EVarn:
you can continue ranting till you keel over,all i know is that i have given enough proof,links and citations to make a polar bear freeze.we all know that all the fancy kites in your fleet have neither pilots nor aviation fuel to fly them.even your 6 barely operational grippens are no better than iron boomerangs

The Gripen are armed with different armaments

free fall bombs: Mk 81, Mk 82 etc

PGM: GBU-12 II Paveway laser guided bombs.

Pods:

1.Lightening III LDP.

2. DJRP (Digital joint reconnaissance pod).

Missiles:

1. IRIS-T SRAAM.

2. A-Darter SRAAM receiving final qualifications in "the next weeks". This will replace the IRIST-T SRAAM.

3. BVR: Likely Meteor BVRAAM as an interim solution as the Marlin BVRAAM is developed. Going for flight tests early next year.

The Al tariq glide bomb is also integrated on the Hawk LIFT.

Post away
We have all the facts in the world that prove that they are all operational.
Meanwhile, only 3 Nigerian F-7's are operational.
So post you "proof, links and citations" and prepare to get a new asshole, because we are going to raep you with counter citations.

why do you love to tell so much lies?,dont you feel guilty,the below link contains some rather comprehensive proof of your military decline

Also, this coming from the country that left a whole lot of soldiers in the Sudan because they could not afford to get them back. Abandoned to the point where they threatened mutiny

Lol, Nigeria.

This still doesn't change the sad situation of your troops in the DRC.

Is the contributions about to begin? I can lend a buck or two.

I'm nice like that.

Henry120:


A suite had to be filed against your defence minister to show the Troops had, and currently have no tents in the DRC.

Before "talking" superiority, you south-africans on this thread should start a TEHN contribution for your poor troops in the DRC.

They actually, badly do need tents.

Please buy this guy....

- A helmet
- Combat Gear
- Magazines
- Military-grade eye wear
- TENT

1st Source: internet forum - into the trash it goes
2nd source: Opinion peice
3rd source: Reuters quoting the defence reveiw

I thought you had ground breaking sources? not this drivel.

patches689:


So it had nothing to do with the fact that the Rafael was ridiculously expensive and that the Mirage 2000 was allready an ageing platform?


I think you should go take a lie down, you need a break.

Apparently, you're considering the IL-76.

This was the only inspiration.

Ok, so after a comprehenisve beating all you have left is insults?

No actual factual statements?

Ok, lets take it down to your level.

EVarn:

Just ask for clarification.

Or point out any false line in my posts.

patches689:


Lol, look at this boy side-stepping his heart out.

Answer 2 questions:

1. Where does it say we only have 8 pilots?
2. If we have only 8 pilots, how are we able to have 14 Gripen operational at any one time?

I am waiting.

Where does it say you have 18 pilots?


8 is your lucky number.

Henry120:

There's nothing with considerations.

People are bribed to consider buying something?

Henry120:

Is the IL-76 a fighter jet?

A400M is the strongest contender.

Why are you avoiding them? It seems you are scared of applying some basic logic here?

Yes, the Al Tariq glide bomb formerly known as "Umbani" is integrated on the SAAF Hawk LIFT.

What is "STRAAM"?

The A-Darter SRAAM will replace the IRIS-T SRAAM, final qualifications soon.

Great logic there buddy. You didnt contradict yourself at all.
Also, its "loser" not "looser"

The homeless soldier has no body armour on or water.
He looks abandoned.

Compared to the Nigerian infantry man taking a mobile phone image with in a deserted outpost.


A quick photo graph. He has his rifle.
Camel back for water.
Body armour
Military gloves.
His military hat.
A built up position with sandbags
His kettle for prayers ( muslim)
Well defined firing position.

A true soldier.

MikeCZAR:

Our man is clearly wearing body armor - you can clearly see it.

Your mans "camel pack" is actually his hat.

You need glasses buddy

The only precision guided weapon on South African Gripen jet is Paveway guided bombs, finish.
