Did Nigeria buy rifle from South Africa? We bought SAMIL transport trucks and MRAP including medical ambulances.

You have no wide knowledge of military stuff beyond your AK-47 rifle and some ancient low tech Niger delta militancy war.

The AK-47 rifle remains the most reliable assault rifle in the world today. Even Algeria the oil rich nation with the biggest defence budget in Africa is still using AK-47 rifle locally manufactured and also using the Chinese version of AK-47.

Nigeria is now fighting war with guided missile armed drones and we are the first in Africa and the only nation in Africa to do that, yet you still still say Nigeria is poorly armed. No country in Africa can match Nigeria's ISTAR capability NOT even Egypt or South Africa, they are 66 years behind us in combat ISTAR equipment technology.

How are you not understanding this?

SANDF does light maintenance on equipment, and some heavy maintenance on small number of equipment, heavy maintenance on large numbers of equipment is outsourced to private companies - this is cheaper than keeping large numbers of specialist personnel on the SANDF pay-roll

The deal with the Cubans is an even cheaper option as they can perform the same repairs as private companies for less and at the same time assist with the training

Read what I posted again, SANDF is not doing anything different, it is simply choosing the cheaper alternative

lemme get this straight.. when you say light maintenance, i hope it's about just changing oil and adding fuel.

because the picture of the cuban mechanic i see working on your truck doesn't look like heavy maintenance and your fat minister also exposed the lack of skilled engineers in SANDF.

"Dlamini said that private South African companies to whom work was outsourced were reluctant to pass on their skills to the SANDF and maintained military vehicles poorly. The Cubans, on the other hand, are experts at keeping equipment running despite sanctions and Cuba continues to enjoy good military relations with South Africa."

fact of the matter is that your army is short of skilled personel and broke.

that's why the cubans had to fly their army engineers(not private contractors) to maintain your vehicles for you and save you from paying private contractors to milk the remaining change your army has left.

in peace time for that matter... damn shame

No, the war in veitnam ended for american soldiers in 1973 and peaked at half a million men (telling lies again?)

The gulf war was 16 years later

The average american infantrman had no war experience

With regards to the other things, their superiority over iraq is the same as ours over you. I also like how you accept that superior equipment and technology is more important than experience

I like to see that you are now admitting experience can be "carries over"

Nope, you are the standard liar incurable and irredeemable....you need church deliverance with 10 pastors combined.

Vientam war ended as I said in mid 1970s.....that's 1975 http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/vietnam/index-1969.html

Gulf war was 15 years after Vietnam.

The average age of American combat soldier in Vietnam was 19 years. 19 + 15 = age 34 year old troops in Gulf war.

Vietnam was as I said is a million man war....on both sides combines....USA, South Vietnam allies, North Vietnam enemies, Vietcong etc.

Show me how South Africa has the same military level of America+Britain+France+Canada+Italy+Saudi Arabia+Egypt combined superiority over Nigeria, you mean South Africa's military is equal to the combination of all those world powers ?

Anyway, you are a serial liar beyond redemption !

Again, the SANDF is simply employing more efficient fiscal policy with regards to vehical maintenance.

“Through this agreement the SANDF will be able to develop its own internal capacity and save on costs while bringing up its vehicle serviceability.”
http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/cuban-team-to-assist-sandf-1.1825681#.VQl7v46Ud8E

Dont base your argument on pictures, base it on facts. They are here to do complete overhauls and re-activate vehicals that have been in storage for decades. The SANDF only does light maintenance

130 vehicles have been earmarked for refurbishment but the SANDF is looking at overhauling 250 trucks. Three vehicles have been completely refurbished so far with others in the works. The first vehicle, a Samil 20, had 250 hours of work done on it involving the engine, differentials, electrical system, pneumatic system, bodywork etc.
http://www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Africa_8/Cuban%20Technicians%20Bringing%20SA%20Army%20Trucks%20Back%20to%20Life.shtml

