GreenandGold: It is not even 130 million, it is way above that, well above 150 million. Nigeria has a population of 170 million, so in other words you are insinuating that Nigeria with only 4000 MW capacity produces electricity to more people than SA which has 45 000MW capacity. 1 Like |

GreenandGold: That is NOT body armour dude, that is chassis under belly against land mines which MRAPS are supposed to do, NOT IFV. BTR-4 has ground clearance to reduce IED threat. How many IEDs will you meet in a modern day war when land mines have been largely banned? Only insurgents use them, and BTR-4 has protection from basic IED. You don't need land mine to kill Badger IFV, just Boko Haram 12.7mm machine guns will cut into the Badger like my finger pierces butter ![]() ![]() All your 10 soldiers will d.ie inside the Badger when Bokos open fire with browning machine guns . 1 Like |

agaugust: Trolling fool - Insurgents use TNT, they don't give a cow about international laws with banned weaponry - Second the 12.7mm will never do harm to the Badger, the Taliban avoided the Rosomak because not even the 40mm RPG7 could damage it. |

In the meantime, Nigeria (a nation of barbers) begged South Africa to modernize her aged and useless Hinds. Now thank to South Africa, Nigerians have a chance of flying a machine with 21st century avionics. Thank you South Africa 3 Likes |

agaugust: All of the 6th generation IFVs uses the same technology. BTR4 is still lagging behind with tech and is surely not on the same league with a Badger, Patria or Havoc as it is known in the US. |

GreenandGold: Was it done for free? NO Can SANDF/SAAF afford a similar upgrade? NO If Nigeria with approximately 22 Mi-35P (Plus 40 more ordered), upgrades its fleet because it can, how does it change the fact that SANDF/SAAF is broke and can't afford the same, coupled with the fact that the Rooivalk project is stalled. Its just like me buying a Lamborghini and my neighbour who helped in fixing in some custom rims (which I paid for) sounding excited, what should the manufacturers do? So whats your point exactly? 4 Likes |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by xwolverine: 7:44pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
GreenandGold: First. You don't use it because you are stuck with Rooivalk Second. Picture this: 11 Rooivalk vs 22 Hinds. The hinds would be using your pilots as target practice, meanwhile no Grippen pilots to help out(They are still in training, should be ready in 20 years time). The available pilots have no experience of real wars. Third. Higher budget doesn't mean better capability, $40million for Rooivalk? Are your frigging kidding me!!! When I can get: - A faster Hind for $12 million - A JF-17 Thunder $20 million and still have $8 million for armaments. Please don't make me laugh. 3 Likes |
