No:

- you have 2 observation satelights, NigeriaSat-1 died in 2012
- your other 2 satellites are for environmental observation and disaster reflief with low resolution.
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24025-how-nigeria-has-been-using-its-satellites.html#.VQtnmI6UeSo

By contrast, our satellite is a dedicated spy sattelight, with synthetic aperture radar that has a resolution of 2-3 meters and with its unique dish set-up it has a field of veiw of 500km on either side of it - meaning it does not have to be constantly re-positioned.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24025-how-nigeria-has-been-using-its-satellites.html#.VQtnmI6UeSo


You do not have a satellite in this class and you never will - you cannot afford it!


1. Mumu, South Africa is only able to afford one single lone satellite, Nigeria afforded to pay for the three satellites we have.

Your cash flow problem has no quick remedy, you struggled for about 7 years to pay Russia full price for the one lone satellite you have. Nigeria paid for 3 satellites without sweating, Southies cannot afford to buy 3 cheesycheesy

2. Did you read your own comment? Are you iinsane? You said Nigerian satellites have low resolution poor quality images, but your own source quoted to back up your claim says you are a big liar :

" It was succeeded by NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X, which both launched in 2011 carrying similar instruments for high resolution images including infrared cameras. These satellites were also made at SST, with Nigerian engineers helping to build the latter. In addition to a continued environmental mission, the satellites' high-resolution images of the country will help Nigeria review electoral boundaries ahead of its general elections in 2015."

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn24025-how-nigeria-has-been-using-its-satellites.html#.VQtnmI6UeSo

So you just wrecked your own argument by your own hands. cheesycheesy

Those 2 Nigerian observation satellites has captured high quality images of an American airport zoomed to show American aircraft parked there, we can spy on all nations if we wish to.

3. You goofed badly with your error upon errors, both Nigerian satellites are military grade capability......and one of them is built proudly by Nigerian engineers to British standards. Your own satellite is built 100% by Russians and is a degraded inferior monkey model.

"The two satellites - the NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X - were launched on a Russian Dnepr rocket from Yasny, which is located in southern Russia. The space crafts were built at SSTL in Guildford, United Kingdom, but under the Nigerian National Space Research Development Agency (NASRDA). 26 Nigerian engineers worked at the SSTL, assembling NigeriaSat-X, which weighs around 100 kilograms (220 pounds). According to the government, the two satellites can be used for forestry, mapping, disaster monitoring, military applications and security , among other functions. "I congratulate our nation for this new chapter in our transformational efforts as we strive for self-reliance," President Goodluck Jonathan said. "Let me congratulate the resourceful Nigerians who made this history possible." According to Jonathan, NigeriaSat-X was designed and built by Nigerian engineers and scientists , while NigeriaSat-2 was built in collaboration with Surrey Satellite Technology Limited in Britain."

Nigeria is MASTER over all Africa in satellite technology and capability as well as experience in satellite applications for modern warfare.


4. Citation needed to prove the technical specifications you claim for your Kondor satellite.

5. Your Kondor satellite is a MONKEY MODEL DOWNGRADED AND DEGRADED INFERIOR version made by Russia for export market only. Remember how many times you called Nigeria's Russian made equipment monkey models, now I welcome you to the club.

Meanwhile, one of Nigeria's satellites is British made and superior to South Africa's monkey product imported from Russia.

I am shoooooting y.ou with your own rifle today cheesycheesy

6. Russian sources posted here repeatedly say your satellite is ordinary surveillance satellite NOT spy satellite and SIPRI database confirms that, so it's a civilian grade copy of what Russian ministry of defense uses as civil servants NOT military.

7. Nigeria's 3rd satellite is a surveillance satellite controlled by NAF and NN , it is an advanced cloud penetrating radar satellite with day and night vision. It is a MILITARY GRADE SATELLITE used by Nigerian Navy to track fast moving pirate boats in deep ocean, it's radar is all weather and powerful enough to detect fast moving small objects that have small RCS. This new 2014 satellite has been posted here dozens of times repeatedly with sources.

8. Three satellites for Nigeria, one only for South Africa, you are still many years behind the giant of Africa, so your struggle continues....Aluta continua cheesycheesy

Why Nigeria is turning to South African mercenaries.

http://theconversation.com/why-nigeria-is-turning-to-south-african-mercenaries-to-help-fight-boko-haram-38948


former members of the South African Air Force have been operating gunships mostly based out of Maiduguri, and have flown “a huge number of sorties, including nocturnal operations, with great success”. The mercenaries appear to have adopted a rather low profile, attacking usually at night and pulling out in the morning for the Nigerian government to claim credit. This suggests a deliberate desire to maintain a low profile and shows that the contractors are working closely with the Nigerian armed forces throughout this process.

