ViceAdmiral:

I saw the SANDF Armed forces day parade, those guys actually turn the turrets towards their CiC when marching past their CiC

Henry240:


In all, how many new ships are coming in or have been delivered?

Looks like the SANDF's T5 deal is going to happen.

Seems it was financed by the sale of 6 units of G6 Rhino from SANDF stocks.

Will be a very neat acquisition and will give our air-mobile units a big boost.

Best thing is that it has 5(?) round simultanious hit on targets under 30km, meaning one gun can fire 5(?) shells on different trajectories and have them all hit the target at the same time... meaning a battery of 6 guns could land 30 shells on target simultaneously.

Only thing is, i don't see the economic value of blowing up a $3,000 car with a 25,000 bomb.

africaken254:
to americans $ 25,000 is nothing if they can afford to air condition a bunker in a isolated afghan outpost

Henry240:


I was speaking in your earlier reference to kenya. In Nigeria we only use PGMs on very HVT, it's expensive. MK82 bombs from F-7s and Rockets from Alpha jets are enough.

Henry24o:

Availability.

Odunayaw:
and who says a 58m OPV can't patrol "long range" ..I mean what is the full mean of OPV(don't answer this)

Centrifude:


That kind of thinking is what's killing us as Africans, believe me killing a Terrorist with a $25,000 or $100,000 Bomb is a very small price to pay.. Terrorists are capable of causing millions of Dollars in damage..whether it's blowing up a $3,000 car or $100 Tent, the fact is you are stopping someone who might kill your people... It's worth it.

Remember "What is save in cash will be paid for in blood"

africaken254:
another way to cut cost is to manufacture MK82 munitions and then buy the fuses or laser/GPS guided kit,Which we can acquire from US at halve the cost through United States Foreign Military Financing.its time i believe we become self reliant like Ethiopia,i believe this is achievable if only senior KDF command wanted

Rubbish!!


There are cost effective ways to doing things, and this is what I'm saying. $25,000/bomb x 1000 targets = $25 million, which African Air Force can afford that amount on bombs alone per month?

Flight cost and maintenance cost not included.

Practicality.

Senegalese soldiers with the 1st Paratrooper Battalion move to clear a building during urban operations training July 17 in Thies, Senegal as part of Africa Readiness Training 16. ART16 is a U.S. Army Africa exercise designed to increase U.S. and Senegalese readiness and partnership through combined infantry training and live-fire events.

africaken254:
so you would rather waste 10 mark 82 bombs costing $2,000 each than spend $20,000 on one GBU-12 !
