It's Spieonkop, and I didn't want to get into trouble cos she's supposed to be on anti-piracy ops.

So now that the new OPVs are coming, what will the frigates do?

They are the unit that was outside parliament that caused all the consternation

Not quite. The guys at Parliament were from W MPR - Western Military Police Region. The 7th Provost guys at Durbs are the Combat Ready Provost Company, to give them their official name.
Think of it as regular SAPS and the STF.

The Yanks procured the anti-dinosaur rifle for evaluations by their special forces.

The picture might have been taken some where in SADC though.

The black death reduced the popu increasing famers access to land on a whole lot of stuff that went on but whqt they will not tell u is that the moors which was another name for black people were the military power at the time. They thought them everything they know or built opun ask them who were their scientist and other priminents people's teachers. Simpel they were down we unfortunatly we educated them they kick us out of europe ask them why all the early saint and religious and scientific leaders were Africans and they used it to enslavef us whitewashed jesus.(they have been on the planet only 40000 years they are the newcomers)Jesus was born in the middle east which was north west or east Africa untill they built the Suez canal and called it middle east. Jesus was black wolly or nappy hair as stated in the bible. All of this is the source of conflict in the middle east that causef the rise of terrorism with the black and white mixed and sometime white people we call Arabs today. So before u understand what the big boys are doing know thy self learn ur history and u will understand why all of this are happing. They used our spirituality or our sacred science in Kemit against us not the morden egyptians against us remember it was not called religion. This is why the leaders and military fuys need to sturdy history from day one before christianity hay by the way the 10 comandment is actually 48 or something like that in the stone obvthe pyramid in Egypt before Christianity think about it. Bc all this terrisim has economic underpin to it but to undetstand the whole global scenerio u got to understand all of this. When did the bible say Israel will be created I know it is not know bc if they are jews then the profercy of them being shiped on bote as slaves across the ocean has not happend yet after the creation of the state that is when the crazy arab and morden terrorism started and our people begun using it as a means to solve crazy problems.72 vergins. Some are so smart they get theirs on earth before they die. I hopr it helps to give u an over view of the whole situation and how and why it is happening and those who are exploiting it.

stay on topic..this is not a history thread....

you think whites will admit the truth even if you say it the ol day??...waste of time..thats why i dont waste my time with dem....

Unfortunately the Nigerian army hasn't had a media reawakening like the Nigerian Air Force so, photos of the army's research and innovation summit are almost impossible to come by. However here are the couple things I could get.


It seems Nigerian army Anti-Air artillery systems have been re-engineered and some re-purposed as the image on the bill-board shows.

Those are Ratel 60's.
The command ratel has a matlet for the 12.7mm similar, but smaller than the 20mm's mantlet. You'll see it stick out regardless of whether or not the gun is mounted. The idea is to make the command ratel look like a Ratel 20 for obvious reasons.

The officers are located in the crew compartment on lazy chairs and buried in maps and radios. (Cooler box with steaks and beer are at the back door.)
These are later models of the 60's turret with raised copulas to mount laser rangefinders and night vision.

SANDF Ratels generally only mount weapons if they're going to be fired. You can go for months at a mechanised unit before seeing a ratel with a gunbarrel.

Those aren't Ratel 60s though, they are the command version of the Ratel.....however they are missing their 12.7mm gun. @frumentius

Aptly titled 'Textbook Take Down".


Jane's Defence Weekly article on "Operation Restore Democracy".

Senegal's army covers this coming issue of the operation to restore democracy in Gambia. Nigeria led operation which had Senegal providing the force on the ground, along with 250 Ghanaian infantry and air,naval and Special forces cover from Nigeria.

Now that their families have ok'd the release of their names:

The Chief of the South African National Defence Force, General Solly Shoke, has following consultation with the families of the sailors who lost their lives during the attempted rescue of the three Public Works employees at Durban Naval Base on 17 February released the names of the deceased sailors.

The deceased are: Leading Seaman Amrithlall Tothara Ramdin (41) from Naval Base Durban residing in Bluff, Able Seaman Francois William Mundell (26) from SAS MAKHANDA residing in George, Western Cape and Seaman Henro Ter Borg (21) from Maritime Reaction Squadron, residing in Brackenfell, Cape Town. Seaman Ter Borg was on a Tour of Duty in Durban for the 2017 Armed Forces Day celebrations.

The incident happened yesterday while members of the Department of Public Works were working on a sewage valve when gas fumes leaked out and affected their breathing. They tried to escape the pit; however they were overwhelmed by the toxic gases and passed out. One contractor ran for assistance and approached the Maritime Reaction Squadron bus passing nearby. The three SANDF members unselfishly reacted swiftly with the intention to save the lives of their fellow countrymen but unfortunately succumbed to the high levels of fumes in the pit and passed on.

As more assistance arrived, members descended down the pit through a Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus and recovered six members to the top of the pit. All resuscitation attempts could not save the three sailors. Paramedics on the scene conducted the final assessment and declared all six members (Public Works included) dead.

Twenty-four other members that assisted with the recovery of the bodies were taken to St Augustine Hospital where they were treated for shortness of breath. All members underwent Chest X-rays and were cleared. One member from Naval Base Durban was admitted to Hospital for further observation.

The Chief of the SANDF is proud to lead a military with patriotic servicemen and women who are always ready to respond to the call of duty and put their lives on the line just so South Africans could feel protected. These sailors who laid down their lives, did so while on a noble duty to save the lives of fellow South Africans in distress and their actions are commended.

RIP heroes.

I hope so.

On the ATV there is virtually no information on it. It's just crazy. The main problem is the fact that there is no dedicated military media in Nigeria. That's why information is scarce sometimes.
