Fighter Pilot: Gripen jet has no combat history Valour frigate has no combat history Rooivalk helicopter has no combat history Umkhonto missile has no combat history the few tests for Umkhonto missile was against drones/UAV, not a sea skimming 6 feet above water anti-ship missile like Otomat. DENEL is avoiding testing Umkhonto against a sea skimming 6 feet on water level missile...because south african umkhonto missile will fail that test Otomat missile has many combat tests in both america and europe against a big ship and against all american navy anti-missile defences and Otomat of nigeria passed all these tests with 100% victory i just posted all these 2 weeks ago, why should i reapeat it ? go ask @andrewza and @saengine if they will be honest at least for once ant tell the truth openly. you are delaying my NAF vs SAN air to deep ocean war simulation post for today by dragging me back to posts i had spent my time writing in the past. you soweto guys are a bunch of fools . 2 Likes |

Fighter Pilot: Paveway or Umbani guided bomb is expensive too, like Roland missile. in war, objective if more important than money. Argentina used a Roland missile to shoot down two British Harrier jet bombs in Falklands war, just to achieve objective of keeping the airport runway available for Argentine air force jets to operate. your military head-thinking faculty is equal to that of a potato farmer anyway , i never said nigeria must use Roland to shoot down south african guided bombs. nigerian SAM-7 , BlowPipe SAM, and Type 90 ultra-modern anti-aircraft guns will do the job of wasting south african guided bombs before they reach target. nigerian air defence is just too solid for any african airforce to penetrate, even Egypt will lose almost all its air force if it dares to enter nigerian air defence systems....and ultar-modern Akash SAM with 35km range is also coming to join the already powerful nigerian army air defences . |

agaugust: Man, the science that they teach you in Nigeria is rotten. Was that what you were always bragging about? You clearly misled people by assuming that bombs will hang up on the same velocity until I challenged you. Perhaps, you never knew any basics about free falling objects. Who brought up 9.8m/s gravitational acceleration of falling objects? Was it me or you. This is what you have said and I quote "you failed physics in school or in air force academy. 9.8m/s is 35km/hr speed, and paveway guided bomb is that slow. umbani is also slow, just glides more than paveway, you told a big lie about its high speed...show me source that says umbani bomb has high speed, show us source now or you will be called a F00L forever" (quote closed) You have never mentioned anything that the speed will increase with time. It seems to me that you are master of all trade, you've achieved Grade A in science, you are a chartered accountant, an MBA graduate and hopefully next time you will even tell us that you have a PhD. Tell us what is it that you don't know mister? People who have achieved like you will never waste their time on military discourse nor rather reason like you do. Such people are very articulate and dominate the corporate world with intelligence. 1 Like |

Fighter Pilot: if you dont have a brain to think and do mathematics, i will help you with my own for some minutes even now your DENEL manufacturer did not give a specific speed of Umbani guided bomb because of the issues of calculating its speed complexities due to drag, air resistance, and upward-downward occasional maneuvers trying to locate a target. i repeat, Umbani speed is 35 km/h initial velocity at zero start up from rest and it may end its final velocity at that same speed of 35km/h if the guidance system does the upward-downward random swing to eliminate the gain on velocity of the first 5 seconds after which velocity no longer increases. the video at the end of reading this post. i proved my point. the only speed anyone can quote for Umbani bomb without error is the 35km/h based on minimum speed gravity can help to achieve. the maximum 80km/h speed assumes no guidance maneuver of the usual upward-downward movement that makes it to lose the speed it gains from gravity pull when coming down, then now going back upward again. the falling and rising will reduce its final speed near target possibly back to near the initial 35 km/h. i am very correct. i am still the only person that boldly used science to calculate the speed variations of a guided bomb from initial speed to final speed at 35 km/h start to about 80 km/h finish if not swinging up and down again and again, or else it ends its runs at about the same initial 35 km/h. FACT !!! show me a source that quotes the speed of Umbani....show me that DENEL source or any other source.... it is impossible to find it .

agaugust: Nigeria military has never fired any missile in their history even in practice. Who do you think they are going to defeat with such a bad record. South African hardwares always see action in Lohatla battle school with live missiles fired. How sure are you if your Rolands and Otomats are still in good condition. Missiles, especially otomats requires to be maintained atleast once a year. The question is does Nigeria know how to operate missile technology? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 10:40pm On Sep 28, 2013 |
Fighter Pilot: SAM-7 missile is very cheap too and even civilian rebels have it. BlowPipe missile is very cheap as well Type 90 AAA cannon fires cheap but deadly chinese cannon shells all these 3 nigerian air defences are cheaper by far than south african Umbani bombs.... ...bring your guided bombs and let us waste them for you sir. thanks . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by FighterPilot(m): 10:51pm On Sep 28, 2013 |
agaugust: You will waste your limited number of your missiles for something that is way cheaper to manufacture than a missile. Your poor Roland radar system will be jammed and air strike operations will be conducted only at night where your optical guidance system is irrelevant. Don't tell me about Air defence Artillery Guns which are only effective to a very low flying aircrafts and helicopters. Such we can destroy without any hesitation. |

