No wonder SAAF failed in the anti-Rhino poachers campaign, Gripen jet flying at 1,500 km/hr with recce pods at low altitude, once Poachers hear the thunder of supersonic jet engine noise, they hide under the trees, Gripen jet flies past in air show parade fashion....mission failed...zero ISTAR...Soweto mumus grin

OK then what is your take upon the behaviour of colonel agu who left the war zone prematurely leaving his troops in disarray without following the instrutions? What action is warranted in this respect? Does he need to be court marshalled or what?
when on the field u either get d job done with damages happening or lose ur target,inorder not to loose d target as a lt. colonel he may do that

Wow ! Over 5,000 of those same Sudanese women were mass R.aped by Janjahweed militia in front of their husbands from town to town in broad daylight. Sure those women didn't have any balls than Nigerian Colonel then, or did they?

When the mass R.ape of these Sudanese women was too much for Nigeria to tolerate, Obasanjo forced the AU to grant Nigerian army right to send our first infantry platoons there to save them and we went there like heroes and warriors, first combat authorized African soldiers to enter Sudan.

South Africa that has no balls in their army was watching the mass R.ape happen daily and pretended they don't hear news or know what is called African Union.

Nigerian army landed in Sudan, we stopped the supporter of APC militia half-Arabs from R.aping our fellow black Sudanese women and k.illing their husbands in Rwanda style genocide. Then the government of Sudan got angry and sent their army mixed with Janjahweed battalions to attack Nigerian army camp in the dark night in a surprise unprovoked attack on a peace keeping force.

Nigerian army outnumbered, General Agwai refused to surrender, ordered our boys to fight to death of the last man standing. Our soldiers died, but the Sudanese militia could not penetrate our base. Nigeria won the battle despite being outnumbered.

Do you wonder why AU chose Nigerian army General Golah to command all African armies including ball-less and bone-less South African army under AU forces from 2015 ? Go ask the AU high command, I have given you the reason in this post .

There are about dozens of widows and fatherless children in Nigeria today because their daddy traveled 1,000 km away from home to save the lives of those same Sudanese women you say have balls than the Nigerian who died fighting for them.

Where was South African army at that time of mass R.ape and mass M.urder-Genocide in Sudan?

At home, Soweto, fvcking wives and girlfriends.

Cowards !

again they where built to be recon aircraft from the grounds up. Most of the recon in Angola in the late 80s was done by jets.

Part of the reason why you did not win the war. Your jets were reconnaissance failures.

Anyway, SAAF did very very few air recce because your pilots were afraid of Cuban MiG-23 when your Mirages were fully armed for combat not to talk of when they are equipped for recce....and your other jets would not venture to any place where Cuban MiG jets will eat them for dinner.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAS_39_Gripen

In 1979, the Swedish government began development studies for an aircraft capable of fighter, attack and reconnaissance missions to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen. A new design from Saab was selected and developed as the JAS 39,

Dude, Sweden does not depend on Gripen jets for ISTAR, they have Saab 340 called S 100B aircraft for that...

"In July 2006, Saab was awarded a contract to upgrade two of the Swedish Air Force's S 100B aircraft for surveillance missions and for deployment in multi-national operations. The upgraded Saab 340 AEW-300 aircraft, are planned to enter service by 2009."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_340_AEW%26C

Also, Sweden has Gulfstream G-IV SP aircraft for SIGNIT.

Your South African air force must be 66 years behind the world for you to be calling Gripen jet fighter your fvcking ISTAR aircraft.

British air force did not list Eurofighter Typhoon swing-role jet fighter with powerful radar and special functions including Search Modes - Ground Map, High Resolution Map, Ground Moving Target Identification and Sea Surface Search and Track While Scan capabilities, as their real reconnaissance or ISTAR aircraft despite the fact that Typhoon can do better recce than your tiny toy Gripens.

See what sensible countries call ISTAR aircraft..... http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/istarandcistar.cfm

South African air force is 166 years behind Nigeria, you have zero ISTAR aircraft and zero ELINT aircraft.

"Acquisition of Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350, Special Installations, Certification, Importation, Training of Personnel, Operations Support for Special Mission on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria."

"On June 13, 2005, Beechcraft announced at the Paris Air Show that it was developing the King Air 350ER version. Changes include provision for surveillance equipment in a belly pod, the landing gear to handle the increased weight and provide ground clearance for the belly pod, and extra fuel capacity in the engine to increase range"

[size=14pt]Nigeria`s ultra modern new surveillance aircraft with powerful Data-Link

Enter the secret Beechcraft King Air, sophisticated spy master of giant Nigeria

See the radar dome and data-link under the Nigerian SPECIAL MISSION aircraft

Flight range....about 5,000 km !!!

