FighterPilot: [size=16pt]These Nigerians must shut their mouth up and defeat Book Haram which walks tall right in their backyards. Stop talking too much and convince us once and for all. The whole world pity you because of the rag tag army you possess. The superpowers have vowed to help you because you are as weak as a baby. You are undoubtedly not equal to a task when it comes to protecting your own citizens, you have failed at every aspect. Failure is written all over your faces.

South Africans let us stop entertaining this so called imaginary strong Nigerian force which failed to prove itself to their critiques to the extent that we all in the whole world went down in tears, sobbing for defenseless citizens of northern Nigeria. Nigeria has a weak army, that's my final statement, same as that of US generals and Obama, Ugandan president, prime minister of UK, and many experts across the world. That's a shame, seeing the force claimed to be the strongest in Africa being humbled and outsmarted by just mere amateurs right on their backyard where they are supposed to have projected their power. Where all their equipments, hardware and personnel are based. Where they do not need any logistical support to transport their force and arms to another country. Shame!!! Book Haram has hung the whole uniform of Nigerian military on the tree for all to see, no wonder they want to change their already disgraced uniform. Shame!!!![/size]

Shame!!! Shame!!! Shame!!!!!

FighterPilot: [size=16pt]Why must we entertain a rag tag army in the name of Nigerian military which only specialise in flight during engagement with the enermy.

As we speak today dated 4th of August, 2014, the whole town of Damboa right in Nigerian soil is under a complete control of Boko Haram. What a weakest. Military which can't even protect its territory!!!!![/size] shame!!!! Shame!!!!

Henry120:

Nigeria has far more superior command and control structure than you can dream of.

We have a COBRA like, data links facility here in nigeria. The only facility of such anywhere on this continent.

You no Military standard data links.

agaugust:

South Africa has superior command and control over Namibia, NOT Nigeria.


Dude, you mean Algeria that spends on weapons many times more than South Africa has no data-links for Algerian military ?

SIPRI or UN arms log will not record any country's data-links installations because it is NOT a weapon or combat equipment, it is a mere satellite two way communication network of data linked together on a number of equipment like aircraft, ships, and vehicles at the same time.

You SA guys make it sound like data links is a nuclear weapon....All South Africans dumbo domingos

See, Nigeria has data links but we don't make noise about it, sure Egypt will have..or how do they match Israel. Sure Algeria will have from their multi-billion dollar defence budget.

Now look....Nigeria has ISR aircraft that have data-links that are connected to many ground stations and other different equipment. At Nigeria's level of sophistication, our 3 armed forces can exchange information on-line real time via data-links from aircraft to warships to ground stations and major ground equipment.

In case you dont know, data-links depends 100% on satellite network and Nigeria is far ahead of South Africa in satellite technology, so it means Nigeria has satellites and supports it's data-links by them, but South Africa has NO single satellite and therefore depends on another country's satellites to connect SANDF data-links, the day you offend them, they just disconnect your data-link and you enter hot pepper soup.

You Soweto guys here are NOT telecoms or satcoms experts, so stop yapping about data-links when you know next to nothing about the detailed engineering of how it actually works.

You don't know that even different types of data links that are totally different and irrelevant to each other, can be integrated to work together via a coordinating translator/correlator. So you guys should stop claiming to be experts of a technology that you know less than 1% of.

Nigeria has data-links and includes both fixed and mobile ground stations data-link network integrated systems as well as linked to different weapons/equipment/platforms including our very small ISR Diamond aircraft you do not even know about....

2013 upgrade contract with U.S. Navy & Private Contractor

Nigerian Air Force upgrades Diamond intelligence aircraft
Posted by: Ade Tayo in Latest News 08/05/2013

The U.S. Navy is working with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to enhance their intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities by upgrading equipment on two Diamond DA-42 aircraft and associated ground stations, according to contract documents released Monday through the Federal Business Opportunities website.

The Navy is seeking a contractor to upgrade ISR equipment on two DA-42 Diamond Twin Star aircraft, data links and antennas of existing fixed ground stations, and provide two new portable ground stations, training, optional spares and an optional Field Service Representative.

All modifications, testing, delivery, and training shall be performed in Nigeria, the Navy said in contract documents.

The contractor will be responsible for uninstalling all existing aircraft and fixed ground station ISR equipment made obsolete by the upgraded equipment, the Navy said. This equipment shall remain the property of the NAF."

The SAAF Chief Of Staff retired in 2012, like I said 99% of combat experienced South African military men are either dead, retired, or run away oversees to avoid Zulu spear of revenge.

