NighttWalker: It's an Aljazeera video. So, if you're in Nigeria or Africa, tune in at the top of the hour. That's how much I can help, I do not spread or support the spread of terrorist videos. |

agaugust: We are the only country in Africa that has a battle school where we experience and test weapons live. So our artillery battery does not need any experience at all. 1 Like |

agaugust: Those numbers are straight up fraudulent Makopa can be fired at any distance up to 10km, the Army Cheif did not complain about the Makopa's use for us - he was referring to other underdeveloped countries Artillery generally fights at long range FH-77B has a maximum range of only 30,000 m when using advanced HEER Ammunition - which you do not have. Your actual maximum range with standard ammunition is 24km G5 and G6 have maximum ranged in excess of 55km Nigerian Army cannot encirlce a high-mobility army like the SANDF. They cannot even encircle towns held by Boko Haram. You do not need battle-experience to know how to fire your artillery peice - just training (nigeria has very little) 7 Killer blows to your entire post. NEXT! 3 Likes |

mzilakazi:yeah, no longer a death sentence in normal civil situations. Not in a war arena where funds are being stretched to meet normal supplies and you have to cope with purchasing and supplying antiretroviral drugs and other stuffs. Believe me, a HIV ridden battalion is a morally and physically beaten army already. |

SA is the only country among ten nations in the world which has battle academy. Our forces do not need the so called experience since they are pre-programmed about what to do in a war zone. They are being trained about different tactics, offensive and defensive formations, planning and strategising, etc. We do everything practically and not abstractly like many militaries. 1 Like |

Henry120: If the Chinese had stolen the entire specs don't you think they would've produced the unique Engine the F-35 has, just as quickly as they produced the rest of the Aircraft, why are they considering Russian Engines instead of making they're own version of the Pratt & Whitney F135 Engine. Dude this Argument is not going to stop, fact is none of us have any idea what the entire specs of both Aircrafts are, Not even the Average American know what's in the F-35. And you can't say the F-35 is Sh*t, the J-31 is a copy and copies are rarely ever as good as the real thing, but anyway there's no point in arguing about something we don't have full details of. 1 Like |

lezz: That is not a problem at all. It does not say the whole of SANDF troops are positive and ARVs in the force are plenty enough and does not put strain on supply. Not even quota of members are HIV positive. 1 Like |

Patchesagain:sa army couldn't encircled rhino porchers , is it a terrorist group relatively unknown to africa and which the west are still studying that you would encircle ? Your conventional warfare history is written in controversies, please do not comment where you do not have prior experience or precedence. Globally southafrican army is not even rated 2nd on the continent. Go figure. Then come back with your tail behind your legs and you'll receive a pat on the head. 1 Like |

lezz: Same as SA, HIV is no longer a problem in our land and instead it has changed its drive to Nigeria where it is ravaging the people. However, Nigeria does not have the official stats of HIV in their force as well as that of the public. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by lezz(m): 1:03pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
mzilakazi: Are you quoting statistics? If your defence ministry would make an official report about the HIV prevalence rate in your army, then it is an issue also in your society. Nigeria's HIV rate is well documented with figures which shows a yearly decline consistently. That's why sa leads by ratio of percentage. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:06pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
lezz: With regards to poaching, that is law enforcement and is not the concern of the military With regards to military history, unlike Nigeria, South Africa has fought real wars. And unlike Nigeria, South Africa has yet to lose a single battle. Unlike Nigeria, our COIN ops against PLAN were highly successful. With regards to African rankings, Nigeria is well behind South Africa. 1 Like |

Patchesagain:what wars did southy fought. Spare us the rough road trips of going back to multi national campaigns and the cuban dabacle. If, your assertions are even half truths,Egypt and Ethiopia won't be rated above your army. Southafrica was good on paper, during the apartheid regimes of pik botha and co, when she feared her neighbours and worried about a revolution and black unrest spurning from within or without. As soon as that was sorted, her infrastructure decayed and her personel which was previously made of white army became mixed with coloured folks who were rebels and ragtag. This further deteriorated the army and promoted gross indesciplined and lack of professionalism. With a population of 55million and a considerable size of HIV prevalence (stats are from your DM) southafrica lack fighting soldiers and infrastructure. |

You had to negotiate them out The SANDF regular checks the health of its personnel, NO new recruit is taken in if they failed health tests including HIV tests.You keeep encircling the HIV non-factor as if its a factor.. While you are continually battling Boko Haram in Nigeria, South Africa has; - Slayed the infamous M23 out of existance - We have taken out the Mai-Mai to insignificance together with other related armed militia of the eastern Congo 1 Like

mzilakazi: [size=14pt] Good to see you a South African soldier admit that your current military has ZERO war experience today 2014 and all you have is school training for testing weapons against stones, wood, trees and sand with NO SINGLE ENEMY to fire back at your SANDF. Nigerian army and air force has current large scale war experience 2014, best and latest in Africa [/size] .

lezz: We feared which neighbor? Why do you think the closest MK (ANC) base was in Tanzania and Zambia? Because the SA military could strike any of the neighboring states at any time. - Mozambique was bridged into a countless times and the SADF would go in and out as they pleased... Samora Machel was summoned by Botha to get rid of the ANC and he obliged. - Robert Mugabe feared Botha, he never confronted him despite the fact that he fought in Rhodesian Bush War - We operated in Angola unregulated for 25 years, Cuba and the Angolans couldnt break our defense lines....SADF killed almost 10 000 Cubans and in a real conventional war, the biggest one after WWII. Now compare how many lives were lost between these two countries, South Africa in the Angolan Bush War then Nigeria in the Baifra War 2 Likes
