"On 10 February 2022 a BK117 from C-Flight was conducting a Visrecce/Area Familiarisation sortie in the Cape Town area when a mayday call was heard from an aircraft in distress over the cape peninsula. The BK was in the area of Noord Hoek when the mayday call was heard over the radio and the only aircraft to respond.

The BK routed to the last known area that the aircraft indicated its intention to carry out an emergency landing, a road 6nm inland from Cape Point.

After approximately 10 minutes of seaching in the peninsula area, the a/c was spotted having veered left off a road.

During this time all relevant information was relayed via Ysterplaat ATC and 22 Sqn Ops Room on the situation currently unfolding.

The BK landed near the downed a/c to assist in any means necessary, manage the accident scene and coordinate relief efforts until relevant authorities arrived.

The occupants of the light aircraft was found to have light injuries and was in no immediate danger and in good spirits despite just being in an accident.

The BK withdrew after SAPS, Cape Medical Response, Metro S&R and Simonstown Fire and Rescue services arrived and the accident scene was handed over to them.

A big shout out to everyone who responded and assisted in a timeous and professional manner!!

Lastly, but not least…very well done to the PIC of the light aircraft that suffered an engine failure and managed to land the aircraft.

“ANY landing you can walk away from, is a good landing.”

We wish a speedy recovery to the pilot and his passenger and hope that there are many more flying hours ahead!

The First XV, the rest are reserves.

EDIT 1 with permission: On board the BK117 apart from the crew was the IO from Ysterplaat, a member of the SAPS and an aircrew member from 22 Sqn. Their expertise and professionalism contributed greatly to the assistance of the downed a/c.
Thank you all."

Thanks BUT much prefer the 7.62 NATO. Power, penetration and accuracy: IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE!

A 7.62×51 M80 cartridge has a 147 grain bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of 2,800 fps. ... The 7.62×39 cartridge often has a 123 grain bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of about 2,350 fps. This gives it a substantially lower muzzle energy of 1,508 ft lbs. That makes the 7.62×51 about 40 percent more powerful!

I know you personally know this but it may be new info for many here. Guys, check out comparative accuracy.

I know the FN is difficult for full auto but the same guys who built it at FN Herstal gave us this.

Thanks BUT

I thought they'd decided to focus exclusively on sniper and anti-materiel rifles, but Truvelo is back on assault rifles.
Check out their new AR15s.
No official announcement re replacement of R series, but a few manufacturers putting their hands up.

I still do not understand why the FN-SCAR still offers an optional full-auto selector (L-model). It is so much of limited use, no one ever would advice you to use this for any serious reason.

Let me believe you didn't notice that the article you had in that screenshot was all about APCs and has no mention of MRAP.

Nigerian Air Force get ready for the first batch of M-346FA attack jet, aquired to replace the Alpha jet in the light ground attack role. With a price tag of $1.2 billion (for 24 aircraft) it is the single most expensive acquisition in the history of the Nigerian Air Force

The M-346FA will come between the Super Tucano and JF-17Thunder to become the workhorse of the NAF by complementing the Counter Insurgency warfare carried out by the A-29 Super Tucano

and provide air to air/ air superiority support to the JF-17 Thunder for strategic air defence and deep strike missions.

Yes, but perhaps it is because he shares too much info about the NM. That said, there's no falsehood in the message. The Nigerian Military did ordered M-346FA fighter jets, according to wikipedia.

All they said is that Defense Nigeria is not operated by Nigerian military. Not because of any false story.

Possibly a blessing in disguise imo.....this will allow the SA army to go for the iklwa upgrade on the ratel which is much cheaper..
