seen being carried by a F-7PG fighter to be delivered to PAF. However PAF eventually decided to procure AIM-9Ls for its F-7PG fleet instead. PL-9C is expected to be the standard air-to-air weapon for the new F-7NI/BG/NM series exported to Nigeria, Bangladesh and Namibia.

Umkhonto is a freaking weak missile.

CH-3 specs as analysed by Beegeagle.


https://beegeagle./2015/01/28/special-focus-on-the-nigerian-militarys-new-chinese-built-ch-3-unmanned-air-combat-vehicles-armed-drones/


MISSION PROFILE
– reconnaissance in the combat zone,
– intelligence gathering
– precision strike missions
TECHNICAL DATA
* Cruising speed – 220 km/hr
* Loiter Time – 12 hours.
* Can be piloted as far as 200 kilometers from base
station
* Can send live feedback to the base station.
* Maximum takeoff weight – 640 kg
* Service ceiling – 5000 meters
* Maximum range – 2400 km

Umkhonto missile will kill their only one CH-3A and they will be left with nothing.

Conclusion.

Nigeria has no weapon in store to challenge SAN frigates.
You want us to bring in Beegeagle as source on this forum? You have to make up your mind, you say it's a blog grin grin

Two submerged subs in your waters for two days is enough to take out your two OPVs and Thunder the rest of your gun boats are useless creek vessels not meant for high seas.
OPV will not wait for a submarine, it will move to harbour in there is threat. Unless you fight war without declaring war first, there are international laws of war, you don't just attack a sovereign state or UN will turn against you.

SAN has manpower to fully operate ONLY one submarine at a time.

Your sub can only survive 4 days under water, it will part surface to snorkel and NAF will sink it.

1. Your own photo shows submarine radar is on the conning tower. # Suicide Comment grin grin

2. Show me a citation that your Super Lynx radar can detect objects on the sea

3. For what? Combat simulation?

If your submarine dares to use radar, it moves closer to the surface and becomes more vulnerable, it also begins to emit radar waves and it reveals it's exact position to enemy aircraft radar from 407 km away, the ATR-42 in PASSIVE MODE ESM will analyse your radar emissions and even jam it, our passive mode won't let your submarine know the ATR-42 is wrecking your radar operation ! Suicide move !

When my MPA/ISR aircraft finds your submarine snorkel, I will call in my missile drones or jets and helicopters to destroy your submarine, your sub is desperate for oxygen, that is why it is snorkelling for survival, that will be written in the autopsy report of it's untimely death
