It does however mean Holland builds frigates.Do you really think the dutch will build frigates in S.A? Except you are a dutch colony. 2 Likes |

agaugust: The fake expert is foaming from his broomstick again Lagos will fall in a war against cameroon and thats a fact. We all know France will back Cameroon and if Nigeria is the aggressor, international sanctions will be placed on your shi..thole and the long foreseen brake up will become a wonderful reality |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 4:56pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
DictatorZAR: you think international politics, diplomacy and war is that simple ? Cameroon has a defence pact with France. Nigeria has a defence pact with Ukraine, and Ukraine has a defence pact with Russia. Nigeria has a defence pact with Pakistan and Pakistan has a defence pact with China. France would risk a world war by attacking Nigeria just for the sake of Cameroon. world war II started by Germany attacking small weak European countries that had defence pacts with Super powers. France will risk attacking Nigeria and face Ukrainian air force SU-27 Flanker jets and pilots plus Pakistani JF-17 Thunder jets and pilots. Just a few weeks ago, Ukraine refused to join the European Union and re-affirmed its pacts with Russia. France will think smart, not the way you do.

DictatorZAR: ^^^ are you related to Baba Suwe or Mr Ibu? Ok, let's just for sake of this talk imagine that there's ever such very strong reason for Nigeria to go to war against Cameroun (remember that they are actually our ancestral cousins, thus for blood ties it is a distant chance), what do you think France presence will amount to? My friend, Nigeria will pound cameroun to smithereens, all France will do will be only peace-keeping . Do you know how much men, materiel and money it will cost France to try hold back Nigeria armed forces alone? it will take the whole of French army, Navy and sizable part of their airforce to check Nigeria back. If you are a half good analyst, you can imagine at what cost the will execute that, and that is if France will be willing to commit such amount of resources to save Cameroon without collaboration of NATO and US. Moreover, NATO and UN will never support any such military action that can weaken the Nigerian military, otherwise whole of West Africa and Central Africa will plunge into a very big chaos because of removal of that singular stabilizing factor. So who among them can afford to fund peacekeeping of such large area? Now you see that Nigeria can, - and will strike Cameroun hard if need be , even at the very face of France . France can only maintain a defensive perimeter then influence EU and UN sanctions, but a military assault on Nigeria, NADA !!! They can't afford it both in emmediate cost and consequent cost. They would rather throw Cameroun away than lose out in an all out war here in Nigeria, far away from home. |

rka1:Shiny toys? This are Gripens during operation Uxolo. Below are the aviation crews in the DRC. South Africans sees and has seen or been in combat than Nigeria. FARDC was able to retake a village in the DRC after the Rooivalk was called upon to "check out" rebels. NIGERIA SEES NO ACTION AND HAS NEVER SEEN ANY CONVENTIONAL WARFARE ACTION.

NaijaPikinGidi:Denel weapons? Let read this 1. The Rooivalk is a "flying devil" in the DRC. 2 The NTW-20 was used successfully to take out a machine gun post 3. 81mm mortars destroyed M23 during the battle of kibati towers 4. The Cassipirs were used during operation Uxolo+Oryx helicopter+Rooivalks .........A spineless defence force is that of Nigeria some of its soldiers are beating up innocent civilians in the Northern part. |

A force of 3000 or 4000 SANDF mechanised,motorised,artillery,parabats plus other units can reach Nairobi from any of their boarders within 7 days....................Let's compare the Rooivalk to your soviet era rust buckets the Mi-24/35 helicopters. The best of their(mi-24/35) series is operated by Algeria the super hind,it is a South African upgrade. By a company which was created by Rooivalk designers. |

Mike..ZA: All the current south african air force jets fighters and pilots of today have ZERO combat experience. nigerian air force Alpha jets have been flying regular combat missions in ground attack for the past 12 years with the same current experienced pilots nigerian air force Mi-35 Hind helicopter gunships have fought against boko haram anti-aircraft guns and got damaged , but still destroyed the enemy nigerian F-7 jets have launched air to ground attacks on boko haram and Mali rebels in the last 4 years. South african jet pilots of today have ZERO war experience. FACT. south african army of today have ZERO combat experience apart from a few hours trial and failure when Seleka rebels beat you up like kids and another few days of hiding behind Tanzanian army in Congo DRC like second choice football players on reserve bench in English Premiership. south african navy of today has ZERO combat experience in large scale world class amphibious landing operations and coastal artillery fire support Nigerian military of today is 100 times more battle experienced than South African military of today .

