You said they will defeat ALL 17 missiles.

Prove it.

Exocet has an 80% hit rate, battle tested and proven.

Until you prove your claims, your corvette stands no chance.
You have only 13 Exocets NOT 17.

Manufacturer says HP-J defeats missiles. Fact !

There is no official record of 80% Exocet hit rate, and it is a bad missile notorious for failing to explode, just lucky to cause fire and sink two ships in its 35 year history. Many Iraqi exocets hït ships in gulf war and none of the ships sank. Exocet hit British ships in Falkland war and bounced off into the air wasted, ships just got hull metal dent repaired. Exocet has poor combat success rate in 35 years of many dozens fired in combat, sank only 2 ships, that is a 10% success rate realistically.

NNS centenary and NNS unity will waste your 13 Exocets and gun battle starts, then superior Nigerian 76mm stealth guns will sink Valour corvettes and your ancient 1970s rusted shorter range 76mm compact model guns that your foolish navy repainted from scrap yard putting non stealth gun on a stealth ship.....Nation of Zulu ïdïots !!

Who says we have 13?

Ok, manufacturer says it defeats missiles... but how many? What percentage success rate? Did they work in the Falklands?

That entire paragraph is complete B.S, which ships did the Iraqi's hit? Fact is in Falklands 5 exocet were fired... 3 ships hit, 2 sunk. You can do math right?

No, your ships will be wasted by a hail of missiles. Fact.

Algeria is NOT South Africa, their own Exocet is different from yours and has 180km range not 73km like your old Southie Exocets. Their Meko warship is also custom built and is a frigate fully armed with stealth guns that SAN does not have.

Show proof that SAN Valour patrol corvettes can carry 16 Exocets on one ship, prove it

Their exocets are the same length, weight and radius. Their 200 Meko are near identical to ours, they use the same radar, combat suit, SAMs ect ect and are also the exact same weight and length

Augustus, the fact that you refuse to shows that you know that this argument is beyond pathetic, you know that all you want to do is sit here and argue for the sake of arguing.

Grow up, be a man, face facts... a corvette without missiles does not stand a chance against a Frigate with missiles. You said so yourself on Beegeagles blog

You're going to India,


I do hope you know India has 2 Aircraft carries,

The Nigerian Navy is built to summarily defeat the contemporary threats we face, and we excel at it. We have the assets, men and training to continuously deploy and deal with that threat.




You..... You on the other hand, claims to have a Navy :

- 4 Corvettes armed with 3 missiles per ship

- 3 submarines

- 40 million dollars a unit SAR Helicopters

- Lone seaborne pilot

Is this what you call a Navy?

We are going to India and China - we are going to do training we cant do in RSA.

Guess who didnt get invited - Nigeria (even after spending all that money on Chinese equipment)


You have defeated nothing - Nigeria remains a world piracy and oil-theft hotspot

Our navy

- 4 corvettes with 4 SSM's eand 16 SAMs each (you have none), all of which are the most advanced in SSA

- 3 subs (you have none) The only and most advanced in SSA

- 4 of the most advanced maritime helos in SSA

- Multiple pilots for them.

In comparison nigeria has a fleet:

- 50% of which is non operational
- Ships have an average age of 40 years
- Has no actual warships
- Crashed their only warship 8 times
- Can only afford 2 modern OPV's (RSA is buying 4), both of which are stripped down
- Relys on american donations, all of which are stripped down
- Most sailors cannot swim
- Has no operational maritime helicopters
- Has not conducted high-intensity combat training in decades

You know what I call that? A coast guard with a rust fleet grin grin
