It doesn't change the fact you only got 8 Gripen pilots. Neither would it increase your Gripen pilot numbers from 8 to 9.

Possible IPVs:
Pic 1: Paramount Group (42m Trimaran)
Pic 2: Veecraft (30m wave-piercer inshore patrol vessel)
Pic 3: Damen Shipyards (Stan Patrol 5009 50m)
Pic 4: SA Shipyards ( No related pic)

My Personal Favorite is the 42m Trimaran, the fact that it has a landing dock makes it much more versatile than its competition.

Are you the one personally buying OPV for South Africa? Abeg show us official source....oh ! Wait....the OPV South Africa dreams to buy has NO NAME....because they will buy NOTHING.

Come to Lagos ask Naija navy to let you borrow 10 Stealth Combat Catamarans for free

You dont have stealth catamarans buddy, i posted a source from the manufacturer that dispute your claims.

Nigerian navy has already ordered about 5 of those DAMEN OPV you posted above.

South Africa will end up with fishing trawlers, you can mount machine guns on them as your own OPV

18 Gripen Air crew doesn't equal 18 Gripen Pilots.

Besides, even if we are to see this claim from your POV, 18 pilots (lower of course), 26 planes, 15 years, is this a number to be proud of?

18 Aircrew doesn't equal 18 pilots.

How many pilots were trained?
What are the number of navigators trained?

My answer.

8 pilots trained
10 navigators.
I didnt say we have 18 pilots did i. And why will we have 10 navigators if we only have 8 two seater gripens, and only 12 gripens are in rotation thus 26-12= 14, that means 14 pilots and 4 navigators see, and i posted a pic of 9 saaf gripens in formation.

Are you deliberately stupid? Or are you just a result of South Africa's rubbish education system? Or is it just a combination of both?
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MduZA: 12:07am On Dec 16, 2014
ChukwuCantDie:
"The report released last week titled Mathematics Outcomes in South African Schools, cites among others, data collected in 2007, which shows that the majority of grade 6 teachers in South Africa cannot answer a question that their pupils ought to be able to answer based on the grade 6 curriculum."

"In one example, only 23% of South African grade 6 mathematics teachers could answer (such a grade 6 question) — with the proportion answering correctly ranging from 13% for quintile one teachers to 46% for quintile five teachers". Quintile 1 schools are the more disadvantaged schools and for the most part do not charge fees, while quintile 5 schools are regarded as more privileged and generally charge fees."


Sadness, I genuinely feel sorry for my true African brothers and sisters down there in South Africa and I hope your lives will improve.

If we wanted to, there local Nigerian companies which can build vessels upto 110 meters in length.

Here are armoured catamarans built for the Nigerian military.

First it looks nothing like your Photo-shopped pic, secondly we built a 150m ship in 1984 and we are still doing today, and lastly why would we fear small harbor patrol boats?

You are really dumb.

The marine I posted above is carrying an M224 light weight mortar. It is light weight because it can be easily carried around by a single soldier. The mortar in that photo isn't a commando mortar.

#knowyourmortars.

Olodo rabata.

Its a commando mortar

Your own source does NOT even mention COMMANDO at all, instead of helping you get out of this Monday afternoon trap that you foolishly brought upon yourself as usual, your source proves me right by saying Knee mortar is light mortar.

You are trapped again as usual @Patches....Trapped by own argument shocked shocked
.

So you didnt look at the picture of a Japanese Knee Mortar?

I showed you the origines of the word "knee mortar", and it has nothing to do with the ludicrious definition that you made up
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:45am On Dec 16, 2014

Why should they look alike? They are designed by different manufacturers and the Japanese design is 1940s, Nigeria's design is year 2000s...a whole 60 years generational gap for improvements and redesigning.

Do Japanese air force planes of 1940 look like JF-17 Thunder of 2012 ? Answer me now Baba Suwe...

Because that is what commando/knee mortars look like

Yours looks like a normal mortar

NAF ATR-42 has been watching your Valour frigate from 330km away and NN coastal radar sees your frigate over 500km away. NA Satellite saw your Valour frigate leave naval base Simons Town from 5,000km away. Nigeria is the current reigning champion African James Bond world class Spy Master !

first no

Obviously, you would always beg to differ. The point is both a light weight mortar and a commando mortar can easily be carried by a single soldier.

Your mortar breaks down into 3 unweildy components

it can be carried by a minimum of 2

and it takes time to set up
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 12:49am On Dec 16, 2014

There is no difference. They are both commando and light weight mortars. Just different categories.

correct

one is a commando mortar

one is a lightweight mortar
