SAAF has no aviation fuel to even fly pilots to meet standard qualifying hours. Soon your jets will be fueled with cooking oil.

Your Gripen jets have ZERO training missiles, Nigeria has training missiles on F-7 jets.

SAAF world war II pilots of 1940 is what you are using to claim champion in year 2015 ? D.ead p.ilots don't fly aircraft, SAAF has no living ace existing.

SAAF was defeated in Angolan war by Cuban teenagers flying MiG-23, SAAF was NEVER ably to fly air to air and challenge those boys, talk less of sh.ooting down any MiG-23 in combat.

SAAF has NEVER fired ANY single missile on Gripen jets, NEVER dropped any bomb on Hawk jets, SAAF combat pilots today 2015 have ZERO experience of missile combat air to air on their aircraft.

NAF flew 5,390 combat sorties of ground attack, ISTAR, and logistics in 1 year alone, SAAF has not flown ANY SINGLE combat sortie in 20 years.

The South African air force is TOTALLY D.EAD tongue tongue tongue tongue
.......................................................


Gripen pilots fire missiles from time to time when they test A-Darter missiles dummy. The only pilots who have never fired AAM are those of Nigerian Airforce, period. The SA mercenaries are even currently helping them to use PGMs.

Nigerian pilots cannot fly their own jets in battlefield they have contracted mercenaries to take over their air force.

The issue of SAAF jet fuel saga has been addressed from last of last year when the treasury allocated a special budget to SANDF to address the issue.

Man it is either you have a problem with your hearing or understanding. ZUMA HAS NEVER IN ANY OCCASSION SANG "KILL THE BOER". The article says ZUMA's ANC sings kill the Boer, not Zuma. They are still also very incorrect to say that. The song was sang by JULIUS MALEMA long after it was sang by his fellow home boy PETER MOKABA.

ZUMA sang "Umshini Wam" roughly translated as "my machine". The song does not say anything about killing the whites or Boer. Your first link is deceiving and incorrect. We used to sing those songs and know the lyrics well. Zuma's song does not say kill the Boer. period.

Recently,the Nigerian Armed Forces have embarked on a rigorous rearmament programme; new highly sophisticated weapon platforms have been introduced into the nigerian armoury{many of which are yet to be publicly revealed}.
The use of these sophisticated weapons of war have then heralded the continous defeat and eventual extermination of the violent islamic organisation,Boko Haram.
hundreds of Tanks,APCs,IFVs,MRAPs,AFVs,coupled with squadrons of drones{both armed and unarmed},fighter jets,attack and transport helicopters,surveillance helicopters,and OPCVs have been ordered from russia,china,ukraine,belarus,poland,italy,pakistan,isreal,czech,and south africa.
many weapons have arrived,and a huge amount are on the way.
therefore,i wouldnt say that Nigeria has a poor military.

Egypt isnt the most powerful arab country,infact,judging by the series of socio-economic and political instability plaguing the country,i would venture to conclude that egypt has a declining military due mostly to abrupt change in leadership,massive corruption in military sector,poor maintainance of military weapons,ideo-religious uncertainties,and sluggish weapon procurement policy.
Also,overdependence on its alliance with the world most formidable military super power- The US,has led to a steep decline in the military's hardware procurement outreach,unwittingly shutting out countries who's views diverge from that of its biggest ally.

Even the US procures weapons from other less powerful countries.
moreover,most of the defense companies in SA are directly owned by western countries who use south africa as a springing board to propel their defense enterprises into the african continent.
i see no weakness in the Nigerian DHQ ordering for military logistics from a few foreign defense contractors operating in SA.

south Africa doesn't even have a military.

What southafrica has is trying to rebuild a military after the failure of the sandf merger.

If southafrica is to be Nigeria, you will be fighting a civil war by now.

The fact remains: Nigeria can only use its air force in her back yard, or against rebels. Your Air force can't deploy to fight in a contested air space.

After 5,390 combat sorties by the indomitable Nigerian Air Force and 30,000 combat troops/armour/artillery rapid speed shock operation by the lightning offensive master Nigerian Army....

Egypt is calling on Nigeria to help them fight ISIS in Libya

The most powerful African and Arab nation on earth is asking Nigeria for military help

Egypt does not even know South Africa exists with their forgotten military !

[/size]

"Egyptian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Ashrat Salama, has called on Nigeria and the Africa Union (AU) to collaborate against the terrorist group, Islamic State and ensure the establishment of a multi-national force against it.

This, he said, is necessary to ensure that the terrorist group does not spread on the continent.

Speaking against the backdrop of air strikes recently carried out on IS targets in Libya by the Egyptian Air Force, Salama told journalists in Abuja monday that contrary to the propaganda by IS, no civilian was killed in the offensive.

Egypt carried out the offensive on IS training schools and ammunition storage in Libya in retaliation for the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by the group.

Salama particularly noted that it was necessary for Nigeria to work with Egypt to combat the terrorist group because both nations are not far from each other."

Birds of the same feather flock together....Arab giant, Black giant, each dominates the two African regions with an iron fist ![/size]

Saudi Arabia is actually the most powerful Arab country.

And South Africa is actually the most powerful country in Africa.

It is actually embarrassing that you're now using artillery, armour etc against a group insurgents who at one point said "we who started with machetes........."

Your army is ineffective.

She has been trying to rebuild after the fall of apartheid by incorporating Zulu and Bantu fighters into the army. The majority of which are illiterates

The frustrating fact is this. Southafrica is INTENTIONALLY, PURPOSELY, WITH ALL SERIOUS EFFORT TRYING TO BE THE GREATEAT MILITARY IN AFRICA.

No other African country has that ambition military wise but yet you are a military failure.WHAT A SHAME.

Your little neighbour Angola has surpassed you.

Egypt are your betters as are Ethiopia and Algeria.

Nigeria will make you quiver in terror. In an open war. your illiterate, half educated, HIV soldiers will be out numbered 5 to 1.

Your soldiers cannot even fire effectively the weapons you will purchase, you don't even have fuel to sustain any military campaign effectively.

Your little cash will be divided into logistics, maintenance, anti retroviral drugs and fuel.

Are you stup1d? we only spend 1% of our GDP on our military budget,while the rest of Africa spend an average of close to 4% of their GDP on Defence, if we had military ambitions and spend 4% of GDP on defence, that will mean we have a budget of $20 BILLION dollers.

Bought 24 gripen jets with only 6 qualified pilots more than half of those jets are grounded.
