Although the casspir was and still is one of the best mraps in the world, it will be nice to have some newer technology in SANDF mechanized infantry brigades.but good thing is that mraps are one thing SA never as to worry about, there are a sh;t load of the all over the place.

Jap! correct and yes we have lots of sun light here,about 17 hours which is a lot.

EVarn:
exactly,ghadaffi was branded a 'terrorist' for what?,osama bin laden killed thousands of americans like chrismas turkey,yet he ran rampant for nearly 10 years,no war drones entered into afghanistan to blitz it into the stone ages.why ghadaffi then?..i strongly oppose democracy as we practise it in africa,yes the people can chose who they like,but let their be limits to the craze for power!

jln115:

I think that the problem we have is that their are to little honest people out there that put their people before him/her self, and this is a problem that nothing can fix, not democracy , not communism and not dictatorship, their will always be power crazed people no matter in which way the country is governed. Its a problem with no solution really.

you'd get a good tan there{if you're white skinned},and i do love tans.i have relatives who lived for a while at mosselbay.oh..LOL..i was talking about power{called 'light' here in nigeria}.

jln115:

Hahahah most probably get burned rather than a tan always forget the sunscreen , dont blacks get tanned too i mean look at those Southern Suddan folks they are almost charcoal colour by spending so much time in the desert? hahha thought you ment sunlight, but in SA those who have electricity have it 24/7(or the last few days 23/7) doesnt matter where you live. And here in SA we use the word robot for Traffic-lights it really messes with the tourist who come to SA as they think we mean a real robot

BTW what english does Nigeria use, british or American, the text box keeps on showing me that my spelling is incorrect when i use british english words like colour vs color.

Henry120:


Oga, you do not have 14 Gripen pilots, you only got 8.

"Besides are you seriously proud you only managed to train 14 pilots for 26 planes after 15 years?".

Is this something to be proud of

How low can you sink?

If you could read properly, you would have noticed I did not make any claim about praying for you.

Go back, read properly. Problem is, you make too many fraudulent claims, it's almost impossible to keep tabs.

Patches 689, SAAF only has 8 pilots for 26 Gripens. This is the fact.

Henry120:


8 pilots
26 Gripens
15 years
18, 000 hours flown almost entirely by your presidential air fleet.

Bravo.

agaugust:


Name the 7 Frigates

Prove it with clear Source

patches689:


The "fact" you dont have a shred of evidence for?

Nigeria only has 2 pilots, this is indisputable fact

Henry120:


You see how you're back to telling lies

As at November the U.S has carried out more than 270 airstrikes on ISIL positions in kobani.

BEIRUT (AP) — More than two months into its assault on Kobani, the Islamic State group is still pouring fighters and resources into trying to capture the besieged Syrian Kurdish town, but the drive has been blunted.

Helped by more than 270 airstrikes from a U.S.
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/fe772268a5fd4145a5ef006e55961c09/islamic-state-groups-drive-kobani-blunted

ISIS fighters are not 15 meters away from pershmerga forces, as the forces only joined in the conflict. ISIL fighters are definitely not 15meters away from YPG fighters.

ISIL fighters are still dug in, in kobani despite having no form whatsoever of air support, and in turn taken over 270 U.S air strikes.

This is a military failure, no matter how anybody wants to spin this. It has show, if you don't have the resources the U.S has, you have no business deploying Fighter jets for CAS. It would be a catastrophic failure for that nation.

Kobani proves once and for all, fighter jets have no place in CAS.

270+ U.S airstrikes, and also coalition patners strikes.
Over 2 months
A single town on the border,
ISIL still dug in.

Yet, you claim it to be a success for Fighter jets

Clown.

Well built ships have very long hull life, and all the software and electronics of the Drakensberg where upgraded.

Yes, old fashioned Delta wing shape of old fashioned Gripen jets ! Proved below

.

jln115:


So it only has(HM sight) witch is used for targeting

agaugust:


It has NO stealth-like design, and the radar is NOT solid state modern type, it's old. Deal with it, SAS Drakensberg is old, go see what Algeria just purchased for the same purpose, and you will angrily sink your own Drakensberg in anger !
.

jln115:

SAS Drakensberg is a replenishment ship it doesnt need to be stealthy and no Algeria does not have a stealthy replenishment ship, but our valours are of stealth design, know go back to your Village you tw@t!

jln115:

And iam guessing the Rafale and Eurofighter are also old fashioned and obsolete according to the village idi0t?

JF-17 Thunder has HMD.....Proved....Please go sleep on a railway track till the train passes over you

You don't have the capabilities offered by the SAS Drakensburg we built, it's very dated.

agaugust:


It's just a logistics ship, NAF Alpha jets threat drove your Drakensberg away from Ivory Coast some years ago

Cowards

jln115:

Imagine if SA and Nigerian Governments just stoped being so stubborn,free trade between the 2 will be great our economy, i mean we both have what the other needs, for example SA has Coal,gold,Platinum Nigeria has OIL(a biggie) and what ever more you guys have what we dont.

jln115:

Yes almost forgot about the paramount group, same guys who made this beast:

jln115:

HAHAH 3rd world problems! But to be honest south africa is relatively cheap, with $5000 doller you can buy a decent car! ia mean my car didnt even cost $5000

agaugust:


Nigeria now produces brand new cars for $7,000 as Nissan and Peugeot rolled out from last year full scale high tech auto industry in Nigeria
.

MikeCZAR:
Out dated? Since when do Nigerians know anything about "out dated" equipment?

NN Thunder is older than the SAS Drakensberg.

NN Aradu is older than the Drankensberg.

The new patrol ship similar to Thunder you received from the USA, is older than Drankensberg?

The missiles on Aradu aree older than her.

Your ungrateful current ANC government created open rivalry and envy instead of open black brotherhood and partnership.

Mandela and Mbeki almost achieved what you said, Zuma wrecked it all
