Patchesagain:the south african brigade later wore themselves out against german defense as they were initially tasked by the british to "secure the forest".tell me,isnt it true that after 'defeating' the german battalion,the german later retaliated killing thousands of soldiers,and making the south africans withdraw from some of the captured south delville wood?,werent the south africans later relieved by the british after a series of withdrawals,with iminent defeat looming?.perhaps the below article will reboot your medulla . . . . http://www.cwgc.org/somme/content.asp?menuid=4&id=4&menuname=Delville+wood&menu=main . |

mzilakazi:well well,now what do we have here?....lies as usual?,alright,let me enjoy tearing you flimsy opinions apart,i do so love doing it. . . . . did you just say "nigeria's contribution to both WW 1&2 was non-existent"?...so the 90,000 soldiers that were deployed to south east asia in 1943 were "non-existent contributions"?,the battalions of nigerian soldiers who fought in the burma war was "non-existent contribution"?,the mostly nigerian RWAFF that ousted german colonies on africa was a "non-existent contribution"?,the article below will refresh you brain . . http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8201717.stm . . |

EVarn: Relieve is not tantamount to withdrawal. Troops are relieved in warzone on the cycles of quarterly or half-yearly bases. Your insinuation that SA troops were defeated is rather fallacious and out of context because the source does not substantiate it either. Hence, you are a loser. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 1:28pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
EVarn: In simple language RWAFF is not equivalent to Nigeria. Sierra Leone and Ghanaian people and other neighbouring countries have the stake to claim as well. I am not interested in quasi-NATO forces of west Africa, the so called Alliance and neither am I interested in who contributed more soldiers. |

mzilakazi:lest i forget,did you just say "nigeria's contribution to angola is speculative"?,perhaps the below article will soothe your perboiled reasoning. . . . . http://www.rhodesia.nl/moss4.htm . . why would the then british backed nigerian army be afraid of a biltong-munching redneck army? |

Passing by the gaming section in a shop and Walla I saw an international brand marketing its gaming product with a Rooivalk, This further stipulates the known fact that the Rooivalk is Africa's ultimate attack helicopter, among the best in the world. 3 Likes

mzilakazi:indeed.no,i didnt say that you lost,i said that "iminent defeat was looming",if the british hadnt 'relieved' you of your task,do you think that the SANDF{SAB} would have lasted longer,after "exhausting" themselves against german defense,and a series of withdrawals? |

Thanks ![]() ![]() Thanks for proving me right with your 3 photos, the gun is shown on flat lands, pointing barrel towards high altitude mountains....

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 2:08pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
agaugust: @Agaugust, a man whose knowledge of science is up to scratch. However, the range of 42.3km can only be attained at slightly higher altitudes, that you should always bear in mind. Since your knowledge of science is limited, @patches did not mean guns literally positioned at the tip of mountains. He spoke about mountain range, the level that is almost equal to mountains. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 2:08pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
Patchesagain: Unfortunately for you, your quoted 5.7km lands are not where the Bofors was used in battle, it was in Kargil and the altitude of Kargil is far much lower at only average 2.6km and that includes the snowy slippery slopes of mountains where artillery gun cannot climb, force of gravity will pull it down, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kargil, and Indian helicopters cannot lift the heavy 24,000 pounds Bofors guns.

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 2:20pm On Nov 18, 2014 |
agaugust: Augustus. I dont think I can make this any more simple for you. That range is only acheivable at high altitude The pictures are of guns at high altitude The base of the mountains is at... you guessed it (probably not)... high altitude Or do you not understand geography as well as basic physics? There is no where in Africa where such altitude can be achieved The Indian Officer did not say "the range is achieved when on the top of mountains" he said "at high altitude" Please explain to the forum why altitude is irrelevant and why they must be on a mountain top. Fact of the matter is that the maximum attainable range of the Bofors FH77B in Africa is around 20km. 2 Likes |

Why is the Kargil battle relevant? Did he say that range was acheived during the battles there? Look at this topographic map of Africa, are there any areas above or near 2,5km? Is it impossible for engineers to blast gun platforms into mountains? Does the Indian Army have Chinhooks? What is the maximum payload of a Chinhook and how much does a FH77B weigh? Answer these questions in your head and you will see why, yet again, you have embarrassed yourself. Your photo clearly proves the gun is NOT on the mountain, it is on flat ground with brown soil, gun points to mountain target, the mountain is white covered with snow and colour is white. Again, mountains are irrelevant... its all about Altitude. Did they not teach you about altitude in High school? Here is an example: The base camp at mount everest is not on the mountain, yet it sits at an altitude of 5,380 m Proves me right, prove you wrong, the artillery is clearly on flat ground at the bottom of the mountains while the target enemy is sitting on high altitude mountains where the Bofors has advantage of seeing the higher ground targets up to 42.3km What? So now the max range is dependant on what the gun can see? Not the effect of resistance of the shell in flight? Is that what you are saying? So if I have a G6 with a drone giving it a live feed, and that drone is 1000km away... can my G6 now shoot 1000km? Is that what you are saying? Good lord. 2 Likes

Patchesagain: 20km range for Bofors? Thé Indian army video at about 2:20 mins says with ordinary HE shells the range of Bofors FH-77B is 31km, so you now cut it down to 20km in your desperation and fraud ? Your drones flying to target for G-6 gun will be shot down, the Indian captain is focussed on artillery working alone, not with any drone flying. Who told you there is no 2.6km mountain or altitude land in Africa? Fool, failed Geograhpy in your pathetic South African schools. Atlas mountains North Africa. Gotel Mountains West Africa. Kilimanjaro Mountains East Africa. Ethiopian mountains Horn of Africa. Etc. Fact remains that artillery shell is slower and loses range in cold Himalayas mountain because cold air is heavier than warm air, and Indian Himalayas is snow covered and snow cold as proved by your own photos, so it actually reduces artillery range, it does NOT increase it. Nigerian and Indian Bofors FH-77B artillery max range 42km South African G-6 artillery max range 38km Go jump into river Zambezi if Nigerias superiror artillery range hurts you ![]() ![]() . |

mzilakazi:. Wow I can't imagine someone just said this !!! Nigerian soldiers fought bravely in the WW1 and WW2 ; a very good example is the jungle battle"burma" where nigerian troops deafeted the jepanese and send them on there heels! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8201717.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8344170.stm Secondly all I see are pronganda pictures you've edited except for few ones that I saw "white soldiers" they may be SA soldiers or not ! All your captured tanks,mines and artillery are mere internet pictures may be you will do better by giving me links ! |
