Unsusfully? For 20 years they successfully held Northern Ireland and at no point did the IRA ever capture ground. The IRA where forced to fight like they did because every time it became a battle between them and the British Army they lost. This is not the case in Nigeria where BH as stormed military bases captured towns and drove around in stolen APCs. Britain did far bettet than Nigeria ever did.

So how you can compare the 2 i dont know.

IRA is trapped on a tiny land mass surrounded by Atlantic ocean and have no means of importing antiaircraft cannon in hundreds like Boko Haram did through Chad, Niger Republiqué and Cameroon....or else if they had that firepower, they will overrun British army bases.

You Saffers are borderline retarrds!

-It doesn't matter if a country if fighting at home or abroad when that said country has the single largest force projection in the history of mankind.

- It also doesn't matter if the said country has the largest resources in the history of mankind to deal with the insurgency

- It also doesn't matter if the said country has the single largest intelligence infrastructure in the history of mankind.

- It simply doesn't matter if the said country unilaterally invades other countries and unilaterally suspends the constitution of the country's it invades.


It simply doesn't matter you retarrd.


Making arrests and bombing Syria doesn't end an insurgency, hence the French are in Nigeria begging our Intelligence units to help them build capacity.

1. Ours are mounted on Samils and can go anywhere were the rest of our Vehicles can go.

2. Anything that big you also wont be crossing in your Cobra, with a max speed of 8km on water.

3. Uhm.... They used amphibious assault ships and small amphibious crafts to lunch troops and equipment from the SEE, we also have amphibious assault craft in service with our navy, of course nothing substantial like a Mistral Class, but hey!! neither does Nigeria.

The SANDF armoured bridge launchers are just as big and heavy as those of Nigeria, there is a standard or else a tank cannot drive over the launched bridge, anything less than standard to carry 60 ton tanks will collapse. You should pay me for all these free education.

The allies use amphibious Sherman battle tanks to swim the sea and break through German concrete bunker and pill boxes that were killing allied infantry like mosquitoes.

No army drives everywhere with bridge launchers hoping to meet a river. You buy amphibious armoured vehicle's like Nigeria.

Dude are the enemy going to pause fighting while your APCs and Sagaie sail along at the mighty speed of 7km/h?? As i was trying to say before, any water crossing that is small enough for your Amphibious vehicles to get a cross in a few minutes, we can build a bridge in a few minutes.

Both ways you'll either need Air-support, or artillery bombardment, Just like our boats are sitting ducks to enemy fire so are your Vehicles sailing along at 8km/h if your lucky!!
but we are at an advantage if war comes.. we won't be bugged down easily. we can cross lake size water obstacle..

Dude being strong and being heavy are two different things, we also have different Bridge Layers, we have those that are mounted on a Olifant chassis and then when there is a substantial water crossing, we use our SAMIL Pontoon Bridge layers in conjunction with SAMILs carrying V12 Pontoon Boats.

Secondly from what were those Shermans lunched?? You guessed it(or Not), from Amphibious assault ships that Nigeria does not have.

Dude as i said before, its going to take ages to sail across a massive body of water like that of lake chad when your only moving at 7km/h, And how by driving around a water obstacle have you lost initiative?

1. You dont have amphibious tank destroyers,The Sagaie is not a tank destroyer, unless the enemy is fielding T-34s.
2. Bridgehead yes....Beachhead NO!! You have no means to deploy your vehicles to capture a beachhead, for that you need Amphibious assault ships.
3. Again you would need either artillery or Air-Support when attempting to either cross by building a bridge or to cross amphibiously using APCs and IFVs.

Much emphasis need to be laid on power,military and diplomacy.Africa suffers from acute power shortage,if in the next 20 years,we can build our power generation capacity over 150,000MW,we will power Africa and seize the continent as a neo-empire.

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by EVarn(m): 9:46pm On Nov 26, 2015
Nigeria needs to start building a powerful military that can project power outside Africa in 20 years time; much emphasis should be placed on R&grin(acquisition of technology in strategic areas of automobile engineering,ballistics,aeronautics and marine engineering,steel and metallurgy,computer/cyber-technology,thermo-nuclear physics,general reverse engineering,advanced pharmaceutical research,bio-warfare and nanotechnology) and a stabilized TRADOC.
The military should have 5 national command and control centres(NW,NE,SW,SE and FCT central command); with equipments including fighter jets,missiles,tanks,logistics,helicopters,drones,advanced radars etc stationed in each zone under a single regional commander.
Recruitment should be strictly based on merit and skill should determine advancement in military hierachy,anyone without a B.sc and field experience should never be promoted beyond the rank of lieutenant.
We should look towards controlling trade activities in the south atlantic ocean in the near future.

here's an excerpt from a Sierra Leone newspaper years back.

On 02 December 1997 Sierra Leone's military junta accused
Nigeria on Tuesday of moving an amphibious tank landing ship
and two support vessels into Sierra Leone's territorial waters. A
military spokesman said the NNS Ambe and two support ships
had anchored 30 nautical miles off the Sierra Leonean coast
before pulling back into international waters. "The three Nigerian
warships which anchored about 30 nautical miles in Sierra Leone
territorial waters have sailed back into international waters from
their former position," the spokesman said.

The best way to gain leadership is by using the most obvious weakness of your target to propagate your own grand agenda,for the greater good of all.
