We actually only have a handful of Olifant MK1s left, they are mostly used for training and display purposes, most of them are with the Army Museum, the rest are MK1Bs and MK2s.

90 % of SANDF Olifant tanks today are the old cargo plain metal ancient RHA armour, only about 10 % of your Olifants got modern armour upgrade. Today, Nigeria will defeat South Africa in a tank vs tank battle.

One Boko Haram RPG with HEAT warhead will tear 200 units of SANDF Olifant tanks into pieces

Eeben Barlow Speaks Out (Pt. 2): Development of a Nigerian Strike Force

The chairman of STTEP, Eeben Barlow, reports, “Our relationship with the Nigerian government and the Nigerian Armed Forces is very good, and as fellow Africans, they recognize the value we have added thus far at the strategic, operational and tactical levels.


An advanced party of South African military veterans working for STTEP landed in Nigeria by early January of 2015. Instead of social-media activism, they held a selection program for the elite Nigerian military unit they were to train while the main body of STTEP began to arrive. “It is a mobile strike force with its own organic air support, intelligence, communications, logistics, and other relevant combat support elements,” said Barlow. He declined to name the unit they were training, but an open source investigation strongly suggests this unit is the 72 Strike Force.


By the time the main body of STTEP contractors arrived, the selection process for the Nigerian strike force was complete and training was able to commence immediately. “We built it from scratch,” Barlow explained, “and were able to, in a very short space of time, get it combat ready. The results this force achieved, along with the support of the Nigerian Army are indeed remarkable.

The South Africans trained their Nigerian counterparts in the tactics, techniques, and procedures that they had practiced and refined on the battlefield since South Africa’s conflicts in the 1980s, including Barlow’s concept of relentless pursuit (which will be explored in a future article).

Meanwhile, Boko Haram was experiencing an increase in operational tempo and achieving successes in their area of operations.

With this in mind, STTEP’s mission quickly transitioned from training a rescue unit to training a rapidly deploying mobile strike force, and mentoring those they trained in the field. “By late February, the strike force conducted its first highly successful operational deployment,” Barlow said.

Thank you for giving us the long awaited proof that NO SOUTH AFRICAN MERCENARY fought any battle for Nigeria....all they did was PMC of about 5 men trained 120 Nigerian troops on COIN mobility....added to the Nigerian NDA training we already gave those troops in Kaduna, the backbone military training of those 72 strike force is purely a Nigerian military academy foundation.

Thanks for proving to the world that NO SINGLE bullet was fired in war by a South African mercenary in Nigeria during Boko Haram war.

BTWN....a PMC is a private military company when all they do is training, if they fight on battlefield they will become mercenary, unfortunately, all they did in Nigeria was extra training a handful of Nigerian army trained men.

You cannot build a special ops force from scratch with fresh recruit troops, those men were already Nigerian army soldiers for years before now....trained by Nigeria.

Adding 5 cubes of sugar to my tea that already had 10 cubes before, does no mean you made my tea sweet for me.

So much noise for about 120 men of 72 Strike force....Nigerian army has about 150,000 troops....that PMC trained force is very very tiny

Thanks for proving us right....I like y.our suicide comment

Yet our junk is much more advanced than your T72s.

About 203 SANDF Olifant tanks, ONLY 26 have modern armour....the others have ancient steel armour.

in Sambisa forest

The Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris
Olukolade, has confirmed that the troops of the
Nigerian Army have rescued 200 girls and 93
women during a raid on Sambisa Forest in Borno
State.
However, Olukolade could not however confirm
whether the rescued girls were the Chibok girls,
who were kidnapped from the Government
Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State in April
last year or not.
The Defence spokesman told our correspondent
on the telephone that the tweets on the twitter
handle of the Nigeria military supplied the true
information about the military operation in
Sambisa.
The Defence authorities had stated in three tweets
that the soldiers rescued the girls and the women
during an invasion of the Boko Haram stronghold.
It was further stated that the freed girls and
women were being screened and profiled.
The Defence authorities stated specifically that the
military had not been able to confirm whether the
girls were part of the Chibok girls, who were
abducted by Boko Haram on April 14, 2014.
It was further stated that the troops also
destroyed three terrorists camps including
Tokumbere, which is said to be highly notorious
(for crimes).
He said, “Troops this afternoon rescued 200 girls
and 93 women from Sambisa. We cannot confirm
if the Chibok girls are in the roup.
“The troops captured and destroyed three
terrorists camps including the notorious
Tokumbere Camp in the Sambisa Forest
operation.
“The freed persons are now bein screened and
profiled. We will bring you details later.”

