Key Points
It has been confirmed that South Africa will
acquire a military satellite, believed to be a
Russian Kondor-E with a SAR capability
There are indications South Africa will be able to
independently control the satellite
South African Secretary for Defence Sam Gulube
confirmed during testimony to the parliamentary
defence committee on 22 October that the project
to acquire a military satellite is continuing.
Gulube said the cost of the unidentified military
satellite had increased by ZAR213 million (USD19
million) due to foreign exchange issues, but that
it was "now on track". The South African National
Defence Force (SANDF) subsequently told
journalists that all details of the project were
classified.

Note that the cost was increased because SA will now control the satellite independently.

mzilakazi:


Unfortunately the satellite has already been paid for in cash. Last month the secretary of defence admitted before the parliament that Kondor-E spy satellite was built for SANDF intelligence and that it was a secret project.

He told the parliament that it was to be launched this year. Many believe it has already been launched.

South Africa is 100 years behind Nigeria
.

mzilakazi:



I will bite my elbow should Nigeria ever find itself more advanced that SA in development and technology.

Nigeria does not have a radar satellite nor even to speak of military satellite.

You guys are just fvcking liars in South Africa, the story puts 'back on track' in inverted commas meaning NOT CERTAIN, NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE...


Fvcking Soweto liars, South African liar government official said the satellite was launched in 2014, but Janes saya no, it is delayed to 2015, if it ever gets launched.



Your Soweto parliament is just deceiving itself, better call accounts auditors to go trace that money you said they paid, some stealing is going on in your corrupt ANC government.

Also says the Russians did NOT say South Africa is the buyer, so no proof it is South African sale, reason why Janes put the topic in inverted commas....'back on track'....NOT sure !

"Russia's Interfax-AVN news agency subsequently cited a source as saying the launch of the Kondor-E for an unidentified foreign customer had been delayed for at least several months due to "technical and organisational reasons". It reported in August that the launch had been postponed again to 2015 because Russia and Kazakhstan had failed to reach an agreement"

Now don't just bite your elbow, break it with a sledge hammer...

"The Embassy of the Republic of Korea contacted the agency to help rescue the vessel, which is owned by its national.

Consequently, in a swift operation coordinated by Capt. Warredi Enisuoh, NIMASA’s Director of Shipping Development, the agency’s newly-built satellite surveillance system with cloud-penetrating radar capabilities was brought to bear and the incident was resolved within six hours.

The NIMASA team, working with the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Air Force, which used air and sea patrols, was said to have quickly put up a response and reception plan that forced the hijackers to abandon their mission and flee."

Gripen jet uses BVR missiles but SAAF does NOT have it.

Same way SAAF did not buy ANY SINGLE Hawk jet targeting pod, sharaaap liar !!!!

Gripen radar tracking range for ground targets is only about 60km

Gripen jet uses BVR missiles but your half baked SAAF Gripen does NOT have it.

Same way SAAF did not buy ANY SINGLE Hawk jet targeting pod, sharaaap liar !!!!

agaugust:


You built Umbani bombs yourselves and Sweden refused to allow it work on your own Gripen jets, you got screwed up after all the billions of dollars you paid your Swedish masters for the over-rated and poorly armed Gripens of SAAF
.

agaugust:


NAF F-7 and Alpha jets are cleared to use the manufacturer specified targetingpods, but we don't have them, but the Pakistanis and the French do have.
.

agaugust:


The only lie I see exposed is yours.

SAAB of Sweden has white engineers maintaining SAAF Gripen jets for you, same way NAF uses Pakistanis

After paying millions of dollars bribe to SAAB officials to sell Gripens to you, they still milk you dry for maintenance cash until you could no longer afford it and froze 14 Gripens into long term storage
.

agaugust:


There is a big difference between receiving information about a target's location and having a fvcking 3km short range FLIR to lock-on and fire weapons at the same target
.

agaugust:


South Africa has only 1 airworthy Gripen jet

We win again.

agaugust:


Liar ! Big Liar !! The highest number of SAAF Gripens in the air at one time is only 8.

Why did the NAF air marshal in your own source tell Janes Defense than Nigeria has 11 operational F-7 jets?

South Africa has only 1 airworthy Gripen jet

We win again.

agaugust:


All your post is rubbish.

Cuban Bay Of Pigs was a civil revolt, a failed coup detat see your source mentioned thousands of policemen in action

About 150 men armed came ashore to overthrow a government they hate.

The whole fight was 99% civilians vs police.

The whole Bay Of Pigs coup detat crisis ended in about 3 days of civil disobedience, is that a war ?

Liar of Gauteng

South Africa was defeated by teenage Cuban girls that have not even fought their boyfriends in school, talk less of a war experience.

NEWS AGENCY OF NIGERIA
May 18, 2012
Abuja


NigeriaSat-2,one of four Nigerian satellites(NigeriaSat-1,NigeriaSat-X and NIGCOMSAT-1R) in orbit.

Nigeria would launch a locally manufactured satellite and in 2025 develop rocket and propulsion system. “In 2026 we have allies in electronics and software involved in space technology, and in 2028 we would now launch a Nigeria made satellite.”

Ewa enumerated the achievements of the ministry to include the launch of two low earth observation satellites – NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X as well as a communication satellite-NigComSat-1R. He also said a rocketry was successfully launched on Wednesday in Epe, Lagos, while about 40 doctors and 60 masters degree holders had been trained in space technologies.

“100 personnel from the military who have been trained in space applications this year are now ready to be involved in surveillance satellite project.”

Fool

The project was cancelled because.....

"However, around 2007, the South-African government froze Project Flute after the nation's officials had realized that the full control over the satellite and its data would remain in Russian hands and South Africa would depend entirely on NPO Mash for the spacecraft operation. Such an arrangement would likely result in a significant delay of the access to imagery by military users in South Africa after the pictures had been snapped in orbit.



In response to the closure of the project, NPO Mashinostroenia threatened with a legal action, probably demanding a compensation for already incurred expenses. Moreover, the scandal around Kondor-E threatened to derail a planned launch of the South-African Sumbandila satellite on a Russian submarine-based missile. (The satellite was eventually launched by the Russian civilian space agency, Roskosmos). The situation also led to demands within the South African parliament to investigate the affair."

Eventually Russia took over the satellite, swallowed South Africa's money, and launched the Satellite for Russian use. Ripped off Mandela !


LOL

We see South Africans desperate to claim a satellite, because Nigeria has 3

We see South Africans desperate to claim 1 satellite, because Nigeria has 3

Fake story with no proof. No source confirms the sale. You cannot buy satellites in secret and the whole world does not know.

The only existing story is that the sale was cancelled with good reason stated.

Russia won't sell a spy satellite secretly to South Africa without reporting the sale to UN as required by international law.

Okay, Nigeria has 100 secret nuclear missiles purchased from Russia in 2014. How about that?

Anyway, Russia has robbed South Africa of millions of dollars, President Putin is using the satellite he robbed you of, to fight Ukraine in Crimea

South Africa is 100 years behind Nigeria....Butt Hurt

On October 22, 2014, during a meeting of a
Portfolio Committee on Defense and Military
Veterans, the South African Defense Secretary
Sam Gulube confirmed that a military satellite
was "on track" for launch, essentially revealing
the South-African connection to the Kondor-E
project.

Jealousy makes people to be irrelevant. SA are the owners of Kondor-E, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite which Nigeria does not have.

patches689:


So what is your point?

The South African satellite that is more advanced than the Nigerian one has been delayed?

Ok, whatever.

Btw, just one page ago you were saying that the order had been cancelled!
