jln115:Healthcare? Your citizens are the most HIV infected in the world, your health care is a 0. But I no you must be talking about few private hospitals own by Anglo -Dutch. Education? What nonsense? The vast majority of your population are pap guzzlers too busy feeling the victim of anglo-Dutch oppression and thinking of stealing their companies and running their firms to the ground to get any proper education. Nigerians on the other hands are Nobel literary winners being the most educated people in the America. Infrastructure? I could give you that. But we all know all the cities the anglo-Dutch built for you are turning into slums. Fact. Entertainment? You are a hopless slowpoke running out of point. Nigeria remains the entertainment headquarters of Africa. Channel O broadcast us FREE OF CHARGE. DSTV? how does that change the fact that you're no. 2 in Africa? Your petty mindedness is alarming. Beaches Wildlife Hotels , Stupid criteria not worth the efforts of disputing. You really are silly. Technology? Not anymore, all your companies are foreign and the few left are all Anglo Dutch, son. You have nothing. Sports? What are you taking about. Football and track and field we remain your superiors and those are the sports Africa care about. I hope you have read the report by ISS ? We remain your superior and that report happened to mirror my prediction last year. South Africa is an ignorant, misguided nation with no sense of international play, tact, and power. A country ran by blacks who went to school too old, too late and who seem confused picking up where the anglo-Dutch left off. 2 Likes |

Nigerian Navy Begins Proficiency Drills March 24, 2015 - Uncategorized - Tagged: Africa, Africa Defence, African Defense, African Military, Nigeria The Nigerian Navy on Monday [March 23] began series of proficiency drills on waterways and creeks as part of its preparation for the March 28 and April 11 elections. Addressing newsmen during the exercise at Onne waterways in Rivers , the Commander of NNS Pathfinder, Port Harcourt, Commodore Godwin Ochai, said the exercise was aimed at showcasing the readiness of the navy for the electoral exercise. He said the operation conformed with the navy’s mandate of providing maritime security for election officials, materials and the people to ensure the exercise was conducted peacefully in coastal communities. “This operation is a confidence building exercise that seeks to instill confidence in sea fearers and the electorate so as to be able to exercise their democratic rights in the elections. “Additionally, these drills are a demonstration of our readiness to assist the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with security provision on our waterways and creeks during the elections that is about to commence,” he said. “Our gun boats and personnel are strategically positioned on different parts of the waterways and creeks for rapid response when called upon,” he said. He warned criminals and other undesirable elements on the waterways to stay away as the navy would fully exercise control on the waterways. Ochai, who spoke through his Executive Officer, Capt. Sam Bura, expressed confidence that the navy, in collaboration with other security agencies, would ensure that the electorate in coastal areas voted for candidates of their choice. He said the exercise and the 24-hour patrol of the coastal areas would continue before, during and after the elections. As reported by Leadership |

[b]South Africa Air Force Museum Receives Cessna 150 from Nigeria March 11, 2015 - Uncategorized - Tagged: Africa, Africa Defence, African Defense, African Military, Nigeria, South Africa On Saturday, 07 March 2015, the Chief of the South African Air Force (CAF), Lt Gen F.Z. Msimang received a Cessna 150 (replica) aircraft from the Nigerian Civil Training Centre. The handing-over ceremony was held at the South African Air Force (SAAF) Museum. The ceremony served as a milestone in the history of the SAAF. It is an opportunity to reflect on the training of Non-Statutory Force (NSF) pilots’ pre-1994 and to recover the success story over this period and time. The aircraft produced the current and former leaders in the SAAF. In the late 1970s, Maj Gen G. Malinga (Deputy Chief of Air Force), Maj Gen M.M. Mangethe (retired), Maj Gen L. Ngema (retired) and more, were trained and qualified as pilots on this aircraft. Maj Gen H.T. Paine (retired) officially handed over the aircraft’s log book to the CAF that will soon form part of the SAAF Museum inventory under the command of Lt Col M.F. O’Connor. The former graduates are expected to accompany the CAF to this special occasion.[/b] 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Nigerian Navy Tipped to Lead Maritime Fusion Center February 18, 2015 - Uncategorized - Tagged: Africa, Africa Defence, African Defense, African Military, Nigeria The Nigerian Navy is being tipped to be the lead agency in the Federal Government’s quest to automate and link up all government agencies in the maritime sector. The project will involve the satellite coverage of the entire Nigeria’s maritime space, linking all agencies, including Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), NAFDAC and indeed all concessionaires of the ports. Senior special assistant to the President on maritime services, Olugbenga Leke Oyewole disclosed in an exclusive interview with Daily Independent that Government is establishing a maritime fusion center, when all agencies will operate under a single electronic platform, saying, “The Nigerian Navy will lead the other agencies.” Nigerian Navy is currently the chairman at the inter agency maritime operations coordinating committee. “So, they are also going to lead the fusion center,” he said. But the only snag, hitherto, was the fact that all the agencies operating in the ports are under different supervising ministry. “The integration of the maritime agencies is proceeding very well. We are looking at having a fusion center where we are going to have the procedures and processes of all the agencies fused on one encrypted platform,” he said. According to him, all the agencies concerned have all met and they keyed into the vision, with the belief that it is something that is needed by the country. This lead agency will coordinate activities in the sector, just like the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) was created to coordinate security among all security agencies.

