Why was Mizikalazi and you fraudsters parading Swedish Gripen pilots as South-Africans?
They are SAAF Gripens.

South Africa has test pilots, some of the reserves.

I have proven you have 9 pilots.

9 pilots for 26 planes isn't a great number.
In 2010 SAAF had 10 Gripen pilots.

No, you don't, you only have 9. While the cezch republic can muster 80 Air crew and ground personnel for 5 Gripen Jets.

Łucznik-Radom Firearms Factory [Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom] will supply a batch of 1000 Beryl M762 7,62 mm Carbines to the Nigerian Armed Forces. The weaponry is to be used, among other purposes, for counter-terrorism tasks and by soldiers taking part in peacekeeping operations.
Scope of the agreement implemented by the Radom-based company includes delivery of 1000 examples of the firearms, along with the maintenance kits and training bundle for the soldiers of the Nigerian Land Forces. The carbines are to be transferred to Nigeria in mid-January 2015.

At the moment, Nigerian Army soldiers participate in a training programme in Radom. The Łucznik facility press services stress the fact that the contract has been preceded with a series of successful test programme that checked the capabilities of the carbine.

Another contract is planned to be signed – this time a batch of 5000 Beryl carbines is to be delivered to Nigeria. The firearms which are the subject of the present contract will be used as a counter-terrorism measure. The weaponry will also be transferred to the peacekeeping forces.

In accordance with the information provided by the Łucznik company, this is the first time ever Beryl carbines have been sold outside the Polish Borders. President Tomasz Nita claims that “commercial activities, in country and abroad” are being realized, and the manufactured armament will be offered to other armed forces as well.

Powerful rifle, sights target 1,000m and effective fire 600m. Good choice for Nigerian army's new 5,000 man COIN brigade.

Nigeria is buying everything from new rifles to tanks to jet figthers to missiles to warships to satellites......meanwhile, our Southie friends are still window shopping with their pocket full of cowrie shells....no money o !

South Africa has somewhere between 15-20 pilots.

In 2010 4 pilots graduated, first group of pilots trained in SA.

Among the group was the first female Gripen pilot.

Initially Sweden trained 6 pilots excluding test pilots and others involved in the programme.

6+4=10. That was in 2010. When 4 Gripens were still in Sweden.

According to a defenceweb article dated 2014, South-Africa only has 18 Gripen Aircrew.

Stop making emotional posts. You only have 9 pilots, deal with it.

It also shows an un-identified Anti-ship missile on an Algerian Lynx, it has to be the Algerians.

Nigeria's high commissioner to pakistan,have according to reliable reports,started pushing for a nigerian-pakistani alliance in tackling terrorism and strengthing military firepower.this resent stance by the nigerian government was further reaffirm during a summit recently held in pakistan where the nigerian high commissioner to pakistan openly negotiated for a defence alliance with pakistan.this is coming in the wake of a face off between nigeria and the US over arms sales and training of military personnel.the nigeria intelligence agency have alledged that the US military instructors sent to nigeria were tutoring troops in false doctrines about nigeria's unity,and psycologically coarsing troops to turn against their loyality to nigeria.it was further reported that troops under the tutorship of US military trainers were the ones that attempt mutiny after being deployed.the US has denied all accusations.

Mokopa is an anti-tank missile....and SANDF/SAN/SAAF does NOT have it.

Any other aircraft launched anti-tank missile in this world like Mi-35 Hinds Ataka missile can be used as an improvised anti-ship missile, but only effective on very small boats because of the very small explosive TNT warhead and HEAT ordnance on such missiles, HEAT is not very effective against non-armour materials like sea vessels.

Also the Mokopa has NO sea skimming capability and has a very POOR 10km range for an anti-ship missile....you are just fascinated by a improvised inefffective land based missile, the slow speed of the helicopter and low ceiling will make it suicidal to use against a frigate that has SAMs and 76mm main gun with 15km range, even an OPV will blast the helicopter into pieces before it can get Mokopa into range of 10km.

Delusional Papa Ajasco in a fruitless frenzy, only pirates will fear Mokopa at sea grin grin

Show proof.

Also count how many of your white pilots have run away to Australia.

Then count how many pilots have lost annual qualification due to drop in flying hours caused by lack of aviation fuel and inability to maintain Gripens in flying condition as a result of pocket ripping flight cost per hour.

In 2010 SAAF has already 10 pilots excluding reserves.

The first SAAF Gripens were delivered in 2008.

But the SANDF/SA already had senior officers in Sweden taking part in the development the Gripen.

Training is different. Look at performance/Kill ratio during Lion effort.

Retired pilots in SAAF similar to the SF form the reserve.

By 2010 SAAF already had 10 pilots. Today that number is somewhere around 18-20.

Nigeria only has 2.

Information: SA didn't buy the Gripens off-shelf like the countries you mentioned.

With that in your head SAAF Gripens are not operational systems. They are undergoing Operational test and evaluation. South Africa is the only country with a Gripen test flight centre outside of Sweden.

Increasing pilots is not the priority. Once they(Gripens) are operational you'll see more pilots trained like those countries.
