Just because you haven't witnessed it does not mean that Africa does not help itself, there are many who individuals and in societies provide charity. The main problem in South Africa is that it is still suffering from the after shocks of apartheid where its Black citizens were herded into concentration camps, forcefully disposed of their land, raped, murdered,... Which makes them susceptible to AIDS and other poverty induced problems. The time cannot come fast enough when land is appropriated from the white land owing class and redistributed to back to its ancestral Black owners

bantudra:
back to topic...i dont have time for rubbish...go argue with blacks that cares what any white says....

i surely dont.....

Obostone:
my brother pls excuse me but u are holucinating. In Africa it prosper or death we can make it pls. Do u know the amount of talent we have that are being employed for bad stuff and by the way u make Ngo's sound like GOD, what natural resource and human resource do their country of origion posses that we do not have. It about priority. We have people with barin and talent but have no power and the people with powers have no idea about how to run this field- PLO Lamumber. Two things a nation has to be disctatoral about is in the area of food production and medicine. No foriegner should be involed if we want to continue killing our self let leave it to others, it a perfect military strategy foriegners can use to low key control a population simple.

Tinfoil:
Most NGOs would rather have Africa poor and uneducated because if not they would go out of business, rather than build capacity, enabling Africans to help themselves they actively conspire to have them remain poor even though this is mostly unintentional. I can give an in-depth explanation of what I am thinking but don't want to type a multiple page long post. This is a photo and video forum only.

Tinfoil:
Ban all NGOs, their handouts kill self-sufficiency.

I'm glad this whole thing was a propaganda fail. African militaries need to understand that propaganda has a 50% input in the war victory itself.

Releasing statements on paper like the Soviets no longer cut it. This isn't 1970. Even the Russians no longer do that crap, they are now pushing as much military propaganda as the Europeans. Not yet on the level of the Americans though, those guys are playing in a much higher league of their own.

There's a KDF soldier with a giant digital camera, what's he doing with it? Photos should be released atleast on a weekly basis and after engagements with the enemy.

There is a first time for everything. These murderers are already established in North, West, East and Central Africa and are gradually pushing Southwards!! Hoping they go away or fighting them on the cheap is not an option. If the AU cant see or smell the imminent danger of having these a..holes overrunning the continent at this rate, then they (AU) should be disbanded and their responsibilities handed over to to the UN or even better still, to Mr Trump. This is a clear and present danger they cant ignore. Most African countries are too vulnerable to allow these murderous extremists dig-in or fester on for much longer without the AU trying at the very least to rally everybody to the fight. A word they say is enough for the wise.

bendeniceguy:
Goverments all across Africa must realise that these animals are in this for the long hurl and quit pretending that groups like al shabaab an boko haram will go away by themselves!!! These animals view Africa as easy prey and wont give up until they are overwhelmed by superior force. Methinks the AU should pass a law making it compulsory for African countries to spend atleast 5percent of their GDPs on re-arming and re-equiping their militaries to defend the continent against these wild animals. This is not "gloating" This is REAL. We must quit hoping to fight murderous religious extremist on the cheap

Pulling out was a rather stupid decision. Yes the delays at Airbus resulted in a cost escalation, but compare that with what we've been paying since then to charter heavy lift. And of course, it didn't help that someone at MoD confused the life-cycle price with the sale price, and the resulting public outrage was simply too much.
Indonesia is paying $2 billion for 5 planes whilst we were going to pay $2.5 billion for 8!
At least Denel Aerostructures and the rest of our aeronautical industry are still working on the A400M and earning from it. And Airbus hasn't given up trying to sell it to us. That's why they signed an agreement guaranteeing Airbus dynamic components to support any future Rooivalk MK2. So the nonsense that killed prospective Rooivalk sales to Turkey and Australia will not be repeated.

Oldies Algerian national liberation army who fought against french army for Independence (1954- 1962)

africaken254:
Indonesia has ordered 5 A400M aircraft,whats happened to your past future plans to acquire A400M

frumentius:
Not an area they operate in. Villagers in the area had reported armed men coming from the direction of the Ugandan border.

frumentius:
Don't know about now, but when I was there FARDC Hind crews were not armed, unlike our Rooivalk crews. There was some talk of having them come over here for the SAAF SERE course, but I don't know where that got to.

frumentius:
More bad news:
It now appears that a rebel group, suspected to be M23 remnants who absconded from a camp in Uganda, got to one of the downed Hinds before the Rooivalks and captured 4 crew members still alive. And all along the Ugandan military has been denying that these arseholes escaped. They refused to hand them over and now say they can't find Makenga and about 150 of his men.

depending on what SAM or hostile air space , may against manpads, but i dont think a transport helicopter (big radar cross section, slow ) have any chance against a modern air defense systems ( short, medium, long combined network system) , an old shilka or Tunguska , Pantsir for exemple with it's autocannon can hit him easily from short range .

Reading this just reminded me that the mobile EW/COMINT system has not only been installed in CASSPIRS, but also in the Oryx operated by 17 Squadron SAAF.
