patches689: Nigeria rejected intervention forces from world super powers including America, then Britain and the great Australian green beret desert special forces. so AU can go intervene in Cameroon that is begging for foreign help, they may accept HIV sick South African soldiers in Paul Biyas homeland . 2 Likes 2 Shares |

agaugust: First, there is no such thing as the "australian green beret desert special forces", you child. And further - the west never offered intervention forces only assistance. Second, yes then Cameroon will get help and the people of Cameroon will be safe - while your country burns. This post by augubugug shows how overly emotional nigerians are - they have no sense, no logic. Did the English turn down American help during the war? Did Vietnam or North Korea turn down Russia? Did Angola turn down Cuba? You are losing a war and you turn down help? Fools. 2 Likes |

MikeCZAR: Pakistan is a nuclear power and world power. France had it's capital Paris held to ransom and locked down by only 2 terrorists for several days. Let 1,000 terrorists mixed among civilians rise up with RPG and heavy machine guns inside Paris and let's see French army compared to Nigeria. France is a Christian nation and does not face Nigeria's threat level. Poachers have been sitting down on SANDF owned portion of South African land allocated and gifted to your army by ANC government, the poachers don't even fear your army, they are freeling robbing and stealing and breaking law on army land ![]() ![]() Your helpless army is busy with HIV treatment and cannot recapture their land from local hunter poachers. |

patches689: Green berets is the common nickname for Australian special forcee you dummy. Nobody helped Nigeria defeat Biafra, nobody is needed to defeat Boko Haram, American help did not defeat Taliban in Afghanistan after 11 years of NATO power show. We are not losing any war with Boko Haram, Great Britain fought 27 long war with IRA terrorists, so 4 years against Bokos is nothing to worry about. Nobody helped Algeria to defeat terrorists in an 11 year war and 150,000 Algerians died. Nigeria needs NO foreign soldiers, we will continue to do things our own way. Anybody with intervention desires can try his luck with Cameroon. Period ! . |

MikeCZAR: I am the one who posted the last modern day jet vs ship war here from Falklands war records of casualties and losses. Old school Skyhawk jets of Argentina sank British warships in a fleet that has SAM air defense. When a navy has no air force protection it becomes a fat helpless sitting duck. NAF will sink SANs lone ranger frigate in 5 minutes and Mandela will have no navy anymore . |

agaugust: no, there is no Australian unit with that name you child You will continue to fight the war your own way and you will continue to lose - face it, we will be coming to save you just like our navy will be patrolling your waters. And the difference between your war and the ones you listed above - in those wars the insurgents didnt hold towns and cities, they didnt move around in massive formations, they didnt have APC's and such. The COIN war is over - the low intensity conventional war has begun 1 Like |

agaugust:[quote agaugust:author=agaugust post=29792455] Official numbers are official numbers. In Nigeria it is illegal for the NA to hide casualties .[/quote] Hello there Agaugust ![]() I haven't posted in this forum for about a year now have even forgotten my username I was using then. We were discussing capabilities wrt Otomat vs Execot and their launch platforms at the time, SAN frigates vs Nigerian frigate, but then I got ended up just going to the pub instead ![]() 1. Which NAF jets are those exactly you refer to? 2. No doubt all technical performance details for the PL-9 are classified as it is with any other weapons system. The "unofficially obtained" figures of 90% successful engagement rate sure does sound impressive, but under what testing conditions how were these attained? Relying on surface controls like canards, rollerons and ailerons for stability/maneuvering (no thrust vectoring capability from exhaust nozzle) they are seriously compromised in engagements with fast moving targets able to detect them, perform evasive manouvres and deploy counter measures. Seeing as the equivalent products produced on a relatively shoe string budget by indigenous SA companies (no need to worry about changing political climates as they have in house production capability) have demonstrated 100% success rate in internationally observed trials a claimed 90% success rate doesn't sound so good to be honest. 3. Illegal for the NA to hide causalities, so they have the same constitutional requirements of 95% of the worlds armies... do they have the same watch dogs in place to make sure they adhere to those rules? No not a chance, not even close, what would happen to a whistle blower in Nigeria that revealed something putting the authorities in a bad light and embarrassed the government? 4. Only 1 frigate working? Last time I checked 1 was in refit, 2 operational- ie either on patrol or ready for immediate deployment at full operational capability, the other ready to be deployed at full operational level on short notice if required. 5. I have to take my hat off and express genuine admiration and respect for Nigeria with how they handled the Biafra situation and despite America's best efforts to manipulate things to suit their agenda of expanding their empire (using many "humanitarian NGO's" yeah right, they were sneaky bastards) you guys did well there, well done. It wasn't portrayed in a popular light by the western propoganda/media at the time but it was the necessary evil required to achieve the greater good. So don't buy Chinese hardware(missiles, ships, whatever)! Why do you think SA turned down USA's offer of F-16s- way too many strings attached. 6. Not good form to criticize RSA for helping in CAR. At least they tried to help and actually did contribute something positive towards the well being of the local populace. Nigeria did nothing and they are right next door! |

patches689: Foolish old man, that is their nickname, Green Berets.... "Australian Commando berets are known as being "Sherwood Green" in colour. The corps badge on the beret is a black background and a gold combat dagger with the moto “Strike Swiftly" underneath the dagger.[4] The green beret is only awarded to a soldier upon becoming qualified as a Commando in either of the below Regiments. 1st Commando Regiment 2nd Commando Regiment.

Mandela's Navy ![]() ![]() Also WTF? Australian "Green Beret". If that's a nomenclature that can be applied to more than one branch of service/unit or large scale mustering that isn't a very "special" force. American seals and "green berets" sure are big and strong but considering probably more than 5% of their general recruits are able to qualify and be deemed competent as a seal speaks volumes. They really are not that special at all. 1 Like |