Long-range air to ground search radar with 80km range

12 hours flight non-stop[/size]


"King Airs are ideal surveillance aircraft. Each model features a large, pressurized, environmentally controlled cabin, high dash speed and extensive endurance. The King Air 350ER offers even more endurance, performing over-land surveillance with sufficient payload to operate a moving target indicator, synthetic aperture radar, EO/IR (FLIR), streaming video data-link, self-protection systems, The integrated sensor suite includes an MX-15 surveillance turret with long-range cameras and infrared to detect, track, classify and identify surface contacts. These capabilities can also be turned to limited maritime patrol, via long-range ship detection and imaging, and identification of small ocean targets in high sea states., and a wide variety of high-performance communications systems.

Imagery systems have been installed in virtually all models of the Beechcraft King Air. Today’s data link technology allows relatively simple transmission of real-time streaming video to fixed or vehicle-mounted ground receivers for timely dissemination to tactical units."

http://www.beechcraft.com/special_missions/surveillance.aspx

Notice the radar under the belly of the Nigerian aircraft....An all-weather sensor, provides photographic-quality images through clouds, rain, dust, smoke, and fog, in daylight or total darkness, detects time-sensitive targets and changes on the ground that may be undetectable by Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensors.

Other aircraft have been received for world class surveillance capabilities by Nigeria, BUT IT IS HARD TO FIND MOST NIGERIAN EQUIPMENT AND WEAPONS ON INTERNET, we are more than what you see in photos or google, we are the armed forces of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria.

There is nothing along our west coast of note. Angola is not SA and is not our concern to chase your pirates there.

South Africa has ZERO security in your west coast, you are depending on Nigerian navy to save the whole of ECOWAS down to SADC your own region of influence.

Since your navy is dead on that side you abandoned for Nigeria, then Nigeria can invade South Africa from Angolan side, we don't need to stay, we just get some toxic nuclear reactor wastes and dump them on South African soil and we sail back home. Your p.eople will d.ie small by small from radiation.

Even Liberia can drop ebola virus into the air on South Africa's west coast, where you have zero naval presence because you think you are safe.

Fools !

Pirates in Angola are your SADC pirates, they hijack European ships in your waters, they shifted there because you were patrolling Mozambiques side on the west, your one-eyed navy cannot watch two opposite sides at the same time, them pirates struck where you were not patrolling.

Your navy is a failure in peace time, and a waste of the billion dollar loan you borrowed from banks to buy submarines that have zero use to you today and maybe for ever !

Mumu nation, Somali pirates have wisely shifted from your west side to your east side of Angola, dribbling you as in Tom & Jerry


"Piracy does not currently present a problem within South African territorial waters; however, the country has become increasingly concerned about such acts since December 2010 when Somali pirates launched their southernmost successful attack, hijacking a Spanish fishing trawler, the Vega 5, and her 24 crew inMozambique waters (Mwangura 2012). This shift in activity southwards led to a recognition by South Africaof the need to act to curtail the threat. Whilst the South African Navy has spoken of its preparedness to tackle this threat, criticisms have emerged about the South African naval capabilities and their ability to undertake anti-piracy missions.

In Nigeria, for instance, the navy and the maritime police need to coordinate their activities and increase collaboration – as demonstrated by the incident of the Histria Coral.

On 23 October 2013, a Nigerian maritime police unit mistook a small boat transporting Nigerian navy personnel for a pirate boat and opened fire on the vessel. Fearing the anger of the navy, the policemen locked themselves into the Histria Coral’s citadel (a safe room designed for crew members to seek protection in the event of an attack) for days before they were arrested.

HAHAHAHA

That was Nigerian police, not military....and nobody died in the shooting error.

Well, South Africa's 'experienced blue water navy' d.estroyed their own Frigate during sea training and sank it to sea bottom, k.illing many naval men...


"On 18 February 1982, while under the command of Captain de Lange, the President Kruger sank 78 nautical miles (144 km) south west of Cape Point after colliding with SAS Tafelberg in the early hours of the morning. The ship was involved in an anti-submarine exercise with another frigate, the President Pretorius that involved intricate manoeuvres around the Tafelberg. The bows of the Tafelberg impacted on the SAS President Kruger on her port side at the senior ratings’ mess, resulting in the loss of sixteen lives. A Westland Wasp helicopter, operated by 22 Squadron SAAF from the other frigate, rescued crew members from the water. "
