Unlike most people here i have little time to waste, particularly on the same topic, and morever with you. If you want to keep insisting that civilians fall under department of defence jurisdiction, cool. I wont stop you. Article does not specify the type of high level talks, i was giving an example of how our minister of defence doesnt have to be informed. What authority/power does she have to stop them?

I quite enjoy living in my 3rd world, mickey mouse, pathetic, banana republic country. So I'm chilled.


Like i stated earlier, the article should be thrown into the garbage section, since neither you nor the article it'self can substantiate the contents in the report.

A delusional report to self-aggrandisement with no substance.

Yet you don't give concrete reasoning as to why it should be thrown into garbage bin. Convince us with facts, not your weak and feeble reasoning that the minister of defence should know about their whereabouts. The mercenaries are private citizens and do not work within the jurisdiction of the minister of defence, so, it is undoubtedly possible that the minister might not have been informed about the developments. It was also said that the recruitment was clandestine.

Still remember when Nigeria wanted to buy weapons in SA illegally, they did not inform anyone other that their claim that they addressed it with the presidency. So, this seems as their modus operandi to only talk to the first citizen. The minister of police did not know anything about the development and hence the money meant to buy weapons illegally was confiscated without Zuma having to interfere.

If you Zulu kaffirs weren't so uneducated your GDP would have probably be the same as ours or even more because of the infrastructure built by the pink people but sadly for you, Zulus are the worlds dumbest humans, SA will never catch Naija again.

Feel free to bring different numbers for 2015 - you'll still lose - like you so clearly have lost already.

It follows that when there are slaves, there will also be slave masters.

In Nigeria, there are tons of slaves - oppressed by their own people. Nothing could be more stûpid.

18 September 2014

Amid Rooivalk restart talks, Denel eyes new platform

An ongoing discussion about restarting Rooivalk production includes an option to design a new platform based on technology developed for South Africa’s indigenous attack helicopter, says Denel Group chief executive Riaz Saloojee.

Last March, South African defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula publicly expressed interest in restarting a Rooivalk production line that has gone dormant since 2007 after delivering only 12 aircraft, but offered no details on timing or funding.Those discussions between the Ministry of Defence and Denel Group are ongoing, Saloojee says.

The talks have also broadened to consider additional options, including development of a new aircraft.Asked if Denel would restart production of the Block 1F standard of the Rooivalk that entered service in 2011, Saloojee instead described the ongoing talks as taking a broader view.“We’re not sure if it could be a new platform completely based on the same technology,” Saloojee says. “We don’t know. But definitely we are discussing a roadmap going forward.”

Saloojee declined to define a minimum number of orders that would be required to justify relaunching Rooivalk production or starting a new development programme.“We are in analysis phase at the moment. We are looking at the feasibility not only from a manufacturing perspective but also a market perspective – what is the investment that is going to be required over what period. So all of those decisions need to be considered before a decision is taken,” he says.

The Rooivalk was launched in 1984 by a predecessor company of Denel called Atlas Aircraft Corporation during the apartheid era, when sanctions limited the country’s access to weapons systems. It leaned heavily on the engine and dynamic components designed for South Africa’s Oryx helicopter, which includes elements of the Puma and Super Puma aircraft.The Rooivalk programme, however, was delayed as South Africa shifted suddenly into the post-apartheid era 10 years later.

The aircraft finally entered service in 2011 with weapon system and gearbox upgrades developed to meet the Block 1F standard.The aircraft was deployed in a combat situation for the first time in 2013. A South African unit assigned to a United Nations peacekeeping force deployed the Rooivalk against artillery positions of the March 23 Movement, a rebel army in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that had shelled civilians.“We’re saying we’ve got this technology, we’ve got this platform, surely,” says Saloojee. “There must be a roadmap going forward in order to secure the technology and the future capabilities that we plan.”

GDP per capita :
South Africa: 11500
Nigeria : 2500

thus if we had the same population as Nigeria,we would have a gdp 4,5 times that of Nigeria.

during the Libya invasion of chad, chad was undergoing a civil war.

A faction of chad was supporting lybia which was occupying norther chad. This Chadian faction provided scouts and infantry. Libya was proving Arial support and artillery.....so lybia wasn't fully engaged.


France was backing and supporting the other Chadian faction. Later in the war, the two Chadian faction united against Libya who still didn't have her own foot soldiers and infantry in Chad

And with heavy FRENCH SUPPORT, Lybia was defeated.

You have never told a complete truth in your entire nairaland existence.

Wrong war buddy

Google "toyota war"

French influence was limited to supporting a no fly zone and raiding one airfeild which had aircraft that violated it

Ground combat was all done by Chad - and they eradicated 1/10th of Libya army and captured/destroyed libya equipment worth $1,5 billion

Nope, dummy !

SIPRI did not say you paid for all Badger IFVs, SIPRI only quoted paper value of contract, and they do it for all arms sales that have paper value published. SIPRI is not a financial monitor, they are arms transfer monitor, they don't know and don't care if you pay for weapons, all they care about is that weapons were transfered.

SIPRI lacks accurate data, they say SANDF has ORDERED 238 Badgers, they did NOT say you paid for 238.

South Africa ordered A400M Airbus from France and NEVER paid in full, only part payment, and still NEVER got a single aircraft, contract was cancelled.

SANDF has ONLY 6 Badger IFVs, when you get one more unit, we will be adding it up to know how much you paid for. Money, not paper document, is what buys you weapons, money, cash, not your empty talkative mouth !

SANDF = 6 Badger IFVs paid for.

.



Augustus - if you wish to argue with SIPRI, an internationally recognized and respected arms deal monitor, then that is your prerogative.

The fact's are this:

- Deal for 236 Badger IFV's has been finalized
- 222 will be built in South Africa, with 70% of each being South African components
- 14 Badger will be built in Finland.
- Licensed production has been finalized and the facility to build the vehicles has been built


The deal is done, the money paid, the vehicals on their way.

Proof money has been paid:

Stop lying dude, you accuse people of lying, yet you patches is the resident liar on Nairaland

South Africa has NO Badger production facility.

All current 6 Badgers manufactured in Finland exported to South Africa

The next 31 Badgers will still be made in Finland and exported to Southies


The total contract to the consortium is R 8.3 billion. An initial R 1.048 billion order was placed in 2007 to develop a prototype of each variant, followed by 12 pre-production vehicles. During the manufacturing phase, the first 37 production vehicles will be built by Patria in Finland, then the other 227 will be produced in South Africa.

Fact is, you south-africans cooked up a story to feel relevant, and the south-african government runs a banana regime.

I mean.......... does this make any sense to you? just say you were joking.



That fat woman comes into the picture because your fairytale mercenaries are EX-SADF. People who fall under her jurisdiction.

What a pathetic country.

Your Defence minister and the entire cabinet of the mickey mouse President should be disbanded.

You run a mediocre government in south-africa.

Why are you so emotional?

Nigeria is the country that is a failed state, not South Africa - so you are literally a banana republic

The Minister of Defense is only responsible for serving members of the SANDF - she has nothing to do with PMC's
