We provided a source a few weeks back. The CAS confirmed them. This CAS flies combat sorties.

A soldier to the core.

Patchesagain:


Your origional post says nothing other that aircraft that are a low priority are not fully operational and that aircraft about to be replaced are old.

Wow, good job Cpt Obvious.

18 000 flight hours

Deal with it

jl115:

The reason why all our C-130BZs are not all operational at once:
thus we have more time to make them look like this:

jl115:

NAF can only afford to fly 2 2nd gen F-7s jets.

Henry240:


It's because you lack the funds to keep them operational and the aviation fuel to fly them.

Henry240:


Say's the man who has confirmed the SAAF have no combat experience.

jl115:

yup!!! your right, planes can be upgraded and maintained while they are flying.

jl115:

When did i confirm that?

Henry240:


Now you have amnesia. Lol

Henry240:


In your case, they should probably be sold off to Mexico. There is absolutely no need for anything you have in your pathetic Airforce. They are all usually grounded or in the Freezer anyway, they sure won't be missed.

jl115:

No, its just you imagining things.

jl115:

You should really read your posts before actually posting them, all our pilots go through the same training, thus there are minimal differences between them.

jl115:

Ever heard of the Kalahari? And we fought in the Sahara in ww2.

Henry240:


This isn't Hollywood make believe or Photo media deterrent, the SAAF is on life support. I'm sure the Mexicans and thais would bail you out.

Henry240:


No you did not. The SANDF only came into existence in 1994.

agaugust:


[size=14pt]NAF flew 1,148 combat sorties in 2 months. Show us how many combat sorties SAAF has flown since 20 years ago !

Henry240:


I thought you said SAAF "9" Gripen pilots have totally different training from other Gripen pilots from other nations, how come you are now saying the differences are now minimal.

#caught telling lies.

jl115:

Are you forgetting WW1,WW2,Korean War, Border War(23years).

ActivateKruger:


We see them below

Henry240:


I can

Henry240:


The SADF is not the SANDF. Virtually all members of the defunct SADF have all ran away to Australia.

jl115:

The thing is experience is past down from generation to generation, those pilots that flew in the border war might not be pilots any more but they are flight insructors, air force advisors ect ect.

Henry240:


Yeah, experience is passed down, I agree, but for the SAAF, and your military, the old guard have all run away to australia.

I can bet, 80 % of the cops in the seize in sydney were former SANDF operators.

So for South-Africa, it is a link non-existent.

jl115:

Fact is Henry, its been approved!!

jl115:

Dam right it isnt, now stop worrying about SAAF(the defence review will sort out all the Air Forces small problems), them.

jl115:

Henry240:


You're been delusional.

jl115:

SADF=SANDF same country, same men, same equipment(when integrated in 94).

agaugust:


Classroom lecture is NOT = Real War.

99.99% of current SAAF pilots have ZERO war experience. Finish and Klaar
.

jl115:

I have posted many many sources, and seeing you dont repost sources neither will i, consult google.
and nn have made no tenders for 10 opv.

And another thing....remember the defence review its been approved.

Henry240:


The men are in australia.

jl115:

Are you fcking blind or just stpd, i said OUR Gripen pilots receive the same training as each other.
