You know your place. Nigeria can't invade any country,with well organised and equipped army. If you still think,your armed forces are capable of moving their tanks or armoured vehicles in a cross country warfare. Stop dreaming.

Mike..ZA:
South Africans will keep taking you to school. Show any homemade Nigerian designed MRAP without outside help. South Africa manufactures a lot of them,the USA has since bought thousands of them for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let me give you a list of a few Mamba,RG41,RG31,Casspir,Mbombe,Husky and the Marauda

andrewza:
and we achvied a 30 to 1 kill rastio.

Mike..ZA:
Botswana defence can destroy all your formations,since Nigeria doesn't have harmful like Egypt,South Africa and Algeria.

NaijaPikinGidi:

A fool knows not the world beyond his nose! Why you dey answer dat yeye burger sef?

You need to see them scrambling to board Arik Air in their numbers everyday and this Mike..ZA as deluded as always sits there with his empty head stuck inside his behind talking nonsense.

Donian007: First it was about NIGERIA not having MRAPS, after you've been proven wrong you go round again with another request informed by your doubting mindset. SATISFY YOUR CURIOUSITY- PROFORCE is currently working to produce better and more advanced APVs, MRAPS, APCs, APBs.

Thiza: The link is about the world best paratroopers taking part in exercises held by South Africa in 2001 and note THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND WHO WON AGAINST THE BEST

saengine: This isn't South African, it's French. Initially designed for SA.
When SA engineers wanted to upgrade these systems they found they were too obsulete, wouldn't be financially worth it.
Would be cheaper to design a new system, and the Umkhonto programme was born.

agaugust:

liberia and sierra leone wars 12 years non-stop operations of nigerian army, navy, air force with 15,000 men plus tanks, artillery, warships, jet fighters.....this tells me to pray for your doctor to speed up the date for your total brain transplant, surgery failed to help you.

Mike..ZA:
That's a Olifant tank. South Africa is capable of building tanks. They did so with the TTD(tank technology demonstrator). YES,the are countries ahead of SA,but we lead Africa. So shut up.

chris365:

i think you should read your history books very well, cos we did it alone during the Liberian and SL war. isn't that enough proof?

OOOH "FONG KONG" FROM BEIJING

"Mr. Owojori listed other products of the plant as Armoured Cash Movement Vehicle (bullion vans of different kinds); BMC 250-10 Z (4x4) Weapon Carrier Vehicle (a multi-purpose armoured vehicle); and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (BM 350-16Z [4x4] MRAP)."

Mike..ZA:
I will keep telling you this,Nigeria has never fought any "stand alone war",which will reflect the true state of your armed forces. In Liberia and sierra leone,you were standing ground with ECOMOG forces. And when I say "stand alone" I mean like SA in CAR,without any foreign backers or organisations.

agaugust:

south africa has never built a tank and no plans to build one yet. that tank in @THIZA's post is NOT a south african made tank, it is british made, you just upgraded it, simple.

would you like to argue about olifant tank so that i can publicly white-wash you today ? give you some embarrassments ? get it ?

souldust: @henry, thanks for the indept and insightful analysis you gave concerning my question on the culture of a people in relations to their secret services. I am looking forward to hearing from @agaugust and @andrewza. @snydergp is one person i would like to hear from concerning this matter.

Just curious @henry, did you listen to the documentary?

Mike..ZA:
South Africa doesn't need main battle tanks,but some "experts" are saying we need them for deterrent purposes. We can just buy a fleet of wheeled IFVs like the Badger and the RG41. And are the German Leopard 2 tanks still being manufactured,cause it is the favourite for project Aorta.

chris365:

i haven't been to both but judged from the amount of foreign military personnel that enrolled in both. and we have always shown to know what we are doing. even you can't deny it.
