First answer my question.

You are the one making the allegations.

Why cant you prove we only have 8?

You said it was a well known fact

So it should be easy

Prove it.

The army is carrying out operations, counter terror operations in those areas.

I know you only have 8. You claim, you have 14 pilots, for 26 planes, like that's a number to be proud of.

You post a link which shows you only have 18 Air Crew members trained for your Gripen Fleet.

Air crew members includes pilots, navigators, gripen technicians, ground crew etc.

You can't prove you have more than 8 pilots, until then, you only have 8 pilots.

You've been caught telling "yourselves" lies.

The Valour Frigates are reported to have a defective combat suite.

@Augustine's post proves even more they are a big fat lame sitting duck.
His source was from 2007, all our Valours have been refitted since then, sources have been posted.

Its supposedly well known, but you cant prove it?

and no, aircrew for gripen = pilots or navigators

Aircrew, also called flight crew, are personnel who operate an aircraft while in flight.

Aparently you hold knee mortars with your hands

Aparently no one bothered to build a handle onto one

Aparently augugbugug is a blithering nitwit

The photo you posted is not SANDF knee mortar, lets see one with SANDF handle or grips.

Meanwhile, a handle is an old fashioned design with risks, your hand is to close to the metal, head wave radiates and you still feel it, then one little mistake and your back hand touches the hot mortar it will skin you alive.

Your SANDF version of knee mortar has poor safety design and is out dated.

Nigeria has advanced to build light detachable and collapsibe tripod stand to beat your poor safety standards

So your Gripen pilots now use Bright orange suits?

Oh!! I forgot Nigerian pilots cannot swim. One word about water will scare away Nigerian for good.

Pilots must be able to can swim, and wherever possible must also use their parachutes as buoyancy to survive. Nigerian pilots will call all names should they eject and land on sea water.

It was not by my own doing that your father and mother borne you out of a country that was so unfortunate to have a single white man. Please, stop polarising the nation of SA. Whites are not immigrants in SA, they were born and bred in SA.

Your Boer white masters are invaders and immigrant armies from Europe, they invaded South Africa to kill, maim, r.ape, enslave, imprison, oppress, humiliate, rule, rob and cheat you blacks in your own ancestral fatherland forever and ever...amen !

Aircrew, also called flight crew, are personnel who operate an aircraft while in flight.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircrew

While for the Military they include

From the start of military aviation, additional crew members have flown on military aircraft. Over time these duties have expanded:

Pilot
Co-pilot
Air gunner, crew member responsible for the operation of defensive weapons, for example gun turrets. Specific positions include nose gunner, door gunner and tail gunner
Bombardier or Bomb Aimer is a crew member for the release of ordnance particularly bombs.
Boom operator, in the USAF the crew member on tanker aircraft responsible for operating the flying boom and the transfer of fuel.
Combat systems officer
Crew chief, an enlisted aircraft mechanic responsible for the maintenance and preparation of the aircraft.
Flight engineer, a crew member responsible for engines, systems and fuel management.
Flight officer
Flight surgeon, not involved in the operation of the aircraft but is considered by some militaries to be aircrew[citation needed].
Loadmaster, crew member responsible for loading freight and personnel and the weight and balance of the aircraft.
Navigator, a crew member responsible for air navigation. Still actively trained and licensed in some present day militaries, as electronic navigation aids can not be assumed to be operational during warfare.
Air observer
Rescue swimmer on air-sea rescue aircraft
Signaller or radio operator, crew member responsible for the operation of the aircraft communications systems.
Tactical coordinator
Weapon systems officer or "Weapon Systems Operator"

In reality your war-time budget is some $5 billion, and accounts for 20% of your governments spending
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/161390-jonathan-signs-nigerias-2014-budget-defence-gets-20-per-cent.html

Our peacetime is $4.7 billion and accounts for less than 6% of government spending http://www.treasury.gov.za/documents/national%20budget/2012/enebooklets/Vote%2022%20Defence%20and%20Military%20Veterans.pdf

Then consider that your military stands at 150 000 while ours stands at 78 000

We spend nearly double the ammount of money per man as you do. And this is our peacetime, the giant is sleeping.


South African foreign dollar debt is a whopping $40 billion, while Nigerian debt is a fantastic $7 billion we can pay off 5 times over and still have pocket change left for new weapons procurement

The white minority are ruling over blek south Africans in every "sense".

White immigrants in Nigeria don't own over 75% of the lands neither do they control the economy.

However, the Nigeria complaining about foreigners dominating the markets are the lazy and
non-competitive ones.




Fam, boast about having white immigrants in south Africa shows you're a victim of inferiority complex.

Again, you're saying the whites in Nigeria have gone into complete extinction - simply because you don't hear about them controlling 80% of the country's economy. grin grin grin

Now, to feel good - you said the whites seeking citizenship in Nigeria are desperate, lol!

However, it's evident in your comment that you're a slave to the whites.

So, in your moronic and inferior world, kissing a white chic is an achievement to brag about? grin grin grin grin grin grin

When will you start bragging about wiping white men's butts after they use the toilet? undecided

You blek south Africans are indeed the UN certified clowns of Africa. grin grin grin grin grin

Who knows, you might have rapedd a white chic just to brag about tasting a white pussi. undecided


this thing of saying that whites are ruling over black south Africans only exists in Nigerians mind,I understand that you people still regard whites as superiors,things have changed in SA,blacks and whites eat on the same plate,our government is addressing the land issue ,slowly but surely we are heading to the right direction,we are doing our things in an south African way not Nigerian way....

What about your ever shrinking foreign reserves? You are using all your savings to protect the integrity of your useless naira. If you would have known that our debt has shrunk more than ever before because we are the nation that is trustworthy. We pay back what we owe and the world is always willing to open their wallets for SA.
