Can you buy any of those jets from those countries? No. Only second hand.

Why don't you buy from China?

Fact is that the Chinese variant contains IP that the PAK one doesn't

Different aircraft, different manufacturers, different designations

i dont like you a tall...

i just keep quiet because of henry...

@nemesis2u: SA's loss, India's gain. The SA Army funded the development and the finished thing is a "Make in India" product!
It seems selling IP is here to stay for the SA defence industry.

Moroccan M1A1SA Abrams tanks

just saw photos of a turkish army Otokar Cobra vehicle with a mounted turkish remote weapon system,it was undamaged .it looks like the occupant just fled and left the vehicle now in the hands of ISIS.Whats wrong with turkey army !

61mech:
It was largely funded by Saab. The IP is theirs to do with what they want. The SANDF have not been able to fund anything in the last decade.

These cooperative projects are the only way the local defence industry will survive. Its utterly pointless for them to rely on the SA gov. for contracts. Companies like Paramount don't even cater for the SANDF and focus exclusively on the international market.

But Denel products need operational usage by the defence to create damand.

Apart from @Jake, is anyone else on here following the Mighty Russia page on instagram?


If you aren't, you are missing quite a lot. I mean, the Russians are kicking major ass in Syria, especially those SSO guys.

The Russians, Special forces have been way more effective than US and British commandos in Syria.

Those Russians bring major pain to the fight.

jakeporeshenko:

Hehehe I saw the videos, everyone's going ham because Russian SOF are wearing hezbollah patches.

It's a NATO army.

gottfried21:

Same way U.S Navy seals "advising" in Syria are wearing PKK patches

Patchesagain:


Those are just regular Americans who just joined PKK

US operators only work with YPG

America doesn't like Communists

Patchesagain:

Yes.

Stop trying to equate the two. It's pathetically transparent.

my oga abeg link to the sight or their social media handle.

d instagram app dey zap my data like lighting.

Henry240:


No back doors man, it has to be the Instagram page. That's the only source for the videos. @MightyRussia, that's the handle.

Patchesagain:


Lol that's the same source I was basing MY argument on

To my mind surplus just means standard ammo, perhapse not the correct use of the word, but you know what I mean. Fact remains, you will have to buy specialised ammo and neither RSA or big has the budget to do so (apart from SF)

I know a DMR is not a sniper rifle, it's a marksman's rifle. But 600m is still a tough shot for a semi auto and the FAL simply doesn't get the MOA unless it's a brand new build. Sure, If you are bench shooting it's no problem... But out in the field? No Bueno!

I didn't know about the M27... Thats just retarded... Marines: first in, last to think

Henry240:


The Admin, who I believe is a top level Russian operator gave a proper clap back at those guys complaining. Man, I don't think I've seen our guys with POV gopro cameras in combat, apart from training videos.

It would be nice to see our commandos in combat.
