please dont drag us back to this your foolish G7 or G6 artillery long range, i have posted this topic and analysed it till i got tired....you guys make me feel like exiting this forum because you just keep repeating the same foolish arguments.

nigerian artillery ranges 24km same as the best american and russian artillery. the extra long range of south african artillery is 90% useless in war because you will not see what you are hitting in the far away next town, maybe your artillery shells are landing in cassava farms grin

fool grin
I have proven to you that the G5,G6,T5 and G7 can take out your anti craft system on the ground,from distances ranging from 30km to 70km. Now prove to me how your armed forces,can destroy such systems with your "limited air capabilities".

At
least 35 people have been killed in two separate
gun battles between Nigerian security forces and
Islamist sect Boko Haram in northeast Borno
state, the army said on Monday.
Boko Haram, which wants to
impose sharia law in Nigeria's
north, and other spin-off
Islamist groups have become
the biggest threat to stability in
Africa's top oil exporter.
In mid-May, President Goodluck
Jonathan declared a state of
emergency and launched an
offensive against the group in
its stronghold in the northeast. The insurgency
was initially weakened but remains active and is
stretching the army.
Boko Haram gunmen on Sunday attacked a police
base in Bama, a town close to the Cameroon
border that has been frequently hit by violence in
recent months.
"Troops have successfully repelled Boko Haram
terrorist attacks on a police base in Bama ... on 4
August," said military spokesman Sagir Musa.
Musa said one policeman and 17 members of
Boko Haram were killed during the fighting, while
two soldiers were injured.
He said four trucks, three motorbikes, dozens of
explosive devices, three rocket-propelled
grenades, 10 AK-47 rifles and over 100 rounds of
ammunition were recovered from the Islamists.
Boko Haram members also attacked a military
base in the town of Malam Fatori, triggering a gun
battle that left two soldiers and 15 of its members
dead, Musa said.
Nigerian police and military often play down their
losses and those of civilians, security sources say.
Boko Haram launched its insurgency in 2009 and
has become increasingly sophisticated, learning
bomb-making techniques from al Qaeda-linked
militants in the Sahara to the north of Nigeria.
Civilian vigilantes have sprung up to help Nigerian
forces identify and arrest Boko Haram members
but there are concerns among some northeast
residents and security experts that the spread of
vigilantes could further break down law and
order.
Five people died in clashes on Sunday between
two such vigilante groups over control of the
town of Biu in Borno state, witness Suleiman
Barka told Reuters by phone.
Nigeria began last week withdrawing some of its
1,200 troops from Mali to support security
operations at home.
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Msauza(m): 3:30pm On Aug 07, 2013
@Agaugust- I see you are confidently making uniformed assertions that South Africa has never produced any manned war plane. The whole world know that Atlas Cheetah was produced in South Africa and not in France even though it bears resemblance of Mirage fighter jet. Tell me did Atlas Cheetah fall from heaven? The answer is a big NO. Atlas Cheetah is proudly South African product and was developed from scratch on South African soil. Who tells China that their products does not belong to them, because the world know that China survive by copying products from other countries. China has even stole many of South Africas weapons and design them as their own where they have even tried to copy Rooivalk.

The AHLAC is another SA made recce and war plane developed in South Africa, irrespective of who assisted where. Nigeria has never even tried anything nor even to copy design of any plane.

With respect to the G5 and G6 Artillery guns those are designed to hit targets at long ranges not to hit your cassava farms. Those Guns are intended to destroy your military establishment by the simple use of coordinates on the map and those guns are very accurate at the normal weather, with the gun is set at the right coordinates, it will take out the target by more than 80% chances. Moreover the G8 are meant to scatter your troops in disarray until our infantry launches offensive to finish off the job from army that is already disorganised.

show me war history where armies fighting each other were 70km apart and made progress in the war.

armies close in on each other and battle for control of the ground, not stand off 70km G6 artillery range away from each other.

dont drag us back many pages on this forum. south african airforce jets will fall to nigerian army 300 Roland SAM anti-aircraft missiles, Bofors radar guided anti-aircraft missiles, and the new Type 90 anti-aircraft and anti-missile artillery air defences, and the new Akash SAM superb 35km range anti-aircraft missiles we are planning to buy from india.

