patches689: The only lie I see exposed is yours. SAAB of Sweden has white engineers maintaining SAAF Gripen jets for you, same way NAF uses Pakistanis After paying millions of dollars bribe to SAAB officials to sell Gripens to you, they still milk you dry for maintenance cash until you could no longer afford it and froze 14 Gripens into long term storage . |

EVarn: Wahahahahahaha!!! you were making noise about SA's not having any military satellite. Now we bring you a source and you unreasonably dispute it. You've now realised that in fact is Nigeria that suffers a real lacking of military spy satellite technology. So, should I make a noise about your deficiency of real spy equipments which operate in all weather, day and night conditions. |

mzilakazi:and thats supposed to mean that they cant use SAMs?,or that they cant be trained to use them?.that you dont have an apple doesnt mean you dont know how to eat one.boko haram do not have SAMs YET,but it doest mean they cant use them. |

andrewza: There is a big difference between receiving information about a target's location and having a fvcking 3km short range FLIR to lock-on and fire weapons at the same target . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 8:42pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
agaugust: That's untrue. Sweden has officially transfered the skill of maintaining Gripens to SA based engineers. Do you even know that some of Brazialian gripens will be fitted parts in SA? Get some education please. |

mzilakazi:you mean the spy satellite that russia IS MAKING for you?.incase you havent noticed dear,russia is under HEAVY sanctions,and only God knows when it gonna be lifted{putin is a stubborn man},so wait for you precious spy satellite till 5014. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 8:46pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
EVarn: BH has never used SAMs before in any of their engagement. So, let us leave this rumours until they have been properly verified by your military. However, since your military wanted to procure new jets, I think insurgents also needed to step up their weapons. |

patches689: South Africa has ZERO satellites. Nigerian satellites are operated and controlled by 100 military officers with relevant masters and doctoral degrees... NEWS AGENCY OF NIGERIA May 18, 2012 Abuja NigeriaSat-2,one of four Nigerian satellites(NigeriaSat-1,NigeriaSat-X and NIGCOMSAT-1R) in orbit. Nigeria would launch a locally manufactured satellite and in 2025 develop rocket and propulsion system. “In 2026 we have allies in electronics and software involved in space technology, and in 2028 we would now launch a Nigeria made satellite.” Ewa enumerated the achievements of the ministry to include the launch of two low earth observation satellites – NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X as well as a communication satellite-NigComSat-1R. He also said a rocketry was successfully launched on Wednesday in Epe, Lagos, while about 40 doctors and 60 masters degree holders had been trained in space technologies. “100 personnel from the military who have been trained in space applications this year are now ready to be involved in surveillance satellite project.” |

patches689: All your post is rubbish. Cuban Bay Of Pigs was a civil revolt, a failed coup detat see your source mentioned thousands of policemen in action About 150 men armed came ashore to overthrow a government they hate. The whole fight was 99% civilians vs police. The whole Bay Of Pigs coup detat crisis ended in about 3 days of civil disobedience, is that a war ? Liar of Gauteng South Africa was defeated by teenage Cuban girls that have not even fought their boyfriends in school, talk less of a war experience.

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 8:59pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
EVarn: The delay for the satellite to be launched was largely because of the control and ownership of the spacecraft. After SA and Russia signed the deal for space technology and industry which will have to be transfered to SA, the full ownership and control of the spacecraft was handed to SA. The ground station will officially be situated in Krugersdorp in Gauteng, that project has already been completed as we speak. |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 9:12pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
mzilakazi: [size=16pt] Fool The project was cancelled because..... "However, around 2007, the South-African government froze Project Flute after the nation's officials had realized that the full control over the satellite and its data would remain in Russian hands and South Africa would depend entirely on NPO Mash for the spacecraft operation. Such an arrangement would likely result in a significant delay of the access to imagery by military users in South Africa after the pictures had been snapped in orbit. In response to the closure of the project, NPO Mashinostroenia threatened with a legal action, probably demanding a compensation for already incurred expenses. Moreover, the scandal around Kondor-E threatened to derail a planned launch of the South-African Sumbandila satellite on a Russian submarine-based missile. (The satellite was eventually launched by the Russian civilian space agency, Roskosmos). The situation also led to demands within the South African parliament to investigate the affair." Eventually Russia took over the satellite, swallowed South Africa's money, and launched the Satellite for Russian use. Ripped off Mandela ! LOL We see South Africans desperate to claim a satellite, because Nigeria has 3 LOL We see South Africans desperate to claim 1 satellite, because Nigeria has 3 LOL We see South Africans desperate to claim 1 satellite, because Nigeria has 3 LOL We see South Africans desperate to claim 1 satellite, because Nigeria has 3 .[/size] |

