I really want the navy to go into stealth. RAM/(Design) deflection of EM waves is enough. They can leave acoustic and thermal stealth for now.

Odunayaw:
you should be proud...these guys make hunting look good
but wait...they r just 99? really?

giles14:
what an irony.one of the best in the world and you can't lower your country's crime rate(one of the highest in the world,internationally known).

and pls if you check my post I never mentioned Nigeria. what i mentioned is Algeria and Tunisia.

so when it comes to ego nobody do it better than you south Africans(we are best in everything) .

giles14:
please were did u now keep Algeria and Tunisia.

the south African maybe one of the best in subsaharan Africa but definitely not the best in Africa.

DictatorZAR1:
Can anyone tell me how far the Denel Marlin Missile project is from completion

frumentius:
You might just earn yourself removal from Henry's list of "good" Saffers!

MikeCZA:
Dude please remove the last picture.

ActivateKruger:
It's meant for commercial use. They're targeting the small passenger segment. Understand that Denel has never developed a fixed wing plane before so this is more like a capacity building exercise for them.... We can all guess what they'll do after this.

Henry240:
Again, those were British and Italian hostages, and how has been the Nigerian response since then?

Henry240:
British and Italian hostages.

Fidha254



Americans, Europeans, Russians and Chinese always come to this Continent claiming all and be all. When the stats show that countries, especially the U.S is more dangerous than many African countries including Nigeria and Kenya.

The state of Arizona recorded more kidnappings than the entire Niger-Delta region, at the height the insecurity in the region.


However, this is my grouse, allowing westerners carry guns or conduct operations willy-nilly, or whatever "Joint-Ops" fancy name Africaken254 wanna call it is simply not proper. Yes, we have hired Westerners/FBI to assist in investigations, however did that help they provide stop the bombings, NO!!. Every country suffers security challenges, but perception matters. The citizens have to see that their country's security agencies are in charge, and are all and be all when it comes to security in the country.


When the Nigerian government hired STTEP to assist the Nigerian military, it was completely hidden. Infact there is no evidence anywhere that supports the claim we hired STTEP. The Nigerian government hired a Nigerian PMC (Dolphins security), it was the company which went ahead and hired STTEP. This allows for Plausible Denialbility. The government has to show it's citizens that it is in charge, actions, posture and perception has to exhume this fact.


An example, there was this photo of French soldiers arresting a man in CAR. A Nigerian newspaper, Vanguardngr.com mistakenly used that caption in it's publication. The reaction from Nigerians and the government was swift. The editor who published that photo, fired and a full page, front-page apology by Vanguardngr.com


My point is Africans should take charge of their security, no place is safe, not even Norway. Brandishing foreigners with guns in our streets does nothing to improve security, it has never improved security.


A success story between Kenyan Security Officers and the FBI does not exist, it has never existed. Whatever gains have been made by the KDF has entirely been carried out by the KDF.

Quiet professionals.

And of course, you guys joined in too. One good thing is it resulted in the birth and growth of your comms/radio manufacturing industry.
Sanctions never seem to work as intended in our neck of the woods .

They don't cos it's a SANDF policy. Nigerian soldiers dare not do what they're doing back when we had strict secrecy policy.

I remember when SiriusBlack first started posting pics online at the time the army had a strict secrecy policy till dhq got wind of it and warned it to stop. It stopped till it was relaxed again for reasons best known to DHQ.

The navy had never tried to conceal the sbs (one of the best units in the country) from the public. even beegs has had the privilege of visiting them took group photos for his blog. If hq didn't want it that way they wouldn't have permitted it.

In US only CIA assault groups are kept secret. The other spec ops are all over the place.

In Nigeria it's the same. You'll hardly see DSS storm troopers. These are the guys that helped the army chase out boko haram from maiduguri. They conducted countless raids on bh targets with sbs (only very few sbs operators where deployed at that time).

