Nigerian Air Force MI-35m

Got confused by the Cammo pattern.

I don't know if you have camouflage pattern consistency in your airforce but with the SAAF aircrafts (same make and model) are always painted identical to the nail which wasn't the case with the Russian Hind and the NAF Hinds.

Henry240:
If you see nothing distasteful in your comment, then i really have nothing further to say.

Let me reiterate, it is not a favour. It is a service paid for, there is absolutely nothing to be thankful to anybody about.

Let me add, the South-African government had nothing to do with anything.

The SA government might have something or nothing to do with the training BUT your response is something else. It's bordering on your usual "hate everything south" stance. If you didn't have anything to say you should have ignored and moved on.

Egg-beaters do this all the time, apparently. These guys have learned the hard way that in the 21st century, everything is recorded.

In the DRC now, platoons going on patrol have to check that no-one takes along a mobile . Never mind that we Saffers are the only ones enforcing the policy. The Malawians and Tanzos happily snap and record away and have started charging our guys for footage in which they feature .

I wonder who came up with this silly policy. Think about it, the Border War had thousands of pictures taken and it was in the 80s. Lesotho was hardly documented, Bangui has no pictures and now the DRC. Honestly, this would have been huge PR for the military. If they don't allow you to bring cameras then they should allow a dedicated platoon photographer to document your patrols and battles.

frumentius:
We'll probably have to go in and rescue their PM, again.
I usually refrain from politricks here, but I wish we could do a Putin and annex Lesotho and Swaziland. They're entirely dependent on us, have proved themselves woefully incapable of self-government and caused us no end of headaches.

I would go for southern Mozambique, Mpumalanga needs a beach front

Lesotho is cooking up a political storm... Frumentius get yourself ready, you could go in.

This is possibly a Nigerian Super Hind in South Africa, don't mind the flag.

unconfirmed report say Egypt is about to acquire 400 to 500 T90MS tanks, some of which will be assemble in Egypt

For what? Don't they already have a gazillion tanks?

MikeCZA:
Nope. The pilot decided to fly that low.
Why? ADRENALINE RUSH!!!!

Although he might face a disciplinary hearing but he's good, damn he is.

frumentius:
The guys were training in Bloem and the crew's big balls so weighed down the chopper it was flying barely off the ground. The video was shared within the squadron until it got outside and posted online. It's been all over the interwebs and Higher has come down hard. So now the media policy is being strictly enforced.

I reckon I can get away with this from our base in Sake cos I didn't take it !

So we can kiss the GoPro camera we talked about goodbye?

Probably the most insane Rooivalk video ever!! Yanks have been calling it fake/photoshoped since it went viral!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gPVLhNA90w

Good God, that's bloody scary.. Why would someone want to fly so low.? Is it tactical?

jln115:
Trained with!!

I thought I included "with" on my statement. It must the coldness

frumentius:
Did that, went up to DRC for a while and back now. And seeing what's just happened to everyone involved with the recent Rooivalk video, no pics from the operational area !

There I was thinking your data bundles were done for, Telkom Mobile just killed their mobile uncapped .... so what video Rooivalk video are you referring to?

frumentius:
For 61Mech, somewhere in Angola.

The last days of the Bush War before it got out of hand.

Frums, what up..... Last we chat you're testing CSIR intercoms in the Eastern Cape.

Frums... Did you mention that the Deltas trained the the STF?

rumoured to be tunisian first UH-60M BlackHawk helicopter

The colour scheme says it is.

well, morocco have this days a starting revolution in the east Rif region with ten thousands who protest daily , their king can try to divert attention by trying to play with algeria , He always use this trick in the diplomatic side the big bad wolf of algeria daily in their news paper , maybe he will try a small military attack then quickly go cry to france et NATO , So this kind of exercise is also a message to Morocco to not try the devil and that algeria will respond imediatly before france and NATO come to help

and for military you are lucky to have a region with no super powers in front of you , when you see geopolitics of north africa its normal to spend more for its security

That's why South Africa was unsettled by the presence of Soviets in the region during the Cold War. It's been a quite region ever since.

