WW3: Russia Claims South Africa Has Joined Ukraine War (PICS) by WannaHowzit(m): 4:43pm On May 16, 2023 |
The commander of South Africa's ground forces is in Moscow for talks on improving combat readiness, Russian news agencies said Monday, citing Russia’s Defense Ministry. Lieutenant General Lawrence Mbatha is heading a delegation that met his Russian colleague, Colonel General Oleg Salyukov, according to the state-run TASS news agency. The two discussed "issues relating to military cooperation and interaction aimed at the implementation of projects aimed at improving the combat readiness of the armed forces of both countries,” Russia’s Defense Ministry said. The South African delegation is expected to visit the Russian ground forces’ training sites and defense industry enterprises, the news agency added. Mbatha’s unannounced visit to Moscow comes days after the United States accused South Africa of secretly providing arms to Russia. South Africa denied the charge and announced an independent inquiry into the claims Thursday. On Friday, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa held phone talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin where both leaders agreed to “intensify mutually beneficial ties in various fields.” Ramaphosa meanwhile reiterated Pretoria’s neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in a statement Monday. Despite the series of diplomatic overtures, South African media cited government sources saying this month that Pretoria would have “no choice” but to arrest Putin on an International Criminal Court warrant if he attended the BRICS summit in August. 1 Like 1 Share

Pwettylinda:Focus. The news is the claims by Russia that SA has joined in the war with Ukraine. No where was Nigeria mentioned. Btw Nigeria's Military always top the chart in joint drills in the sub- saharan region. As for weaponry that's for another discuss. 3 Likes |

Rahkman: You’re right. Not saying SA can compete with the super powers but SA is light years ahead of Nigeria militarily. South Africa has a submarine fleet and Nigeria has zero sub. SA has a stealth missile guided frigate that Nigeria can only dream about. The worst fighter jet in SA’s airforce is better than the best one in Nigeria’s. SA also produces sophisticated modern weapons because they have private arms industry. An example is their sophisticated heli gunship that’s one of the best in the world. Can’t compare the 2 countries - SA is on another level. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Jazmine10: I know - just putting things in perspective because SA military is way more advanced than Nigeria’s. Nigeria’s flagship fighter jet is JF-17 that was basically built based on Russian MiG-21 (crazy fighter jet in its time) which is a 2nd Gen. fighter jet. We can even bump JF-17 and make it a 3rd Gen. fighter jet because they added some improvements. SA’s flagship fighter jet is JAS 39 Gripen. Can you see the big gap? Anyway, Nigeria should at least be using MiG-29 or Su-30 by now. They’re not that expensive. Countries like Algeria have them in abundance and have upgraded to Su-34/Su-35 and I think they already have orders put in for Su-57 as well. 1 Like |

All you arguing over nothing... There's a reason SA is caught up in the middle of US/Russia diplomatic war. It's an important country. Producing and supplying weapons whilst evading European and American sanctions. NIGERIA IS NOWHERE IN THE PICTURE! 3 Likes 2 Shares |
