Oh and P.S before you get carried away. The SA pic was not a funeral. That was a pic of the bodies arriving at Waterkloof airforce base, from which seperate funerals with military honours were held.

Your airforce bases that your Generals use as an airport for private wedding jets. I would always say that today's SANDF is a complete mess compared to the defunt SADF that had quality, SANDF has lost a lot of good experienced brains that would have trained your younger soldiers. I respect the defunct SADF although I abhor its apartheid setup not these jokers like @andrewza @fighterpilot who say they are in the military. GOOD MORNING. Meet NIGERIA POLICE DSP NGOZI CONCHITA-BRAIDE.....

[size=14pt]why nigerian navy's new Type 056 OPV will be africa's most powerful missile warship[/size]

see what china puts on ordinary 220 ton patrol boat....




every version of ultra-modern Type 056 stealth warship, either corvette, light frigate, or OPV versions built from the first to the last, all carry powerful anti-ship missiles 2 to 4 times more d.eadly in combat than all other anti-ship missiles in africa. this includes china's navy frigate version, bangladesh's navy corvette version, thailand's navy OPV version, and nigerian navy's OPV version will follow all its blood sister warships in weaponry.


these missiles include china's C-803 or YJ-83 anti-ship missile with a super long range of 300km. the second missile that follows far behind is the Exocet anti-missile block MM40 Block 2 for algerian and south african navies valour frigates with range of just 72km. the nigerian built warships become 4 times more d.eadly in sea battle.

the chinese have already transferred the full technology of this modular multi-role stealth warship to nigeria, and 70% of the ship will be built in nigerian naval dockyard in lagos posted recently on this thread. nigeria will lead all africa in naval warship power next year 2014.

the Type 056 flexible role warship is designed, built, armed and equipped specially by china with the aim to defeat the great american navy in the south china sea if war happens. it is expected to be china's last hope of defense against america's powerful US Navy.

nigerian navy will have 2 of these modular flexible role multi-purpose warship in full service next year 2014.

each of the two nigerian warships will be 1,800 tons and 95m each.

new commandment on nairaland : "thou shall no longer post NNS ARADU or NNS THUNDER on this forum"

who will dare to mount a naval blockade against nigeria when this ships enter service ? egypt, south africa, algeria ?

which africa country will sail its frigate warship valour or 'valouristic' into nigerian EEZ zone to mount any s.tupid naval blockade, running away from nigerian army's massive coastal artillery firepower and sit down 100km away from nigerian coast, when sudden d.eath is knocking the door of the enemy warships with nigerian C-803 anti-ship missiles ?

Those who sit in their huts to underestimate MOTHERLAND NIGERIA does so at their own peril.

saengine:

You mean to say....YOU made the navy run away by simply typing on your computer that they ran away. It was YOUR simulation created in your mind, but you talk as if it happened in real life. Sick ward is missing a patient.

Does that mean @Andrewza and @Fighterpilot were also sick? Then I think it is your comrades that even need to see a phsychiatrist for the unbelieveable and poor attack simulation their dead brains effected with their dead computers.

Does Nigeria have those missiles? Building the boats does not guarantee you'll get the missiles. The only weapons the Nigerian Navy has listed so far are the 76mm and 30mm guns. Wait for any official from Nigeria stating you will get them, otherwise you dont have them. Or show us the weapons log showing a purchase. Otherwise this is just a wish list. So post this rubbish in 2014 when if you have proof. Also show us how many navies have armed their ships with this missile....which is going to have production cancelled probably.

Seeing its believing show case world beater weapons not weapons that can be built in a workshop...paste pictures of these weapons as I have done...AK 47 IS RUSSIAN and is manufactured in over 100 countries, RPG 7 IS RUSSIAN manufactured through out the world....show me the Nigerian Stealth warship,SPY ballons etc....I have seen the Drone...

South African Cruise missile

The Kentron MUPSOW (MUlti-Purpose, Stand-Off Weapon) is a multi-purpose, surgical-strike weapon, designed to neutralize enemy targets such as airfields, bunkers and command-and-control centres at stand-off ranges. Pinpoint accuracy is achieved by using an advanced navigation and terminal guidance technology (data link, choice of TV, IIR or MMW seekers). The airframe is made out of composites, powered by a turbojet.

The Mupsow is a South African development on which Kentron has been working under contract from the Air Force since 1991, with unpowered flight tests commencing in 1997. The MUPSOW is thought to be an extension of the H2 stand-off weapon program. It is not known if Mupsow has entered SAAF service.

