"By all means leave"...shame boo boo. Who was talking to you? You'll notice the person i was talking to was not you. Which "heat" has there been for me in the past many months? Go back to my history and you'll see when i stopped wasting data on you. I post pics and articles, simple.

I give a completely neutral heads-up that Denel will annouce its biggest contract this year. A simple statement for those interested both Nigerian and South African. Then someone feels the need to quote me and tell me how Denel products are "fake" simply to start an argument....just like a troll.

Your South African friends trolling and saying South Africans mercenaries train Nigerian air force to fly F-7 jet and ATR-42 was good enough for you to respond to in ridicule of NAF, you yourself are a troll like your fellow Southies here.

Mister holy and holier than others. Hypocrite.

Read about Operation Indian Ocean in which alshabaab lost control of all all access to the Indian ocean http://amisom-au.org/2014/10/joint-security-update-on-operation-indian-ocean-by-somali-government-and-amisom/

Well bros, your AMISOM 2014 map shows El-Shabbab still controlling large portions of coastline sea access on two large entry points. Even one point of supply is enough to keep arms and ammunition flow to El Shabbab and keep the war going for many more years to come.

ANISOM needs a TOTAL cut off on supply lines of El Shabbab, an enemy with no ammunition. food, and fuel CANNOT fight effectively even if it has weapons in hand. A gun with no bullets kills nobody.

denisfhida, africaken, gottfried and any other commentor here that has contact with military leaders of AU, AMISOM, please pass this message to them in a humble and patriotic Pan-African spirit.

➡ AMISOM will find it hard to defeat El-Shabbab unless it can cut off the insurgents supply chain of weapons and ammunitions, fuel, food and medicines. They will keep on rearming and recruiting to replace attrition loses. UN used this logistics cut off tactics to defeat M23 in Congo DRC, by the time FIB troops arrived to fight, M23 was already dried up of supplies and 80% dead.

El-Shabab has too much access to the ocean on the east and that is the only possible source of their supplies, Ethiopia and Eritrea already land locked them from the west. ANISOM will need the multinational anti-piracy force in the gulf of Aden to hundred IPVs to cut of sea supply routes that replenish El-Shabbab with materials for war.

Alternative is land and air based shoreline complete blockade of the entire Somali coastline.


➡ AMISOM needs at least a 5,000 man special forces brigade trained for anti Islamic-terrorism by expert trainers with right and modern training doctrine and training facilities. Backed up with modern light infantry weapons including light vehicle mobile long range spy/observation hardware and long range man portable infantry night vision equipment. Add high calibre light infantry firepower weapons. The brigade can deploy as half battalion sizes in 15 locations all over Somalia, very mobile strike and move on force, 'CONVENTIONAL ARMY GUERRILLAS'.

➡ AMISOM needs face to face experience sharing with Algeria and Nigeria on fighting Islamic terrorism on land and from the air. Sri Lanka can advice on how to deal with the sea borne supply routes.

➡ AMISOM needs the art of battle field craft, base or FOB defence tactics, they must go back to the basics on that and stop surprise attacks on bases especially night attacks on FOBs that are far from reinforcements.

➡ AMISOM must step up firepower on its tactical or light combat vehicles, main armament should be 14.5mm x 1 and 23mm x 1 single barrel guns of Soviet era available so cheap in Russia and other ex-Soviet states. Add 40mm automatic grenade launchers. Then go get the new M3 Carl Gustav 1.7 km range 'anti-terrorist' man portable recoilless LAW that is cheap and affordable in large numbers, every 80 man big size platoon should have one launcher.

➡ AMISOM needs two dozens of light Scout armed helicopters like the cheap Gazelle specially dedicated for the SF brigade of 5,000 men and maybe another two dozens for regular infantry too. Cheap and readily available air mobility for small strike units.

➡ AMISOM should ask Nigeria and Algeria to deploy permanently to ANISOM, a battle tested colonel or general rank each, who have spent at least 5 years in their own countries' wars on Islamic terrorism, as special advisers and observers under ANISOM commander in chief. Africans need to pull all resources and skills together to win this war.

➡ AMISOM should use any 'idle' troops trainers to train more and more Somalian army infantry. Then the ANISOM's 5,000 newly trained anti-terrorism special forces brigade should include 1,000 of the best current Somalian infantry men, loyal, tested, trusted, not moles sympathetic to El Shabbab.


20,000 troops fighting El-Shabbab for so many years is too long a war and a drain on AU resources. We gotta win this war 2016-2017, or at least degrade El-Shabbab to current Boko Haram level of technical military 'fall back position'.

My little contribution to AMISOM efforts and service.

Reminds me why i stopped regularly posting here a long time ago. Just a big joke for trolls. Dozens of countries were involved in supplying components to NASA's Apollo programme. But under engineering management of NASA.

Same way in which Denel does detailed engineering work, calculations, drawings, test rigs etc etc. Once this is known, specific parts which are too expensive to manufacture are ordered. Those ordered parts are also themselves not off the shelf. The chosen supplier must adapt to whatever strict parameters are assigned to them. And i can tell you, most of the time when we order specific parts the manufacturer doesnt know where their component will be used and exactly what its for. We specify X input of force/temperature/etc and want Y output of this force/temperature/etc with Z space/weight/material/etc limitations.

