Henry!!! over to you

Oga Frumentius.
One of our resident South African Contributor from 2015.
Believed to be in service in the SADF and is suspected to have served in the United Nations peace efforts in the restive Central African Republic( as some of his pictures may have suggested).

He constantly share his opinions on issues raised here and sometimes go into very long debates with Oga Henry. His debate with Oga Henry over the use of open Rapid Deployment Vehicles like the Hornet and the RAV FAV lasted for almost a year if not more than a year. after months and months of debates they later conceded to each other and gave our thread back to us.

Pirates =/= Fishermen.......not the same! And the latter isnt even a SAN problem.....its the responsibility DAFF to control illegal fishing....the reason we dont have piracy is simply due to regular patrolling by SADC members.... the Southern cost is on of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, if left unpatrolled piracy would be rife.

Most crime in RSA occur way inland from the seas, that's why you don't have a piracy problem. Pirates are everyday common criminals who operate at shore or in the open waters. The lack of piracy in SADAC is as a result of the fact that SA criminals do not find it to be lucrative. It has nothing to do with the SA navy.

You're still hanging on to that idea, you didn't read that article about the German team that evaluated the ship ?

I did
but did they come to evaluate its scrapping?

Odunayaw:

To give final advise I guess, decide whether or not it's worth trying to save. Honestly I don't have a thing against the ship but I just feel like NN has invested way toomuch time into wondering and pondering.... they should move on, FG should close eye and acquire some fighting ships for the navy.

We like to poke our noses into West African issues because you know,regional power and all... is say we invest in expeditional platforms for the navy.

LSD's etc. you know what I mean ?

Please re-upload those combatant overhaul pictures

Don't think so... Why move the CIWS inland when the german team would likely be in Germany? And refurbishment wouldn't require removing the parts most of the time..dry docking the ship would be the first step... I might be wrong though.

Most likely damisa. ......it has had its weapons removed post refurbishment. ...., might also be any of the other fast attack craft at the dockyard....... a lot of this ships are going to be decommissioned without the public knowing

Aradu uses 127mm main gun....those are 76mm, the ciws (dardo) is the same as on Aradu. ....the guns with 2 barrels,and are 40mm twin bofors.....,depending on the direction the vehicles were heading.....I will say maybe dockyard or ordnance depot for storage...

oh yeah you speak my language!!!!

Hell I have wet dreams of the Tarlac/Makassar class

I don't see how having 2or3 of those and 4 C28A class corvette(which I'd prefer calling a light frigate) or 2 + 2 type056 corvettes doesn't smell like fruit cake to the Brass and those who control the purse!!!

If any ship is to be decommissioned, the NN would do well to honorably send these ladies to pension stands

I mean the kain owambe wey dem do during the mushak own

It's only a political maneuver, Morocco made a request officialy to join the European union several times but was refused, in exchange it became a privileged partner and has been recognised an advanced status, opening up to high levels of political cooperation. of the European union and sign agreements of economic exchange and facilitations

But lately Moroccan products were blocked by europeen justice because they came from the colonized Western Sahara territory and this created a diplomatic problem between Morocco and the European Union, so the demand to join Ecowas is a diplomatic poker bluff to negotiate better with the European Union specialy by using the europeen fear about immigration (west african Immigrant wave in the case morocco join ecowas )

Yes this is from Morocco eyes... They want a position is ok. For me in geo politics the only thing im concern about is Nigeria. Morocco in Ecowas+ the gas pipeline, it will ve more dificult now to support Western Sahara. If Morocco is in ecowas I dont think that Western Sahara storie will continue because it is in fact the african countries who are for western sahara.
90% of the world phosphat in the hand of Morocco thats what im afraid of... In terms of power in the Region Nigeria will still be the powerful but Morocco will be very disturbing... If Morocco is not afraid of France it is not Nigeria that will make them think twice ... The futur will tell us ...

And what is NOT lucrative about taking a ship hostage and demanding millions of dollars ransom? But okay....lets rather steal R100 000 in a bank robbery, R100 000 goes a lot further

There is crime in Cape Town, Durban, P.E and hundreds of other spots along the coast. Literally a 15 minute drive to the coast. "Way inland"....desperation

NAF AIRLIFTS NIGERIANS STRANDED IN MALI

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has airlifted some stranded Nigerians in Mali back home. The Nigerian Embassy in Bamako leveraged on the NAF Charlie-130 Hercules aircraft to airlift these Nigerians that were victims of human trafficking. The deportees range between 16 - 28 years of age were received on arrival in Nigeria by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Diaspora and Foreign Affairs, Mrs Abike Dabiri Erewa and officials of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP). The successful repatriation of these Nigerians was as a result of collaboration between the Nigerian Embassy and the Malian authorities anchored on mutual agreement. The Nigeria Consular Officer in Mali, Mr Abubakar Audu accompanied the deportees to Nigeria.
