Neither was the G6 in 1987.

Why dont you ask the Cubans about whether or not we deploy weapons that Denel is still developing?

Why not ask the UNITA commanders who had to abandon their HQ? Why not ask all the orphans Juliet troop made?
The argument is not about G6 artillery, we are talking about complex missile and radar systems.

Umkhonto land based is NOT in service with SANDF....prove to us it has been ordered and entered service.

May I also start quoting Akash SAM for Nigeria because we are on the line to buy it?

G6 was not in service with the SADF in 1987


Yet it was used in battle.

If Denel has it, and SANDF needs it... they get it.

No you may not, and furthermore, that article does not say anything about the Akash.

Old outdated news article that talks about trade nothing what you claim you fraudster.

2017 is when denel will complete the medium range development of the Umkhonto R, but the short range missile is already in service.

There is no complex missile system today in Nigeria only expired old 40year old systems that everyone else in the world deems obsolete retired to museums.

Nigeria announced 13 January 2014 the creation of the Nigerian Army Special Operations Command (NASOC) at a Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Insurgency Lessons Learned Exchange between the United States and Nigeria. US has been involved in capacity-building for military personnel. There have been various workshops on civil–military relations, strategic communication and counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency, which were supported by the United States. Through such collaboration, the Nigerian Army established Nigerian Army Special Operations Command (NASOC).

Sure tells you Nigeria too is buying new air defence stuff, not only you.

DENEL land based is NOT in service with SANDF, even the Mokopa you made, you could not buy one piece.

Weapons not in service are not recognized on this forum, we deal with reality not dreams, anybody can dream, and projects/plans can be cancelled like SAAF AM400 aircraft.

1. It does not say what... and its from 2012

2. G6 was not in service when it was deployed to battle.

3. Rich coming from the man who is constantly inventing new things for the Nigerian arsenal. If Denel has it, the SANDF has acess to it - this is fact

1. Same way the last time your Umkhonto was tested was 2013 and still far from 80 km plan, it only reached 20 km.

2. I don't care about G6 story of 1987.

3. Bragging about 80 km Umkhonto missile that you do NOT have....one single prototype built for testing, lack of funds since 2013.

[size=25pt]SANDF get another R15 billion ($150 million) from the minibudget and another R6 Billion for border security alone!

A total of around R21 billion ($210 million)

Slowly but surely!! [/size]

R21 billion = $ 2 billion mate !! Which would mean the entire budget of the SANDF must have increased by 50%, which doesn't sound entirely plausible given the current economic situation!!

Yeah dude just check the mini-budget, they said Defence and Security would go up by R30billion and that 40% of that was going to SAPS

Big lie, SANDF pays for DENEL products, or your country runs a business corporation like a charity NGO ?

Show proof that DENEL built more than one launcher of that land based Umkhonto, all we ever see is that same experimental unit from 2013, there is even no proof that there is any 20 km missile in stock after firing the test rounds.

What if SANDF refuses to order it like SAAF refused to order Mokopa?

No military site ranks national armed forces based on the weapons under experiment in their defence industry, your military capability is judged by what equipment are in service in your armoury, or else how does the world rank USA, Russia and China who are always doing R & D and testing new weapons every day?

You are ranked based on what you have ready for war.

Nigeria too has many weapons locally made, tested, but not yet in service, not much disclosed, so how do we factor those in?

South Africa has NEVER owned an ASW helicopter in your 300 year national history.

I see you left out your chopper in the pics. You know, the one that could be mistaken for a business helicopter.


And yes we dont have the best ASW helcopter, nore have we. Its still better than yours and we actually have submarines unlike some countries.

Bit less than 2 billion actually. But it is not that hard. The best run government department in SA is SARS. They really good at getting money. This is why our tressury dwarfs that of Nigeria even though the GDPs are not that far of.


Still i have not looked at our mini budget but its not farfetched.

Government spending on public order and safety and on defence will continue to increase, from R163 billion this year to R193 billion by 2017/18. Police services receive about 48 per cent of the total allocation

Budget provision for border safeguarding and regional security amounts to R2.8 billion and R4.5 billion, respectively, over the next three years.

Envy galore! South African defense industry has not produced robots like Nigeria....your shitty SouthAfrica defense industry, if the white men don't do it for you it never gets done because you coloreds and blacks are dullards for life cheesycheesy

South African defense industry is dominated by European companies opening branches in South Africa and forced by your BEE program to sell shares to incompetent blacks to put them put on the board of directors by force cheesycheesy

BAE is British, Rheinmetal is German, and Reutech is also European origin.

The day a black or colored South African builds a robot and rocket in the class of what Nigerian blacks have done, I will apply for South African visa and come to congratulate Zulu men

Nigerian AFIT is not a garage, it's like a polytechnic/college of tech, they are building NAF Farawa light aircraft.

Gulma drone is hi-tech.

The drone in that photo above is not Gulma, it's likely the Amebo III drone.

South African hi-tech weapons are produced with foreign help. Finland helping you to build Badger IFV, Brazil gave you hitech for A-Darter missile, you Zulus/Xhosas/Bantus have no hitech brain of your own, your brains can only produce Shaka Zulu spear grin grin

When I posted Nigeria's Ichoku hand held drone here you said we don't have it in service yet, so now you cannot change the rules.

We don't want story story double standards, the line is drawn on this forum. Any weapon not in service is not recognized.

SANDF has NOT even ordered Umkhonto missile, and no proof there are any missiles left after test firing, and only one launcher built, so drop it in the thrash bin.

When Umkhonto land based enters service, come back and talk, for now YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY WORTHY AIR DEFENCE MISSILE in SANDF
