The South African designed sniper rifle, that, when operated by a South African made it into the world record books and became a permanent pillar in world sniper history

The above claim was denied by the SANDF and the South African army made no such record announcement. Let's not add unconfirmed reports to photos, and let's not exaggerate even if it's true. No offence intended.

Pic...terrain headache for soldiers in Congo...and a careless army driver that should get a query

Yes, and I am correct with source available on free internet and source pdf to paste on google browser, and a separate weblink were both posted here same day. Yes Nigerian navybis buy;ng four guided missile fast attack crafts. Source : PAPER 1 - NIGERIAN NAVY TRANSFORMATION PLAN - IMPLEMENTATION MILESTONES AND THE WAY FORWARD.pdf

I deliberately avoid overloading this photo thread with weblinks for sources in all my comments, it's not the other argument thread where time wasters shout "citation please" asking for proof of everything including proofs that have been repeated for them 20 times. While here, I just rather mention source, e.g. Defenceweb, Guy Martins. That is decent. Now you just brought in today the bad habit of crossing out/striking through peoples' comment from the other thread to this one, soon you will spread it here and later blame another person for the bad habit you started.

Same source did not say 3 new ones.

So, we have now seen that you lied to us

I think you need to leave now.

Soldiers, whos name and ranks were released (A colonel I believe) have confirmed.

So it is confirmed, by Senior Officers

Lets not dispute things for the sake of disputing them.

How do you exaggerate a fact?

No official source = Rumour.
Claim was OFFICIALLY denied by SANDF SPOKESMAN OF BRIG.GENERAL RANK and you know that very well. Lets not post claims that have been officially denied, that will be deliberate falsehood on this thread.

Source is official pdf and published by the Navy on it's news website, it clearly said 4 new ones for NN, and I am correct. You are the one telling lies about sniper kill record that SANDF officially denies.

You a South African asking a Nigerian to leave Nairaland for you to sit tight? Is it Rand-land?

What are you going to do when I post the source (posted here before) that cites the Name and Rank of the Officer who confirmed it?

You need to stop picking fights here, especially on old issues.

Keep to less than 3 megabytes total photo in one comment/post. Also reduce number of times you insert images directly inside the comment box using ....[img][/img] ....it may cause a ban when you do it more than twice a day or your inserted image is more than 2 megabytes.

Air assault infantry using helicopters followed by Seaborne infantry using Lima boats.

These two units deserve specialized vehicles. The paratroopers should also have something in the class of the OTT Hunter.

The Algerian Navy is impressive. What percentage of equipment deployed is made in Algeria?

Not clear enough to identify. Looks like some sort of PDW.

Only less than 4.

The rest are Airborne and Seaborne infantry.