Weapon Stats:
Range: 150 km, 93 miles

Length: 4.92 m, 16.14 ft

Width: 1.9 m, 6.23 ft

Weight: 400 kg, 882 lb

Contents: Anti-runway submunitions; Unitary warhead; Bunker penetrator

well if you are mentally okay, i will answer you. video of the stealth guided missile frigate and weblink thatsays nigeria is building it are on top of this page.

spy balloon, remote control bomb detonating robot, and unmanned land drone USV photos have not been released to public by nigerian army, probably because they are all in war zone use now in mali and northern nigeria as the nigerian army says. a nation at war is very careful about public details of its new war weapons not known to the rest of the world. no country at war will give away delicate military information or photos just to foolishly prove a point to some south africans on nairaland.

any south african who does not understand that or still not satisfied with my answer...has a mental problem or is choking to death with envy and shock producing epilepsy.

nigerian military level has changed on this thread from what it was wrongly shown to be on pages 1 to 12.

anybody who is not happy should graduate from sudden shock level to full blown epilepsy.

i dont want to insult you.


you want me too to claim nigeria has 120km range missile to hit south african army just because we are testing them at epe area lagos rocketry project development station ? nigerian long range missile epe is also of unknown status like south african cruise missiles you have been posting.

south africa has no money to build cruise missiles when you cannot even maintain more than 6 to 14 Gripen jets out of 26.

I QUOTE :

"The status of the program is unclear. The program may have been halted due to funding problems."

thanks, but all those south african Rooikat or Ratel armoured vehicles, Olifant Tanks and MRAPS will be wiped out by nigerian army T-72 BM tanks, or Vickers MK3 tanks or Swingfire Anti-tank guided missiles.

you have weapons, we too have weapons, that fact should be clear to all you south africans by now, this is page 500 of this thread.

see sample of nigerian swingfire anti-armour guided missile below.

the south african shipyard that built your SAS Drakensberg naval transport/cargo ship has closed down and died.

nigerian naval dockyard lagos building the first made in africa guided missile stealth warship in africa is still alive and growing faster daily.

Nigerian navy NNS Thunder's 76mm gun or NNS Siri and NNS Ekun will use Exocet ships to sink south african lone ranger SAS Drakensberg in the waters of ivory coast.

i am tired of talking to your dumbo self, go argue war with boy scouts or border patrol immigration officers. good night.

The company closed down. The ship yard has a new owner. The strike craft(of the 4 3 were built in sa) were refurbeshed at the same dock yard.


Since when is that a guided missiel stealth warship.

We were makeing ships in SA for nigeria. So please our idustry makes yours look like a back yard sheeben.

@AGAUGUST do what you do best and insult...Now you have become South Africa's Budget Minister and you know well what we are capable of....Putting Gripens on a long term storage is to save money and reduce unnecessary expenditure, This also goes to 42 G6 BEING OPERATIONAL WHILE THE REST ARE IN A LONG TERM STORAGE....SOME UNITS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO SAVE COST.

Research on military projects continues and and some had their budgets increased...SHAME IF YOU THINK THE SANDF IS FALLING INTO PIECES AS YOU MANY NAIRAS SUGGEST.

The point of contention is that Nigeria is nowhere near SANDF IN TERMS OF TRAINING, WEAPONS, STANDARD OF PROFESSIONALISM.....COME AND INSULT

NaijaPikinGidi:

You South Africans like to feel good about nothing! What difference does your "warship" make amongst other fishing boats when your spineless SANDF soldiers could not dare to step boots on Ivorien shores? Meanwhile Nigeria as usual was busy calling the diplomatic shots on the ECOWAS and UN levels and applying necessary pressures on Gbagbo to hand power to the duly elected President Alassane Ouattara. Nigeria's recognition of President Ouattara's election contrasts with South Africa's support for defeated Mr. Gbagbo.

Curiously, while South Africa continues to proudly support tyrants/dictators (Gbagbo and Ghaddafi) on the continent, clearly Nigeria has continued to make the right moves in the interest of democracy. Nigeria has where/when necessary deployed our military might to ensure stability in areas of conflict and instability on the continent. So far we have not failed or lost our missions!!

Poor SANDF ... more practice with Seleka will make them perfect someday!

Mr. Mike..ZA kindly tell us the main mission of the ship to Ivory Coast?

We did not interven due to france. They still to strong for us.

NaijaPikinGidi:

And your "eye raising" weapons have not won South Africa and SANDF any wars even against such rag-tag and lowly rebel fighters like Seleka. No doubt your troops will need "beauty eye-liners" to nicely model their weapons in front of Seleka "cameras" while our soldiers train their eyes on enemy targets with weapons proudly made for them by them!

Our weapon manufacturing and use is internally focused. That's how we roll!

We never lost a battel in angola and we gave seleka a bloody nose. 15 dead vs 800 dead.

chris365:

sorry you used the wrong scenario as example. we have been involved in conflicts even before independence till 2013, so we can give you examples of our capabilities till date.

i can bet that 90% of men that fought during the bush war are now retired or acting as advisers.

we are talking of SANDF of today that is a mixture of ex militants that became senior officers. thereby bringing their unprofessional and below par method of running your military. proof is CAR where you were too scared to retaliate ... i trust 9ja for that one. cos we know what would have happened.

SANDF of now is the dead version of SADF, and no matter the weapons you build, it is the ability of the men to use them that counts. even kenya will wipe SANDF with ease.

