andrewza: it could still just go back into production ya'know Plus, new MBT is so low on the list of needs. Hopefully something new will be on the market. In anycase, something like the Jap Type 10 or Leclerc MBT is more in line with what we need. Or... we could break the bank an invest in K-2's Basically, there is so much out there, not getting the Leo would not be the end of the world. Hell, maybe some Chally 2's will be on the market by then... Basically, as long as we dont buy slavshit, im happy |

Henry120:I'm not surprised by your wishful thinking,and fantasy world sentiments. Link-ZA is part of the Combat Net Interoperability Standard(CNIS),introduced as part of the 98 defence review along with Gripens,Hawks,Submarines etc. Every Gripen,Valour class frigate,Oryx etc is tracked using Link-ZA during operations,unlike some whom jets vanish under their noises. "You don't have a brain cause we can't see it",type of argument you're putting up. Regarding the numbers of the Rooivalk,The Test Flight and development centre(TFDC) where one Rooivalk is stationed is part or a unit of the South African Air force. The South African air has 11 Rooivalks. The SANDF doesn't hoard equipment,as part of aircraft life span it'll will be upgraded,integrated with newer avionics,EW kit and weapons. With that in mind one airframe is kept at the centre. Like a true military. Unlike your rebel force,grappling to deal with ill trained boko boys whom continue to "chop your land" like Cameroon did with the Bakassi peninsula. |

MikeZA: I'm not surprised by your wishful thinking,and fantasy world sentiments. Even every SF operator can car a impi tracker that can hook up with link ZA and be tracked, means when he needs support it will arrive where he is. Even the Navies Xena boats are linked with link ZA and the xeana base can track them any where. Every new radio purchased by the SANDF must be LINK-ZA compatible |

andrewza: Joint project with the Brazilians would be nice. They have their own TTD which they also shelved and their Leo 1's are getting old. Could be another fantastic co-operative like the A-Darter |

TTD http://www.military-today.com/tanks/tank_technology_demonstrator.htm The TTD or Tank Technology Demonstrator prototype main battle tank was completed in the early 1990s. It used some German Leopard 2 MBT technology and was intended to replace ageing South African MBTs. Only a prototype has been built and the TTD never went into service because of limited funding. This vehicle is currently kept at the Armor Museum. Some of the TTD subsystems were applied to the Olifant Mk.2. These upgraded MBTs are expected to serve well into the 21st century. The TTD has all-welded steel hull and turret. Vehicle is protected by a composite armor. No official details of the protection have been released, however it was claimed that the front arc protects against APFSDS and HEAT rounds of unspecified caliber. All-round protection is against medium-caliber rounds. All critical subsystems are also protected against medium-caliber fire. Protection could be enhanced by modular add-on armor packages or ERA packages. Vehicle has improved protection against anti-tank mines. The Tank Technology Demonstrator is armed with a GT-7 105-mm rifled gun, which is similar to British L7 tank gun, mounted in the Olifant Mk.1B tank turret. This gun fires all standard NATO 105-mm tank ammunition. It has a rate of fire in 6 rounds per minute. It is worth mentioning that the turret of the TTD can accommodate larger LIW 120-mm smoothbore gun. Most of the rounds for the main gun is stored inside the turret bustle, separated from the crew by armored screen and fitted with blow-off panels. Loader automatically pre-selects ammunition type. This Olifant Mk.1B turret is compatible with application on Centurion and Chieftain main battle tanks, making this turret suitable for upgrading these tanks. Secondary armament consists of two 7.62-mm machine guns. One of them is mounted coaxially with the main gun, second is located on top of the roof. This prototype main battle tank is fitted with modern fire control system. It provides a good fire accuracy even on the move. Vehicle is also fitted with navigation and communication equipment. The Tank Technology Demonstrator has a crew of four, including commander, gunner, loader and driver. Vehicle is powered by unspecified turbocharged diesel engine, developing 1 250 hp. It was designed to operate away from workshop support and is capable of self-deploying over long distances. |

andrewza:Every deployed unit has a tracker. Soon if he needs support,he'll just press a button and his message will appear on the Chaka C2 software. Where the commander is sitting. CNIS is standard,other equipment include ISTAR stuff procured under Project Cytoon. |

