Nope, credible sources say only welded steel armour, giving Badger protection only against small arms carried by infantry hands.

Yes, that is the basic protection.

It can be up-armored as needed. Because of its modular design you simply undo some nuts, replace the plate and do them up again.

and poachers have captured kruger park.
the military base is gonna be recaptured in a couple of days,so it ain't a loss.

Lol, we managed to hold our base in Bangui until after the cease-fire

You lost a military base in your own country

And lets not even mention that you have potentially just re-armed and re-supplied potentially thousands of BH fighters

Obviously, rebels can not kill all soldiers,those who are lucky escapes, as easy as that. I know

How far did blacks wreck other blacks?


THAT MEANS ONLY ABOUT 30 MILLION NIGERIANS OUT OF TOTAL OF 170 MILLION HAVE ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY.

ALMOST OVER 42 MILLION SOUTH AFRICANS OUT OF TOTAL OF 50 MILLION HAVE ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY.

Your soldiers are butchered inside their own country and right inside their camp at home. That's an embarrassment of the worst order.

Same as Seleka Child soldiers, they were as well trained rigorously. Boko haram has thousands of young female and child soldiers who slaughter Nigerian troops right inside their own camp many a times.

pfft.baga is a remote village on our border with chad,according to the article,"boko haram attacked baga in a convoy of military vehicles",i'd wager that it was chadian troops in affialiation with a cell of boko haram that attacked.
our troops werent slaughtered,they fought back,unlike your troops that were vigorously waving white pants instead of defending themselves.

opinion indeed.the silky truth is that the world has a limited number of attack-helicopter brands,the Apache is currently world best,the Hind comes second along with the cobra etc....but a glaring fact is that the rooivalk is an old man's retirement cruise-wagon.
In terms of flight performance or characteristics the Rooivalk is on the same bar or even better then the Apache.

With sensors, avionics etc upgrades similar the Apache E it would be better.

The Tiger is at the same "age" as the Rooivalk.

RELIGIOUS TERROR
Boko Haram fighters overpower
multinational force in attack at
Nigeria-Chad border
BAUCHI, Nigeria – Boko Haram Islamic
extremists have overpowered a multinational
military force and seized its key base on
Nigeria's border with Chad, according to
residents who took to canoes to escape.
Scores of soldiers and civilians were killed, while
others drowned in Lake Chad, Nigerians taking
refuge in a Chadian village said in cell phone
calls Sunday night. They said insurgents fired
rocket-propelled grenades and automatic
assault rifles and hurled explosives.
"They came in their hundreds driving several
Hilux patrol vehicles, trucks and some were on
motorcycles and immediately began to throw
explosives and bombs," fisherman Audu Labbo
told The Associated Press.
He and others reached by phone Sunday night
said the troops from Nigeria and its neighbors
Chad, Cameroon and Niger fought on Saturday
until they ran out of ammunition. Details on the
attack were slow getting out of the remote area.
Some soldiers removed their uniforms and threw
away their rifles, Labbo said.

A senior security officer in Maiduguri, the capital
of Borno state, confirmed that the military base
at Baga is under the control of the insurgents.
He said the multinational force fled because it
received no reinforcements despite holding out
for several hours. The officer spoke on condition
of anonymity because he is not authorized to
give information to reporters.
There are fears the extremists could use Baga
as a base to attack Maiduguri, some 125 miles
to the southwest.
Labbo said the insurgents' bombs and grenades
set aflame several buildings that burned to the
ground -- businesses, government offices,
homes and part of the military base.
Boko Haram has been regionalizing the conflict
with recent attacks on Chadian villages and a
military base.
Thousands of people have died and some 1.6
million have been driven from their homes in the
5-year-old Islamic extremist uprising.

One thing that Nigerian soldiers are nototious about is removing the uniform and throw away rifles. Seems that even their authorities are comfortable with that kind of reckless behavior by soldiers.

you didnt train "a large majority of them",you trained their founding fighters{who were a small minority},who later trained more 'fearsome' recruits,and in the end,according to france,over 50 of your troops were brought down like squealing pigs.contrary to SA's estimate of 13 dead soldiers.
fact:
about 37 of your soldiers didnt recieve a proper befitting burial just because your country wanted to knitt their wounded pride and cover-up the whole issue.

There is difference between slavery and political oppression. Slaves work without remuneration as in the episode of mercantile slavery in west Africa. The Negroids were sold by their own brothers to work for their masters for free.

Political oppression and racism is when one group of people are being oppressed and discriminated against on the basis of colour and ethnicity.
