Boko-haram is only a tiny speck. The only reason it has prolonged is simply because of political, religious issues.

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.

What we know is, the SANDF is in a pathetic state, riddled with tons of equipment it cannot afford, maintain or run.

You have the oldest Infantry in the world. With the world's highest HIV rate in any military on the planet.

Nothing to be proud of.

Hollywood style photos are nothing, anybody can take a photo of the same object from multiple different angles.

You cannot deal with common poachers despite deploying all your available assets.

I would rather have a well trained military with zero war experience than a rag-tag military with lots of war experience

The m23 rebels in Congo had decades of war experience... and yet we and our tanzanian brothers brushed them aside with ease

Nigerian army is 130,000 regular and 32,000 reserves before new massive recruitment for Boko war.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Army

Current regular Nigerian army is 150,000 and add reserves we have 182,000 men.


Add Air force and Navy, Nigeria has over 200,000 men while South Africa is dwarfed with your manpower shortage at 72,000 men including all regular and reserves.

Nigerian army will completely surround SANDF and cage you and squeeze you into the center like rats caught in a mouse trap tongue tongue

In sudan, liberia, and sierra-leone we consistently led the U.N largest PKO deployments.

Normally I ignore your posts coz you're a factless troll BUT I just need to get this in order.

- Nigeria has NO capacity to fight any enemy in any shape, BOKO Haram has and keeps demonstrating it a countless times.
- Nigeria has NO capacity to fight any enemy of any shape, MEND demonstrated this in the Niger Delta. 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
lol, you mean a troll you can't ignore. A troll who kept raising the hairs at the back of your stiffened neck with provocative fact that pinch and broke your resolve not to respond. Hehe, save us your tears, they are only adding to the flood sweeping your debate and SADF away.



Now to the point: MEND were mainly into kidnapping of expatriate oil workers and vandalism of oil pipes. And disappeared as soon as any hint of the NA shows up. Get your facts straight, punk.

Bokoharam is a first of its kind in africa and first in Nigeria's experience.
Until southafrica handles a terrorist enemy who believes there's more to gain in death and battle, who believe each blood of a fallen terrorist is a sacrifice for advancement....then you're not qualify to judge the Nigerian army based on boko. All over the world terrorist fights are a matter of international collaboration.And The NA is doing fine despite the political hindrances, boko is still a contain in just 3 states of the 36 states.

Valour Frigates - operational
Subs - operational
Augusta - operational
Hawks - operational
Gripen - 12 in rotation (14 operational)*

How about you tell us another tail.

And we deployed nothing to directly counter poaching.

So again, if you want to invent arguments, go start a thread entitled "thoughts from Henry120's imagination"

Otherwise, keep it factual.

Your Sub only returned into service after 7years at the docks.

You only have enough sailors to man 2 Frigates. Pathetic.

You only got 8 pilots for your Gripen jet, of which you lack the money or fuel to run them.

"The government's jets are part of the SAAF, so post that your fraudulent link somewhere else."

Nope your Augusta helicopters are mothballed Posting a photo here of an Augusta, and another photo there proves absolutely nothing.


You deployed nothing to directly to deal with poaching, apart from soldiers, special forces, American Navy seals, helicopters, MRAPs.

Yup, you deployed nothing.

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
southafrica never fought any war by itself or even led any.

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


Base Bleed Bofors range is 41km, ownership of base bleed is common and arms sales logs don't care record it.

Extended range Excalibur for Bofors has range 60km.

South African army like Nigerian army have base bleed, but both armies have no rocket assist shells in service.

SANDF G-6 and G-5 base bleed range is 38km, while Nigeria is 41km. We beat you on shell range and numbers of guns.