please go back many pages, dont waste our time with your fairy tale stories here grin

the Decisive Battle
On 2 October the South African Recces reported
that 47 Brigade had managed to construct a
wooden road across the marshes which were
blocking their retreat to the Lomba River. Trucks,
missile carriers, armoured cars and tanks were
busy assembling at the treeline, preparing to
make an orderly retreat across the road.
The Recces watched from their vantage points in
nearby trees and called in artillery fire on Fapla
while the SADF combat groups worked furiously
to get ready and into position.
The first Fapla vehicles to try to cross were Soviet
Sam-9s. One crossed to safety but the Recces
guided artillery fire onto the second as it tried to
cross, destroying it and effectively blocking the
bridge. The Fapla troops sent a T-55 tank to try
and move it out of the way, but without success.
Every time Fapla tried to make a move the Recces
would call in highly accurate artillery salvoes. For
48 hours without sleep or rest the Recces stood
guard over Fapla's escape route, calling in artillery
fire at the slightest movement, until at last they
heard the distant rumble that announced the
arrival of the armoured cars of 61 Mechanised
Battalion.
The Ratels of 61 Mech had a variety of
armaments, from infantry carriers with 20mm
guns to the tank-busting 90mm gun. Unita
troops had by now positioned themselves to the
south-east of 47 Brigade in case they tried to
break away in that direction.
Fapla artillery began to bombard the
approaching Ratels and Migs flew overhead to
lend support and cover 47 Brigade's escape. The
Ratels went in to attack. Fapla, accustomed to
seeing Unita beat a hasty retreat whenever their
tanks appeared, tried the same tactic and sent
their tanks towards the SADF positions. To their
dismay the South Africans' reaction was the exact
opposite - they attacked. The Ratels raced for the
tanks, surrounding them and dodging back and
forth until they could get behind them and shoot
at the comparatively vulnerable rear ends of the
tanks.
Major Laurence Maree, second-in-command of 61
Mech, later told the British journalist and author,
Fred Bridgland:
"I can't tell you how much courage it takes in a
Ratel driver and gunner when a tank is charging
towards them to summon up the will to stop still
for long enough to stabilise their firing platform
and get their round off. [Unlike a T54/55 tank,
which has built-in stabilisers and can fire on the
move, a Ratel, like other armoured cars, can only
fire from a static position]. Of course, as soon as
they'd fired, off they sprinted like Turbo-charged
hares. One of our guys died that afternoon facing
down a T-55 in his Ratel. A 100mm shell from the
tank skipped up from the sandy ground and went
right through the turret. The Ratel commander,
Lieutenant Hind, was terribly wounded and he
died later. We had two others very seriously
wounded that day, and another three with light
wounds. The medics just pulled the shrapnel out
of those who were slightly hurt, cleaned up the
wounds, and they went straight back into
combat." (1)
The Fapla troops, although outgunning the South
Africans and outnumbering them 4 to 1, began to
lose their nerve and one of the battalions
suddenly made a break towards the river. They
streamed across the open grassland towards the
river in an undisciplined mob and the South
Africans brought down MRL fire and high-
explosive mortar shells on them. A second
battalion also broke and ran for the river, with the
Ratels chasing them. Approximately 100 vehicles
were now jostling to try and reach the bridge by
way of the wooden road. Recces directed artillery
fire from the G-5s onto them, causing havoc. The
area was now a wasteland of shattered trees and
burnt grass from the shells and shrapnel from
both sides.
Migs piloted by Cubans flew some 60 sorties that
day, dropping bombs and trying to strafe the
South African positions, but they were wildly
inaccurate and had little effect.
Fapla tanks made an effort to recover some of
the abandoned vehicles, but were themselves
destroyed by the pinpoint accuracy of the G-5
artillery fire. When the firing finally stopped at the
end of the day over 600 Fapla soldiers lay dead
on that stretch of open ground and 127 Fapla
vehicles stood destroyed or abandoned near the
river.
On the morning of 4 October the South Africans
were able to survey the remnants on the
battlefield. Recovery teams were sent in to
salvage whatever was still usable and the SADF
generals were delighted to hear that their troops
were able to salvage intact one of the Sam-8
missile systems, complete with missiles, radar and
logistics vehicles, the first example of this highly-
effective Soviet weapon ever to be captured by a
western country.

Cheetah was built from the Mirage airframe.

