agaugust:Attending courses is not training. You can find South African officers taking courses in Nigeria, similar to how there are Nigerian officers in SA taking courses too. That's not something special or anything. I can see you trying to divert discussion, from your poorly trained and armed SF. |

agaugust:The Shilka has no CRAM capabilities. Do you want me to educate you again? At what range and altitude would it be able to engage an incoming RAM. Nigeria has no PGM. I mean even the capability to deploy them. You should sell 5 F-7 to buy PGM(s). ![]() ![]() ![]() |

EVarn: You see now I don't want to show the pic of the biggest slum in Africa, Makoko because I have manners. Moreover, I do not want to show pics of how your people eat dogs, baboons, rats, etc. Mopani worms are not eaten by the whole of SA, only a particular tribe somewhere in Limpopo near the borders of Mozambique and Zim. |

agaugust: Poland's Rosomak IFV in your own source was hit by an ordinary HE RPG-7 not Armour Piercing RPG or HEAT RPG-7 that penetrates even Main Battle Tanks that have 100mm solid steel armour. Does your Badger have the armour equal to a tank ? No ! Your own source says, it was hit by RPG-7 and does not specify, and the first one was hit on the side of the vehical. See pictures. "In early 2008 a Polish Rosomak serving in Afghanistan (the version with upgraded armor) was attacked by Taliban rebels. The vehicle was hit by two RPG-7 rockets. In June 2008 a Rosomak was attacked by Taliban and was hit in its frontal armor with a RPG. The armour was not penetrated." The RPG that penetrated the Chally 2 was not an RPG-7, it was an RPG-29 In the August attack, which occurred during an operation to arrest a leading insurgent in the town of al-Amarah, in southern Iraq, the Challenger was damaged when a Russian-made rocket-propelled grenade, known as an RPG-29, defeated the ERA and penetrated the driver's cabin. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1551418/MoD-kept-failure-of-best-tank-quiet.html And the RPG penetrated the underside of the vehicle, not the sides or the front In August 2006 in al-Amarah, an RPG-29 damaged the underside of a Challenger 2, detonating ERA in the area of the driver's cabin. The driver lost part of his foot and two more of the crew were also injured but the driver was able to reverse 1.5 mi (2.4 km) to an aid post. The incident was not made public until May 2007; in response to accusations, the MoD said "We have never claimed that the Challenger 2 is impenetrable."[17][18] Since then, the ERA has been replaced with a Dorchester block and the steel underbelly lined with armour as part of the 'Streetfighter' upgrade as a direct response to this incident. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_2 So, the Rosomak and Badger can shrug off RPG's to the side... but the BMP-2 cannot Old RPG-7 HEAT shell is built to penetrate over 500mm thick armour of steel, so even if Badger IFV has double the armour of Ratel, with 40mm thickness all round, the RPG-7 HEAT will slice through the Badger like a hot knife cuts through butter. Cool story, problem is, we have shown this to be untrue in combat As usual, your over simplification and lack of knowledge leads you to beleive that you have an argument. You dont, and never have. BMP-2 < Badger IFV

agaugust: I dont know where you get 85km/h from... since JDAM's can be dropped with speeds up to mach 1.2 he weapon can be released from altitudes as high as 50 kft, at speeds up to Mach 1.3, http://www.ausairpower.net/TE-JDAMPt1.html And the Shilka cannot target such small objects, show us one instance of a Shilka doing so. You have many wars to choose from: Syria, Libya, Iraq (twice) Shilka is obsolete rubbish that is only a threat to attack helicopters |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 9:07am On Nov 29, 2014 |
agaugust: Nope, you said you would post your "uniform" and "gun" So do it. Lol (apparently PMC's have uniforms these days, and they issue accountants guns) And you arent in the US .mil so the rest of your post is a waste of data |

Patchesagain: Soldiers from those countries are not as good because the lack the right equipment, motivation or doctrine to put all they've garned. It is also a result of non-existent or weak military structures. No country on this planet since the end of world war 2 has been in more wars than the United states military. With every conflict, the Americans note what they have learnt, tailor there doctrine and defence industry to deal with experiences gained from the field. With all their trainings, they still performed badly in Vietnam, in Iraq same thing happened before General David petreaus developed a new COIN manual to deal with the threats in Iraq. Iraq wasn't the first COIN operation they faced, as Vietnam and the invasion of Panama were also COIN operations. Actual combat experience is 100% more important than any training a soldier can receive. Don't be naive. |

Patchesagain: It was posted by a Nigerian soldier, after people requested for it. It is the only T-72B in Africa The soldier is clearly a nigerian officer with a head warmer. |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 9:31am On Nov 29, 2014 |
Henry120: So you then confirm that SANDF has experience as we have fought not only in more wars than you, but bigger and more advanced ones. And you yourself admit that it is not individual experience, but institutional experience that is important. If a soldier does not know how to do his job (because he was not properly trained) why would he suddenly learn his job and be better at his job because he was deployed? Training is more important than combat, this is a fact that has been known since Roman times. And the US military won in Veitnam, ya dingus. 1 Like |