The NIA also has it's special units you'll rarely see online. As well as there are what we call crack units in all of these special units.

Australia has one of the best sf yet you'll get photos with the faces and profile of some of their bravest currently in service online. Something SANDF won't tolerate

We operate in different environments and have different policies.

Respect that and stop making comments out of ignorance.


@henry, please pardon me for posting the link

iblawi:
Just like you said Bro 5% of their special forces is larger than your entire army. How many SF can you get from your 40,000 troops then calculate 5% of them. You will discover that it just an insignificant figure.

In conclusion, is not that they are professional but because they are too few in numbers coupled with the fact most of them have never been to the battle ground. So tell us where the pics will come from? Will it be from training or where?

TrueHeart365:
Ok. We get it.

South African sf are the best in the world. Even better than US green beret, navy seal, delta force combined (since those guys have pics with their faces all over the net).

Let's post on topic.

TrueHeart365:
Bro. No one gives a sh1t if SA forces even wears masquerade mask to hide their faces. It's definitely not a yardstick to measure professionalism. There are pics of devgru, navy seal, delta force etc... All over the internet.

You guys are just so ignorant.

First pic is navy seal
Second is devgru and third is navy seal being sooo "unprofessional" by south African standard. Last pic is French SAS in Mali.

Take a beer bro and chill. The world has evolved and saffers need to was well.

There are a lot more pics on instagram if you follow these guys

jakeporeshenko:
example of posting fairly and on topic...Cameroon air force choppers
see its not so hard, no need to make meaningless and baseless comparisons. now you try

jakeporeshenko:
this internet warrior just called our deadly pipe hitters "Facebook boys" i can't believe it, how many dead terrorist do you see per day mister, if you don't mind me asking, how many men have driven up to you at full speed in a car loaded with bombs? or how many IEDs have you encountered in your days ? this is why i don't bother to get myself involved in arguments with you Saffers or where ever you are from. Henro don't bother to reply these clowns, its a complete waste of time, common sense can't be taught, imagine comparing their goons who in the past 20 years have only delt with street thugs in DRC,CAR and hunters in their own backyard to our guys hahaha... "individuals not soldiers".

Henry240:
I could not careless about his title or what you South-Africans call him. It lays to waste your ignorant argument, that's an RSA commando on duty and online.


This argument is done.

Henry240:
He's a South-African commando. That's is all that matters, I've proven my point and this argument is no longer up for a debate.

Henry240:
I believe Mr Selfie taking RSA Airborne Commando has taken permission to take this selfie. You probably think everyone in Africa is illiterate as South-Africans back home.


If i decide to search further on Instagram, I am sure going to get more photos.

Henry240:
Your ignorance. I find ignorance to be very nauseating.


A bit of common sense would tell you perhaps if i could remember his name i would have shared it. His image was "regramed" to a Nigerian military page i follow. When i come across his page again, I'll share it in this thread.

Henry240:
There's no way for me to put this nicely. This has to be the most stupiid comment i've read all year, no offence.


Charity should begin naturally at home, tell you commandos to stop posting photos on Instagram. According to you, there is a law banning them from doing that, yet your "Professionals" are breaking their own laws. We don't have a problem with showing faces in Nigeria, there is no law against it. Our military high command post images showing faces.

Henry240:
When you make an ignorant comment, i'm more than obliged to educate you. World Armies page on Flickr has photos of South-African Hornets with the MRLS and Mortar system. Go check out the page. Nothing secret about that.


The South-African Commando on Instagram who wants to scale 7 of the world's highest peaks has his photos clearly splashed all over instagram. If I decide to search for South-African commandos, including your Parabats, I'm sure i'll see enough photos.


Don't pass off ignorant comments just to feel full of yourself.

Henry240:
Some South-Africans would be making clearly ignorant and poorly informed comments that have no bearing in reality.


American Commandos, likely Navy Seals and Delta operators in Syria with their faces clearly visible.
