I REPEAT NIGERIA IS FAR BEHIND SOUTH AFRICA IN ECONOMY, MILITARY, TECHNOLOGY, DEVELOPMENT, HEALTH ETC.....NOTE SOUTH AFRICA HAS CRUISE MISSILE AND STAND OFF WEAPONS.....COME AND INVADE AND ATLEAST PREPARE FOR WATER GRAVERY. the taste of the pudding is in the eating....evidence and nothing more...SHAME

south africa has no operational cruise missile or long range stand-off missile. i dont want to insult you today, i would have called you a F00L, but no, i wont insult you today, i am in a good mood. all the cruise missiles you posted in that photo album do not exist in south african military service. nigeria too is developing long range missiles in epe lagoon coastland of lagos with range already at 120km posted many times on this forum, you build your own, we build our own, simple.

where were you when @andrewza/@fighter pilot your two south african soldiers who were disgraced by a nigerian civilian boy named Augustine ? when they confirmed that the only stand off weapons in service with south africa are paveway and umbani guided bombs, the s.tupid slow 35km bombs that i shot down here with nigeria's new/modern Type 90 high velocity air defence computerized guns that also shoots down cruise missiles.


the best naval dockyard in africa is in lagos nigeria, our navy repairs any size of ship, and we are building 70% of the first guided missile stealth warship in the whole of africa with full technology transfer to nigeria for ever, south africa has not achieved that. go sit down. every country has its own area of strength and focus/specialization according to urgent needs

@agaugust I am guessing that the modular hull (weapon platform)is what we are building,we get to decide the weapons and systems onboard,so we can adapt as we see fit.

saengine:

1. What right amount of power does IGIRIGI pack?
2. Nigeria does not produce any SAM's
3. You have not shown us any images of spy balloons. You've shown us a computer generated image of a concept that could have been drawn by anyone. For example , the so called spy balloon in that image is communicating with a western european jet. Either a mig or sukhoi. Why not put F7 or Alpha jets If that image has anythhing to do with Nigeria
4. Even though Nigeria is trying, nothing built in that country completely from scratch exceeds any pre determined world standards.

*If the army mounts a 12.7mm HMG on that baby, won't it be the right amount?

*Development, under-development, my compatriot @aguagust months ago showed images of test firing of nigerian made SAM.

I also pasted a link( a link with a report made in 2010) from the nigerian space research and propulsion center. With the article stating that nigeria had so far tested 7 SAM's.

* for the spy ballons, even if we haven't shown any real-images, we have provided links with nigerian generals stating the capabilities of the spy balloon, and the fact that it had already been used in actual counter-insurgency warfare.

What is a balloon? It is simply an hydrogen filled balloon with camera's which is able to send real-time imagery and video links to troops on the ground. It operates like a mini-drone, but less manoeuvrable. Simple. What else is there to know?

@agaugust I am guessing that the modular hull (weapon platform)is what we are building,we get to decide the weapons and systems onboard,so we can adapt as we sea fit.

all Type 056 warships are modular design built to perform all naval roles from OPV to multi-role Frigate, that is the standard design.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_056_corvette

nigeria is selecting choice of missile for our new chinese OPV, between french missiles or chinese missiles.

the chinese anti-ship missile is top priority, because it is the the 4 times more deadly than the south african and algerian valour frigate exocet missiles.

every type of the chine Type 056 existing from OPV type to corvette to frigate, all are armed with missiles better than valour frigate exocet missiles. only a fool will buy such expensive stealth warship and arm it with only guns in this dangerous world were criminal pirates have black market purchased short range hand held missiles to sink a naval threat.

i will do a full post on this issue maybe next week. nigerian navy says all our new warships and gunboats from shaldag to eagle class have not been decided on for type of missile choice, and extra electronics for greater than normal capabilities.

nigerian navy is under serious building up and arming up, decisions are being made very carefully to choose the best weapons and equipment.

south africa d.estroyed its own military competence the day they intergrated those guerilla and unprofessional unteachable and unchangeable half-illiterate ANC freedom fighters into its army, navy, air force. those men are natural dullards you cannot upgrade their brains.

for south african military, the only thing left now is modern weapons and their photos, nice weapons in the hands of half brain soldiers.

i said this before when i joined this forum on page 12 to 13, south african military is NOT the same again as the apartheid era, it is living on past glory now. only ignorant people keep on rating them high.

this post above will hurt their ego and pride now....watch them foam in the mouth like a man with epilepsy....

- You are confusing a SAM with a rocket. Nigeria does not produce any surface to air missiles. Nigeria only has people testing and understanding the fundamentals of rocketry. Funny thing is that even your fellow Nigerians doubt how competent you are in that 1st step. There is a massive jump from rocketry to SAM's.

About the balloons. Your Nigerian general was either drunk, lying, had no clue what he was talking about or was misquoted. Look at it this way.

- In 1972 the U.S launches the Winzen unmanned balloon to an altidude of 51.8km. This stays as the world record for 30 years..

- In 2002 the BU60-1 unmanned balloon reaches an altitude of 53km. It took 30 years to increase height by 1.2km.

- 2013 a Nigerian general claims to have a spy balloon at 84km . Institutions such as NASA keep quiet about it? Do you honestly believe that? You're smart enough not to i hope. Only balloons you have were purchased (or were going to be purchased) from Israel. And those are nowhere near 84km altitude.

when you keep quiet about what you dont know for sure, you look wise, otherwise you look foolish. if the army general lied, why not leave him with his lie and live your own life in peace instead of having high blood pressure at your age ?

Type 90 Twin-35mm Towed Anti-Aircraft Artillery


The Type 90 twin-35mm anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) is a Chinese copy of the Swiss Oerlikon GDF, one of the world’s most capable low-altitude air defence weapon systems. The weapon was designed to engage high-speed, low-flying aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and cruise missiles. A tracked self-propelled variant of this weapon has also been produced and tested but it did not enter the PLA service. The Type 90 replaced the obsolete Type 65 and type 74 twin-37mm AAA to provide field air defence for the ground forces at the division and group army level.

China imported a small number of the Oerlikon GDF twin-35mm AAA and the associated Skyguard air defence radar system from Switzerland in the 1980s. Later the weapon was produced in China locally under license as the Type 90. The Oerlikon GDF AAA system is available in three major variants: GDF-1, GDF-2 and GDF-3. It is not known exactly which model the Type 90 was based on, but it is thought to be comparable in performance to the GDF-2 developed in 1980.

Helium/hydrogen balloons have struggled to get beyond 52km for decades and decades and decades. Nigeria smashes that by 30km and the whole world keeps quiet?? Keep lying to yourself, its fine.

spy ballons have more coverage than drones, some spy up to 700km radius of enemy territory. spy balloons are more powerful than drones and much more difficult to shoot down because of very high altitudes. spy balloons can stay in air space for many weeks, but drones stay for only hours. spy balloons are like a mini-satellite far superior to drones UAV.

nigeria leads africa in the spy world for african military forces, other countries including egypt, algeria, south africa are far behind us, if we fight them, we will see them before they see us and we will maneuver with change of battle field operations.


they think nigeria is like south africa that has released photos of cruise missiles that it has not yet fully produced or put into use in their armoury.

before south africa goes to toilet, the size, shape and colour of their pooh pooh is already known and posted with photos on internet