As for you, you'll go down with Europe in case of a larger regional war.

nemesis2u:
IMO buying a rocket propelled ejection system out of ur house would be a much better idea

becz ur military grade garage door will attract lots of military grade explosives/ forceful breaching tactics which might take u and half of ur house out

Then I'll have a bigger claim to lay on the state

Xbee007:
Very dumb stereotype. We are better than that.

Answering something that wasn't directed to you is a scream for attention that I wouldn't give you.

thanks

You'll be getting plenty of "Your Dead Uncle in the UK Left You Millions of Dollars in Inheritance" emails

one of the scenario used the most in exercises is an attack from an armored division with air support from borders ( like a moroccan attack for exemple )

, a conventional war , so first step of the exercise is to stop the ennemy in the defensif lines in borders ( pics you r talking about) ,
wait for reinforcements , destroy the attack then launch a large scale counter attack go and destroy ennemy in deep of his territory

Morroco would be nuts to attack you. You should now stop buying equipment, I think you now have more than enough. Same goes for Egypt

CCTV Footage of SAPS STF raid conducted on a Drug Kingpins den at the end of last month

I'm officially buying a military grade garage door

If standard procedures were followed, they weren't entirely free of charge.

The Ugandan government would still have to pay all shipping costs, plus the cost of refurbishing the vehicles until they reach a standard that they can be approved for export.

Depending on the terms of the agreement, Uganda may have also been asked to pay for any additional inventories of parts they'll need to keep the SAMILs running.

It's common for the SANDF to donate large numbers of vehicles to another country, which must then cough up additional funds for the associated logistics, transport, and refurbishment. A third party contractor like OTT Technologies, Mechanology, or Paramount Group is then brought in to handle all of that, and profits accordingly.

For example when the SANDF committed to donate 90 SAMILs and Ratel-90s to the CAR, they were never shipped because the latter had happily agreed to the "donation" without taking into account they would have to foot the bill for dozens of cargo flights into Bangui, the refurbishing of the vehicles to meet certain export standards, and all the associated parts and 90mm ammunition, which were not being provided and would have to be bought separately.

Naturally the CAR had insufficient funds for all of the above, so the vehicles were sitting on an airstrip somewhere and were finally claimed by the third party contractor as compensation for their troubles.

Oh well, well stated. So with all the excess equipment they keep throwing around, do you think they'll have excess R5s for donations? I have a few cats that always trigger my alarm that I'll like to deal with

anti tank guided missile Algerian army

I have noted that most Algerian pictures depict land forces on defensive mode. They'll be firing behind erected cover (mostly). Do you guys run on a "dig-up and defend" doctrine?

We sold 354 Ratels for just R1 million? Who's responsible for these auctions... How do they sell so many Ratels for a quarter price of just 1 MRAP. This is ridiculous.

WTF? We donated 450 Samil Trucks to Uganda? This is wrong, very wrong.

Eland armoured car being rebuilt for an unidentified West African nation, most likely Benin or Burkina Faso.

I believe in this case the rebuild team was contracted from Emerging World Technologies, better known as Mechanology.

Where are these Elands sourced from, I thought we no longer had any.

Henry240:
I could not care less. Do you see me respond to posts from your country?

You don't exist.

We don't expect you to answer because 99.9% you'd be tossing and turning in butt-hurt. We're like that kid that always had nice things you envied at primary school.

horlams:
So it's no longer about misinformation, it's now d1ck measuring. Oh, it has been d1ck measuring all along, smh. Continue

Henry's misinformation is based on the old cock measuring butt-hurt of the Nollywood witchmother. His imaginary assembly plant is nothing more than "look, we are making aircrafts" even though it doesn't exist.

Henry240:
I actually enjoy your pain. It drives me.

We have engineers that make missiles, helicopters, advanced IFVs, ships and all. I can't imagine how painful that can be

Henry240:
More photos of the N219 aircraft. The plane we might soon start assembling in Nigeria.

Let's not do this again.

The Hybrid Rooikat

This particular Rooikat has one huge battery that can powerup a small suburb for the whole night. On stealth mode it switches off its diesel engine and moves quietly to assault its target or pass undetected. One of its kind.

That's almost 28tons of weight moved by an electric battery. That's rather impressive.