Patchesagain:The A-Darter is simply waiting for the air force to order it,putting the project into the industrialisation and production phase. The defence review might the reason holding the order. Collaboration should on the Marlin BVR missile which is reported to going for tests next year. http:///nkDFO1yYHj http://www.janes.com/article/43439/marlin-nears-first-test-aad143#.VB7E5e-apdM.twitter |

The defence review might the reason holding the order. interesting I wonder if the development of a ground launcher for the Uhmkonto for the GBADS program will be halted to allow the adoption of the Marlin Either way, a Valour Class cruising about with 16 Uhmkonto and 16 Marlin in the VLS tubes will be a hell of a keystone in fleet air defence 2 Likes |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MikeZA: 5:03pm On Sep 21, 2014 |
Patchesagain:The Umkhonto is part of the sable. Talk about a ground launched variant of the missile(Marlin) I think came from the Brazilian need to have a ground launched radar guided missile. To sought of attract them into the programme,as for Umkhonto wouldn't offer much technology transfer. Cause a radar version development will focus around the seeker head,boosters and warheads. Meaning it would really be unwise for the Brazilians to call for joint-dev. The was talk of the ground based launchers(containers) to have different "Umkhontos"(radar,IR,IR Extended). To avoid using expensive missiles like the radar version against helicopters or worthless aircraft 10km or so away. All that needed is to upgraded the missiles to area defence. |

[size=15pt]Another horse in the stable[/size] Denel Dynamics is showing a model of its Raptor III precision stand-off weapon for the first time, in the company’s display outside Hangar 4. The weapon is tailored to a strategic mission against high-value targets, which are often hardened and well-defended. Like its predecessor, the Raptor II, the new weapon has pop-out wings to extend range. However, the Raptor III is aerodynamically cleaner with its systems being housed within the weapon body. Other systems, such as infrared seeker, have also been improved. The programme is currently in the development stage. Raptor III is a long-range (less than 300km) weapon that can be programmed to fly a variety of flightpaths. It is guided by jam-resistant GNSS (global navigation satellite system) and inertial navigation, with optional low-light TV or imaging infrared terminal-phase seekers. Automatic target recognition algorithms allow the weapon to identify its target and guide itself to impact with a circular error probability of less than 3m. Blast/frag and penetration warhead options are available. Attack profiles are best planned on the ground for optimal mission planning, but the Raptor III has a datalink for in-flight target reprogramming. The weapon can be fully integrated with an aircraft’s fire control system, or linked to the carrier’s system by wireless transmission. 4 Likes

If South Africans behaved like Nigerians. And I was post the pictures I took and links for new weapon systems revealed at the AAD,some Nigerian would collapse and die of hatred. From the Badger IFV,new UAVs,New MRAPS,New missiles etc |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MikeZA: 7:01pm On Sep 21, 2014 |
Patchesagain: [size=15pt]Another horse in the stable[/size]I prefer this systems over -200km range cruise missiles. As they're far cheaper. SAAF still has need for such weapons. Coupled with aerial refuelling any Sub-saharan African country hoping to distabilise any SADC country,will sure know a strong punch from the South is coming. |

Example is your Mbombe MRAP, we see photos of it, but SANDF refused to buy.

agaugust:SA defence industry capabilities. Which forms part of SA defence's tail. South Africa is AHEAD of all African nations in military tech. What we know about defence companies is that they rally behind their countries during warring times,to sell their weapons. Vehicles like the Mbombe,are a response to the SANDF projects. The replacement for the Cassipirs and Mambas with new APCs. It is a defence expo not arms manufactures marketing show. 2 Likes |

