We have 46 air search radar vehicles, 30 Shilka, 16 Roland, they search air....fool !

You have ONLY 5 grin grin

Your web link source does NOT say you have 10 radar vehicles. Liar ! Fraud !

@Andrewza already admitted 5 units some months ago.

Show us proof you bought another new 5 units few months ago grin grin

.[/size]

Web link proves that the Thales Ground search radar forms part of a ground based ISTAR capability SANDF has and that Nigeria does not.Are you too st.upid to even keep up with the argument?

Your 50 air search radars are short range and they are nodes - they only see what is in their area - they cannot transmit information to the force commander they cannot co-ordinate defences.

He cannot use them as early warning of air attacks meaning that you lose valuable minutes scrambling your F-7's - SANDF Gripen will be over your airbases before you can defend yourself, JDAMS and glide bombs will rain down on you

SANDF has superior range mobile radar systems and they are intergrated meaning that all info is sent to central command and control centers in real time, while the complete air-picture allows the CRAM and Starstreak systems launch co-ordinated defence of instillations as well as earlyer scrambling of Gripen and Hawks to intercept. When GBADS is complete the Uhmkonto will slot into that to form the most advanced air defence network in Africa

So, even despite the fact that you have changed the argument from ground search to air search - you still lose!

SIPRI does not record domestic upgrades to the System which were performed under Project Rossma while we developed our own mobile radar the Kameelperd under Project Bioskoop - all completed in the mid 2000's onwards.
http://itweb.co.za/mobilesite/defenceweb/home/item_id-6479/

Also, well done on confirming we have 12 of that model.

We are talking about ground search radars

You are talking about air search radars - which is weird since you have none in this category

So, all our mobile air-search radar was upgraded or built in the 2000's and our ground search radar is from 2010 onwards.

You have ground search purchased in 1980, Shilka purchased in 1980 and Roland purchased in 1980

[size=20pt]So, in terms of mobile air-search radar we are 66 years ahead of you (since you have none), in terms of mobile ground-search radar we are exactly 35 years ahead of you. Final figures compared by SIPRI[/size]

Found this interesting. Mobile (trailer mounted) satellite communication system with 1 Signal Regiment. There is a 2m (approximately) satellite dish just above this. Operator said wherever his commanders need satellite comms, they can deploy the system. Said the system has been in service for about 4 years. Took a chance, asked him which satellites it communicates with....of course he said thats classified. System comes with secure/encrypted comms equipment in another trailer next to it.

I just did that one hour ago, and you replied to show your defeat, so let's ridicule Patches again !


"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

Shilka acquires, tracks, engage, and kill ground targets even on the move....PROVED grin grin

Go jump into river Zambezi and end your Easter there grin grin

Where does it say it does so with Radar?

You know the shilka has optical sights right?

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

Your Migs were destroyed on the ground by Biafran civilian Cessna's with rockets strapped to them

Nope. Didnt see Badger. But Defenceweb stated it would be there. Took all these pics in about 10 minutes, so missed a bit. Was actually there to watch the air force capability display....which was quite nice and loud. Low flying Rooivalk, Oryx dropping/extracting troops , Augusta, and low high speed passes by Gripen. Infantry also put on a nice show in the small space available.

No data link

No mobile air search radar

= 66 years

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


You were mature enough to notice imminent defeat of your argument, and adjust your 66 years down to 25 years to avoid humiliation grin

We have 46 mobile air search radars with 20 km range and all are armed to destroy air or ground target detected by the radars.

SANDF has NOTHING like that, your radars have no weapons for attack.

Full Data-link is NOT a weapon, and is NOT compulsory, even SANDF does NOT have 100% data-link, you are just starting with SAAF jets, etc, your army does NOT have data-link on all equipment, no money.

Data-link exists on many Nigerian weapons individually, it's no magic wand to have datalink everywhere every platform, there are other communication equipment, ATR-42 has ELINT and superior data-link to Direct NA battles. Videos have shown that in Boko war.

66 years ? SANDF has 1980s radars according to SIPRI.....you are ahead of Lesotho NOT Nigeria, we both parade 1980s radar

Your 14 Thales air search radars are short ranged, toys on human backpack, no armour, no weapons to attack the enemy they detect. They are NOT part of SNADF datalink, they are tiny infantry radars, all 14 CANNOT kill a pigeon in the air after detecting it.

46 Nigerian Shilka and Rolands will radar detect the enemy on ground and air and kill the enemy IMMEDIATELY !

SANDF is 66 years behind Nigeria, we have ISTAR + WEAPONS integrated
