You know that the South African Airforce has no less than 4 seperate models of Recon/ISTAR pods

Ok.

So you are saying that: despite having all the information you need to lock onto a target

You cannot

Because..... well... because you say so

Do you even know what ISTAR is?

I dont have to show you anything. You have to show us that data-link cannot be used to deploy weapons.

agaugust:


Nigerian ISTAR puts NAF 66 years ahead od SANDF-SAAF....I should be asking if your Soweto military Generals know what ISTAR is

Individual weapon/ordanance needs lock on to h.it target and launcher platform MUST be withing weapon-target range limits.

Training = experience.

Nigeria will be like Libya in a few weeks of combat, unable to respond to death from above

mzilakazi:

Wow!!! I never knew there were so many towns and villages captured by BH. Anyway, many media report that the military campaign to flush out these insurgents proves futile since militants simply withdraw from one town and capture another.

agaugust:


Boko Haram occupied land has NO fixed map, it changes everyday we flush them down the toilet.

Boko has lost too many towns, Damboa, Michika, Kanduga, Mubi, Chibok, endless list....so your map is useless

Sorry you still playing catch up. Sure your 2 MPAs can find targets but that is it. The gripen and hawk can both find and attack said targets. We all so have more tyes of ISRT sytems than you have aircrafts.

EVarn:

JEALOUSY!!
BAD BELLÉ!
you must be a boko haram agent in diaspora,if not you will agree that these terrorists operate in coordinated units,and are spread out all over the north-east and cameroon,so its very easy for them to attack different places at the same time.who told you that the terrorist "withdraw from one town and capture another"?,most of them are usually killed during military raid,and the rest of them captured,only few escape.

agaugust:


NAF F-7NI will intercept SAAF Gripens and Hawks, that is the point you forget all the time !

NAF has more missiles than SAAF's 25 units of IRIS-T that you share one each per aircraft

South African air force has critical shortage of air to air missiles

.

mzilakazi:


I wonder what will a low cost F7 which cannot fire missiles be doing by intercepting Gripen fighter, unless the F7 pilots want to apply for death certificates.

zaandrew:


Show me more than 3 NAF F7 in the air

mzilakazi:

I am not, I am simply unimpressed by your poor, amateurish performance against a ragtag militants.

agaugust:



How do you detect target without you too being detected and attacked ?

You have SANDF radar inside Nigerian side of the dividing frontline?

South Africa has NO Satellite, so forget GPS

Hawk jets have no targeting pod, so forget that too.

Best is Hawk may have FLIR with very short range and gets too close to target, gets shot down by Nigerian air defences

You cannot attack mobile target without a lock on radar or FLIR.

Data link is only for information telecoms NOT for locking on targets .

Show me where NATO said their jets used data links to lock on targets and attack

Dream on dreamer !

The NAF commander you all quoted for Scorpion jets purchase interest, has said NAF has 11 F-7 jets operational. PROVED BY NAF ITSELF

Thank you for proving me right with the bolded part of your comment.....Data-link is a mere radio telecoms device, NOT a weapon for targeting and locking on enemy.

Data-link only communicates by radio of information to you, it's up to you to go locate that target, get withing firing range, acquire/track target, lock on target, fire on target when you are withing firing range.

You Soweto guys will soon say the tyres of your APCs are weapons because you can drive it over people's heads when they lie down

Buffoons

agaugust:


LOL...F-7NI cannot fire missiles? Why did NAF buy the great and powerful PL-9C missiles and armed the F-7NI ? LOL

LOL....NAF F-7NI have equal capacity missiles with your over-priced Gripens, how unfortunate for you

Even NAF Alpha jets, MBB 339 jets and L-39 jets combine a total of over 40 jets, more than enough to wipe out the SAAF's 24 Hawk jets before your pilots launch anything called weapons

F-7 jets will be facing Gripen jets.

NAF and SAAF are almost equally matched, but NAF has ISTAR aircraft power 66 years ahead of SAAF

i'm also unimpressed by your poor,clueless and amateurish performance against:
(a) seleka rebels
(b) rhino poachers
(c) pirates in angola coasts
(d) cuban recruits in the angolan war.

boko haram isnt a "rag-tag militant" as you so ignorantly claimed.they are more equipped than your troops in DRC.at least they dont lack tents and fuel,neither are they starved,like your troops.

Talk about changing the subject.

Easy, by using passive systems.

They don't need to be behind the enemy line, our mobile radar can still cover hundreds KM behind enemy line while being behind our own.

All GPS is run by the USAF, no matter what country, even that garmin you bought uses USAF. By the point is Moot, we use INS to, in fact GPS is a bad idea since EW can effect it.

Actually the hawks do have targeting pods.

Sorry, they have far better systems than your 2 MPAs

Yes you can, SA hit many a moving target in the 1970s and 1980s with out radar, IR or any thing.

Data link is for sending data, including targeting data. Aka here is a target for you to shoot.

Why NATO?

zaandrew:


Targeting pod.

agaugust:


Tell me lies that Russia and China depend on America for satellite positioning.

Satellite is the only global means of identifying a targets accurate position, South Africa has NO satellite, Nigeria has 3 Satelites so our military is strategically more powerful than your blind bat SANDF that cannot see beyond it's nose.

Nigerian army can see Jacob Zuma undressed in his swimming pool

Satellite gives you the true and sustainable position tracking of a target.

No source to prove SAAF Hawks have the compatible targeting pods because not any pod can work on any aircraft.

Nigerian NAF ATR-42 can radar lock-on multiple dozens of targets 330 km away at the same time, SAAF cannot and CANNOT do that.

NAF Alpha jets have been targeting fast moving enemy vehicles since 20 years ago till today.

SAAF is asleep at home for the past 20 years with ZERO modern day combat experience
.

zaandrew:


Seleka rebels that though both out numbered us and out gunned us suffered heavy losses.

Rhino poachers are still mostly a SANPARK issue, SANDF only helps out. Either way we still kill and capture hundreds of poachers and we still have more rhinos than the entire world combined.

Not one act of piracy in Angolan waters since our deployment.

Cuba sent there best solders and the USSR spent more money there than in Astan.
