As it may be, Swaziland may be one of the smallest countries in Africa and have an army of roughly around 4000 soldiers + Special Forces + a police paramilitary division (which just got back from Lesotho) but they are well supplied by Israel/South African and are a tough force to reckon with. They havnt got an airforce. Only helicopters and transport aircraft for paratroopers. The Swazi army trains alongside US and the British Army. The Special Forces are so shrouded in secrecy only a few know they exist and apparently they are commanded by one of the princes. They're somewhere in Central Africa right now. And experience wise, they fought against ANC funded rebels and won with survivers either in prison or in exile, and also the occasional skirmish with Mozambican soldiers on the border where they are always victorious. They almost invaded Mozambique once. All in all, the Swazi army is small but trained in such a way that 1 Swazi soldier has to take down 10 in a fight. Regarding the picture you posted, those were off duty soldiers. I just saw them in combat gear and I'm impressed. (Reason being Swaziland is hosting the SADC summit so there are soldiers and APC's everywhere). They allocate more of the country's gdp to the army more than even SA. |
