Henry120: - no gripen mothballed - 22 000 hours of jet fuel purchased, 18000 used = surplus - Sub spent 7 years and hundreds of millions of rands being upgraded actually defeats your "proof" If we are broke I dont want to think what the Nigerian army is 1 Like |

Patchesagain:they went to Brazil for a refresher cause. The SANDF didn't have "a jungle" to train in, Lieutenant General Mgwebi a Chief of Joint Operations a qualified special force himself negotiated with local chiefs for the usage of Pt Saint Johns. As special forces of the Transkai defence force were trained there by the SADF. Soon a school will be opened there. SADC SF units hold yearly exercises which exposed them to different weathers and environments from Desert in Namibia, Cold and high altitudes in Lesotho etc |

mzilakazi:well,the world will have to come to an end then.because i dont see any african country willingly volunteering its troops to fight terrorists.moreover,what will the 7500 soldiers do that our 20 000 soldiers in borno havent already done in the past?,what ability does the 7500 soldiers possess that our 130 000 strong military does not surpass?,what skill or strategy will the 7500 soldiers utilize that our 35 000 soldiers in the north east havent utilized?,most african countries dont even have COIN training and experience{SA included}.if the AU is going to set up any fighting force,its still going to comprise of chadians,nigeriens,cameroonians and it will be nigerians that heads the mission,all these countries are already members of the MNJTF and are already currently fighting BH in the north east. 1 Like |

EVarn: What do they have that you dont? - mobility - skill - a lack of corruption - moral - motivation - basic equipment - functional equipment For example, look at what the AU has done in Somalia with a much smaller force against an enemy that held a much larger area and was not only well funded but well entrenched Your army is incompetent, poorly motivated, rife with corruption and lacks complete and utter tactical nuance. With regards to COIN, SANDF and many African countires (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Angola, elements of the DRC army, Chad) have either COIN experience or are well versed in COIN training. Furthermore, COIN is no longer the type of war you are fighting. You are now fighting LICW. Your inability to defeat BH in LICW shows (yet again) what a lame duck your military is. And as to your implication that it will be led by Nigerians... why the hell would anyone let a man that cannot even successfully lead his own troops lead theirs? Just sit back and wait, AU is coming to bail you out. 1 Like