MikeZA: what's this obsession you have on the Mbombe APC? Love it? Whatever it is IFV or whatever, it is almost another Rooivalk failure...rejected by SANDF because they cannot afford it . |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MikeZA: 10:58pm On Sep 21, 2014 |
agaugust:The Badger IFV was chosen. Which is more expensive,and proves that affordability isn't a factor at all. It might be chosen as replacement for the APC replacement project. You thought in your standards that the Mbombe is really awesome,and the SA army should run make orders? LOL SMART BUYERS. Jordan has already ordered more 40 of them. What failure are you talking about? 3 Likes |

MikeZA: The Badger IFV was chosen. Which is more expensive,and proves that affordability isn't a factor at all. One buyer out of 150 countries is NOT smart 40 units sale of an IFV that cost millions of dollars to develop, is a near business failure. That is how DENEL entered into debt and collapsed before SA government bailed it out with cash handout . |

Patchesagain: [size=14pt]No way ignorant bush man ! Now I know South Africa does NOT have any tank like Nigeria's modern T-84 Oplot. Our new tank CANNOT be penetrated by any weapon or missile in Africa ! Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) is out-dated when used alone.... Nigeria's T-84 Oplot has 3 different types of armour combination. 1. Composite multi-layer armour 2. ERA armour 3. Rolled Steel All three types of armour built into one single Nigerian army tank ! Wow ! Best tank in Africa ! You just wasted your time writing a useless analysis of South African anti-tank missiles Ingwe and Mokopa or Milan that CANNOT penetrate modern day Multi-Layer Composite armour of Nigerian T-84 Your missiles are built to penetrate only ERA...Explosive Reactive Armour....Reactive armour, but unfortunately for SANDF our new Naija super tank has multi-layer Composite Non-Reactive armour on all vital areas....Passive armour multi-layers is on Nigerian army's mighty T-84 tank o ! Yeeeeeh !! South African army is finished ooooo !! South African anti-tank missiles have failed, your army in now defenseless against the onslaught of Nigerian army T-84 ultra-modern tanks. Gripen jet bombs CANNOT penetrate our T-84 tank o ! Nigerian army T-84 has composite impenetrable armour, and more than that.... Our T-84 has new generation self-protection anti-laser and anti-missile weapon called Varta Optronics Counter-measures, it will jam all missile guidance systems directed at the tank from enemy tanks, IFV, jet fighters, helicopters, artillery, ATGM infantry mobile launchers.... nothing can penetrate Nigerian army's new world class Tank that South Africa does NOT have ! "Protection The protection system includes : Multi-layer passive armour, Nozh-2 explosive reactive armour Zaslon active protection system Varta Optronic Counter-Measures System and other tank protection means. Built-in new generation Nozh-2 anti-tandem-warhead explosive reactive armour protects against APFSDS, (HESH) or high-explosive plastic (HEP) and HEAT-type projectiles. Nozh-2 ensures protection against: hand anti-tank grenades, hand-held and stationary grenade launchers and recoilless guns (including ammunition with tandem warheads) anti-tank missiles of TOW-2, MILAN and Shturm-S type HEAT projectiles fired by 125 mm tank smoothbore guns APFSDS projectiles fire by 125 mm and 120 mm tank guns Both sides of the driver's compartment are fitted with explosive reactive armour panels for extended protection. The hull sides are hinged with large rubber skirts to withstand the attacks of man-portable anti-tank weapons. Oplot features a Varta optronic countermeasures system for deceiving incoming missiles and anti-tank guided weapons. The system integrates laser warning sensors, infra-red jammer and smoke / aerosol screen laying system. The Cptronic countermeasure system provides: confusing of the guidance systems of ATGM by putting out laser jamming covering the horizontal plane of ±18° relative to the main gun tube and ±2° in the vertical plane jamming of the ATGM guidance systems that use laser illumination of targets, semi-automatic laser guided homing projectiles as well as artillery systems equipped with laser range-finders by activating the remote fast-deploying aerosol screens in a sector of ±45° relative to the main gun tube." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-84 All South African weapons CANNOT penetrate Nigerian army's new T-84 Oplot tank oooo !