So far, all evidence shown here by you Southies is ONLY ONE SINGLE 18 YEAR OLD SADF man named David who fought in Angola war.

Conscripts include non-combatants and those deployed for only homeland security without firing one single bullet 1,000 km away from home in Angolan war zone.

1 soldier out if 4,000 soldiers fighting in war zone Angola.

You have all FAILED to prove large numbers of 17 year old SADF boys fighting war inside Angola, 1 over 4,000 = 0.00025 % = total failure without option of resit or carry over in the exam, you have to drop out of school and go learn mechanic work

@Agaugust says that the Nigerian army is one of the most obsolete on the continent and that NAF is only the 11th strongest airforce in Africa:
Augustine says:
March 19, 2015 at 12:50 am

Terrorists have struck Tunisia, one of the most stable Arab nations. Speculations point to ISIS from Libya.
NATO coalition in Iraq confesses slow progress means air campaign alone will not defeat ISIS, wary of ground troops deployment.
Nigeria still has serious shortage of weapons/equipment, and wide gaping capability gaps in combat. We have enough weapons to defeat Boko Haram today based on recent importations, but not enough to be a military power that can work with Egypt effectively. I won’t go into this topic again until after this war is over soon, hopefully after elections.
I still insist that Nigeria is buying weapons in trickles of 5 units, 10 units usual tradition…..and NAF is far behind and outside the top 10 as Africa’s number 11th ranked nation in air combat power…..NA remains one of the obsolete armies in terms of equipment in Africa, no single laser guided ATGM to boast of, reliable SAM is almost non-existent.
Let me keep quiet lest I offend my ogas again o !

Are you blind? I said DENEL collapsed some years ago and was rescued by your mumu government that wrecked it in the first place. 50 million mumu South Africans CANNOT run a smooth white man created defense industry.

You are a village cow milk seller who does not know what is happening inside his own country.

DENEL crashed financially around 2006, because fools like you South Africans on Nairaland thought your SANDF can go to DENEL laboratory and collect free weapons anytime without paying cash for it, in a capitalist economy you ran a defense industry as if it's your grand papa's village poultry where you just wake up one hungry morning and go pick up free chicken eggs to fry for breakfast.


"Denel lost R384-million last year on revenues of R4,4-billion. In the months leading up to his removal Moche had been warning the government that the company would not be able to continue trading after the end of June if its cash crunch was not addressed".

DENEL COLLAPSED AND WAS RESCUED BY GOVERNMENT FREE CASH HANDOUT. Nation of fools, ANC has destroyed every good thing that Nigeria forced your white Boer masters to hand over to you dullards cheesycheesy

• To support food supply security, agricultural and geology applications

• To support mapping and security applications

• To support development of the national GIS infrastructure

• To provide continuity and compatibility with the existing NigeriaSat-1 system.

- uses digital camera's (pushbroom imagers)

NigeriaSat-X

(Same role and objectives as the above platform)

Except:

- maximum resolution of only 22 meters
- Senors are cameras (SLIM6 Surrey Linear Imager Multispectral 6 channels - but 3 spectral bands)
https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/n/nigeriasat-x


Neither of the above is military grade - they are designed for environmental and developmental objectives.

But the proof is in the pudding!! Consult the images below

Picture 1: Image taken from NigeriaSat-2 at a resolution of 2,5m (New York)
Picture 2: Image taken from NigeriaSat-X, it can see through clouds - but not much of what is under them grin
Picture 3: Image taken from a Synthetic Apeture radar system on an satelite that is older than the Kondor-E (at the same resolution ours is capable of, 2 meters)

Hi, I stumbled across this site by chance and I must say there are some interesting views here.

I would love to express my view here especially with regards to air and naval power if its possible.

I'm from Angola so I would focus more on a Southern African(SADC).

Thanks.



welcome chief.

Let me start by saying the South-Africans have been talking trash about your military and country.

So, you should start by responding to their allegations.

What trash?

O, you mean a historically accurate narrative?

Lol, ok.

Anyhow - at least the Angolans have the balls to stand up and go toe to toe in conventional warfare and employ modern equipment effectivly.

You clowns could barely face the freaking RUF

Even in your deepest, darkest hallucinations, you don't believe what you've just typed.

Nigeria, along with Egypt and Algeria Operate Africa's most modern array of equipment.
