If every one makes MRAPS, why are they importing them from us?
BTW we also export or exported in the last 10 years:
MRAPs
Fighter Jets
Trainer Jets
Tanks
Howitzers
Sniper rifles
Missile systems
Attack Helos
Simulators
etc..etc..ect


You only have 9 Gripen pilots, have you already began exporting the mothballed Gripen Jets to mexico undecided undecided?

You don't export attack helicopters, you don't even have them, you only got 10.

Trainer jets, you can't export what you don't have.

Sniper rifles, you don't export them either.

Simulators, day dreaming again, you should be more concerned with simulating your 9 Gripen pilots to 26.

Tanks, quit smoking weed, it apparently is too strong for your feeble brain.

Howitzers, you only got 40, are you planning on exporting your lowly 40 howitzers? undecided

MRAPs, A farmer in Namibia makes them. The only reason a couple countries bought your MRAPs was because demand far surpassed their various domestic supplies.

Today, orders have ceased, as the Bushmaster, fennek, CS/VP3, Cougar, BMC kirpi, kaya, dingo, Typhoon have met all demands.

Not even Somalia want your MRAPs, they instead went for the kaya.

Nigeria has Nigeria to supply to. When we are done meeting our domestic demands then we can truly export.

Last year, Proforce Defence got a French government contract for a supply of APC's. tongue tongue

We just started, yet have already began exporting.

Nigeria does not have enough, so why export?

SA exports to nations that have more than you have....Algeria has a bigger and better air force than Southies dream of
.
That increases our influence and allies.

Israel exports to nations that have more than what they have....

Demand means South Africa increases the capabilities of its defence industry, if war was to knock on SA's door the SA military can transform to a monster in a short time.

Early Rueters reports (from the days following the battle) said so - but as the story progressed, they revised the figure to 13


Show us where the same Reuters journalist revised SANDF casualties to 13 by his own account.

You are re-exporting European weapons imported into South African military. You take glory for that?

Nigeria can export our Jaguar jets, F-7 jets, Vickers tanks, etc all because we are replacing them.

So that makes Nigeria an arms exporter ?

The fact that SA exports what it imported, made your position on world arms market rise, and it is a fake impression.

The most expensive South African arms exports are aircraft imported from Europe, used and re-exported, them your arms sales revenue goes up and you claim that you manufactured those weapons.....FRAUD cheesy cheesy

Common sense is subjective, just because we Kenyans don't say what you want to hear doesn't make less common sense. First of all you should care to know the damn difference between alshabaab and alQaeda,

the 1998 Bombing of the US embassy was carried out by Osama bin Laden, while he was leaving in Sudan - when Sudan was still one Nation. It was the first statement of Osama, against the US.

The other attack on Nov. 14, 2002 -- Terrorist attack at an Israeli-owned hotel in Kikambala- Was carried out by palestinian Terrorists with direct links to alqaeda, The first terrost attack on Kenyan soil actually happended in the 70s carried out by palestinians, they are still holding a grudge atfer Kenya help Israeli free about 120 israeli hostages from Uganda entebe airport in 'Operation Thunderbolt' in wiich palestinian terrost had hijacked an Israeli plane and landed it in Uganda, wich Idi amin supported. Since then there have been many palestinian and Iranian terrorist caught in Kenya with Explosives,.... After the rescue Idi Amin issued orders to retaliate and slaughter several hundred Kenyans present in Uganda, the kenyans had to run away back to Kenya. Thats why Kenya is the strongest Isreali Ally in Africa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Entebbe

Alshabaab attacks started in 2011, after alshabaab started kidnapping people from Kenya, and Kenya declared war on alshabaab and alshabaab promised to retaliate, thats when alshabaab attacks started.

Alshabaab attacks inside Kenya happen in this manner, they hide among the population, use sleeper cells either created long time ago by alqaeda or created by there sympathizers, take mortor bike throw a grenade in to a restaurant or bar, then run away like cowerds, or in other situations, they send guys on a suicide mission, to launch gun attacks and if police are near-by then they would die as martyrs and if they are not then they escape. Most of the time, they use the minimum number to cause maximu damage.

On the other hand boko-Haram anounce that they are going to attack tomorrow!!! Then they come in there convoys, and when they attack a town, they take control of everything, Everything, including any military barracks near the town, Isnt that a bigger mockery!!! When you guys retaliate, they just attacke another town, it just goes on and on.

And for your info, Kenya too has waged battle with intenal isurjency inside its own soil and won. An e.g is the shifta war between Kenya and somali fighting for territory. After a ceasefire deal was signed, the local population along the boder on wasn't satisfied and they started a bloody insujency that whent of for years, and it was bloody, supported by the then legitimate somali government. and at that time the northern part of Kenya was exlusivly inhabited by Somalis, so don't give us an excuse about your war beeng supported by religious leaders or muslims, every insurjecy has someone supporting it. If you know they support it, why don't you arrest them? Even after declaring a state of emergency in three states, BH still gets its supplies and funding, they still run arround in APCs. You don't have to arrest or Kill every single muslim that supports BH, atleast just take out the guys with pick-ups and APCs and Big anti-aircraft guns for a start so they can stop posting pics showing off to the rest of the world

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifta_War


When Kenya has eliminated ALL terrorism 100% on your home soil, come back and criticize Nigeria.

That is common sense

Firstly Rhino poaching is a SANparks problem and not the priority of the SANDF
And secondly if you didnt know, its a good thing if you have NEVER fought a battle at home ,it means our defence force is actually doing their job by protecting our boarders ,unfortunitly the same cant be said for the Nigerian armed forces.

The Super Hind is produced by ATE South Africa, the whole aircraft can either be assembled in SA and then exported, or existing platforms can be upgraded to Super Hind specifications, and yes we did export/Upgrade Algerian Hinds: www.redstar.gr/Foto_red/Eng/Helicopter/SuperHind.html

2. Tanzanian commander was the cheaper option, and who actually commanded SANDF troops?

3. SANDF were not defeated by Rhino poachers - its law enforcement

4. A failed state? A failed state has vast swaths of its land under the controll of enemy combatants, a failed state has allmost 20 armed insurgent groups, a failed state has minimal infastructure, the majority in poverty, tops the world terror rankings and has 1,6 million people displaced.
