Why does it need to be on a mountain top?

Its in a mountain range


Or do you think that slippery snow makes the shell go further?

Patchesagain:


I said 4000 because you first started saying that we deployed only 4000 men to the border.

ActivateKruger:


While the Nigerian Armed forces run to the nearest border.

Centrifude:


Sh*t is messed up man, I thought Patches and the others were just screwing with them, I didn't think it was that bad.

FighterPilot:


Nigerian military is caused to run helter-skelter in disarray by just a ragtag Boko Haram.

agaugust:


No, you are the fool that thinks artillery shell range increases because the gun is 'on a mountain top', how does it climb ?

Even ordinary hills of Gwoza Nigerian light artillery could not climb, now heavy artillery will climb up Himalayas mountain? fool !

At altitude means the target is on high land and you can see the shells landing on target, nobody tows artillery to mountain top, Bofors is driven by Scania vehicle, like a truck, it cannot climb mountain and helicopter cannot airlift Bofors artillery, so how does it leave army based and climb mountain ? Fool

[size=16pt]All we see is Boko Haram running like chicken everytime Nigerian army attacks.

Boko keeps abandoning their Islamic Caliphate Kingdoms and moving from city to city getting chased like goats.

Haramites have become beasts of no nation....homeless....dying at the mercy of Naija bullets.

Best army in Africa flushed Boko Haram down in the toilet in Chibok again !!!

I was among 200 strong force which defeated approximately 3000 Seleka rebels in Bangui. I travelled many places in CAR, viz, Bangassou, Bambari, Bria and many villages around Bangui enforcing security for our instructors. The most memorable spot was along the banks of Ubangi river where our sappers used to fetch water for purification and around the vicinity of university of Bangui. Not to forget the screams from the locals greeting us in sango languages with great jubilance on our way to M'poko international. The warm greeting of the sango people screaming "Balao or Bonjour" is all that is engraved on my mind to date. However, I miss my comrades who fell in CAR.

Cool story for the gods.

EVarn:
abi oo...wetin concern me with goat pikin wen dey lick `im mama yansh?,abegi.when ECOMOG triumphed in liberia and sierra leone,the people jubilated too,they even coined a slang for nigerian soldiers: "God bless ECOMOG" and "great ECOMOG",which they made into a song.till today,if you go to cote d`ivoire,liberia or sierra leone,you will hear the people praise nigerian soldiers by singing "God bless ECOMOG".so whats that epistle about?.the SANDF didnt even fight a coherent armed militia!.

Dude, high altitude means the gun is fired at.... you guessed it... high altitude

Shells achieve ultra-long distance ranges there because the air is thinner, hence lest resistance to the shell in flight.

This is basic high-school physics. You should know this.

I have allready posted a picture of a Bofors in the Himalaya's, where the average elevation is 6000m above sea level - high altitude

This is pure desperation on your part, driven by the inability to comprehend even the simplest things

agaugust:



Physics ? You ? South African ? Science ?

You boxed yourself into a corner, see all your posts with no source to proof, no citations.

The real physics is that cold air on high altitude is heavier and gives more resistance to the shell and slows it down, cold air is a dense harder matter for shells to travel through, your science is crappy from your South African crappy schools


"Cold air is much heavier than warm air and this is the basis for much of what we call weather. You may have heard that a baseball or a golf ball will travel further on a warm, humid day than it would on a cold, dry day. Since the warm, humid air is less dense, the ball travels through it with less friction."

Nigerian education beats South African education again as usual, your SA schools are rated only for beautiful buildings

You are stuck in a position of defeat and self humiliation @Patches !


Show me a source that says Bofors artillery range increases by a whole extra 10km in a heavier cold mountain air !

Who cares, we have already qualified for AFCON.
Military discussions please

Henry120:


We have carried out multiple over-hauls on NNS Aradu on many occasions in-country.

Nothing new.

“According to the Review the SANDF is in a critical state of decline, is unsustainable and prime mission equipment, especially in the landward force, faces block obsolescence. “Ammunition stocks are depleted, infrastructure is falling apart, skilled staff is leaving and the arms of the various services operate in silos and are unable to manage basic procurement, which is centralised and run by the deputy director-general in the Defence Secretariat.”


Nope unlike your brainless generals who have decided to chase pirates with subs, Nigeria doesn't buy, what Nigeria doesn't need.

2 long endurance ships from the U.S
2 corvettes/OPV's from china
2 additional ships from turkey and china
6 65 meters IPV's from the netherlands
Additional 2 Helicopters from china.

This is how you make procurements, based on the Nations needs, on a need to buy, not on a need to buy 26 jets with only 8 pilots to fly.

Posting photos of 4 Augusta LUH of 30 proves absolutely nothing.

Most of the SAAF’s 30-strong light helicopter fleet is grounded because of the “almost total lack of flying-hour allocation”, according to the Defenceweb site. Defenceweb writes that this “precarious financial and personnel situation” also led to the humiliation of the SAAF managing to keep its specialist maritime helicopters aloft for fewer than a dozen hours,".

Again, coming here to post flight hours of your presidential fleet, which is part of the SAAF is absolute balderdash.

You didn't deploy soldiers for anti-poaching ops.......

Air at high altitude is less dense than air at low altitude

If the entire mass of the atmosphere had a uniform density from sea level, it would terminate abruptly at an altitude of 8.50 km (27,900 ft). It actually decreases exponentially with altitude, dropping by half every 5.6 km (18,000 ft) or by a factor of 1/e every 7.64 km (25,100 ft), the average scale height of the atmosphere below 70 km (43 mi; 230,000 ft)

In summary, the mass of Earth's atmosphere is distributed approximately as follows:[23]

50% is below 5.6 km (18,000 ft).
90% is below 16 km (52,000 ft).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth#Physical_properties

Meaning that the air in the Himalaya's is half as dense as the air at ground level - this allows the shell to travel further

You see, my South African education has been proven to be superior to your bush-school education. This is basic, primary school, knowledge we are talking here. Knowledge you seemingly dont have.

South African Education > Nigerian Peasant Education

ActivateKruger:

Idiocy reigns supreme in your mind, in fact its your principle.
We played all games with Congo and Sudan, we have already qualified with a game at hand... go yap yap your puke in some other thread.

Msauza:



Seleka that got the beating is championed as heroes. By the way our boys have already qualified and we have nothing to worry about. We have already taken number one spot and the game is over.

ActivateKruger:


Agububu doesn't know how artillery gets on top of a mountain...

Don't you think that is too early to celebrate? Your military and Boko Haram are just playing cat and mouse.

agaugust:


Biggie Fool

Artillery shells don't go straight up in the air 10km high ! The barrel is not vertical, it is inclined only, fool

If gun range is 20km and it wastes 10km climbing up the sky like an aero plane, the gun loses half it's shell travel range and falls down wasted half way before reaching target.

Your quote applies only to aeroplanes that fly 10km to 20km altitude, not artillery shells that do not even reach the clouds in the sky !

South African education is 100 years behind Nigeria

Cold air is all over Himalayas mountains because of snow, I live in snowland and snow is all over my house and yard now as I write, the air is heavier than normal warm terrain and it creates friction/resistance to vehicles we drive through it.

South Africa imported science teachers from Nigeria, now I see why your country came begging us to help improve your brains

# Show us how cold mountain air increases artillery shell range when it actually slows down the shell

agaugust:


No, it is you South Africans who celebrate too early every time Boko Haram appears to hold a town, but your joy turns into sorrow in a few days when Nigerian army flushes the Bokos down the toilet and tear their Islamic Caliphate into pieces with bullets and shells.

Count your blessings disappointments name them one by one
