[s]Qualified from Gripen training course to take off and land. That does not make you combat qualified, you need standard combat training hours EVERY YEAR on the Gripen to become combat capable.

You said you are an air force officer....and I have to lecture you ? Wow ![/s]

"The majority of those going to Russia are qualified pilots but are short of flying hours to build their experience base. The lack of flying hours , also a result of a tight budget, has contributed in no small measure to this."

SAAF has ZERO combat qualified Gripen pilots, they can only do take off and landing or public ceremonial shows like Mandela's Funeral.

SAAF is dead.

Patchesagain:
11 -3 trainers = 8 combat worthy jets

FighterPilot:
What is a combat qualified pilot?

agaugust:
Nope, we have only one trainer, and it is combat capable. Total is 11 F-7, with combat capable pilots having surplus combat flying hours.

Better than 9 Gripen pilots who are short of flying hours and not combat qualified.

A living dog is better than a dead lion.

Epic!!!!

Yes jackass, it says THOSE PILOTS are short of hours. They is why they are going to Russia.

It does not say ALL Gripen pilots are short of hours

Are you illiterate or simply being disingenuous?

Weird that "unqualified"pilots are dropping bombs then?

Dropping bombs on empty space on top of sand, any dummy can press button to release a bomb on a non existent target....just push one button.....even a mooronn with half education can push one simple button, your pilots are dullards and need Russian help.

You are a liar, SANDF mission was signed and sealed on documents, mission included protecting property and saving human lives. PROVED :

"The new agreement detailed in the diplomatic note now comes under scrutiny. The diplomatic notes provide for the ‘reinforcement of the South African Contingent for self-defence, protection of property and saving of human lives in Bangui’. The expanded scope of cooperation to include – self-defence, protection of property and saving of human lives. "

No wonder even Sudan rifle boys in Toyota scares SANDF.....your army always remember defeat and humiliation by Seleka AK-47 rifles

You are the ones in South African glass houses throwing stones at other black African countries.

Nigeria has 11 F-7 jets they are 3.5th Gen aircraft with 4th Generation radar and missiles.

Good enough to defeat 9 SAAF Gripen pilots who are only qualified to fly but NOT qualified for combat due to below standard flying hours and very poor flying skills that need to be re-trained in tiny Cuba and Russia.

How low South African military has fallen !

The mission of SANDF in CAR was straight forward and that was to provide training to CAR troops as per requested by Bozize when he visited SA in 2007 during which MoU was signed.

In return SANDF had to send personnel for security purposes.


CAR had peacekeepers whose duty was to protect the locals and that was French troops who ran away when rebels grabbed the town, only SA troops stood their grounds.

Nope 3 are trainers
https://beegeagle./2010/07/26/nigerian-air-force-receive-last-batch-of-chinese-f7-ni-jets/

Now citatiosn for:
1. Nigeria having enough combat capable pilots
2. Trainer being combat capable
3. SAAF pilots not being qualified

As usual, you make allot of statements but provide no evidence. If you continue to do so, I shall take it as a sign of your defeat and leave. I have better things to do with my time than talk to children.

DictatorZAR:
The dailymaverick the very same site that reported our subs were all in dry dock beyond repair yet the same week one sub was on patrols and the other participating in a Nato naval exercise.

I think I should start using sahara as a credible nigerian site since we are now using sites like maverick as credible sources.

You failed exams at air force academy ?

agaugust:
SANDF troops stood their grounds trembling inside French army base at the airport

New MoU signed just 3 months before the Seleka atacked, which I posted source today, expanded SANDF mandate to include protection of property and human lives.....but your elite paratroops + cowradly special forces ALL abandoned the people of C.A.R in their hour of need.

Go take lessons from Nigerian army, navy and air force 10 year long war of saving human lives in Liberia and Sierra Leone, our army battalions are still in those countries today 2015, we have stayed there for 25 years. !

South African military will NEVER achieve that, your courage always fails in your chicken heart in your chicken republic.

agaugust:
False Sahara reporters stories were proved wrong by other reports from the battle field.

True your submarine spent 7 years in dry dock, dailymaverick did not say all of them.

Every source that does not favour SANDF is tagged as bad.

Patchesagain:
Which is exactly the same "combat" Nigerian pilots have seen!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Hear that? Its the sound of your argument collapsing under the sheer weight of its stu.pidity!

DictatorZAR:
Read about your air force epidemic loss of obsolete aircraft.
