catfish like you,calling boko haram 'ragtag'.boko haram is a more deadlier force than the SANDF;
(i)it is well funded by both internal and international religious entities
(ii)BH fighters do not lack tents and they are perfectly capable of fueling their motorized infantry units
(iii)they coordinate and operate from fortresses and save havens e.g a vast and shallow horizon like sambisa forest is very hard to penetrate without encountering overwhelming firepower,a high hill like gwoza is difficult to lay seige on and they can easily shoot down aircrafts,a sloppy and rough terrain like mubi is difficult to assault as it is easy to set ambushes from different positions.
(iv)BH are heavily armed with tanks,anti-aircrafts,atillery,AAA rifles,rocket-launchers,bombs and IEDs.
(v)they are very mobile,as they have fleets of automobiles to move about in droves.
so,how are they ragtag?

With better weapons and better training you can defeat BH. Now no country want to sell you arms and beside you don't have money.

what do you mean no country want to sell arms to us?,russia,belarus,ukraine,china,pakistan and other eastern europe and asian countries are very willing!.how many times have i proved that we can buy as much military hardware as we want?,we can buy the B-2 Bomber jet if america were willing to sell it{which they arent,even other NATO nations dont have it},the SAAF do not even have common aviation fuel,how will you then buy new military hardwares?.the NA has the best infantry in africa,so we dont lack training.you are one to talk,afterall the SANDF ran out of CAR,to be replaced by those pretty,sausage-eating french models that pose as soldiers,even france can outperform you,shame!

SA acquired technological transfer of radar and EW system in 1939 and now can develop her own.

Boko Haram said to seize another town in northern Nigeria



Niamey (AFP) - Islamist extremist group Boko Haram has seized control of a Nigerian town near the Niger border, leading soldiers to flee and adding to its expanding reach in the region, an official said Saturday.

The insurgents were said to have taken control of Malam Fatori in Nigeria's northeastern Borno state after fighting on Wednesday and Thursday, a senior official in the Niger town of Diffa near Nigeria told AFP on condition of anonymity.

The fighting killed dozens and wounded about 30 people in the a commercial hub known for fishing and farming, the Anfani radio station in Diffa reported.

"The town of Malam Fatori was taken by Boko Haram after violent fighting with the Nigerian army overnight Wednesday to Thursday," said the official in Diffa, where thousands of refugees from the conflict have fled to.

According to the official, 315 Nigerian soldiers fled over the border to Diffa. Thirteen who were wounded were treated in a Diffa hospital, while the others have been repatriated.

The official's version of events differed from the one given by a Nigerian senator, who on Thursday spoke of the attack but did not say that the town had been taken.

Senator Maina Maaji Lawan said the insurgents met stiff resistance from soldiers from a multi-national task force in the region that includes troops from Nigeria, Chad and Niger.

Lawan however also said that soldiers were later forced to flee after being overpowered by the insurgents. He said that 21 civilians were killed.

Was Nigeria's government hoodwinked over Boko Haram 'truce'?


...The government's blindness -- willful or otherwise -- to that fact should alarm us all. But it's not very surprising.
At every turn the Nigerian government -- everything from the president's office, to the military, and intelligence services -- has demonstrated that it is as confused as the rest of us.
We see this not just in the desperation, at the highest levels, to believe anything regardless of how implausible it sounds, but also in the supremely careless manner in which information regarding the crisis continues to be managed.
If the past is anything to go by, I'm certain we haven't seen the last of the "ceasefire" announcements....

You see the reason why I call you a fool. Mokopa has long been integrated into Rooivalk tested and fired. It was tested many times on Rooivalk starting from 1999 http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product869.html. It was specially designed for Rooivalk, but now can be launched from different platforms, Fighter jets, Vehicles and Ships or boats.

Do you think Denel is that stuppid? DENEL is committed to give SANDF training of any kind of weapon in their stock.


Nigeria has zero weapon in Ukraine. They are in war as current and very desperate for weapons, yet they cannot get their weapons in Ukraine. That's ironic!!



Funding for air force soars
Date: 1 March 2014
THE SA Air Force has been given a R342 million
boost over three years towards strengthening its
helicopter, transport and maritime capability.
According to Budget documents tabled this week,
the money was shifted from the Special Defence
Account because of “an increase in deployments
and presidential commitments”.
There was also a projected increase in spending
in the force employment programme for border
patrols, anti-piracy
operations and peacekeeping missions.
Defence analyst Helmoed-Romer Heitman said
some of the funds for the helicopter capability
related to the deployment of Rooivalk combat
helicopters to the DRC, where South Africa has
sent troops as part of a UN peacekeeping
mission.
“We’ve gone from having two Oryxes at Goma to
having three Rooivalke and five or six Oryxes.
They burn more fuel to get there, they burn hours,
which uses up consumables, and there’s
maintenance,” Heitman said.
It was also possible the military was finally
acquiring the Mokopa anti-tank missile for the Rooivalk

Possible is NOT = Done.

Nigeria too can possibly buy the Akash SAM with 35km range from India as published in world news last year, get it?

Even if intergrated, SAAF has NEVER ordered ANY Mokopa missile, because of lack of funds and the fact I posted, that your then air force chief said the 10km long range is useless because the Rooivalk will not see the target

DENEL engineers are just dumbo domingoes to design a missile that is useless, named Mokopa ATGM.

You don't have a lot and by the way tanks cannot make our bodies to shrink.

SADF sank Russian ship fully loaded with weapons which were meant to be transported to Angola. It is not safe to put away weapons to another country since the ocean is too deep to consume all of them.

It is not a matter of buying. SA government has mokopa which will be used by SAAF during war. It is not a matter of a choice by some unknown chief or whatever.

guys, today i witnrssed another missile test around ajah/epe while coming back from church. the darn thing disappeared before i could take out my phone, unlock and launch camera but i was able to snap it's trace.

this is the third time this week and first during a bright afternoon. they normally do this stuff very early in the morning and i get to see it when i go out for jogging before heading to work.
