On more than 4 occasions I responded to the multiple lies and misinformation you freely perpetuated on this thread, and in each of them I got hit with a ban.

Instead you to desist, you're back telling more fairy tales.

Nigeria operates sub-saharan Africa's most advanced ISR platform. The Gripen on the other hand is not a surveillance platform. It is a light weight fighter aircraft, which you corrupt government acquired with loans you aren't done paying, a contract that has seen your former president called to defend himself against corruption allegations.


SA(retirement home/limousine service)NDF has no drones in service. Quit posting that image.

1. No you dont
2. Yes it is when it is configured for that role - it can observe and target
3. The last payment end in 2018, the last Gripen was delivered in 2011. We spent $ 4 Billion. Your president needs to beg for just $ 1 Billion to spend

Nuff said on this D.Ata l.inks issue.

The nigerian military possesses data links capability. We it practically used in the rescue of two vessels, one off the coast of Angola, the other in ghana.

We also continue to see this capability during the yearly exercise obangame.

We have also seen the ground control/analysis center, the military's situation room.

We haven't seen this capability been deployed by the SANDF or even written.

Have you seen Syrian Army up-graded T-72's take a beating in the syrian civil war? An Upgraded T-72 is a great tank.


1. Why would nigeria need a Half-french helicopter, which you don't even want ( you only got 10 of them), when we got MI-35M's.

No sane person would trade an MI-35M for a half-french helicopter.

2. You have no patria IFV's in SANDF.

3. We got both BTR-3U's and Sagaie AFVs

4. Our Palmaria artillery system is one of the best howitzer's in the world.

5. We got up-graded T-72's in service. Your Olifant is a museum relic.

6. MGLs, AGLs, we have tons of those in actual service, not photo-shoots. Actual service.

7. SSG-69 and Dragunov sniper rifles are amongst the best sniper rifles in the world.

The rest of your gibberish...... Just as usual.

1. Why would nigeria need a Half-french helicopter, which you don't even want ( you only got 10 of them), when we got MI-35M's.

- Combat in Goma has shown the Rooivalk is superior to the Mi-35
- The MoD announced that they want to acquire more Rooivalk
- The Defense Review calls for more Rooivalk

2. You have no patria IFV's in SANDF.

In 13 months we will - and you have absolutely no comparison.

3. We got both BTR-3U's and Sagaie AFVs

Which are inferior as I have already shown.

4. Our Palmaria artillery system is one of the best howitzer's in the world.

Completely inferior to the G6 and G5 in every way.

5. We got up-graded T-72's in service. Your Olifant is a museum relic.

No you dont, and the Oifant Mk2 is one of the most advanced MBT's in Africa - certainly more advanced than a T-72 (Remember Kids: the T-72 is literally the WORST TANK IN THE WORLD)

6. MGLs, AGLs, we have tons of those in actual service, not photo-shoots. Actual service.

"tons in actual service"

And yet the only evidence you have to support this a ONE picture of one fixed on a boat? Lol, every single SANDF weapons platoon has Y-3 AGLS and every single rifle section in the entire SANDF has Milkor MGL's

7. SSG-69 and Dragunov sniper rifles are amongst the best sniper rifles in the world.

And neither compare to the NTW-20. The NTW-20 is in the record books, the SSG-69 and Dragunov are not grin

The rest of your gibberish...... Just as usual.

The rest is FACT, just because you cannot handlle the FACTS doesnt make it gibberish cool

Northern African Arab countries, Nigeria and South Africa may have decent, modernized and sophiscated military hardwares but it's never about having toys but being loyal, have the courage and the confidence as you know strategic/tactic is always important.

No matter what gears you have, it doesn't count as being the strongest army in the world. The recent example could be the collapse of Mosul months ago where you have an army with two of the strongest backer (Russia/US) who spent billion dollars on military in this hand and some guys with propelled rocket launchers, 4x4 and guns on the other hand yet the second largest city of Iraq fell into ISIS hand. Why? Because they're organized, experienced and focus more strategically. Same goes to Afghanistan and Vietnam.

Nigeria has more surveillance assets than your retirement home defence force can dream of.

We've seen data links used in many real life situations (I gave examples), aslo during multiple military exercises we carry out yearly (obangame, winds and majepo et al).

Your imaginary data links only exists in the minds of your SAloanNDF. I'm very sure you guys believe in "unicorns" and "big foot".

2) Don't have the expertise to fly

3) Too broke to maintain

4) the SANDF has the oldest infantry troops in the world, lacking the skill, ethos and motivation required of a military.


Your own defence minister(God bless her heart) has this to say about the retirement home

"Mapisa-Nqakula - stated unambiguously that the SANDF was in a state of decline characterised by force imbalance between capabilities, ageing technology, and unaffordability of many of its main operating systems."




Your defence force is none other than a hollywood, photo snapping limousine service/ retirement home.