Otherwise countries all over the world would have their own missile programmes simply by ordering parts from all over the world and assembling their own missiles. They cant do this because they didnt go through step one, in-house design and engineering.

You have a much better ability than me to waste your time on people on this thread.

I post sources for my claims more than anybody on this thread, go check my posts. I dont make false claims like Southies do.

"The A-Darter now uses 40% foreign parts so it increases not only the costs but also the vulnerabilities at winning orders with countries with bad relations to countries like the US, UK and other EU countries. As shareholder in Denel, I would like an increase in Net Profit"

The above is a readers comment from a very regular and respected military commentator on defenceweb, he is known to be an SANDF officer and a shareholder in Denel.

_________________________________________________________________________________


Milzikazi is one of the worst South Africans on this thread with lies, open denial of proven facts, while Patches engages in deliberate mis-information on a daily basis. Fighter Pilot makes totally stüpïd comments that makes no sense.


These same South Africans misled you last two weeks with an outdated May 2015 report that NAF has only 7 operational aircraft in total, yet you were quick to believe it and post a ridicule of NAF based on that story because it suits your purpose. I replied with an up to date official NAF report of August 2015 stating that almost the entire NAF fleet of about 100 North East combat sortie aircraft went on sheduled maintenance during the May to July 2015 period after flying thousands of combat sorties non-stop from January to April 2015, and now all the aircraft are back in flying combat operations having completed their scheduled maintenance.

Yet with all the evidences posted from NAF HQ, your fellow South Africans continue to post here EVERYDAY repeatedly that NAF has only 7 operational aircraft, even despite a new NAF 2016 video now released to the public showing that contrary to the May 2015 report, F-7 jets, Agusta helos, drones, etc are all in operation at war. Yet your fellow South Africans keep posting comments on this thread daily that NAF has only 7 operational aircraft and that is made up of just 3 Alpha jets, no F-7 jets, no L-39 jets, no Puma, no Agusta, no ATR-42, etc.

Yesterday you responded with ridicule on Nigeria to a comment by South African Mzilikazi that South African mercenary pilots were training NAF pilots to fly F-7 jets, Alpha jets, ATR-42 Surveyor aircraft, you were supporting his comment by making ridicules through it, is that a healthy comment? Is that claim true? It is realistic? Is it proven with facts?

Yet you come here the next day and act like a saint and the most decent/responsible man on this thread/forum....you are a 100% hypocrite Saengine.

How does that make a healthy and educative debate on this forum? You deliberately turn a blind eye to the mess and lies your South African friends tell on this forum, and keep making hypocritical comments that Nigerians post false comments that made you stop commenting on this thread.

Fool, liar, hypocrite, that is what you are Saengine.

Me, I am going to begin ignoring this forum gradually until sanity returns, I dont want to invest and waste much time on a forum where healthy and constructive debate cannot be done simply because South Africans national ego that was overblown has been bursted with facts and figures that make you guys realise you live in a world of self delusion and hidden secrets of a rotten military force which has declined to the level of Cuba training SANDF and SAAF, your Zulu/Xhosa/Bantu led ANC government has quenched the glory of apartheid era when South Africa was an all round great nation that was feared and respected worldwide for near European standards in everthing

You have the problem of extremism today because you have stu.pid leaders. You neglected the north for too long and ended up with the rich SOUTH and the poor NORTH situation. You see why we always argue that Nigerians are born with the DNA of stu.pidity. One man on the western forums said you are more like a stup.id house wife who uses insecticides to kill flies but does not take out the trash from the house. You have stu.pid Nigerian born leaders who have the confort of security on their side and have the guts to run to the media and shout that Boko Haram has been defeated without caring for the security of others. That is provocation because even if Boko haram is lying low, someone stup.id like Buhari would mess it up with it. Yet does not know that no amount of weapons can defeat a leopard. You are all products of wasted spematozoa.

Don't tell lies. There is no moment in SA where people were killed in thousands. I mean even during the reigns of the murderous apartheid regime, they never killed in thousands let alone in hundreds.

14,000 black South Africans killed by fellow black South Africans in ANC Vs Inkatha war of hatred in Mandela's term as president. You South Africans should be expelled from Nairaland for deliberate and random telling of lies on EVERY THREAD WHERE YOUR PEOPLE SHOW UP.

"Supporters of the Inkatha Freedom Party were quick to follow the lead of the ANC and formed Self Protection Units (SPUs) on the pretext of protecting their communities from onslaughts from ANC cadres. Once again, weapons proliferated in IFP strongholds, with consequences similar to those in ANC controlled communities. The violence took its heaviest toll in KwaZulu/Natal where the war between supporters of the ANC and the IFP, which had erupted in1983 when the UDF began to "invade" IFP areas the IFP regarded as being part of its territory. More South Africans – almost 14,000 were killed in South Africa during the four and a half years following the release of Mandela in February 1990 and his inauguration as President of South Africa in May 1994 than had been killed in the previous 42 years of the apartheid."

