Is SA under insurgency you fool? South Africa fought insurgency long ago when you were not born and some of their tactics is still being used today including MRAPS. They deviled MRAP to deal with IEDs.
Another prove that SA army have no tactics for fighting terrorist.

Obsolete tactics, obsolete equipments with obsolete soldiers.

Your military personnel are sick and most of them are getting old. The young one only want to raape girl and they have no zeal to fight.

France does not seek help, it is only concern with how Nigeria is letting BH to scot free even to this day. It might be that Nigeria's strategies are malfunctional in defeating BH. France has citizens across Africa particularly on the vicinity of BH strongest host which is Nigeria. BH has in the past threatened to attack French nationals and it appears that they are worried since Nigeria's efforts in fighting BH have proved futile to this day. They want to find out what is it that Nigeria is doing wrong.

MRAPS have transformed the world today and came about when SA was facing insurgency. What equipment did Nigeria invented ever since they faced insurgency?

Eeben Barlow taught you the tactics of approaching insurgency and now you think you know it all.

Oerlikon, Skyshield radar , Starstreak, Thutlwa radar system , Umkhonto SAM ect ect ect are all part of GBADS , GBADS isn't a single unit, its a combination of many different Air defence systems. Some of the systems we already have, like the Oerlikon GDF 007, Starstreak, Thutlwa ect ect.

Thats why i said our GBADS isn't finished yet.

You still using another Wikipedia as source again....Desperate in defeat....that source goes into garbage with all you wrote there.

Less armour for amphibious vehicle? BTR-4, BTR-3, Cobra, VBL, Mbombe, Ratel, Badger, all have same level ballistic protection on their hulls you dummy !

British Marines have Viking amphibious armoured vehicles.

US Army has over 5,000 M113 amphibious armoured vehicles.

US Marines have over 1,000 AAVP-7A1 amphibious armored vehicles.

US Marines have over 400 LAV-25 amphibious IFVs

US Marines has just bought a new generation amphibious armoured vehicle to add thousands more to their amphibious current fleet...

Nigerian army has terrain operational superiority over SANDF

1. No those vehicals do not have the same STANAG ratings

2. We are talking about ARMY not MARINES - OBVIOUSLY Marines need amphibious vehicles.

Forget about water speed or gun turret, Nigeria has amphibious tank destroyer that fires anti tank shells. South Africa has ZERO amphibious armoured vehicles. We are better than you. Try go buy one first before analysing what you don't have

1. Lack of amphibious ability was not a problem in Angola (where we actually fought a conventional war)
1a. Our enemy had amphibious vehicles, and we still thrashed them
1b. Nigeria has never fought a conventional war and thus does not know the flaws inherent with amphib vehicles

South Africa had the option of buying an amphibious vehicle with the Badger - but we chose ARMOR over the ability to swim

BREAKING NEWS OOOOO

FRANCE BEGS NIGERIA TO HELP THEM FIGHT TERRORISM


Following recent terrorists’ attacks in Paris which killed over 130 persons, the French Director of Military Intelligence, General Christopher Gormert,
today paid an official visit to the Nigerian Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), seeking knowledge on how Nigerian security agencies are currently confronting the Boko Haram terrorist group.

According to Gen. Gormert , “In the area of geo- spatial intelligence, we will seriously rely on you to help us develop that capacity. We are in the process of setting up that department. It’s my first time in Abuja and it’s a good reason to visit you on Boko Haram and see how we can share
intelligence; that is the reason for my visit.” He stated further that, “I believe in building up capacity we must leverage on our capable partners like you to help us from the level which we were, to a higher level . “Like you know this phenomenon of global terrorism is catching all nations napping. It’s
something we did not prepare for including developing countries like Nigeria. We have to evolve new ways of tackling them and stamp
them out of existence”. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s CDI, Air Vice Marshal Monday Riku Morgan had expressed “sympathy with the entire community of France, and particularly the people of Paris, for the mischievous attack carried out by the terrorists on their city.” “ As a nation, we understand the feelings that you are going through right now, because we have
the same nuisance in our hands,”
he said. He recalled the visit of President Buhari to France early this year, which he said ‘’ brought about the serious synergy that both security organizations have today, between the French government and Nigeria in terms of intelligence sharing”. “I want to assure you that your visit is highly plausible. I recall that during a visit to Senegal
with the Chief of Defence Staff, we spoke on very serious bilateral issues on the need to encourage our Francophone brother nations to give us the neccesary support to defeat Boko Haram.
“We think that henceforth, such daily intelligence sharing will keep happening and this will effectively change the situation in the north
east,” AVM Morgan said.

