MikeCZAR:whats this ebola czar saying?.unlike you guys who require botswana's help in eliminating ordinary rhino poaching,a task that your vaunted SANDF cant do,our military personnels receive the best trainings in all fields of combat.we can overrun your neighbouring{SADC} countries in weeks,subsequently come knocking on pretoria's door and pissing on the calabash stadium at the same time. |

Patchesagain: You personally old the most advanced RPG to Afghanistan terrorists? The Challenger tank was hit by an RPG and the fact remains that it was penetrated. Simple. The armour on the Badger IFV five times weaker than the armour of Challenger MBT that was penetrated by RPG. Poland's Rosomak IFV in your own source was hit by an ordinary HE RPG-7 not Armour Piercing RPG or HEAT RPG-7 that penetrates even Main Battle Tanks that have 100mm solid steel armour. Does your Badger have the armour equal to a tank ? No ! Then according to your own source the Rosomak IFV was not the ordinary version, it was the special version with upgraded armour built to resist RPG. The report also says that an RPG was fired directly on the Rosomak IFV frontal armour which is always the thickest armour on any IFV. "In early 2008 a Polish Rosomak serving in Afghanistan (the version with upgraded armor) was attacked by Taliban rebels. The vehicle was hit by two RPG-7 rockets. In June 2008 a Rosomak was attacked by Taliban and was hit in its frontal armor with a RPG. The armour was not penetrated." Old RPG-7 HEAT shell is built to penetrate over 500mm thick armour of steel, so even if Badger IFV has double the armour of Ratel, with 40mm thickness all round, the RPG-7 HEAT will slice through the Badger like a hot knife cuts through butter. "The RPG-7 can fire a variety of warheads for anti-armor (HEAT, PG-Protivotankovaya Granata) or anti-personnel (HE, OG-Oskolochnaya Granata) purposes, usually fitting with an impact (PIBD) and a 4.5 second fuze. Armor penetration is warhead dependent and ranges from 300mm to 600mm of RHA armour; one warhead, the PG-7VR, is a 'tandem charge' device, used to defeat reactive armor with a single shot. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPG-7 Badger will die roasted by one single shot from an old generation anti-armour RPG-7 ! Better go write your final will on how your property will be shared among your family and close relatives. Fool ! . |

Patchesagain: In future, use your head wisely. When people quote vehicle armour millimeters for you in summary, they only mention frontal armour, unless the person wants to write long story about six different armour thicknesses around the same vehicle on different parts. Learn to use your head, a website posted BMP-2 summary below and all that was mentioned in the summary is 33mm armour You Domingo Block-Head .

mzilakazi: Nigeria has more than oil, we also have gas and condensates as our second and third type of hydrocarbon. We also have many solid minerals in top world rankings, like Bitumen, Limestone, etc. I proved it on this forum last year, Nigeria is the richest country in Africa by natural resources, second is Congo DRC. |

Patchesagain: NATO has air to surface missiles to defeat the Shilka, but South Africa has NONE ! A high speed 1,500 km/hr air to surface missiles is as fast as a jet fighter and hard for a Shilka to shoot down, but a snail slow speed 85 km/hr South African Gripen guided bomb is a simple target practice for a Shilka radar and 4-barrel guns to tear into pieces ! ANC and SANDF-SAAF were stupiid enough to buy 26 Gripen jets and could not think of removing one Gripen from the shopping list and use the saved $50 million to buy BVR missiles and Maverick air to surface missiles. Nation of plum headed Olodos |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 4:18am On Nov 29, 2014 |
Henry120: Gripen does no real ISTAR, it does Recce, that is what NATO officially declared they did, and not alone, only 37% of the Recce was done by Gripen jets from Sweden. Real capable NATO Recce aircraft did the major Recce work in Libya, other aircraft did 63%. Gripen jet is fake ISTAR....LOL ! |

Patchesagain: [size=14pt]Every modern army in this world has accountants, and PMCs use them too. Anywhere money is present to be accounted for, you find accountants. Btwn, in the American military, graduates of accounting and all other fields are commissioned as combatant officers after relevant training, your first degree is not barrier, and few people have BSc military science, American General Colin Powel has BSc Geology and Masters Degree Business administration and he is armoured corp combatant officer. America will accept any type of BSc into military service. Then why are you obsessed about my photo, my red zone camo uniform and my gun ? I will post it when you post your source for ATR-42 radar range ! . [/size] |

Patchesagain: Two seat Gripen is trainer version NOT special ISTAR version, the extra cockpit console is an instrument panel for student-instructor training interface, I have entered jet fighter trainer cockpit before and had a look dude ! . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 4:36am On Nov 29, 2014 |
Patchesagain: Exactly what NATO said, Gripens do ONLY Recce NOT any ISTAR...Proved by you, thanks Patrick my boy ! . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 4:50am On Nov 29, 2014 |
Patchesagain: America has other amphibious vehicles and they are rapidly building new ones to catch up with Russia. SANDF has ZERO amphibious capability, you are stuck to dray land combat only, SANDF will drown when it faces water terrain .

Patchesagain: Welcome to the TRUTH century, Badger has NO composite armour, all it has is common steel that RPG-7 will tear into pieces. Liar, you Liar ! "The Badger is made in all-welded steel armour which provides a protection against firing of small arms and shell splinters." http://www.armyrecognition.com/south_africa_african_army_wheeled_armoured_vehicle/badger_denel_8x8_armoured_infantry_fighting_vehicle_technical_data_sheet_specifications_pictures_.html . |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 6:19am On Nov 29, 2014 |
Henry120: No it is not. If it was soldiers from Afghanistan, Somalia, Mali and Congo would be the best in the world. Again, as Gulf War 1 showed, combat experience is useless when your foe is better motivated, trained and organized. This has been common knowledge since ROMAN TIMES.... the saying: Their drills are bloodless battles and their battles are bloody drills |

agaugust: So, is that a problem? Ethiopia does not have a navy, so does that count negatively to them? SA has engineer corps who can build a bridge in just matter of minutes. Capability that Nigeria does not have. |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MikeCZAR: 7:21am On Nov 29, 2014 |
EVarn:Angola can stop you in your trails before we can even get involved. You failed to stop the rebels in Mali. West Africa is the worst region in Africa led by the supposed giant. Rhino poaching isn't a military threat. Around less than 1000 rangers guard an area almost the size of Israel. Again Nigerian soldiers aren't that well trained. |