I am smarter than global firepower, why should I consult a source that ranks Niger Republique as more powerful militarily than Sudan, when that Niger Republic has ONLY 2 Frogfoot jets and 2 Hind helicopters, BUT no interceptor jet, no tanks, no SAM systems, no defense industry, no IFV, no missiles, no artillery, and a tiny army of about 5,000 men with near ZERO real war experience.

Reason why you are a waste and a liability on the photo thread....you will openly support wrong information when you clearly know it is wrong, you do not care about misleading innocent readers as long as you suit your own personal purpose. You are not a commentator to be trusted and relied on with your posts on any thread anywhere in this world.

Still those were just political violence and not extremism. People were not killed in mass. We have never experienced extremism in our land where there is a particular political, ethnic or religious group that goes besek killing people indiscriminately without mercy.

Violence is violence. South African killed South Africans in thousands during Mandela's reign as president Vs Chief Buthelezi. ANC men Vs Inkatha men.

When you have 80 million Islamic believers as natural born citizens of South Africa including Shia and Sunni Islamic fundamentalists like we have in Nigeria, then South Africa will have home made terrorists and extremists on your streets, even your SANDF army chief of staff will find it hard to drive around Cape Town in his convoy.

Then those 80 million South African Islamists will make your country an SADC region Boko Haram terror zone.

Who are these secret pilots and what makes them superior to older pilots who have flown Alpha jets for 15 years ?

That is 2016 data. Apart from that I proved Henry wrong with a source that showed Nigeria's Navy ten year plan of acquiring 49 ships. It will take Nigeria over ten years to acquire 49 ships and most positively it might not happen within that time frame. Ships are not peanuts, they cost fortune.

Nigerian navy has about 500 vessels in total.

400 as at 2015 and 500 as at 2016. Extra 100 new vessels purchased 2016.

It is NOT a 2016 report, it does not reflect the 100 new naval IPVs purchased by NN from Nigerian ship builders and Sri Lanka. It does not even count our 52 Palmaria SPHA it records only 25 from the 1980s. Your source os obsolete and full of wrong data.

286/30 = 9 sorties per day

So well done, your 7 operational assets did just under two sorties per day in a month.

How NAF Proved South Africans Are Mëntally Backward

[/size]

While envy choked South Africans whose SAAF has ZERO combat experince on their current Gripen jets and Hawk jets, were busy posting outdated May 2015 reports claiming NAF has only 7 operational aircraft, the Nigerian air force was busy flying over 100 aircraft rocking the air of North East war theatre the size of Scotland.

What the half envy suffocating South Africans did not think of was that after flying thousands of air combat sorties from January to May 2015, the majority of NAF fleet went on scheduled maintenance and had returned back to service in August 2015.




" In a renewed drive to crush the fighting will of the Boko Haram terrorist group, the Nigerian Air Force says it has deployed additional combat platforms to North East Nigeria in support of the ongoing counter-insurgency operation codenamed ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’.

The spokesperson for the Air Force, Dele Alonge, an Air Commodore, said in a statement Thursday that the new deployment came on the heel of the recent visit of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar to the operational areas.

The newly deployed platforms, according to Mr. Alonge, include the F-7Ni fighter aircraft, Mi-24/35 attack helicopters, Agusta 109 LUH, Supa Puma Combat Support helicopter and ATR-42 surveillance aircraft, which hitherto had been away for scheduled maintenance. "

1. It is a re-purposed MRAP that only conforms to the status of IFV via NATO definitions. And you built neither the vehicle nor the gins

2. Project Biro is going ahead as planned. When did India say they depend on you for maritime security?

What maritime security deal? Fact is, we are currently on our way to take part in exercises with them, as we do every year, you do not.

You buy ships in peacetime so you have them in wartime. Or do you think the enemy will wait 5 years for you to get new ships?

We have two stealth P18N ships of the Type 056 light frigate family, if war comes we can arm them with missiles in a few days, we already have 100% technology transfer on the stealth ships, they are already armed as at today with 20mm and 76mm guns plus anti-missile decoys, we just add missiles thats all remaining.

1. Do you make the guns on your 1980s Ratel IFV ? Do you make the rockets on your Rooivalk?

2. Project Biro is dead like Mandela. The video clearly says agreement was signed for Nigerian navy to help Indian navy with maritime intelligence on the Atlantic ocean......also says Nigerian navy will soon deploy SEA DRONES !!!

The Indians were wise enough to avoid long term maritime operational agreement with South African navy because they know your navy is useless in current types of global sea threats.

Exercises? The video clearly says Indian navy has invited Nigerian navy special forces for joint training and our deals will be regular and ling term with them, that's why we signed legal documents.....but South African navy was invited to India by ORDINARY email/text message/one minute phone call

It does not say what you claim

The only refrence to armored vehicles is their refurbishment

DICON official website clearly says it has production plant for producing the tracked 4KAFA Styer APC with capacity to produce 300 vehicles per year. DICON and Styer Nigeria Limited produced 250 of mixed variants in Bauchi for Nigerian army including heavy machine gun, mortar carrier, command post, and ambulance types.
