You made no sense! 8 out of the top 10 universities in Africa are from South Africa, and SA has 4 universities in the top 500 universities in the world, Please explain how you came up with your ridiculous statement.

LOL, that's an SANDF design knee mortar below, does Nigeria's AGL look like that of SANDF ? Are they from same manufacturer? The simple proof of knee mortar is that it's knee height so you have to go down on your knee to use it, the Nigerian knee mortar is knee height and the soldier is down on his knee to use it. You are dull like a dullie , worse than Baba Suwe !

That is not the definition of a knee mortar.

F7 is too weak to can even defeat BH, so how will it defeat valour standing clear from 15 km range.

Light weight Mortar =/= Commando Mortar

Its not size, its not weight, its design that differentiates it.

This is really basic stuff. You should know this.

Commando mortar refers to a class of infantry light mortars designed for maximum portability and rapid deployment, at the expense of accuracy and repeatability.

Commando mortars often feature design simplifications such as straps instead of bipods, carrying handles, and limited aiming equipment. Some commando mortar straps are marked with measurements, with the intent that the mortarman step on a marked point of the sling and pull the sling taut, at which point the mortar will be angled so as to fire to the range marked at that point of the sling.

Knee mortar is another word for Commando mortar

Due to a translation error, the Type 10 was called the "knee mortar" by the Americans. The manual for the mortar instructed the troops to carry the mortar on the upper thigh, with the baseplate attached to the belt and the barrel running down the thigh. American troops on Guadalcanal became aware of the name "knee mortar" and thought the light design allowed it to be fired with the baseplate resting on the thigh. If the Type 10 were fired in this manner, it would result in serious injury due to recoil. However, once a few troops injured themselves, the mistranslation was discovered and further experimentation discouraged.

The Type 89 Grenade Discharger (八九式重擲弾筒 Hachikyū-shiki jū-tekidantō?) colloquially known as a knee mortar by Allied forces, is a Japanese grenade launcher or light mortar that was widely used in the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War.

All the air defense guns on Valour frigates are useless against F-7 jet, NAF attacks from amid-ship over deck, all your guns are limited angle of elevation and unable to fire at target on the perpendicular to the deck.

I have 3 different angles and positions to attack your ship if I want to use 6km range rockets. Carpet-bombing a huge sitting duck warship when my jet has ground search radar, is an easy ball game that will cost you your entire navy fleet of frigates in one day....SAN will cry....Zuma will cry....widows will cry.....Soweto will cry....

Valour Class can detect your F-7 180km away

It will position itself so that the guns are facing the target

And do you think there will just be one? Multiple Valour class in overlapping feilds of fire

Carpet bombing is not a viable solution - hence why the Argentinians did not do it in the Falklands

And what are these magical 6km rockets you speak of yet are unable to post?

Valour frigate detecting F-7 jet at 180km is a waste of range, NO SINGLE weapon gun or missile in your over-priced frigate can fire above 8km altitude. At 180km your navy just keeps looking at radar screen like I watch my CNN on Tv...your navy can fvcking do nothing to my F-7 shocker of a jet !

Simple S-13 rocket pods have range 6km, F-7 can sink your frigate from behind where CIWS range is only 4km anti-air.

F-7 can also fly amidships above deck at 90 degrees because your CIWS gun is useless at that perpendicular since it's maximum elevation is limited to 85 degrees. My F-7 jet has a free ride over your guns, ALL your freaking impotent guns

From a distance of 180 km away, the valour will notice F7s presence and prepare steadily to knock it out of the surface of the earth.

I posted photo of NAF F-7 smoking gun here last month, NAF also confirmed to public that F-7 has been ravaging and damaging Boko Haram.

That warns you about NAF's hot smoking current form in air to surface combat skills and experience.

If NAF can use F-7 to blaast Boko Haram inside cities mixed with houses and innocent civilians, just imagine how easy it is for NAF to target a huge warship sitting alone like a doomed duck on a wide and clear open ocean where your ship is the only object floating there like stark n..a..k..e..d !
