So, your solution for people attacking minorities who they (wrongfully) blame for their problems is......wait for it.....attacking another minority ??

The problem is not with the Nigerians in SA or the "Boers"
Those people wouldn't be blaming everyone else if the Zuma ANC and friends had spent the money they've been looting from the country on improving the lives of ordinary South Africans and creating jobs instead of enriching themselves and destroying the country's infrastructure.

Did you know that more dollars leave the African continent every year than money coming in as debt and aid ?
How do you think that came to be ?

How the US Special Forces and Niger troops got ambushed. A very interesting and detailed map-based animation video.

NB: ambush details start at 7:00 min.

Hope it hasn't been shared before.

Not about it not flying. About such a non sanitary environment. Its an aircraft, not a high school project. If it was a drone, then sure....have 50 kids in and around parts, manuals and drawings. The whole of Cessna's engineers are also in aviation....but Cessnas still crash, sometimes over the smallest component. Anyways.

Update to this.

Direct hit to the Mbombe 6x6 tore into it's armour.

https://twitter.com/FebruaryChannel/status/1132232706211885056?s=20[/quote]This is terrorist propaganda. The Mbombe 6x6 has double armour, they never made it to the second Armour where the crew was seated, otherwise the vehicle would be smoking from within, which is clearly not the case here. BTW, who takes a vehicle to the battlefield after 3 days of being delivered, no training, no doctrine to effectively use the vehicle. They just saw a vehicle with wheels and they thought "Allah will protect us" and took it to war.

You don't drive an IFV/APC to war like that.. Foot soldiers should be protecting the heavy equipment, they form a long line, they move forward, the IFVs come behind providing overall field view and heavy fire support. An RPG is likely to be fired at 400m (and miss) then use smoke to conceal the vehicles while rifleman, platoon snipers and mortar teams assault the enemy position until those guys with RPGs are eliminated then move forward again.... But I guess no one goes to battle school in Libya.

Whats with the obsession with Agusta, AW109,139 --- At this rate we should force them to bring an assembly plant to Africa


Notice the numbers on the side window and also the serial numbers at the tail, they are not far apart

The moment we lost an Oryx during recent drills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiVKhbWtxyc

Downside: Oryx is kill
Upside: Guys remembered their training, disembarked, assisted the wounded and still tried to take up defensive positions - even though it was just training

Hmmmmmm.......

What false claim have i ever made?

frumentius:
Why should SF accompany him to Uganda? Here's how it works:
1) minimal risk - normal Presidential Protection Unit team;
2) medium risk - PPU team + PPU Counter-Assault Team;
3) high risk - PPU team + PPU CAT + SF.

By any measure Uganda is minimal risk.

DAFUQ?

Ugandans have lobola?

False report and I think the media reports are now being corrected, uncles from the groom's family would carry this responsibility. As far as SF, I doubt this would be justifiable. At most STF, but even that would IMO be overkill in this instance. Uganda is relatively low risk, but again IMO

Not hating, but NAF MI-35M helicopters feature way more advanced systems on board. Rooivalk mission computers are old.

Plus a much wider variety of munitions to pick from. MI-35m cockpit pictured below.

If we are looking at an advanced attack helicopter for the army, the T-129 from Turkey is our best option.
