Ethiopia does not produce such weapons, yet they will defeat South Africa in war until you kneel down and beg Ethiopia for mercy, or you crawl to AU and ask Africa to help you beg Ethiopia to stop deleting your inexperienced army and air force.

.
Inexperienced army + air force? How many missions were flown during the bush war?. Ok Let's compare aerial combat kills between Nigeria and South Africa from jet and helicopters. Ethiopia that can't defeat tiny Eritrea? Their pilots fired AAM at their maximum range making the missiles ineffective.

Only Ukraine Mi-24P helicopters(from the 8th detachment) ran strife attacks M23 supplies,which were observed by SANDF special forces calling in this choppers. Of all the battalions in the FIB the SANDF battalion(parabats) was the first to use its weapons against some Mai Mai group.

Oh you know I'm smoking a fine cigar not some fake Nigerian cigarette. Now if I may ask are there any lies in my post? Is Nigeria producing better 155mm shells,MRAPS,Drones,howitzers,IFVs and mortars than South Africa?. YES or NO please.
Young man, I still can not comprehend why you keep responding to me with gross ignorance and stupidity. At no point have I engaged you in a NGR vs SA weapons industry debate. The intellects on this thread clearly understood the context of my comments, submissions and assertions, therefore, desist forthwith from this blind tactic of trying to get my attention for some senseless, malicious and childish blab and rants bearing your trade mark.

hahahahahahaha. did you say tiny Cuba defeated USA just to console yourself that such an inexperienced army took you to class for more than ten years. please give us proof where Cuba fought US in a conventional war and stop this your stories abeg.

point of correction, tiny Cuba defeated SA and made you abandon Angola the way you fled from CAR. already proved several times. funny clowns
Tiny Cuba pushed back many USA "wannabe coup" operations. On which battle did Cuba defeat South Africa? They had air superiority but failed to defeat SA. Correction both South African and Cuban troops withdrawn from Angolan after the agreement.

south african bush war pilots flew Impala and Mirage jets, NOT Gripen and Hawk jets.

even your current Gripen pilots are not qualified except 6 men. so how can old retired Impala and Mirage jet pilots qualify to fly your Gripen to bring in some Bush War 27 years ago experience with ancient outdated aircraft they flew ?

the old grey haired bush war veteran pilots will crash your Gripen jets on the ground during take off, they wont even get airborne grin

combat radius of F-7 jet and Gripen jet are bothy about the same 850km. both carry missiles with about same range 25km.

both jets and pilots will likely die together same day they meet in combat.
The F7 can accomplish 850km combat radius or accomplishes that 850km with 3 drop tanks+2 air to air missiles,if engaged your pilots will drop their tanks causing them to crash on their way to their base depending on the time of the dogfight. The Gripen will soon be armed with 5th generation missile+a BVR missile. The A-darter is better,deadly&advanced than any missile on the African continent most pilot will think twice about engage any fighter armed with it.

The A-darter is better and way deadly than the PL-9C. South Africa will be buying a BVR missile as an interim solution like the Iris-T while development of the Marlin missile is ongoing. A project to acquire the Gripen ammunition has been ongoing for some time now.

America didn't defeat Iraq alone it was the "coalition". America almost any advantage over Iraq from main battle tanks,better fighter jets,stealth air planes,cruise missiles and troop numbers. Cuba pushed back an American "coup wannabe" operation.

The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale and the Nuclear Option

For six monthsthe SADF threw everythingthey had at the town [Cuito Cuanavale]. In December1987,1500 Cubans joined the defenders.
With the full powerof the SADF aimedat Cuito Cuanavale, Cuban, Angolan and SWAPO forcesprepared for a counter-attack.Fifty thousandCuban volunteers wentto Angola to help the fight.
Angolan and Cuban MIG 23 pilotssweptthe South African Air Force from Angolan skies. But SADF artillery superioritymeant they couldstill rain 20,000 shells onto Cuito Cuanavale every day.

I'm not asking you to copy and paste a bunch of stuff. I'm asking in which Battle was the SADF defeated by Cuba during the 88-89 operations and who lost many men and equipment. Everything the SADF had? Are you crazy South Africa had 6 nuclear bombs which could be dropped from the Canberra and Impala. Everything they had? Only 16 G5 guns were deployed(A single battery was 8 guns back then not 6 of today). Less than 50 tanks were deployed. ON WHICH BATTLE?!?.....WHAT HAPPENED AT THE LOMBA RIVER?!?.

Your General refused to Comment on the story,so it is not a verified story.
Give us sources,that is standard practice.
Where in the world did an Armed force engage another in a high threat environment in a CONVENTIONAL war, and score ZERO deaths. LMAO only in South Africa.