South African Presdeint and SANDF Den Private Use of Military Helicopters March 30, 2015 - Uncategorized - Tagged: Africa, Africa Defence, African Defense, African Military, South Africa The Presidency and the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) have dismissed reports that alleged family members of President Jacob Zuma made use of a military helicopter for personal travel between Durban and Nkandla. On Sunday, the City Press had reported that the backup Oryx helicopter was grounded due to lack of funds. The Presidency labelled this report as baseless and mischievous, while the SANDF said it was spurious allegations. “At no point has the SA Air Force helicopter been used to transport family members. Furthermore, at no point was such ever raised by any of the crew members of the Air Force with the Command of the Air Force,” SANDF said in a separate statement. Presidency spokesperson Mac Maharaj explained that the tasking for President Zuma’s travel is made by the Presidency and it is stipulated clearly that the aircraft or helicopter is being booked for his use. He said family members such as a spouse or a child may travel if accompanying the principal. “At no stage has the Presidency ever made bookings for family members travelling alone. The South African Air Force has also informed the Presidency that no such misuse of the helicopters has ever occurred,” Maharaj said. He said the City Press reporter was informed by both the Presidency and the Department of Defence that there is no truth in the rumour but the newspaper continued to publish. “The Presidency is alarmed by the blatant reporting of such an untruth, the purpose of which could only be to contribute to the stereotyping of the President and his family.” 2 Likes |

Cuban Military in South Africa Under Technical Agreement March 3, 2015 - Uncategorized - Tagged: Africa, Africa Defence, African Defense, African Military, South Africa The technical team from the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces has arrived in South Africa to help the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to service and maintain its military vehicles and build internal technical capacity. The technicians have already started working in various centres of the SANDF across the country. The arrival of the team follows a technical agreement that was signed between the two armed forces under an existing Military to Military Agreement, the Department of Defence said on Monday. “This agreement is set to create an internal pool of technical skills in the SANDF, which will enable the Defence Force to properly service and maintain its vehicles. Since the arrival of the Cuban mechanics, there has been a markedly increased manner in the servicing of vehicles,” spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said. SANDF has had numerous problems in the maintenance of vehicles at a very high cost with little benefit, according to Dlamini. Through this agreement, Dlamini said the SANDF will be able to develop its own internal capacity and save on costs while bringing up its vehicle serviceability. “More importantly, the SANDF will be able to build internal capacity to ensure the serviceability of its vehicles in operational areas where it has been facing serious challenges, which had a negative impact on the reimbursement from the United Nations.” |

Patchesagain: Why did you say Gripen radar detects F-7 from 120 km away, why not 50 km ? In war do you always have airbases and frontlines 120 km away from each other like from one city to three cities away ? What is an FOB, what is a forward airstrip or air base ? ....go back to the beginning of the argument, the missiles have traveled and the pilots have traveled to close gap from distance and the Gripen is now 5 km away from missiles explosion blast radius.....or does your brain work in reverse gear ? . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by AugustineAgain: 11:41am On Apr 06, 2015 |
Patchesagain: You cannot turn a high speed jet aircraft away from a frontal incoming divergent wave explosion in 4 seconds. Gripen is travelling at supersonic high speed 2,000 km/h and just 4 seconds away from an incoming explosion that is throwing high speed debris, fire and sharp projectiles in divergent wave (SPREADING OUTWARD INCREASING AREA COVERAGE IN A 360 DEGREE SPHERICAL DIRECTION.....four dimensional explosion on all four cardinal points....see my photo below). The Gripen is not a spirit that turns in half a second, not even one second, pilots needs several seconds to pull throttle stick, jet needs time to respond, airframe ailerons and flaps need time to respond, jet fighters CANNOT make high g pulls or sharp turns at supersonic high speed, the jet will stall.....means lose control by losing engine power, or the wings can break off and tear off the aircraft. Gripen has died o ! I just showed you why close range air combat is called a zone of death, and the 20 km missile range is a NO ESCAPE ZONE for pilots. Also, I have shown you why no pilot in this world has ever stopped a missile with his own missile, air to air missiles, NO PILOT NO WAR HAS EVER ACHIEVED THAT MISSION IMPOSSIBLE !