Fighter Pilot: please stop dragging me backwards to old posts i have argued and concluded with @andrewza and others many months ago. i am getting tired of this forum for this foolish trend of repeating the same post and answering the same question 77 times in 7 weeks. some missiles last 45 years in service. missiles have storage rules that make them last long. in year 2002 Morocco's navy purchased 1970 version MM38 Exocet missiles second hand condition from France. http://portal.sipri.org/publications/pages/transfer/trade-register there is no source in the world that says military forces MUST test fire their missiles in peace time before they use them in war time, it is a matter of choice. south africa has only 17 Exocet missiles for 4 Valour warships instead of the minimum 32 required for the 4 warships. how many few Exocets are remaining now since you say south african navy have been test firing the missiles already 50% short of the numbers needed ? fool no rule says all military forces must test fire their missiles in peace time. it is a matter of choice. bring your soweto ships near lagos and let us see how they will be kissed by NNS Aradu Otomat missiles. your sailors that witness the event will narrate the story in heaven...or hell nigerian junior/senior military officers and their admirals, generals, marshals, are contantly training and retraining in America, Germany, France, India, China, Britain, Israel, Italy, etc nigerian navy has no submarine and is training for submarine combat on Pakistani navy submarines, already learning to use the weapons it does not even have yet. how much more the weapons it already has for many years ? fool only a fool like you will think that type of navy is not training to use the missiles it has on simulator or with other navies. find another story to tell, you just wasted my whole day today and i have not even started writing the new NAF vs SAN frigates air to sea combat simulation...you this foolish time waster ! . . |

agaugust: Monkeys will always become excited that they have harvested more maize in the field and only to realise later that they have been dropping all the maze on their way home. Sorry!! You've got only a single stick of sweet corn in your hand and all others you have dropped on the way home. I have been reading many of your posts and have seen how your have been lying to people. Your analysis above about Umbani guided munition is very flawed and technically unsound. I will challenge you to go and research the technology behind guided munitions, because what you are trying to analyse there is just a disgrace of yourself. I know you can do it since your MBA programme has taught you how to conduct an ethical and methodological research. |

agaugust: Exocets are temporary and SA has indicated that it will only use proudly SA made missile technology, from sea skimming, SAMs, ATGM, etc. No wonder SA is only buying a limited number of missiles and soon we will be replacing starstreaks with our own missiles. We fire our own missiles every now and then in practice. Now tell me where is Nigeria which has never fired even a single missiles on their shelves. |

agaugust: Nobody disputed the fact that Roland SAMs can shoot down fighters, even F22- Raptors can be shot by Roland. My argument though is its system is easy to beat. Drill number 1: jam its vulnerable radar system. Drill number 2: Launch your airstrikes only at night where its only active mode is dysfunctional. Is that not easy? |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by FighterPilot(m): 11:51pm On Sep 28, 2013 |
agaugust: That jet was surely shot from an optical mode of engagement, because if it was from a radar mode it would have warned the pilot long before he could land in a trap. Nobody disputed the fact that Roland SAMs can shoot down fighters, even F22- Raptors can be shot by Roland. My argument though is its system is easy to beat. Drill number 1: jam its vulnerable radar system. Drill number 2: Launch your airstrikes only at night when its only active mode is dysfunctional. Is that not easy? The drill above has proven to work and is what defeated Saddam's dense Roland Air defence system. |

Fighter Pilot: Fool that only works for Roland 1, but nigeria has Roland 2 all weather all day all night optical or radar version. "Roland 1 - This is the fair-weather daylight-only, version used by the French and Spanish armies on the AMX-30R chassis. Roland 2 - This is the all-weather version employed on the AMX-30R and Marder chassis and also as a shelter mount in either a static location or mounted on a 6x6 or 8x8 all-terrain truck. Euromissile, MaK, IBH and Blohm and Voss of Germany in 1983 proposed the Leopard 1 tank chassis as a carrier for the Roland system to appeal to those countries who already used the Leopard I tank. Nigeria acquired 16 Roland 2 systems on the AMX-30R chassis" nigerian army Roland version 2 SAM will shoot down the whole south african air force in 5 minutes, and mandela will no air force any more ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_(missile) . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by FighterPilot(m): 6:00am On Sep 29, 2013 |
agaugust: Surely, you have never seen missile before. Roland1, 2 , 3 all have the same mode of operation of engaging the target. What differs only is that one can be used in only clear whether and another during rainy and windy conditions, while the third has an extended range. All Roland system can be penetrated easily without any fuss no wonder the manufacturer also fitted it with an alternative mode of operation which unfortunately can only be operated during the day. Many countries have replaced Rolands many years ago because of its air defence instability while others retained it but supplemented it with new SAMs systems. I am not going to blame you, all Nigerians from Generals down to their privates have never fired any missiles before, no wonder you do not even know what is the difference between all weather missiles and an ordinary missile. Now, I wonder who is a fool now. 3 Likes |