agaugust: Those satellites are not spy satellites. They are used for earth observation for agricultural purpose, monitoring aftermath of natural disasters, communication and internet coverage. They have nothing to do with military. I thought you were educated in the use of satellites when you raised this subject and I told you that I doubt if Nigeria has a spy satellite. Your satellites are dependant on weather. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:18pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
agaugust: Unfortunately the satellite has already been paid for in cash. Last month the secretary of defence admitted before the parliament that Kondor-E spy satellite was built for SANDF intelligence and that it was a secret project. He told the parliament that it was to be launched this year. Many believe it has already been launched. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 9:20pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
mzilakazi: Butt hurt Fool, earth observation satellites don't care who operates them, they just do the job and reveal secrets. Nigeria has more than what I posted, we just added a brand new state-of-the art radar satellite that NO COUNTRY has in all Africa. South African military is 100 years behind Nigerian military is strategic and tactical surveillance and ISTAR. BUSINESS DAY June 2014. It will no longer be business as usual for pirates, sea robbers, and perpetrators of other criminalities on the Nigerian territorial waters as the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has commenced operations of its satellite surveillance system. The surveillance satellite system which commenced operations last week is aimed at helping the nation in capturing the presence of any vessel that calls Nigeria’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which extends about 200 nautical miles seawards from the coasts of Nigeria. According to industry close watchers, the satellite system would go a long way in minimising criminal activities that are harmful to the economy, such as oil theft, illegal oil refineries and illegal bunkering in the nation’s maritime domain. In a statement signed by Isichei Osamgbi, deputy director, public relations of NIMASA, and made available to BusinessDay recently, the agency said putting the satellite system to use has enabled it, in conjunction with the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Air Force, to successfully rescue a Ghanaian fishing vessel, known as ‘Marine 711’, from suspected hijackers. The Ghana-registered vessel was reportedly hijacked off the coast of Ghana and sailed across Togo and Benin Republic to Nigerian waters when the Embassy of the Republic of Korea contacted the agency to help rescue the vessel, which is owned by its national. The Ghanaian Fisheries Authority and the operators of the fishing vessel joined in requesting NIMASA to bring the incident to a logical conclusion. In a swift operation coordinated by Warredi Enisuoh, NIMASA’s director of shipping development, the agency’s newly-built satellite surveillance system, which is also made up of ‘Cloud Penetrating Radar’ capabilities, was brought to bear and the incident was resolved within six hours. Revealing further, the NIMASA boss said the agency’s team, working with the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Air Force, which used sea and air patrols surveillance, respectively, quickly put up a response and reception plan which led to the hijackers abandoning their mission and fleeing. “The new 24-hour Surveillance Centre has the capability to detect boats, ships and objects of predefined cross-section floating on water. This includes any aircraft that ditches and remains on the surface during satellite over-flight,” the agency explained. “Its abilities further includes but not limited to setting range rings and restricted areas for which when penetrated by an intruder, the system gives an alarm thereby alerting the operator and watch-keeper,” it further said. As regards the rescue operation, Ziakede Patrick Akpobolokemi, director general, NIMASA, expressed satisfaction with the cooperation shown by all parties to the rescue operation, noting that the agency would continue to utilise cutting-edge technology and partnership with the military to secure Nigerian waters from the hands of criminals for enhanced international trade. |

@Agagust- Nigeria has zero military satellite. Stop fooling yourself with earth observation, science and research satellites. I thought this thread was for military or else I will advice you to go and post those pictures in Science and Technology thread. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 9:32pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
agaugust: @Agaugust it doesn't matter, your satellites are not all weather, day and night capable spy satellites. They are only good to be used as research tools by both military and civilians. I will never be deceived by you when it comes to technology. I am in possession of an N6 diploma in Mechanical engineering and am currently furthering my engineering studies with unisa. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 9:33pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
mzilakazi: Fake story with no proof. No source confirms the sale. You cannot buy satellites in secret and the whole world does not know. The only existing story is that the sale was cancelled with good reason stated. Russia won't sell a spy satellite secretly to South Africa without reporting the sale to UN as required by international law. Okay, Nigeria has 100 secret nuclear missiles purchased from Russia in 2014. How about that? Anyway, Russia has robbed South Africa of millions of dollars, President Putin is using the satellite he robbed you of, to fight Ukraine in Crimea South Africa is 100 years behind Nigeria....Butt Hurt . |

agaugust: On October 22, 2014, during a meeting of a Portfolio Committee on Defense and Military Veterans, the South African Defense Secretary Sam Gulube confirmed that a military satellite was "on track" for launch, essentially revealing the South-African connection to the Kondor-E project.