The SANDF and old SADF have always outsourced high-skill/high-labor maintenance to private entities as a cost saving measure. The Cuban army is willing to do it cheaper and help improve the quality of the manics we have. It is also a solid political move that improves the bonds between the two military's and is a source of desperately needed revenue for teh

This is how an efficient military runs

Three key Denel Dynamics products poised to enter production phase



No fewer than three of the development projects being carried out by local missile, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite company Denel Dynamics (part of the State-owned Denel group) are coming to an end and being transformed into industrialisation and production programmes for local and foreign customers. They are the A-Darter missile, the Seeker 400 UAV and the Umbani precision guided bomb kit. “We are really proud of our achievements in these programmes,” highlights company CEO Tsepo Monaheng. “Now we are in a position to release critical engineers and other resources to work on new development programmes.”


[b]The A-Darter is an infrared homing air-to-air missile, conceived by Denel Dynamics but jointly developed with Brazil. Development of the missile has now reached completion, and it is expected that the first contract for industrialisation and production of the weapon will be signed later this month or next month. There will be two such contracts, one for each of the two partner countries. The second such contract will be signed later this year. There will be production lines in both countries. “We will start to establish the production line here in April,” he states. “We’ll also be assisting our Brazilian partners to establish a production line there.” Recently, at his farewell function, the outgoing Brazilian Air Force attaché to South Africa highly praised the A-Darter’s performance and Denel Dynamics’s cooperation with his country.


Already, another country is seriously interested in acquiring the A-Darter. If a contract is signed, the missiles would be assembled on the South African production line. “The potential for more customers is now considerable, because we now have a product, not just a programme,” points out Denel Dynamics deputy CEO Denise Wilson. “We’ll be ramping up to produce five A-Darters a month, on the South African production line. We’ll source most components from local industry and so create local jobs.”[/b]

The third and final development guided test series was recently completed. This proved the performance of the missile. “It has exceeded expectations!” she reports. “Now we’re finishing the qualification of the missile. The final qualification flight tests are planned for later this year. “The missile will fly whatever mission is specified by the client. We now have the latest state-of-the-art processors on the missile.”

The Seeker 400 is actually more advanced than the A-Darter, because it is already in production for its launch customer, an overseas client. “The Seeker 400 has just been through a range of performance evaluation tests, including range and altitude and it performed very well against specifications,” notes Wilson.


“We have one customer for the Seeker 400 now, but we’re talking to four other potential customers,” points out Monaheng. “One of these witnessed the recent successful demonstration of the Seeker 400.” In addition to the Seeker 400, a large tactical UAV (with the potential to be armed), the company also offers the Seeker 200 tactical UAV and the Hungwe small UAV. Once, the South African Air Force was a leader in UAV operations, but it has not operated any UAVs for many years now. “We’re hoping that UAVs are going to be re-introduced into the air force later this year,” he says.

As these projects become production programmes, new development projects are taking their place. A major new project is the Marlin. This will be a beyond-visual-range radar homing missile, with more than one role. “The Marlin is in the technology demonstration phase. It is being funded by the Department of Defence. “We have the funding for the technology demonstration,” says Wilson. “It is intended for air-to-air, ground-to-air and naval surface-to-air roles. Its rocket motor has already been tested. “Certain preliminary tests of the airframe will take place during this year.” Although intended to fulfill the requirements of the South African National Defence Force, it has already attracted overseas interest.

“It’s a really interesting technology programme,” she cites. “It’s giving the opportunity for young engineers to grow with the programme. “It’s delivering a new generation of engineers. “Ideally, you want people to be with this programme for the next 15 to 20 years,” adds Monaheng.




This article is dedicated to HENRY120 smiley smiley. Remember what I told you just a few days ago, I wonder what your excuse will be when these products start going onto the production line to feed the SANDF.

[size=13pt]All is just another Super Story TV drama by Wale Adenuga Productions.....until SANDF buys those weapons and inducts them into service in your military arsenal, you have NOTHING.

Mokopa missile is an example, produced but rejected by SANDF, refused to buy, not purchased, not in service....you have NOTHING but photos and a long script for super story part II....showing next week on Channel 51 UHF cheesycheesycheesy