Resaon we could not retailt at CAR was 3 one we follow orders. Zuma never gave the goahead. France controled the airport and fomac did not want a intervenstion. The genrail did fly a infantry battlion and airsuport close at hand if the order came.

agaugust:

nigerian army sagaie armourded vehicle does not have to face south african rooikat in combat. weapons dont go looking for counterpart in battlefield like a bachelor looking for his soulmate.

rooikat can meet nigerian vickers tank or just a single nigerian soldier with swingfire anti-tank guided missile and the rooikat is doomed to be d.estroyed. anything can meet anything in war zone, no neat arrangement...its confusion and destruction mixed together.

The rooikat could easyly take out a vikers tank. Swingfire may do the trike but a 76mm he round can take out the entier AGM team.

Since when is that a guided missiel stealth warship.

We were makeing ships in SA for nigeria. So please our idustry makes yours look like a back yard sheeben.

nigerian navy has over 350 warships and boats, 95% built outside africa. show me source of how many nigerian navy vessels were built in south africa for combat purpose.

show me any warship in the same class of nigerian built type 056 stealth guided missile warship made in nigerian navy dockyard lagos, show me what you built in south africa that can match that...show me now !

that nigerian OPV is a guided missile warship since the day your nightmares began. your nightmares will even get worse now. i have posted the missile fact i have been keeping for the past one month. i was waiting for this thread to reach page 500 to post it as nigerian celebration of this great thread/topic.

write all the rubbish, lies and falsehood you want about the nigerian Type 056 warship, no nigerian will listen to you or believe you, only your fellow south africans will follow you to produce lies and say DSTV movie satellite is south african military spy satellite...where your generals watch terminator and predator hollywood series.


go hug electricity transformer if nigerian navy sea power annoys you...we know you are the king of liars

agaugust:

nigerian army armoured vehicles are active in service.

you should ask yourself why 75% of south african army olifant tanks and rooikat armoured vehicles are kept in long term storage according to your army sources released information.

Do you have proof that all nigerian AFV are active.

Because 75% of our armour batlions are reserve force battlions.

You only have a few warships. Most of your navy is boats. Nigeria has a lot of waterways to patrol. SA has none.


You mean a OPV that you don't know what it will be armed with? A opv that will be mostly built out side of nigeria. Please it no threat. Any case I would take our 1970s strike craft over it. And our project biro boats will be built in durban.

andrewza:

Do you have proof that all nigerian AFV are active.

do you have proof that they are not active ? NO you dont. so sharaaap !!!

@AGAUGUST you have reduced yourself to a propagandist proof is what its needed that Nigeria Navy has 350 warship....show it and stop thump sucking

agaugust:

post total south african military numbers with source. if you add south african army reserves, i will add nigerian NSCDC men trained by, and working with nigerian army special forces.

so let us quote only regular army, navy, air force personnel numbers with source. total numbers.

lets see who has superior manpower and by how many times more.

ISS 2011. Go buy it.

agaugust:

could you post for us the type of weapons south african army had in CAR seleka combat, R4 rifles, GPMG, RPG, mortars etc...lets know the list. i asked for a good reason.

Assult rifels(r4 may have been the odd r1 or even AK)
Mgs were SS77, PKMs, 12,7mm mg(12000 rounds)
Support wepaons were 60mm patrol morta, 81mm morta(200 bombs), 107mm mrls(60 rockets) and RPGs

I suspect there would have been 40mm mgls. It was not menstioned but is a secstion based wepaon
If you want I can give vechicle list.

nigeria does not have few warships, NNS ARADU, NNS THUDER 1, NNS THUNDER 2, NNS ERIONMI, NNS SIR, NNS EKUN, are all missile armed warships except THUNDER 1 & 2, NNS AMBE is landing ship armed, NNS ORUE & NNS BARAMA are minesweepers armed, NNS TYPE 056 1 & 2 are coming, NNS TIGRE CLASS CLONE 1 & 2 are coming and all 4 are modern stealth guided missile OPV's.

now that is not a small navy it is one of the biggest in africa rival to algeria, south africa, and egypt.

@andrewza...go jump into the sea with a 200kg stone hanging on your neck....nigerian navy is powerful and a great threat to all rivals in africa. go die in the sea if you dont like the truth !

this is american army in afghanistan.

agaugust:

do you have proof that they are not active ? NO you dont. so sharaaap !!!

Have they been used in a deployment or major training exersize. When was the last time any body saw a T55.

@AGAUGUST show us the proof that Nigeria possess a lethal firepower....or just swallow your pride and accept that South Africa is better than your Defence force. You were denying that South Africa has cruise missiles and when a roof was presented, you shifted goal posts and that money has dried up for such projects.

Such a deduction on your part indicates a lack of debate and what is positive? Many attempts were shown by you that Nigeria was the best but however many of your comments were either a wish list that cannot be achieved or glorifiying foreign made weapons than show casing your own products.

The praising of Egypt form your part is an attempt to further reduced the SANDF than admitting its capacity. How on Earth can you compare a self sufficient army wich relies on its budget to conduct its own operations with Egypt that relies on a 1,5 Billion USD aid to sustain its military capacity.

Blowing hot air and rubbishing South Africa wont nullifiy the SANDF superiority over Nigeria....