Don't fvck yourself dude, it won't produce a baby, South African air force and Nigeria both have NO experience of 4th generation jet fighter combat where EM. ECM, ECCM is the rule of the game. South African Gripen jets have zero combat experience, NEVER used in war. FACT !

SAAF Hawk jets have never killed a mosquito, NAF Alpha jets have been flying recce and ground attack from 20 years ago till today...Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, North East Nigeria.

Who has a better experienced air force today 2014, not on past glory ? Nigeria !

EM,ECM,ECCM? Lmaoooo.

What's new to you,is what we've been doing in the 80s.

Past glory and experience? Looool

Your air force has never fired a single missile in combat.

The SAAF flew in world War 1 until today. SA is more experience operating jets unlike some whom crumble when hit with mild sanctions and had to put jets in the freezer.

That is about 60 helicopters in NAF on SIPRI alone for purchases from year 2000 to 2013 only. I did not add 6 units new Mi-35M Hind E, squadron of Bell Rangers, squadron of R66 Robinsons, and the 40 new helicopters from USA/Russia arriving this month.

Nigerian air force (Not counting Navy helicpoters one squadron, not counting any NAF reserves two squadrons) will have about 120 helicopters rocking the skies....Biggest force in Sub-Saharan Africa !

SAAF has more than 150 helicopter when we include unoperational reserve squadrons.

South Africa has NO air or land based stand off munitions like missiles and smart bombs.

All your missiles and smart bombs have maximum range 20 km and that is NOT stand-off or beyond visual range. Stop lying dude !

The vehicles are undergoing OT&E.

Are you saying SA or the SANDF? Cause Denel produces stand-off munitions even for your masters Pakistan. Loool

CSIR is still in work experimenting new designs.

Unlike some whom just...............

patches689:

20km is longer than the range of your SAM's. Meaning we can kill your SAM facilities from safety. We also have long range artillery and rocket batteries.

So, its the definition of a stand-off munition.

His forgetting that the Umkhonto missile can strike ground targets.

Maybe you are in jail and don't have access to Tv news.

Nigerian army has wiped out a whole forest full of Boko Haram bases in Balmo forest, every living thing called Boko in that forest was attacked by Nigerian army and were k.illed or captured with all their weapons seized. SANDF has not been to war for 20 years till now, untested cowards .

Nigeria is fighting an Islamic insurgency, yes a war 10 times more difficult than South African bush war Vs Cuba in Angola.

The worlds best military in terms of war records of victory is the Israeli army and air force. The Israelis with all their world class military might have lost about 64 soldiers k.illed by the Islamic Jihadists you talk about. In 30 days, Israeli army lost 64 soldiers including over 20 Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, and Non-Commissioned officers, all in 30 days. May they rest in peace as true heroes.

Nigerian army casualty rate is less than that of Israeli army, and now we are rated as the best COIN war fighters in Africa, even Egypt cannot match us.

If South African army fights the kind of war Nigeria and Israel is fighting, SANDF will lose 1,000 soldiers in one month. Your army has zero experience in fighting an 'invisble' enemy that mixes with civilians and wears civilian clothes.

SANDF officers came to Nigerian army school this year for COIN lessons, we learn war, we teach lazy cowards like SANDF who ran away from Seleka rebels that they can even see, a clearly visible enemy ....Soweto cowards

No, that photos is Bofos FH-77A of Nigerian army NOT FH-77B version.

We have 25 units FH-77A older version and 48 units FH-77B newer longer range version. Nigeria has total 73 units of Bofors FH-77 both types.

How many times will we repeat this same old topic ? 1,000 times ? Mumu

MikeZA: His forgetting that the Umkhonto missile can strike ground targets.

umkhonto that is not upto mach 2 will shoot who?

MikeZA: His forgetting that the Umkhonto missile can strike ground targets.

Stop calling and anti-aircraft missile a ground attack missile. Show me where DENEL tested Umkhonto in real live firing test against ground targets. A heat seeking missile, how does it strike a cold cement building? Fool

I too could say Roland anti-aircraft missile is also an anti-tank ground strike weapon. You post rubbish, no wonder you just got banned

MikeZA: Airborne artillery. Deployed simultaneously with G5 and G6 guns.

World war I and II air combat is not useful today where missiles and electronics rule the air.

South Africa has ZERO experience of 4th Generation air combat with jets carrying seeker head missiles, your Mirage F-1 Vs MiG-23 combat of 1980s is an ancient warfare. Only Ethiopia and Eritrea have modern jet vs jet combat experience in all Africa, even Egypt doe not have such experience.

Stop boasting of what you do NOT have...Fraudster !
