agaugust: Earth observation sats lacks the resolution to conduct reccon. Their images are not detailed enough to distinguish small objects like Tanks, SAM installations etc. Off all the Earth observation Sats that are orbiting the Earth, name me one that has used for Reccon. |

Henry120:14 Pilots. NAF has 2 pilots for 11 F-7s |

agaugust:Augastine, I suggest you see a psychologist, you obviously feel inferior towards the white race, thus you act out by posting racially abusive posts to make your self feel better because you are not white. I understand the truth hurts, but you must understand that im only trying to help you my mate!!! |

Henry120: You are entitled to your opinions. Not holding my breath for sources. We have more pilots than you have radios for your rag-tag army! |

Henry120: Then, it does not make sense that nine pilots can take 14 fighters up in the sky on rotational bases leaving out 12 in storage. |

mzilakazi: It does not make any sense that 14 pilots can take 26 fighters up in the Sky. Are you guys now denying you purchased 26 Gripen fighters? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:00pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
agaugust: Nah!!! they are not the same. All your satellites do not have the latest technology called SAR which can penetrate through the cloud, thick bushes and trenches/ bunkers. Your satellites can only penetrate through the clouds but cannot see BH in thick bushes and in their hiding underneath the earth in bunkers. Your satellites are just ordinary sir. |

jln115: How many Gripens does SAAF have? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 9:03pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
PatriotZAR: You are leaving in a fool's paradise. Your Airforce is a total sh1t hole. You had better dissolve the entire service, instead of going around claiming you have one. The SAAF lacks everything. From pilots, to fuel, Aircrafts....... everything. 2 Likes |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:04pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Henry120: Simple maths tells me that 14 + 12 fighters in storage = 26. The remaining 12 fighters as shown above are rotated on schedule. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:08pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Henry120: Before SANDF can ever think of dissolving their air arm of service, Nigeria should have dissolved theirs long time ago. The challenges that SAAF are facing are just a drop in an ocean compared to avalanche of troubles facing NAF. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 9:09pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
PatriotZAR: Prove it, you have image quality technical specs of all earth observation satellites in the world? . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 9:11pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
mzilakazi: Simple maths didn't tell you, you bought 26 planes, and half are only now grounded because you lack the funds and pilots to fly them. The SAAF has only 18 Air crew members. 17 C models 9 D models. 9 pilots and 9 navigators. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 9:13pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
mzilakazi: Nigeria's 4th satellite is the latest technology in the whole world, it penetrates clouds and detects very small vehicles, we have posted that source and detail here 3 times in the last 6 weeks, so don't ask me to repeat it. Then no satellite can penetrate a concrete bunker you Soweto fool ! . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 9:18pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
mzilakazi: Let's us see the challenges. The SAAF, Has it's entire A109 fleet grounded Only has 3 C-130's for an area of 1.2 km Has only 10 half-french helicopters for an area of 1.2 km It lacks Avaition fuel The service only has 9 pilots for 26 planes. The service flies 56 years old Daks for MP duties It lacks funds. It also has half it's Gripen fleet in storage. Is this service worth keeping afloat? 1 Like |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:19pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Henry120: Still, it does not add up to 14 gripens that SAAF kept in the sky. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 9:22pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
mzilakazi: Yes, 9 Gripen pilots do not add up to 26 SAAF Gripens. The least should be 26 Gripen pilots for 26 jets, After 15 freaking years. In 15 years from now, you still wouldn't have had enough pilots for your 26 Gripen jets. In 2029 the SAAF would have 18 Gripen pilots for 26 planes, and in 2044, 26 Gripen pilots for 26 planes. The SAAF needs 45 years to train 26 Gripen pilots. |

Henry120: All those challenges you mentioned above are just a drop in an ocean compared to avalanche of troubles haunting NAF. SA does not have any financial crisis per se, it has more financial muscle than Nigeria. If it can come to a push that SANDF can face challenges that Nigerian Armed Forces are facing now, it will even vote more budget thee times bigger than what NAF is getting now. It is just a matter of focus that SA government does not consider defence for now. |

mzilakazi: Sorry, your Russian masters who built your small satellite says it's civilian grade .

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:30pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Henry120: It seems as if you do not understand English or you deliberately playing dumb to escape your arrest. SAAF has only 12 gropen fighters that need to be rotated per schedule. Now, 26-12 =14, meaning SAAF had capacity to keep fourteen gripen fighters up in the sky |

agaugust: Chief, the kondor E sat build for SA is military sat as reported yesterday in the news. It has the ability to observe and penetrate the earth, trenches, thick bushes, bunker and even land mines. Moreover, it is using SAR, a feature that is not a factor in civialian earth observation satellites. The kondor E sat weighs about 1200kg which can never be a small sat. Your source is lost!! 1 Like |

mzilakazi: The SAAF bought 26 Gripen jets. What you choose to do with them is your problem, apparently, you've chosen to lock half of them in a freezer. The above aside, the SAAF should ordinarily have 26 pilots for her 26 planes after 15 whole years. Instead, we now have to wait for 45 years to see the full complement of SAAF Gripen pilots. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:49pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Henry120: Why 15 years? Our gripens do not have 15 years. Do not count the time during when the arms deal started. Count from when the first delivery was made. You must remember, Jets are not as simple as buying cars and get drivers thereafter. It takes time to develop one single jet and to produce pilots to fly them. One jet cockpit is totally different from another jet. Hence, there is no single Nigerian today who can fly a fourth generation fighter. SA has way more than 9 pilots as you say. All nine pilots are qualified and as well approved by SAAB to serve as instructors and train other pilots. SA gripen pilots are the best instructors under SAAB, this leaves no doubts why SAAB chose SA to build their flying school with SA pilots as instructors for gripen user countries. |

Henry120: Understanding English pose very difficult challenge for Nigerians. Well, I understand that your English is pidgin, a broken English as it can be well understood. 12 gripen fighters are not in cold freezer, so to speak. They are temporarily stored on hangers for their turn to come and rotated with another 12 gripen fighters which need to cool down. That's what we call rotation. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 10:21pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Henry120:You know how many we have. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 10:43pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Henry120: NAF purchased 12 F-7s in 2005, and could only manage to train 2 pilots in 9 years. Thus it will take NAF 54 years to train 12 pilots for the 12 F-7s. Its a shame, but true! |

PatriotZAR: South African deceased were repatriated back on a chartered cargo plane to Johannesburg! Ask for proof and you'll get it instantly from me! No aviation fuel for your airforce because you cannot afford it! Period!!! |

agaugust: You are lost, you don't know how the flying hours work. I will teach you when I have time and I will not expect you to boast thereafter that you taught us how do flying hours work. I will give you free lectures. |
