Patchesagain: 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 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. 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." www.africanoutlookonline.com/index.php/component/content/article?id=2604:nigeria-launches-spy-satellites-into-orbit 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 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 . 3 Likes 1 Share |

@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.

agaugust: That is untrue. Rhinos were transfered to Botswana because there was some evidence that poaching was facilitated by people within. So, that was a tactical move to root out the moles out of their holes. However, we are still saying SA does not need any military help from its neighbours to fight insurgency. |

agaugust: [size=18] NIGERIA HAS ZERO MILITARY SATELLITE[/size] KONDOR E is by far more advanced that all satellites that Nigeria ever had. It uses the latest technology of not only penetrating the cloud but also the water surfaces, the bush and earth. It can detect land mines and bunkers as well through its SAR capabilities. Nigeria does not have SAR (Spy) capable satellite. Your satellite is only capable to do earth observations only, that's why civilians can access it as well to do their academic research. SANDF kondor E is on par with that of RUSSIAN military and only two so far were built. SA always go for the best, while Nigeria would always go after the droppings left behind by China. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_aperture_radar http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondor_(satellite) http://www.network54.com/Forum/211833/thread/1418994925/last-1418994925/Russia+launches+Kondor-E+SAR+satellite+for+S.African+DoD+--+their+first+SAR+sat 3 Likes |

agaugust: So your argument is: 1. We cant afford it Uhh... your two sat's cost £35 million Our one cost £55 million. Seems it is you who cannot afford it Project took 7 years because the Kondor-E was in development - the Russians only put the first one into space in 2013 2. Resolution Your 1 satelite is only capable of a resolution of 22m and the other is capable of a resolution of 2,5m in perfect conditions. Ours is capable of 2m resolution regardless of conditions. They are not capable of providing meaningfull military grade images. 3. Nigeria masters of African satelites. No - we launched our own 100% South African satelite in 1999. And another in 2013. You arent even close to our level 4. Nigerian satelites are military grade Hahahaha - they are environmental monitering grade. As is stated in their mission plan. 5. Kondor-E technical specifications https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/k/kondor-e 6. The capabilities of your satelite have been compared to ours - yours are significantly inferior 7. It is a military satelite. Observation is a synonym for spying you dofus. 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.

agaugust: Augustus. We are not going to survey every border war veteran for you. Men were eligable for conscription at 17, thus, logically, there were 17 year olds deployed. Stop fixating on the age - he could be 17, 18 , 19 , 20... the point is still simple. A young man who fought in the late 80's is still capable of fighting and leading today. |
