This just made my day, 2x Moroccan C-130 and a NAf C-130 landed Freetown with aid for the flood victims in that country.
I hope other countries in the region can emulate such.

The BBC is reporting Nigeria has delivered 6 plane loads of relief material.

shell lacks the kinetic force after it rended harmless by the out going canister which explodes,releasing small ball pellets in the path of the incoming shell.this is the principle used by most hard kill active protection systems

Lacks kinetic energy to penetrate a tank, but more than enough to rip a human. This is the main problem with most hard kill systems. Any infantry around tank at the time...I feel sorry for them

saw i similar scenario today on ISIS propaganda video,two abram crew member were on top of the turret .when it was hit by an anti-tank missile on the frontal armour(which it didn't penetrate but the frags from the exploding missile definitely killed or injured the exposed crew)

Is this the reason buhari took over power in 1983? Shagari almost fired him.

Denel Skua target drone. This was the first Denel product which caught my attention back in high school days.
The drone itself is very rarely used as a target, instead it drags targets behind it. Parachute system flips it upside
down after a test, to that it doesn't land/crash on the expensive engine smiley

Only for final qualification of missile systems do they actually blow one up directly.

Hmmm....I've checked air portability via a Charles. It seems it can fit.

http://www.theaviationzone.com/factsheets/c130_specs.asp

Length: 52 feet (15.8m);
Width: 10 feet, 3 inches (3.1m);
Height: 9 feet (2.7m)

Both the RGL 33,Cougar and Caiman will fit in a 130 cargo hold. If Pro Force adds a foot to the .Ara to allow for higher wheel arches Idk.
ground clearance for RG-33 is 14 inches =360mm and ground clearance for Ara is approximately 10inches then why are u making a fuss,moreover thus is just a prototype which gives room for modifications

Q 75: Why PAK air force is unable to export a large quantity of these jets as they claimed they would do when the jet was launched in 2007?

A: 2 export orders are on, 3rd one in the final stage, more under discussion. 1st priority is PAF order of 150+100 jets.


Q 76: And name of the countries you're exporting to?

A: Nigeria, Myanmar & soon Azerbaijan.

Preparation for SADC military exercise at final stage

Namibian Air Force’s contingent to the much anticipated Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Air Forces, Air Arms and Air Wings Joint military training code named Exercise Blue Kunene is exploring all possible means to ensure that the biennial Southern Africa regional block military air power exercise reaches climax.

Namibia is hosting a two weeks Ex-Blue Kunene in Kunene Region to test and perfect SADC capability to respond to complex humanitarian crisis or emergencies created either by armed conflictis, natural or human induced disasters in the continent and beyond under the SADC Standby Force.

Other SADC contingents are expected to arrive in Namibia from today.
