"show me how SANDF bought their own in the unknown future date year 2081 to put you 66 years ahead of Nigeria grin grin"

WHAT ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Augustine Going full re.tard again as usual .

He cant comprehend that the SANDF operates systems not individual assets (like Nigeria)

Thales Ground search radars and IR camera's

Ratel based fire adjustment systems

Short and long range air search radar

All integrated into LinkZA providing an all inclusive up to the second layout of the battle space right at the commanders finger-tips.

Its one system, one organism.

" ZSU 23-4 Shilka, is capable of acquiring, tracking and engaging low-flying aircraft, as well as mobile ground targets while either in place or on the move. Employed in pairs 200 meters apart, 400 meters behind battalion leading elements, it is commonly used to surpress ATGM launch sites."

http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/zsu-23-4.htm

Nigeria has 30 Shilkas, they do ground radar targeting AND attack to destroy with 4 barrel 23 mm cannon.

Nigerian Shilka = Radar + Firepower 4 barrel Cannon

Show me anything like that in the whole of SANDF arsenal, Nigerian army has 30 units of them !
.[/size]

If you could read you would see that is says it track and engage them - no mention of how.

It says nothing about detecting ground targets with radar.

I ask again, show us where it says the Shilka can detect ground targets with its Radar

No we have seen video footage of them moving them around on the back of trucks like you would a harvest of cassava

You saw video of Nigerian missiles moved around ? Where ?

You saw ordinary explosive shells, and that was in war zone, removed from storage in Nigerian army Ordnance Corps armoury, we have a whole Ordnance corp trained to international standards to store weapons ordnance and ammo

No.

You moved the shells around on the back of a truck - piled high

With the propellant along side them.

Since we have actually fought a modern conventional war, we can tell you that they are.


Really ? SADF and Cuba were shooting at each other from 100 km distance apart, T-55, Olifant, Ratels, artillery guns, all were 100 km away from each other ? Fool grin grin

Biafra war was Africa's biggest conventional war, Biafra was a country recognized by France and South Africa. It has a fully established nation with a central bank, currency, university, court of law, army, navy , air force, many officers trained in British military academy and were university graduates.

Nigeria fought Africa's biggest conventional war of half a million troops on both sides

Empty response

When they say its integrated - its integrated.

You obviously no longer have an argument

You have ZERO proof of 100% data-link integration on ALL SANDF equipment. It costs money....SANDF is broke.

Biafra war involved less than 200 000 men, Biafra and Nigeria did not operate modern equipment. The wars in Angola and Congo were both twice the size.

And yes, in high mobility war, jump off points for operations can be 100's of kilometers apart.

Nope, you just started adding 25 years today, yesterday you said 66 years all through ! Liar ! Fraud !

No data link

No mobile air search radar

I gave you 25 years for ground search because I am mature enough to conduct a rational argument. I wish I could say the same for you

Thus, since you have none, our advantage is now 1000 years!! [/size]


SIPRI says you bought ALL of your mobile radars in ancient times 1980s grin grin

You are a fraud, show us how you are 66 years or 25 years ahead grin grin

SIPRI says Nigeria and South Africa are both loaded with 1980s generation 30 year old radars !

Nigerian army alone was officially 250,000 troops in Biafra war, not counting air force and navy.

100,000 troops died on both sides.

We had about 30 MiG-17 jets and Delfin jets in Biafra war and artillery was modern. NNS Obuma was a modern frigate then