more than 150 MK1b tanks have been produced, they look identical to the MK2 and have the exact same armour, the only difference is their FCS's

Henry120:


That's the thing. 58 from a single source, we also received additional units from belarus and the Ukraine.

The number of 58 is the total number of units from Belarus and Ukraine.

Shekau 1 was shot and severely wounded in Gwoza, he was taken to cameroun for treatment in a hospital, we're it is believed he died of his wound.

Shekau 1, a pasted a video of Shekau 1 on his death bed many times in this forum.

Face it, your SOF/SF have no notable operations in over 10 years of war.

This is South-Africa's main battle tank. A world war 2 Relic.

A museum piece, nothing to brag about.


Churchill was the Prime-minister when your Tank was built.

Thats not a frontline example of the Olifant, that is a vehical from a reserve formation.

Olifant Mk2 is a match for your T-72

Your T-72 has a bigger gun, but that is all.

It only further proves the SANDF has the oldest infantry in the world.

Fact I have always quoted.

Thanks for proving me right. Gramps!

Look at their ranks.

Those are all senior NCO's and Officers.

Not infantry.

Thanks for proving that you are incapable of reading rank on a soldiers uniform.

So their exploit is that they have been at war for 10 years and the only thing they have done in this 10 year war is kill the same man 3 times?

i know you are bored,patchesagain. so i am going to leave you with an interesting read from a fellow safa who wrote this facts and truth in his own blog in 2015. suprisingly every single thing i have said over the past year was comfirmed by him.
enjoy:




you have it in black and white.

The South African military requires "skilled" people to join the military. They are also relaxing the quota system to encourage more Whites to join.

Of course they can't put "skilled" and "White" in the same sentence. That would be admitting that they need Whites for their intelligence and they can't have that. No, they just need skilled people and if they happen to be White then they're in with a chance.

It seems that the military doesn't have enough people with functioning brains to operate all the equipment bought during the Arms Scam Deal. The equipment is now lying around rotting away because the IQ67's don't know how to operate any of it. 

Or it's broken because the IQ67's tried operating it...... like the 3 submarines.

The air force has grounded fighter jets because they don't have enough pilots.

SA National Defence Union national secretary Pikkie Greeff said the military found itself in a position because "when they started awarding exit packages they let go too many of the racial groupings that they now want to increase".

In other words, they let go the capable, battle-hardened White military personnel to replace them with that marvellous and highly respected army, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK). 

Yes sirree. Here was the second best military in the world and it was handed over to a bunch of liberation fighters who couldn't fight their way out of a clear plastic bag - even with directions. The ANC rushed to replace all the generals and other White officers with their equivalent officers from MK. (cough-BS-cough) 

The result has been oh, so predictable. The military is now a joke. Another crumbling state-run entity, which are now reduced to begging White boys to come back and save them.

Yeah, what a dream. Join the military and have IQ67 officers ruling over you. Being outnumbered and sleeping in the barracks with the other IQ67's. Yeah, sounds like paradise.

No, let the SA military recruit some of the millions of IQ67's sitting in their shacks watching the rubbish rot. Let them go die for their country for a change. Let them experience what the White boys and men had to endure, protecting the country as they did. 

They have done their time and now It's time for the Blacks to go do the same.

Off you go.

You are posting a racist opinion peice with the intention of doing what?

FYI - submarine batteries were damaged by a civilian contractor, not a member of SAN

"Its true because I say so"

Henry120:


Your MBT is a world war 2 junk. That's a fact.

Only the hull is from WW2 - and even that has new composit armor on it.

New engine, new turret, new communications equiment, new battlefeld-management systems, new suspension, new armor, new FCS, new sighting systems etc etc etc

Fact is, in some areas it is more advanced than your brand new T-72's.