Fighter Pilot: you are still the fool the Roland detailed specifications calls Roland 1 the daylight only version. it does NOT list nigerian Roland 2 as a daylight only version....simple common sense tells you version 2 is both night and day version. people dont have to write every single sentence for you to understand simple things, try use your head sometimes, when they tell you A,B,C, you should know that the next alphabets are D,E,F...unless as a fool, you cannot think outside a closed box fool of soweto, nigerian Roland 2 optical targeting works at night because it is NOT an ordinary human eye sight system, it is Electro-Optical with Infra Red night time targeting equipment computer controlled....fool QUOTE : "The ROLAND 2 weapon system is intended for anti-aircraft defence..... ROLAND ensures the overall defense of a zone of 100 sq km it, comprises a radar with a range of 16 km, a sighting-optical tube with an infra-red locator that measures the difference between the missile in flight and the line of sight of the fire control radar, and a computer antenna for remote control. After the firing, the optics remain pointed at the target, the computer generates the commands for guidance by using two different groups of measurements while adding to the result preceding the commands necessary to the correction by the real variations of the missile compared to the axis of aiming measured by the infra-red goniometer (optical mode) ." nigerian Roland SAM will shoot down the whole south african air force in only 5 minutes in day time or night time, FACT !!! Roland missile has 80% chance of hitting target confirmed in the specifications from source quoted below. QUOTE : " Surface to Air (SAM) Roland II Range maximum: 6 000 m minimal: 700 to 2 000 m according to the Ceiling Altitude, (m) 5,500 Basic load on vehicle 10 missiles (2 per launcher) Detection range, km 16.5 Reaction time, sec 4-10 Firing time, sec 1st shooting: 8 to 10 seconds later shooting: 2 to 6 seconds Speed Mach 1.6 Reload time approximately 10 second Probability of hit 80% " http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/roland.htm now we all know you are the senior fool, and your two south african friends who liked that your foolish post are your deputy fool and assistant fool . 1 Like

@fighterpilot it seems the Asian is the one who should not be challenging Blacks when it comes to science. First, a body thrown vertically upward isnt a projectile since it only has a veritical component. A projectile is a body which when thrown, follows a parabolic path. Such bodies are under the influence of two forces: veritcal and hosizontal forces. Dont take my word for it, you can find out from credible independent sources. Secondly, there isnt anyway we can calculate for how far the body would go since you didnt give a time (t) in the little problem you put up there. Thirdly, the formula you gave S=UT+1/2gtsquared, cannot be used to solve for any of the fundamentals of projectile. The fundamentals being: Height (H), Time of flight (T) and Range (R). That formula cannot be used to solve for all the above listed fundamentals because it does not take into consideration the angle of projection. I hope you have taken a nice lesson from Black people. People you claim are intellectually inferior. People who,according to you, are only good at singing, jumping, running and stealing. Pls dont take my words for it. Try to find out from credible independent sources. 3 Likes |

agaugust: How are you going to see that infrared goniometre at night to adjust it to the right angle in respect with the target, or are your own sunlight? Stop confusing people because optical mode can only be used during the day, FACT I will only take it that you are ignorant to as far as how missiles are operated. I repeat, All Roland SAM family use the same mode of operation to engage the target. Night and day has nothing to do with weather. The weather iare conditions of the atmosphere which involves wind, rain, storm, snow, etc, and has nothing to do with day and night. Two modes of operations of Roland SAM family are; -Radar, which remains the best mode of engagement, and -Optical- which must be used during heavy jamming, but only during the day. Types of Roland SAMs Missiles -Roland 1 used only during clear weather -Roland 2 used during unfavourable weather conditions because it is an all weather missile -Roland 3 has an extended range It is only in Nigeria where a day and night are termed as weather. I told you that I have made research about Roland SAMs and its weaknesses, I have even engaged with experts of missiles to gather more information, because I have always heard that it is a weak air defence system at this age and day. My confirmation was indeed verified that Roland SAMs are weak air defence system. 1 Like |

souldust: @fighterpilot it seems the Asian is the one who should not be challenging Blacks when it comes to science. I am black and my wife and son are also black. Here under is my pedigree; My great, great grandfather was a Malay whose father was a Japanese and was maried to my great, great grandmother who was an English speaking coloured from Kwazulu natal. My great grandfather was then married to an Indian and my grandfather was then maried to a Zulu wife, but many in South Africa thinks that she is coloured because she still lives. My mother is also a mixed breed from an Irish and Zulu, but she sees herself more as Zulu than Irish. My wife is a Zulu and I have many relatives among Zulus, Indians and Irish but my Irish grandfather could not marry my maternal grandmother because of strict apartheid laws which prevented interacial marriages. My Zulu is also very good but not as fluent as the real Zulu speakers. However, it is not a secret that Asians are very bright particularly Japanese, Indians and Chinese. It has nothing to do with any racism, only that the truth must be told as it is. 1 Like |

chris365:Your artillery pieces will be moved under fire of the G5 and G6 batteries?. South African artillery men are one of the best in camouflage. Before any armour can be moved Ratels with the masts can detected the threat. Remember the recces can direct artillery fire. Ratels,Drones,special forces and the Rooivalk can do recce missions. So if any army moves its artillery pieces which will be a huge "convey" of supply trucks,artillery men and vehicles. It will easily be detected and destroyed. |
