Who have you sold your half south african armoured car to?

Thiza:
South African company Rippel Effect Systems has landed another contract for IGS-4S day/night sights for the Colombian Army which has now standardised on this item of equipment from Rippel for all its cavalry requirements.

The company expects to complete installation on the whole Colombian Cascavel armoured combat vehicle fleet during next year.

The IGS-4S was launched as a Rippel product two years ago and the technology is licensed from South African firm Vision 24 Observation Systems. The model selected by Colombia is the IGS-4S compact video sighting system, which can be utilised in conjunction with various vehicle-mounted weapons in calibres ranging from 7.62 mm to 125 mm. The system provides the operator with a 24/7 below-armour observation and ranging capability to fire the weapon in all weather conditions, low visibility and darkness.

Rippel Effect said the IGS-4S accommodates multiple sensors tailored to suit user requirements and weapon choice. As a single system it can be pre-programmed with ballistic aiming marks for any weapon and the various types of ammunition for the selected weapon. IGS-4S has the additional ability to range distance to target. It has a laser rangefinder, day camera, uncooled thermal imaging and multi-function screen, which displays aim points and system parameters, as well as controls for the thermal camera. The system is optimised for installation in small vehicles where space is of prime consideration.

Rippel Effect Systems

The company has developed a video bore sighting device as well as a day/night sight, the VK-RSS-02, that can be used with the secondary weapon on armoured vehicles (such as the 7.62 machine gun on the Cascavel). Both the bore-sight and the VK-RSS-02 integrate seamlessly with the IGS-4S System. The video bore sight makes bore sighting possible by one person from inside the vehicle. The VK-RSS-02 makes it possible to use the secondary weapon from below-armour. The VK-RSS-02 can also be used as hand-held thermal imaging device.

Rippel Effect is known for its series of 40 mm grenade launchers and is focusing on three main products: its new less lethal six-shot multiple grenade launcher RLL37/38 which will be marketed in association with two of the world’s foremost less lethal ammunition manufacturers - Condor of Brazil and ALS of the US; the XRGL40 extended range 40 mm MGL and IGS-4S targeting and sighting system. The XRGL40 can fire low velocity, medium velocity and less lethal ammunition with very low port pressures, including rubber, ball, soft-nose, illuminating and smoke grenades. The 5 kg XRGL40 fires a 220 gram medium velocity projectile to a range of 800 metres, versus 375 metres for low velocity ammunition.

Designed as a true multi-role weapon system, it comes with the GR40 smart multi-velocity sight, which allows the soldier to fire 40 mm ammunition with different ballistic profiles from the same weapon - both 40x46 mm low-velocity and 40x51 mm medium-velocity grenades and also the latest less-lethal rounds.

Rippel Effect started marketing the six shot XRGL40 in 2011/12 and in the last two years has managed to sell the XRGL40 extended range 40mm MGL to eight different countries, the extended range 40mm MGL System is now operational in the Middle East, Latin America and Far East. The XRGL40 is also used in 40 x 51mm extended range ammunition development programs by RDM (South Africa), Diehl BGT Defence (Germany), Energetics Technologies Ltd (UK) and Indumil (Colombia).

Actually read this yesterday, didnt even know about Rippel Effect systems, it just shows you how good the South African defence industry really is.

GHKWAME1:
I keep stressing that you guys keep Ghana out of this comparison of d1ck sizes, but you keep bring us into this fvckkery.

Kwaaaa! @BOLDED! Coming from someone who is a citizen from a one party state, this is laughable! Ghanaians have shown the mettle in changing governments when the need arises, receiving lectures about democracy from Nigerians is an insult. … What delusional lies are you making about EPA? First off! this agreement does not involve east Africans, secondly! You guys always W'ack off this your idea of controlling Ghana's economy, no wonder your country is the number one fraud capital on earth. What economic miracle exists in Nigeria? You only sit down for mannah(oil) to fall, whilst countries like Ghana do the hard work, see how your oil dependent economy is crumbling as a result of low prices in oil? Sloganiarism is the hallmark of the Nigerian, from giants of Africa to Africa's biggest economy, there is nothing to show for all these years of boastfulness. Y'all behave like the student whose father can't pay his school fees but has money to buy a cow to celebrate his birthday.

NN = Brown water navy

Confirmed by augubug

Nigeria has a blue water navy with two frigates that can sail around the whole African continent without stopping to refuel NNS Thunder and NNS Okpabana, NO country in Africa has any navy to match our force projection range.

South African Valour frigates CANNOT match Nigerian navy in blue water long range operations.

Our navy out-ranges yours in blue waters voyage

The Igirigi is made from South African armor and reinforced glass... then it has an American Ford chases..

It's half South African, half American and 100% not Nigerian.

The only thing Nigeria did was to design it.... oh fck this thing is ugly like Augustine.

We are in 2014, you barely have any of those

Target date for Nigerian navy project end is 2018-2019, we have about 5 years more, and Nigeria is in now spending heavily.

Submarine training has started and we are selecting submarine type, China has offered us Song Class submarine to consider.

We have made more progress than your paper work project Biro that has no cash to back it up, paper gathering dust at Pretoria MoD

I need proof of sources of those materials, armour and glass, and Ford is an American company !

South African Rooikat, Ratel, etc all have German or other foreign engines.

Please provide source that Nigeria are acquiring subs, didnt you once say subs are obsolete?

Pic where it has bigger wheels, still not enough to make it any less fugly.

Henry120:


It simply means NN can get whatever NN wants. Threats determine defence procurements.

You don't waste funds on 4 Frigates and 3 useless Subs, then you turn around and claim, it is actually OPV's I need.

Neither do you buy a bunch of overpriced light weight fighter jets, and store them in a storage because you neither have the resources or men to fly and man them.

You buy what you actually need, not what you want.

Big lesson for South Africa....nation of the brainless. Common sense is NOT common in their Rainbow nation

Subs took 7years because you were too broke to do anything about them. However, the astonishing part was you kept on telling this facade, all SAN subs were operational, even though you were well aware one had been at the docks for 7 years.

I'd just attribute it to your fraud problem.

I guess you missed the part where the SAN has released the tenders for project Biro
7 Frigates, deal with it

SANDF paid cash deposit for A400M airbus aircraft and could not afford to pay the balance so your deal was cancelled.

SAAF pulled out of the A400M due to cost escalation on the part of Airbus

It had nothing to do with us not being able to afford it, it had to do with us entering a deal for a certain price and then the French asking for a higher one
