Anyway the US still has the best military in the world.

The U.S has no moral justification to label anyone as corrupt.

With $700 billion a year, you better be better than the best.

[size=16pt]NNS Aradu refit 2015 to be done in Nigeria[/size]

"He said the decision was borne out of the desire to equip the navy for local building of ships, just as he noted that the firm which will be domiciled at the Naval Dockyard, will take on the rehabilitation of Nigeria’s flagship, NNS ARADU, six strides boats, and build some interceptor boats, to ensure the emplacement of adequate security within the nation’s waters."

Soon, the deadly Otomat missile, Aspide BVR missile, and ASW torpedoes will be back ruling the sea of sub-saharan Africa

Patchesagain:


Short range otomats - never been test fired, past their use-by date
Obsolete SAM's - never been test fired, past their use-by date
Unknown torpedos - doubt that they even exist
Obsolete combat suite - pathetic capabilities
Obsolete sensors - ancient hardware
Crew with ZERO training and ZERO experience
A navy with no training in full spectrum maritime warfare.


It stands no chance against the pride of Black Africa SAS Amatola, SAS Isandlwana, SAS Mendi, SAS Spioenkop, SAS Manthatisi, SAS Charlotte Maxeke, SAS Queen Modjadji

Only a fool would claim that a 35 year old vessel rules the sea of sub-Saharan africa

Only a fool thinks a Valour frigate with very short range SAM with 8km ceiling, scrap yard repainted 1977 metal gun that reduced ship stealth, old year 1990s generation Exocets, radars, sensors, and equipment is something to boast about. The only new thing on a Valour frigate is the body/hull and the ship's name

lionel4power:


With Aradu, two hamilton class frigate, two stealth OPV plus six missile boats. Yeah we rule sub saharan Africa

lionel4power:
in some countries Aradu is considered a destroyer

Don't drag this forum back to old posts and comments.

NNS Aradu was re-fit in year 2001 with modern radars, sonar, sensors, all weapon systems cleaned out, guns fired, missile systems all in good order. The radar/sensor/sonar are all new and comparable to those on the Valour frigate has year 1999 weapons/equipment and a 1977 gun brought in from scrap yard and repainted.

That was posted here with sources last year, both harpoon databases and the Spanish website when you said it was a false claim and you edited Wikipedia that time on Roland missile shooting down bombs.

Show us proof that the Aradu missiles have expired and yet not removed to avoid hazard. Show us source of their expiry date. You private opinion is NOT a source.

All NNS Aradu weapons are superior to Valour frigate.

= 127mm gun has 15 km range, Valour gun is only 8 km

= Otomat MK 1 anti-ship does 2 missiles fired together and cooperate to increase range to 80 km, Otomat MK 2 range is 120 km, Valour Exocet is only 70 km

= Aspide BVR anti-aircraft missile is 75 km range, Valour is 12 km

= NNS Aradu torpedoes are Whitehead A244S torpedoes

No wonder fear and panic grips every South African when they hear of NNS Aradu refit and return to sea !

One Aradu will sink the entire South African navy in one day !

Nobody will waste time going back to repeat old posts and sources that have been proved here in 2014 . PROVED : http://archive.is/qUExe

CASE CLOSED !

Terrible maintenance record.

They last refit their obsolete grandma frigate in 2001?

Zero force projection at sea.

First country in sub-saharan Africa to refit a submarine, laying the foundation for others.

NNS Aradu


4 corvettes
NNS Dorina NNS Eyimiri (participated in exercises with the chinese fleet last year). NNS otobo NNS Erinomi
Missile crafts
NNS Ayam NNS Siri NNS Ekpe NNS Zaria NNS yola NNS Eku
All represents fleet that can adequate force projection when required.

Henry120:


Aradu's last refit was in 2003.

Nope, first Navy in sub-saharan africa to "attack" the sea bed with it's submarine.

lionel4power:
why are you consistently s.tupid? I dont think you understand the meaning of force protection. In 2005 NNS ARADU was the only African vessel to hit UK for the travalgar festival. In 2013 NNS THUNDER was the only African vessel to go to Australia for another festival. What has south african navy ever achieved with her, where have they ever sailed to. You know nothing and you embarrass south africa.

lionel4power:
and Nigerian NNS OBUMA was the first African vessel to sail from Europe to Africa under a black captain. WHAT HAS SOUTH AFRICA EVER DONE WORTH MENTIONING?