Wrong, not all Cheetahs were built from Dassault Mirage airframe and I quote:

Sixteen of the SAAF's 27 Mirage IIIDZ/D2Z aircraft were converted to Cheetah D standard, 16 of its Mirage IIIEZ aircraft were converted to Cheetah E standard, but no South African Mirage airframes were used for the 38 Cheetah Cs.

the Decisive Battle
On 2 October the South African Recces
reported
that 47 Brigade had managed to construct a
wooden road across the marshes which were
blocking their retreat to the Lomba River.
Trucks,
missile carriers, armoured cars and tanks were
busy assembling at the treeline, preparing to
make an orderly retreat across the road.
The Recces watched from their vantage points
in
nearby trees and called in artillery fire on Fapla
while the SADF combat groups worked
furiously
to get ready and into position.
The first Fapla vehicles to try to cross were
Soviet
Sam-9s. One crossed to safety but the Recces
guided artillery fire onto the second as it tried
to
cross, destroying it and effectively blocking the
bridge. The Fapla troops sent a T-55 tank to try
and move it out of the way, but without
success.
Every time Fapla tried to make a move the
Recces
would call in highly accurate artillery salvoes.
For
48 hours without sleep or rest the Recces
stood
guard over Fapla's escape route, calling in
artillery
fire at the slightest movement, until at last
they
heard the distant rumble that announced the
arrival of the armoured cars of 61 Mechanised
Battalion.
The Ratels of 61 Mech had a variety of
armaments, from infantry carriers with 20mm
guns to the tank-busting 90mm gun. Unita
troops had by now positioned themselves to
the
south-east of 47 Brigade in case they tried to
break away in that direction.
Fapla artillery began to bombard the
approaching Ratels and Migs flew overhead to
lend support and cover 47 Brigade's escape.
The
Ratels went in to attack. Fapla, accustomed to
seeing Unita beat a hasty retreat whenever
their
tanks appeared, tried the same tactic and sent
their tanks towards the SADF positions. To their
dismay the South Africans' reaction was the
exact
opposite - they attacked. The Ratels raced for
the
tanks, surrounding them and dodging back
and
forth until they could get behind them and
shoot
at the comparatively vulnerable rear ends of
the
tanks.
Major Laurence Maree, second-in-command of
61
Mech, later told the British journalist and
author,
Fred Bridgland:
"I can't tell you how much courage it takes in a
Ratel driver and gunner when a tank is
charging
towards them to summon up the will to stop
still
for long enough to stabilise their firing platform
and get their round off. [Unlike a T54/55 tank,
which has built-in stabilisers and can fire on
the
move, a Ratel, like other armoured cars, can
only
fire from a static position]. Of course, as soon
as
they'd fired, off they sprinted like Turbo-
charged
hares. One of our guys died that afternoon
facing
down a T-55 in his Ratel. A 100mm shell from
the
tank skipped up from the sandy ground and
went
right through the turret. The Ratel
commander,
Lieutenant Hind, was terribly wounded and he
died later. We had two others very seriously
wounded that day, and another three with
light
wounds. The medics just pulled the shrapnel
out
of those who were slightly hurt, cleaned up the
wounds, and they went straight back into
combat." (1)

foolish boy, is that a jet fighter ? a propeller toy reconnaissance aircraft with a few weapons for attacking Rhino poachers grin

the plastic south african 'warplane' has ancient world war II style propeller engine fan, not a jet engine grin

even seleka will shoot it down with anti-aircraft guns or shoulder held MANPAD weapon grin

the toy warplane has speed of a snail or tortoise, 504km/hr, which modern army is this toy going to attack in year 2013 ? grin

seems only one or two units of this toy exist, all we see here are 3D animated cartoon images of it grin

the thing is more of a drone with a pilot in it, ready to d.ie from enemy anti-aircraft guns in his plastic coffin/casket 'warplane' grin

nigerian F-7 jet flying at 1,500km/hr vs south african toy aircraft flying at 500km/hr , what a comedy show grin

You know what I am such a busy buddy. I cannot do everything for you everytime as if you are a high school student, because sometimes is necessary to vibrate your brain cells by just using a google search icon. Spoon feeding is not a way, anyway wikipedia is your friend.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Cheetah

I hope you will find it user friendly and discover that Cheetah C was, infact the only model of Cheetahs that was not build from Mirage airframe. This is what we have been taught ever since we joined the Airforce.

Does it hurt you to find out that actually Cheetah C is the only model that was not build from Mirage airframe.

No?

Thought so.

It's safe to say you don't know what "reconnaissance" means, if you believe that plane is useless.
