South African anti-poaching unit

The guy with the cap is hold a Vektor-SP1-P2CC

Before this I didn't even know that something like that existed.

It worked for the SADF during the border war, and look at Iraqs army, they had thousands of men, I only found out recently while watching Aljazeera that Iraq had more than one hundred thousand soldiers, and in the beginning they out numbered I.S fighters 1:10, so having large numbers isn't always good, large numbers are good for invasions, but when it comes to insurgency it might be better to have a small heavily armed and well trained group of soldiers.

But... Sometimes it all depends on how you use those resources, having large armies might work for other people, so I might be wrong.

The SADF was on the ground with UNITA, meaning it didn't have to contribute numbers.

The Iraqi army isn't well drilled.

1. Troops for patrols.
2. Troops to conduct combat ops.

Many private game rangers use the CR-21 bullpup rifle.

Saw some with it in Hoedspruit sometime back.

Damn I didn't think anyone would use CR-21, because the last time I checked it was still considered a prototype, and the lack of an iron sight, and being able to mount one sight on it was a bit of a disadvantage, but please share some pics of them if you find any.

First time am seeing KDF use the SCAR-H in an operation. Hunting down alshabaab sympathizers who attacked villagers near lamu, Launching there attacked from boni forest which leads up to the Somali border

Westgate mall attacks was also an operation. That was the first time many of us saw the SCAR-H.

The new thing I saw in the video is the Negev minimi.

Ibsamar 2014

South Africa, Brazil, India

As host, the SA Navy will have the Valour Class frigate SAS Spioenkop, the Heroine Class submarine SAS Manthatisi, the mine countermeasures vessel SAS Umhloti and an as yet unnamed offshore patrol vessel taking part. Spioenkop will also have a Super Lynx 300 operated by 22 Squadron aboard for the sea phases of Ibsamar.

Drills and manoeuvres expected to form part of Ibsamar include anti-submarine warfare; visit, board, search and seizure and replenishment at sea (RAS).

Other SA Air Force (SAAF) elements assigned to Ibsamar are a pair of 22 Squadron Oryx, a 28 Squadron C-130BZ, a 35 Squadron C-47TP, a PC-7 from Central Flying School at AFB Langebaanweg and “two fighter aircraft” from AFB Makhado. The Navy has not yet specified whether they will be Gripens or Hawks.

The Navy’s Maritime Reaction Squadron (MRS) will also be involved as will elements of the Special Forces.

The Indian Navy guided missile frigate INS Teg will deploy to South Africa for Ibsamar after being part of a flotilla visiting “friendly nations in east Africa,” according to The Asian Age.

Other Indian Navy vessels on this month-long deployment are the destroyer INS Mumbai, fleet replenishment tanker INS Deepak and a second guided missile frigate INS Talwar.

Countries on the Indian Navy flotilla’s visiting list are Madagascar, Kenya, Tanzanian, Reunion, Mauritius and Mozambique, with South Africa being the extra stop for Teg.

The Indian contingent for Ibsamar will number around 250 and will include, apart from the ship’s company, a Special Forces team and a maritime helicopter with the necessary aircrew and support personnel.

The Brazilian component is expected to be around 200 strong on a frigate platform with a maritime helicopter and Special Forces detachment.

The Indian and Brazilian ships are expected to port in Simon’s town on October 20 with post exercise demobilisation set for November 10 to 14.

It is alleged the SANDF didn't take it into service cause it didn't offer anything much different from the R4.

I'll do so.

I know that very well, it's irritating when you keep going about it when you know the truth.
