Nigerian navy has ZERO combat ability

Come back when you replace your coast guard with a navy

South African navy has rusted warrior class crafts, rusted supply ship, and rusted donated German minesweepers....rust fleet
.

Warrior Class was built in the 1980's - newer than Aradu

Drakensberg - newer than Aradu

German Minesweeps were never used by the Navy

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

You shot yourself in your foot id.iot

Now, go back to bragging about your 60 year old rust-fleet, its hilarious

Reminder: Nigeria commissioned 4 Ships in one day
Reminder: Average age of the 4 ships - 44 years old

agaugust:


Nigerian navy does not rush anything, the plans for 2010 to 2018 had been drafted and submitted years ago, even defecneweb published it
.

Nigerian military is renowned for rush purchases

Why else would you buy two 60 year old ships?
Obsolete F-7s that you are allready replacing?
Obsolete T-72's
etc etc etc

Just look at your miss matched hodg podge army and navy inventory

jln115:

NNS Aradu vs SAS Mendi
Which looks more obsolete?

NNS Aradu guns and missiles have longer range, plus Aradu has torpedoes, your Mendi has empty tubes

BOKO HARAM TRULY HAS DESTROYED NIGERIA'S MILITARY EQUIPMENT

but you believe in project biro? A classic example of fairy tale.

Yes mate because its happening!!

NIGERIA HAS NO NAVY, ONLY SMALL FAST BOATS FOR BROWN WATER.

EXPLANATION NEEDED

PLEASE CAN SOMEBODY CONFIRM IF THEY ARE F7's!!

INSURGENTS STANDING AROUND AND FILMING (by my count) 5-7 BURNING NAF FIGHTERS

[size=13pt]
Very old video of 2014, Boko attack on NAF base Maiduguri, burnt old abandoned scrap MiG-21 jets of 1977. Bokos retreated after NAF riflemen returned fire.

LOL....you don't even know what an F-7 looks like, yet you claim you know it's combat capabilities....FOOL !

Thiza:
RECENT VIDEO OF BOKO HARAM

Those are all old photos of Boko Haram. They have no heavy equipment or amour anymore, we demolished everything.

You love old newspaper/internet reports, joker

agaugust:


1. Nope, not in one day, you commissioned 4 frigates and 3 subs over a period of about 5 years, but Nigeria commissioned 4 ships in one day.

2. You have crew to fully man only one frigate and one submarine, the rest are short of qualified sailors to man all stations on board ship

3. Warrior class missiles have been deleted years ago, it's now a freaking gunboat, NNS Centenary will use it for target practice.

4. Every year is a Project Biro reality for Nigeria, this year 2015 alone, another stealth OPV, MPV, many IPVs, tug boats etc coming
.

1. all were commissioned in a span of 2 years!
2.Uhm!! actually we do, as proved here many times.
3.Who says we cant put missiles back onto our Warrior class ?
4. We commissioned a tug about 2 weeks ago, with one being built as we speak! we also acquired 5 landing craft, besides after you receive your OPV this year, what are you going to receive in the next 10 years....Nothing mate!

Patchesagain:


It becomes one

It has not become one after 24 years on project Biro

agaugust:

More B.S as usual!! no citations just B.S!

FINALLY THE US VOW TO HELP A LIMPING NIGERIAN MILITARY FROM THE HUNGRY CLAWS OF BOKO HARAM.

Patchesagain:


Warrior Class cant use its gun? Stop expressing your ignorance

The 76mm is stabilized and automated - it can still be used

Distress calls from Angola? Stop being childish!

There were no distress calls, and what do you want us to do? Sail from Simons Town into YOUR waters to catch pirates? Are you asking for SAN to come and secure your waters as well?

We have an actual Navy - with warships

It is your navy that is dead, replaced by a Coast Guard composed of rusty 60 year old vessels!

Nope, your gunboat cannot fire gun on target when the boat's hull is swinging up and down doing what Helmod Heitman calls SUMBARINE DIVE

Your gun will be shooting into the water/seabed killing fish and crabs

If South African frigates and submarines had caught the pirates off the Angolan coast in your own backyard region of SADC, they would not have escaped as far as ECOWAS.....it's the thief you fail to catch that escapes to another man's waters....SAN is OPV dead
.

agaugust:


It has not become one for 24 years on project Biro

Lunatic without a head will claim project BIRO is 24 years even with obvious information presented to him.

Biro only started to become a project after 2008 defence review.

Biro was made government project in last year.

So, what will your most trusted Angola be doing when pirates invade their space?

F147 in Simon's Town a few days ago



Then yesterday F145 arrives in Simon's Town from Durban after its major refit.



Since we can only operate one at a time according to some here, i guess it was a ghost/wizard crew who took part in sea acceptance trials in Durban. The navy then flew F147's crew via SAA to the Indian Ocean to take over from the invisible crew, and finished the rest of the journey to Simon's Town. Aha...exactly how it happened.

You commissioned the 7 vessels over a period of about 5 years, stop lying. Why should I educate you about your own country?

The first submarine, SAS Manthatisi (S101), was built by Howaldtswerke at Kiel. It was launched in June 2004 and commissioned in November 2005. The second and third submarines were built by Thyssen Nordseewerke in Emden. The SAS Charlotte Maxeke (S102) was launched in May 2005 and commissioned in March 2007. The third submarine, SAS Queen Modjadji (S103), was launched in 2006 and handed over in February 2008.

The rest of your comment is garbage since you don't even know you own navy.

Operation of a ship is not same as sailing it around at home.

Do you have all BATTLE STATIONS ABOARD FULLY MANNED ? Nope.

So you CANNOT go to war with more than one ship one sub at a time. Defenceweb published the report not me. Go sulk all you want

You are a "researcher". Tell us how you conduct sea acceptance trials without a full crew. The whole point is to test all systems. How do you test all systems without every sailor manning his positions? So which one didnt have a full crew F145 or F147?

Are you fvcking retaarded? First Sub was commissioned in November 2005 last Sub was commissioned in Feb 2008, and the First Valour class was commissioned in Feb 2006 and last Valour was commissioned in March 2007.

How many years are between November 2005 and Feb 2008 ? 5 according to you?

Oh agaugust why do you speak of a deceased in that way. Didn't they teach you manners at your home. Let granny Arandu rest in peace. She has completed her journey.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Even when granny Arandu was alive, she could never defend for herself. All that she could do was to fire without any defensive weapons. The valour class can destroy all granny Arandu's missiles on the move until she is left with zero missiles.