AugustineAgain:"You cannot turn a high speed jet aircraft away from a frontal incoming divergent wave explosion in 4 seconds." 4 seconds is fcking slow!!! The average human has a reaction time of about 260 milliseconds, thus even a very very average person like yourself will be able to avoid the blast with ease in 4 seconds! |

lezz: Courtosy of an official USMC study on the border war: In 1978 the SADF conducted two coordinated raids against SWAPO in Angola.Operation Reindeer consisted of an airborne assault on Cassinga, a training base morethan 250 kilometers from the border. It resulted in six hundred dead and 340 woundedinsurgents. Simultaneously, a mechanized task force comprised of fifty-four armoredvehicles conducted a successful raid against a headquarters (HQ) and log base atChetequera. Reindeer produced excellent intelligence on PLAN doctrine, organization,and strategy. It also demonstrated the vulnerability of light airborne forces; when theCassinga task force withdrew via helicopter, it was under heavy pressure from FAPLAarmor units. 19 Operation Sceptic in 1980, was a three-week raid on SWAPO HQ by four mechanized battalion combat groups. The groups destroyed, over a period of four days, ahuge base area more than two thousand square kilometers in size. The goal of theoperation was to force the insurgents to move further away from the border area andcomplicate their access to the Ovambo population in Namibia. Sceptic killed 380 guerrillas at the cost of seventeen South Africans; it also produced hundreds of tons of captured ammunition, weapons, and equipment. 20 Protea in 1981, was another three-week operation conducted by six SADF combatgroups. During this raid the SADF fought a combined FAPLA/PLAN force in a series of set-piece battles. The South African combat groups mauled two FAPLA brigades,destroyed three hundred tons of ammunition, and captured eight T-34 tanks, three PT-76amphibious tanks, three BRDMs, one BM-21, twenty-four 76mm guns, sixteen AU-23-2antiaircraft guns, fourteen M55 20mm AAA guns, and two hundred trucks. FAPLA'sdefeat forced it and SWAPO to withdraw far from the southern edge of Angola. Daisy a follow-on operation derived from Protea's intelligence windfall, saw SADFfighting columns roam four hundred kilometers into Angola to destroy a SWAPO HQ atBambi and a base at Cherequera. It took four days to get to the targets; once on site themechanized columns spent twelve days razing the base. Due to the damage induced by Protea and Daisy SWAPO terrorist incidents in Namibia declined twenty-eight percentduring the following year. Operation Askari in 1983-84, was designed to neutralize the growing threat and disrupt the logistic support necessary for the annual infiltration of insurgents into Namibia. Four SADF battalion-size mechanized task forces combed southern Angola over a five week span. On 3January 1984, the SADF fought 11 Brigade (FAPLA) and for the first time, two Cubanbattalions, in a hard fought engagement. The South Africans killed 324 enemy and captured eleven T-54 tanks and much other combat equipment for the loss of twenty-one men. http://www.scribd.com/doc/52703286/South-African-Defense-Forces-SADF-USMC-Analysis-of-Operations-in-Angolan-War#scribd 1 Like |

saengine: Mister Liar ! You said yesterday that the explosion is 5.6 km away from the Gripen, so when you say my reply, you magically changed it to two times farther away at 11 km.....Fear of defeat...leads to wild imaginations ![]() ![]() Fact is, the supersonic speed Gripen is speeding at 2,000 km/h into the blast 5.6 km distance ahead, and the blast is also speeding debris and projectiles towards the Gripen in head on collision.....hear your own voice below... saengine: Next, you say 11.8 kg explosive of both missiles ? Well, a military researcher is always one step ahead of you ![]() PL-9C missile high explosive warhead alone is 11.89 kg....say 12 kg. Add A-Darter warhead, say another 12 kg. Total high explosive = 24 kg = 3 times the explosive power of anti-tank landmine that blows up solid steel armoured main battle tanks ! Plus the fuel inside both missiles, say 10 gallons of flammable fuel ! You forgot to add fuel explosion to warhead explosion ! So, power of the blast is = 3 anti-tank land mines and 10 gallons of petrol all mixed together against an aluminium/glass body aircraft ! You cannot turn a high speed jet aircraft away from a frontal incoming divergent wave explosion in 4 seconds.