Mike..ZA: those old SAAF pilots of 27 years ago have retired or quit flying, they are NOT the ones flying Rooivalk for you now. current south african air force Rooivalk helicopter pilots are a bunch of newbreed inexperienced soweto fools that flew one of your Rooivalk helicopter gunship crashing into city electricity in broad daylight blind as a bat, during combat training. the enemy has not even fired SAM missile on him yet and he is crashing the Rooivalk, how will he see incoming missile if he cannot see bigger electricity poles and wires ? too much alcohol your pilots drink. . |

Mike..ZA: Recent peacekeeping actions on the behalf of the South African military include the South African intervention in Lesotho in order to restore the democratically-elected government after a coup, as well as extensive contributions to the United Nations peacekeeping operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi. An operation to Sudan has recently begun and is scheduled to be increased to Brigade strength. Issues that face the SANDF include a severe shortage of pilots and naval combat officers, due to the replacement of white officers from the former SADF with appointments from the old liberation forces and emigration. The loss of trained personnel and the decommissioning of much needed equipment due to funding issues , high HIV-rates amongst personnel and the fact that SANDF infantry soldiers are some of the oldest in the world, all raise questions regarding the current fighting efficiency of the SANDF. Some of these issues are being addressed with the introduction of the Military Skills Development (MDC) programme, as well as aggressive recruitment and training by the Reserve Force Regiments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_South_Africa Talk about old,infirm,unskilled AIDS ravaged soldiers.

agaugust:Let's look into the rubbish here. First artillery/howitzer shells did you know long range howitzers will need their barrels changed after a month of sustained firing?......Which MRAPS are you talking about? And which IFV are you talking about?...........South Africa produces advanced systems which can start to overwhelm Nigeria within 7 months of fighting. Nigeria produces standard artillery shells=South Africa advanced V-LAP and other rounds including radar screening,HEAT+propaganda leaflets dropping shells.........Every foreign weapon purchase by South Africa will have South African systems in it. The Hawks were produced in SA. The Rooivalk is a SA made AT helo,as much as the Westland Apache is British and the Abrams MBT is American. Nigeria produces weapons,YES we know. But South Africa produces better versions of those. WE CAN COMPARE. |

na_chris_be_dis:Even Sudan produces some weapons. But what we are saying is SOUTH AFRICA'S DEFENCE INDUSTRY IS BETTER THAN THAT OF NIGERIA. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 6:53pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
Mike..ZA: yes , and your south african air force Mirage F-1 jet fighters got shot down by ordinary hand-held one man SAM-7 Cuban anti-aircraft missiles, then your air force began to hide their jets on the ground and avoided flying combat mission regularly. http://www.sa-transport.co.za/aircraft/mirage_f1_saaf_service.html . |

Russia+China+Pakistan know that in terms of military technology they're a 1 or 2 decades behind the USA and other western countries,they would never risk a open fight against NATO and its allies. 1.

agaugust:M23 was better armed than any enemy Nigeria armed forces have ever faced. Tanzania never led any battle in front of brave SA soldiers they(SA soldiers) were the first to engage rebels in the DRC,Tells us on which front or battle was SA led into battle. World scale amphibious landing? Against what? Hungry rebels that were resorting to cannibalism?. Nigeria has experienced against unsophisticated,ill trained,ill discipline,not better equipped rebels. The Gripens were deployed in reccon role during operation uxolo,the entire 2 squadron was activated. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MikeZA: 7:22pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
agaugust:Yes,they hard landed a single Rooivalk. But your Nigerian lagos,marijuana,crack smoking pilots crashed three interceptor jets(F7). Many retired pilots are involved in the military. Tell me this Rooivalk pilot looks like "amateur" to you. NO missile was ever fired at a Nigerian aircraft. www.sabc.co.za/news/a/8ab6fb80424e6a278c56fe56d5ffbd92/SA-soldiers-to-spend-Christmas-in-DRC-20131224 |

agaugust:A jet that was used to shoot down a MIG-21,Nigeria still flies a copy of this jet. It even shoot down MI-24 helicopters which Nigeria flies. South Africa didn't enjoy air superiority cause of the appearance of the MIG-23,but fought well wiping out entire battalions and brigades. SA artillery crews showing how well trained they were camouflaged their G5 and G6 guns,using the "shoot and scoot" tactic avoided air strikes destroying their equipment. NO missile was ever shoot against a Nigerian jet. |
