Isnt the oryx just a Supa-Puma engine in a smaller frame?

ActivateKruger:


We're resourceful people ain't we?

Denel could acquire a licence to make a modified version for our needs. We do exactly what we did to the Puma and wala an Oxry 2 is born..... We have the experience.

It served SAAF well over the years, should've kept it and maybe turned it into an Oryx project like we did with the Pumas!

ActivateKruger:


The frame is too old, it can't be used anymore.

Inferiority complex.

Even with how much you guys claimed to be developed, you still feel inferior.

The soldier behind him with a face cap is a South African not Nigerian.

Two Men Built an Air Force From Scratch in Chad

The history of the modern Chadian air force is a fascinating one. Just two men — Pres. Idris Deby Itno and Griffin Aerospace executive Habib Boukharouba — are largely responsible for building the Central African country’s air arm.
They did it by way of petro-dollars, illegal arms deals and mercenary recruitment. And they largely succeeded, although one of the man fared better than the other in the end.

Chad is hardly renown for being a center of aviation excellence. The government stood up a small military flying branch with French assistance in the 1970s, but it was staffed almost entirely by French personnel — and was almost entirely destroyed during the Libyan invasion and capture of the capital N’Djamena in 1981.
The situation began to change in 1985, when Pres. Hissene Habré assumed power with support from Paris. Habré took care to have several dozen of his commanders undergo extensive training at French military institutions.
While most of these commanders played a crucial role in the ultimate liberation of northern Chad from Libya in 1987, their subsequent fate was rather tragic. Paranoid about his commanders planning a coup against him, Habré ordered the assassinations of some and forced others into exile.
