i know @patches and @greengold or wateva dey call themselves will have something to say but it never mattered to me . if we can list how many current conflicts happening in africa(from poachers to rebels to terrorism) the south african defence industry should be raking in arms contract like the angolans, nigerians algerians did with oil yrs back.. not just listing a few hundred missiles sold.
please i need answers from level headed southies why this is.

He is probably taking a rest, blowing off steam.

I long ago accepted the price of national development is a long running LIC with AS or rather their foreign backers. As sad as it is to say while this wasn't a near total fvuckup like El adde you win some you lose some-thats war!
My own info has 30 kdf kia with 70 AS dead. Rmbr these are better and smarter than the previous fighters who mainly got KIA or surrendered.

Henry240:


If all the C-130s are brought back, our total operational fleet would be 6 C-130s. If we add the G-222s it would be 11.

However, if we plan on getting the CN-235, it would mean that the G-222s would soon be retired.

Another thing is, do we plan on replacing the DO-228s?

All Nigerians in here supporting this nonsense should just stop it!!!!!! The Nigerian Military does not have the military might to take on all these countries...Hell, we may not even win a war against our neighbors chad!!!! We need to humble ourselves and slowly rebuild our capacity and not run around bragging!!!

jakeporeshenko:

To me the DO-228s are already being replaced with king Airs at least unofficially in terms of roles assigned.

Who would want to go to M7? Kenya? No ways.

when others are talking about being Africa hegemonies,alqaeda and ISIS are thriving in this continent,even china,Russia and America as they tussle over who is going to be the world hegemony .alqaeda and ISIS continue to control more regions of this world

Btw all you admiring the Senegalese a question: have you considered basic Naij/Senegal interoperability? If Jammehs guys resisted how would Ecomog have communicated assuming their radios were compatible? Some years back French observers on a Russian ship had to talk via sat phones cause of this issue?!
Also language. How many Naij speak French? How many Senegalese speak English? Imagine if the SBS had to call the Senegalese for night time support if a fire fight broke out at the palace!?

Talking about drunk in love guys and selfie guys, can somebody give it to RSA

PS: I won't even reply your mention.

Kauk:

Dayo, the reason why you can't find pictures of Nigerian soilders posing with civilians, is because most of them are bunch of unprofessional armed thugs.
Code and ethics in the Nigerian military is dead, the best human rights violators in West Africa are in the Nigerian military.

This is one of such.

Henry240:


All the 4 units of King Airs we have in service are currently rigged with ISR pods.

The DO-228s are deployed in Medevac and light transport role.

The King Air, ISR and light transport. Different roles, so which would be deployed for Medevac?

GreenandGold:


I wanted to know why Kenya and Swaziland use the same camouflage ... Do they buy it from you or?


Pic 1 : Swaziland

Pic 2 : Kenya

africaken254:
those china made WZ-551 APC's are useless,they dont even have run flat tires

GreenandGold:


You struggled with a less conventional force using Toyotas, I think I know more than enough.

Henry240:
Nigerian Navy SBS

Henry240:
@Airborne360 is the Air Force planning on bringing back the C-130s in Lagos?

I see that the original camouflage has been changed to grey, while the engines now have a red apron covering them.


Please any insights on your end?

It's not the 1st time Nigeria has worked with the Senegalese. We worked with them in most ECOMOG engagements including training missions. And as Henry said the Nigerian military are surprisingly quite multilingual.
