patches689: We build sattelites why would we need to strap D-30's to trucks? The white mostly Afrikanner industry is ahead of Nigeria due to hundreds of years of unhindered support from the Brits/french/israelis and europeans. 1 Like |

patches689: 1. You have 10 half-french attack Helicopters, nothing is been seriously considered. Your project biro was seriously considered.......... 23 years later, no project biro. 2. You have 9 Gripen pilots for 26 planes after 16 years, Shame!!!! 3. 23 years and counting....... i'll be keeping numbers. 4. Nigeria bought 40 of some of the world's most advanced, vastly operated attack Helicopters. That's how we roll mixed race pig. 5. You bought 26 Fighter planes, and can only raise 9 pilots for your fleet. Bravo!! 6. You only have 10 half-french obsolete helicopters not even the SAAF wants, in service. 7. We grew an Navy that includes over 300 crafts, 2 stealth OPV's, and long endurance cutters and Helicopters. That's how to grow a Navy which already includes a Frigate, 4 Corvettes and 6 missile crafts. 8. We procured over 150 tanks, IFV's, over 300 MRAPS, 10 CH-3A's as a basic stop grap measure...... Army fleet recapitalization exercise would be mammoth in size. 9. You only have 5 patria IFV's in service. The SANDF is a poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly skilled force. The Nigerian Army is on a whole nother level. 2 Likes |

patches689: South-Africa is the most un-equal country on earth. With an impoverished black population and a minority wealthy white population. That's nothing to be proud of. Nigeria is the world 21st largest economy and on course to be Africa's trillion dollar and only super-power. 2 Likes |

Henry120: 1. And yet, in reality, Denel and the SANDF are discussing an upgrade to existing platforms and are engaging partners in the long term of objective of restarting production. This is not opinion. This is fact 1a. Project Biro tenders will be released after June 30th. This is not opinion. This is fact 2. Realistic number is 14 Gripen pilots - for a platform that is not fully operational yet. 3. Project Biro has been shelved for the majority of those years and was only re-opened recently when the need for OPV's arose. This is not opinion. This is fact. 4. Hind is advanced? How? 5. 14 Pilots currently, more and more each year. 6. SAAF purchased or upgraded over 90 helicopters under the Arms deal. This is not opinion. This is fact. 7. Nigerian navy has no operational missile armed warships. Your biggest operational vessels are over 50 years old. You dont have a navy - you have a coast guard. Again, this is not opinion. This is fact 8. You orderd 56 tanks and 198 MRAPS. This is not opinion - this is fact 9. 236 Patria IFV's ordered and to be built in South Africa with South African components and design. This is not opinion. This is fact 9a. The average SANDF soldier spends twice as long in training, has access to more advanced training equipment and has three times the ammount of money spent on him than the average Nigerian soldier. This is not opinion. This is fact. Your army is a mismatched collection of cold war relics that had to rely on mercenaries to beat boko haram Your airforce is a mismatched collection of cold war relics - the majority of which is un-airworthy Your navy is not a navy but a coast guard Your problem, not mine. |

Henry120: How does this have anything to do with innovation? South Africa has 3x the wealth of Nigeria, actual force projection and a far more advanced economy. You call yourself a Super Power yet you are unable to quell instability in your own country. Nigeria is a joke. 2 Likes |

MikeCZAR: Sudan does not build anything electronically advanced, Nigeria is building satellites, we build robots, we build one of the best drones in Africa. Nigerian navy has the biggest fleet in Africa after Egypt, and the only navy to ever build part of a modern stealth warship in Africa. Nigerian navy has missile frigate and anti-submarine helicopters in reserve, not active because there is no need or threat. South African navy has woken up to see that submarines are useless against the current threats existing in Africa, you now struggle to buy OPV when you are already broke. Uganda has a better air force than South Africa, they have air to surface/anti-radar missiles, SAAF has NOTHING in the class of Uganda . |

patches689: Cuban MiG-23 shot down South African Mirage F1, and SAAF failed to down a single MiG-23. Cuba won the air war, South Africa lost and resorted to air sorties that does NOT involve air to air combat.....cowards . |

patches689: South-Africa is a basket case. Your mentally handicapped citizens are only concerned about killing somalis and zimbabweans. A country where 5% of the population runs 90% of the economy. On the other hand, Nigeria runs a federation, with each state having an independent budget, able to generate it's own wealth, seperate from the Federal government. The Nigerian economy is the largest in Africa, the most sophisticated, the most diversified economy in Africa. Nigerian companies dominate the African continent. Nigeria is on path to become Africa's only super-power. We have an insurgency we have dealth considerably with. Turkey, Europe's 6th largest economy has been fighting an insurgency for 50 years and counting, India has the world's 4th largest military, but they've been fighting an insurgency for over 20 years, Spain only got reprieve after a political settlement with ETA, the Brits only came to a political settlement after 27years of fighting. The U.S, the world's only super-power has been engaged in insurgencies for over 20 years. Nigeria with Africa's largest economy is the only politically and economically relevant country on the African continent. 3 Likes |

Well honestly speaking, when it comes to Radar and Air defense I give it to the Russians, But Western Jets have almost always proven to be Superior when it comes to Actual Combat, the F-15 is probably the greatest Fighter jet to ever exist when you consider its incredible Combat Record no Russian Fighter jet comes close to it. Plus the First Jet Fighter Ace was an American. Who shot down Russian Jets. |

agaugust:Sudan builds MANPADS! Your navy is a coast guard and has no fighting capabilities. Even if they were in reserve it would mean your crews receive no training. So air to surface to anti-radiation which were brought to your attention by the ZA, means Uganda's air force is better? |
