Henry120: Not my problem if you want to continue to wallow in your self-imposed ignorance.

Ignorance is bliss.

agaugust: NATO ? They gave us zero help, they gave us 100% arms embargo.

Angola was fully accessible to SADF by dry land all the way. Nigeria had to fly air and sail ocean into a swamp and thick jungle equatorial rain forest of Africa.

South Africa dare not try that, you will get stuck till kingdom come

.

agaugust: That's like a tank dug in for defensive position. Armies do that a lot. That photo is not a road path.

You see the road in the video below, 99% of SANDF will be fully stuck in the mud. Soweto army is weak

agaugust: You deploy only 4x4 vehicles for peace keeping only, and you carefully select where you drive to.

C.A.R. Bangui is a city with tarred roads, not an all terrain rough war zone
.

agaugust: Nigeria deployed more than France.

Nigeria deployed 15,000 soldiers, with tanks, APCs, artillery, trucks, AAA guns, Frigates, LPD ship, corvettes, Alpha jets, C-130 Hercules, etc all 2,000 km away from Lagos, far up to Liberia/Sierra Leone and sustained them for 10 years without foreign help, because we were under international arms embargo.

That is world class force projection....Nigeria.....the strongest military in Africa second only to Egypt.

.

MikeZA: Yep,we(SADC) couldn't fund the mission. I'm still a bit sceptical,on whether the brigades will be well used. 1.On who decides for the brigade to deploy? 2. Would they engage local government forces? ..............

Henry120: All the helicopters purchased in 2013. I did not include 2014 orders.

agaugust: This is Africa too, West Africa...

.

agaugust: SANDF has ZERO force projection beyond your local SADC region

.

Henry120: You are back to distorting my comments.

I said we are aware of the identity of the first batch of 19 helicopters we are to receive. We do not at this point know whether this order of 40 helicopters is inclusive of the 19 or if they are a totally different order.

Don't deliberately distort it.

ZeusAyo: that means we really need some serious planning. It would be nice if each region had something like ecomog with modified boeing aircrafts and antonovs for air mobility with bases something like NATO inshort with standing defence treaty that no matter what happens or with so-ever, members are liable by law to help each other in terms of war either conventional or unconventional and it might also be extended trade

denisfidha: mike gave the best answer. A nope with no explanation, haha 1st of they will jam all communications on the continent. Then b4 the ships arrive they will sent a dozen long range non balistic missiles to level top 5 countries with the best arsenal (softening the target) when all the top 5 have been neutralized. The rest of us on the continent will drop on our knees and start repenting our sins and start begging for mercy

agaugust: Your blind Ingwe that gets disabled by smoke

agaugust: South African army will be 99% grounded where Nigerian army will move forward to victory.

Your wheels will b.ury your army in mud, Nigerian tracked armour will be picking you off like shooting practice while you dig with shovel. LOL !

That is about 60 helicopters in NAF on SIPRI alone for purchases from year 2000 to 2013 only. I did not add 6 units new Mi-35M Hind E, squadron of Bell Rangers, squadron of R66 Robinsons, and the 40 new helicopters from USA/Russia arriving this month.

Nigerian air force (Not counting Navy helicpoters one squadron, not counting any NAF reserves two squadrons) will have about 120 helicopters rocking the skies....Biggest force in Sub-Saharan Africa !

agaugust: Nope, never done anywhere..

"The Federal Government is adding 40 attack and transport helicopters to the air force arsenal in the battle with Boko Haram.


Other sophisticated hardware have also been ordered for the armed forces by the government, according to military sources in Abuja."

You just admitted what I have been saying for over 6 months now.

1. South African army is built for home-land defense alone

2. South African army has ZERO force projection outside your country

3. South African army will be 99% grounded and immobile in all terrain war theater

4. Nigerian army is built for full force projection outside Nigeria

5. Nigerian army will be 100% mobile in all terrain war theatre

6. Nigerian army is more powerful than South African army

GAME OVER ![/size]

craziebone: there is nothing spectacular about your DHQ. Ours is called the ship house! Now thats a true DHQ. Lol. Anyone with pic of it should pls post it here.

agaugust: Soweto guys wanna commit suicide because Nigeria ordered 40,000 military radios in one day ! Wow !

Let me help you to hang with a rope more quickly :

Nigeria just ordered 40,000 radios for our soldiers, enough radios to equip every combatant soldier in SANDF, we can give you some for free, so you issue them to your HIV sick army to call for help when their anti-retro viral drugs get finished on AU peace keeping deployment.
.

agaugust: 17 ambulances? For Lesotho army size...LOL

You have shortage of Ambulances in SANDF, that's why you are buying more .

Shortage !!!!!

.

rka1: It hurt did it? You didn't realise how USELESS SANDF Special Forces are? It happened in 2013. They can't train, how will they fare in real combat?

rka1: Let me remind you, you ran from SELEKA rebels and didn't even look back after one engagement, can't tackle poachers, riding on the back of UN forces in DR. You make me laugh, who's pathetic now.

By the way ignorant one, that is an old picture of a burnt building not barracks and no military wives or children were killed. See what I mean by posting rubbish from unknown sources.

chris365: and the source of your delusions is sahara reporters? keep it up dummy

[size=16pt]NNS Thunder now Africa's longest range blue water Navy warship
.[/size]

The extremely long-ranged NNS Thunder, capable of handling a voyage of 26,000 kms at ‘economic speeds’, is the only naval ship in Africa today which is able to execute a total circumnavigation of the continent’s 26,000km coastline on one full tank – without the need for refuelling, that is. It underscores her deserved status as an EEZ patrol asset of the highest value in Nigerian naval service.