Roland is an old cargo of 1980 and its shelve life has passed long ago. It might not be fully functional as in present. You were supposed to have upgraded long ago.

Post citation for Roland missile shelf life.

Spain, a NATO power is still using Roland SAM today, even France a world power is said to have Roland in service as there is no proof they retired them. NATO member Slovenia just acquired Roland missiles in year 2005 or so. Dare a Nigerian Roland missile and die young.

You have no land based Umkhonto in service.

Oerlikon is a mere cannon not missile.

Thutlwa is a mere radar not connected to any missile in service today.

Starstreak is a mere MANPAD missile with fvcking 1 km max ceiling.

SANDF air defence is one of the weakest in Africa today.

Uhmkonto is moments away from introduction

Oerlikon is CRAM and is the most advanced SSHORAD sustem in ss-Africa

Starstreak has a 5km ceiling and is the most advanced VSHORAD on the continent

All of this is linked together via data-lank and some of the most advanced air search and targetting radars on the continent - it is a SYSTEM

Meanwhile, Nigeria has obsolete Roland, obsolete AAA SHORAD and beyond obsolete VSHORAD which are 50 year old shoulder launchers... no mobile radar....no data link to combine them

You dont have a decernable air defence network - just a collection of obsolete equipment

1. Yes, but what is the maximum they can resist? Patria can resist up to 30mm on the frontal arc. They DO NOT have the same STANAG ratings - fact

2. No - Marines are not army, they are Marines (thats why they have a special name)

3. M113 is in reserve used by National Guard or in specialist units (EW/Chem and Bio Warfare) LAV is being phased out - they are abandoning amohibious capabilities in favour of armor

Whoooosh !!! Humiliated !!!

Your two videos show NOTHING BRIGADE size, all we see are about 20 men paratroopers grin grin

Nigeria had TWO brigade size NA+NN+NAF multiple-brigade size exercises in 11 years, TAKUTE 2004 and OLOGUN 2009, in 2014 we had LAFIYA DOLE final offensive exercise of SIX BRIGADES combined, and straight from that war game they went into REAL LIFE war that South Africa has NEVER fought in that magnitude in the last 70 years !

SADF/SANDF has NEVER deployed up to one full brigade to war in the last 70 years.

Nigeria does not need yearly brigade size war games when we already deploy about 3 to 6 brigades into real war consistently for the past 25 years all over Africa in real life war, not Rugby Football match war games of South African military.

SANDF, SAN, SAAF have NEVER graduated to fighting any real tri-service war in real life, your Rugby players army never goes into any competition against real opponents, they are always stuck with training by themselves alone in an indoor hall, arranging combat forces like oranges on a table for sale by market women !

Nigeria combines training with constant war experience in real life , we are superior to you home baby sitters military.

Tell me, how does your navy SAN, participate in joint army, navy, air force war games if you only train on brown sand dry lands with no amphibious war game, your frigates and submarines drive with Dunlop or Michelin tyres on dry land to join the army on the field? gringringrin

All your SANDF training is garbage to be dumped into the incinerator. Rugby Football tactics army grin
.




MRS deploys for these exsizes. They do river and lake patrols.


Training in indoors? Well yes we have the best simulators in africa we all so have one of the worlds largest training grounds with a shooting range messuerd in killometers. We all so train with countless other countries from the American, dutch, Namibian, English, Botswanan, DRC, Germany, hell there have been Nigerian sailors training here he did our NBCD training. Your argumants have become more and more ridicules you are the sole reason i am not active here. Reading your posts makes me feel stupid.
