32 Battalion had recce wing, and part of the recces of South Africa. You don't know your own country's history. LOL !

"32 Battalion was expanded to 6 infantry companies, a recce wing, and a support company consisting of 81 mm mortar, anti-tank and machine gun sections." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32_Battalion_(South_Africa)

South African special forces from 1975 to 1993 were the same ones nicknamed the Recces. Those are the ONLY experienced special forces in South Africa and they are 99% dead, disbanded, retired, flush down the toilet by Zulu/Xhosa ANC blackmen, or escaped overseas to avoid revenge atta.cks by blacks after apartheid ended. Do I have to teach you your own history?

The name Recces was cancelled by ANC Mandela and co.

SANDF special forces of today have ZERO war experience, please don't hate your weak soldiers, accept them, they are all yours

The parabats have an reccon wing too. Elite units have. Reccon wings. The 32 battalion had that capability,but they were never part of the SADF special forces brigade. It is clearly written on your source that they're light infantry not special forces. Still you don't know what you're talking about. Confusing elite infantry with special forces. Soon you'll be saying 61 Mech are special forces.

[size=16pt] No where in the books of history will you ever read of a 5 year old Nigerian special forces who can't even rescue more than 200 young virgins from the wrath and everyday r.ape of Boko Haram. An operation which was more than perfect for them to exercute. [/size]

You must be silly. The USA has the best Special Forces yet could not rescue the lone prisoner of war held by the Talibans in Afghanistan. It took a prisoner swap to secure the release alive of that soldier! No matter your skill and experience as special force you can not secure the evacuation of 200 hostages without total collateral damage in the porous Sambisa Forest Reserve!

Your ignorance on such basics, is a reflection of the poor tactical rating of your SANDF. I wonder why after all the begging from your military fat stomachs, no one has resigned! Obviously, being in SANDF is the easiest job to get paid for without dropping a sweat!

You just proved me to be very correct, thanks. From 1994 the newly formed SANDF special forces were fresh in-experienced recruits that replaced the old apartheid SADF white-man led and 'borrowed' Angolan citizens war experienced special forces/recces.


Disbanded
" .As one of the results of the negotiations between the National Party and the ANC, the 32 Battalion was disbanded in March 1993 and its members were retired to the town of Pomfret, South Africa.

The guys who did so much dying and fighting for this country were just sort of disbanded on the spur of the moment. It just isn't right. I think it is terrible. I think they were betrayed, quite honestly.

—Colonel Jan Breytenbach
Many members of the unit later helped to found or joined private military companies such as Executive Outcomes and Sandline International, which ironically fought on the side of the Angolan government against UNITA ."


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32_Battalion_(South_Africa)


From May 1994 till today July 2014, SANDF special forces have NOT fought any real war, Parabats fought Seleka and ran away, there is ZERO record of any real war history for the current SANDF special forces of today.

South African special forces are called a "Brigade" in quotation marks because they are not really up to a brigade in numbers today.

Even the disbanded recces 32 battalion was just about 600 men, the whole South African military involved in Bush war was just 4,000 regular army. The recces were not even up to half that number. About 540 of the 600 man 32 Battalion were Angolan citizens fighting for South Africa on UNITA's side of Jonas Savimbi.


Many of the white-men officers are even Europeans and American 'Mercenaries' who traveled to join the war and help their white brothers in South African special forces.

" .There was always a sprinkling of whites originating from countries like Great Britain, the old Rhodesia, Portugal and the USA amongst its leadership cadre ."

The truth has leaked out today.... http://flecha.co.uk/

South African famous recces are dead and gone to the grave like old roger in my nursery rhymes

.

So you cannot tell the difference between the Recces and 32Bn?

kek... your own image specifically has 32 Bn insignia... not recce insignia.

Your mother when she gave birth to you was really confused, that's why I don't blame you. You are as confused as she was. 32 Batallion was never Special force unit of South Africa. It consited mostly of foreign recruited forces of Angola and does not translate into the core SA Recce team of SADF as it was known at the time.

[size=16pt] Members of SA special forces were recently deployed to both CAR and DRC with zero casualties. One member of the recces you claimed not to have any combat experience made the longest sniper kill which took down to the annuls of history with Denel's NTW gun. Hope that is enough to have demostrated their capability than the rag tag special forces of Nigeria who are no match to Shekau's Boko boys. [/size]

[size=14pt]

I proved that the South African recces are not just special forces men, other recces were counted under that name, both regular infantry recces and special forces recces all are nicknamed South African recces in the old SADF era. I posted photo and weblink for that proof.

How many special forces did South Africa deploy in Congo DRC ? The whole SANDF contingent was about 1,800 men. One sniper man special forces, has he become your full size brigade? One man army ? The sniper record k.ill is also not proven except on Wikipedia that cannot be trusted, your SANDF Brigadier General denied it, and no other source is able to prove it, just take it as usual South African propaganda.

Do you know what a war is ? 18 hour Battle in C.A.R with Seleka is NOT a war, NOT an enduring war that tests the long endurance skills of battle tested special forces.

No SF casualties in Bangui means only Parabats were fighting, likely you have no proven presence of South African special forces in Bangui, when we said they were there, you all denied it because of shame of the lost battle, now you say you had special forces there.

Well if so, they become part of the Paratroops disgrace.....

They were known as "the terrible ones" not "recces". The enemy would run away and leave their equipment if they heard tha buffalo battalion was advancing towards their position. The SADF would use them if it didn't want its presence to be known to its enemies in the battlefield. Or if it didn't to make UNITA seem like rag tag force which couldn't fight on its own. The later being the reason why this unit was sent alongside a SWATF battalion into Angola in 87,before regular SADF unit could be sent. Whom the enemy will quickly report "we are fighting white South Africans". Also remember it was absorbed into other SADF units. You do know many Angolans and Namibians whom fought on the SA side during the bush war,live in SA right now. And have SA citizenships,cause in their homelands they'd be seen as "traitors". Many Koevoet and 32 battalion men are employed mostly in game parks.
