ZIMBABWE

- Gunfire near residence of president Robert Mugabe

- Four explosions heard in capital, military vehicles seen on streets

- Soldiers have taken over state broadcaster's building

- US and UK issue warnings to their citizens in the country

And the Mugabe family has been evacuated to an unspecified location. Robert and wifey still in the country.

Covert1:
Your quote is enough evidence u're day dreaming, well not surprising since u actually believe it. Walk into Zimbabwe let's see.

Canceling mention gives no self-confidence nor self-esteem neither will it make your country suddenly able to change the dynamics in Zimbabwe. Shame right on your borders.

Really? How many times have our borders been bleeped up? Rhodesian Bush War? Mozambican civil war? Did you see the Olifants and Ratels roll in? It never happened.

In order for the SA to militarily intervene SADC has to approve. Once approved, other countries like Botswana and Zambia should also contribute BUT I don't think they'll bother at this moment. Botswana wants Mugabe gone so the only action you'll see from their side is massive border enforcement just in case Zim refugees run towards it..... As for South Africa, Zuma/ANC has its eyes in the next month's party elections. Chances are, he won't even be South Africa's president by end of January.

NB: South African parliament won't approve the deployment of the SANDF to protect a dictatorship, the President is only stuck with only 400 soldiers.....

So, let's relax and look forward to Black Friday specials.

Covert1:
The action of the high command is an act of insubordination. No doubt. Clearly the hand writing is on the wall for Mugabe. An end to his purported dynasty through Grace his wife is in sight.

Pretoria lacks the muscle to coerce the Generals. Abuja would be keeping an eye on things down there. A coup would be the nuclear option upending AU statutes. Nigeria may acquiesce with a back room deal with the sworn enemies of the old man to see him go quietly with dignity.

You think you'll talk him out of power? Goodluck (Jonathan) with that.

jakeporeshenko:
Yep, even CGTN is reporting same.
I mean the military convoy could be in the area for another reason but news channels claim they were driving towards Harare.

It's not much for a coup. A handful vehicles don't do a thing.

jakeporeshenko:
Is there going to be a coup in Zim ?

Are those pics coming out of Zim right now?

Hope you guys are ready

Of course, the Zim military is counting on the fact that South African ruling party will be very busy with internal elections next month to even notice Jupiter colliding with the moon.

Cessna C208 Caravan - in tactical reconnaissance configuration

11 were upgraded to this standard under Project Koilier

They are fitted with the Argos 410-Z stabilised airborne observation system
- "latest" generation thermal imager (in 2008)
- a 3-CCD daylight TV camera with powerful zoom lens
- eye-safe laser rangefinder
- autotracker
- Mission Awareness Positioning System (MAPS). The MAPS function provides the operator with GPS coordinates of "objects of interest" by means of a high accuracy integrated inertial measurement unit.

Built to military specifications, the thermal imager offers four fields of view and advanced image processing features, including edge enhancement, local adaptive dynamic compression and electronic zoom. The Caravan is equipped with a removable onboard operator station which is data linked to a ground station, providing the joint operations centre with a real-time imagery.

An excellent project from back when the SANDF had waaaaaay more money and slightly more common sense.

I personally didn't know the SAAF had such capabilities, the budget cuts are a b#tch

NB to Frumentius: this is one of the uses for the SARA

Look at this clown, imploring fleeing Daesh to come fight in the DRC . I guess no one told him that his ADF comrades work with the Al-Qaeda branch of Al-Shabaab and reject the so-called Caliphate.

The desire to lay a 100 virgins in the afterlife knows no boundaries. These dudes will fight till the moon as long as they're still Hot.

This particular guy dropped by to get the tropical infection of large worms, he'll need it and who knows he might steal other jihadists woman of the after life with his new found oversized infection.

Its fvcking November.... there should be no snow.

That's the weirdest part.

Hrmnn:
Is there a specific incident you are referring to? I must confess I'm not aware of any G5 that was knocked out of action as a result of a barrel failure during Moduler, Hooper, or Packer.

Apparently the was a G5 that had a faulty shell that killed loaders days after arriving in south Angola. I can't find the link now but I remember reading about it and it wasn't on the Russian propaganda website (we know how they tend to tell propaganda about the whole battle).

If I find a link at any given time, I'll post it up.

Hrmnn:
.

There's even a G5/G6 barrel in there that malfunctioned upon firing. I have no idea what the circumstances were behind that incident but I bet there was groot kak for everybody involved.

You could imagine the fear of the surviving crew of the other G5s in the formation (during the Battle of Cuito), having to continue loading shells for days with little break. For every shell you load could be your last.

Off topic

Just checked with my SA weather service, we could get snow on Tuesday... Yeeeeeeeeah!!

Some people need to consult with this guy to help them taste the breast of a woman.

Odunayaw:
Got this picture from a page from Facebook. Can any saffer explain?

I'm not too sure. It's possible that they were testing that artillery (I'm assuming it's the Israeli made G4) on the SAMIL chassis. Reasons could have been they wanted to have a highly mobile artillery platform in southern Angola to sneak it into position, drop shells and get away so quick. This was very important because before the G5/G6, the Angolans/Cubans had better supplied artillery pieces from the Soviets which totally smoked whatever South Africa was using at that time.

That was possibly a prototype that was shelved for the much more powerful G6.

SupremeCourt:
American Boeing company built 95% of AHRLAC aircraft for South Africa. End of story.

Bros, you and your people una be ogbologbo robbers.

The AHRLAC is 95% Boeing as much as you're an American military researcher.

It's Saturday, go out and meet some girls maybe after you lie about the size of your canon you could possibly get laid.

In the meantime let's get back to the topic of posting pics.

Please ignore that guy. Please

Call him into order, it's that simple.

SupremeCourt:
You think like a baby. Why would defence items be sold in local civilian radio shop? There are thousands of spare part manufacturers in European defence industry that can supply parts. Signal reciever is in the EU ot USA open market.

Most South African made defence products are loaded with imported made in Europe component parts, but you guys hide those facts and push stories to us as if you make everything. Your Rooivalk is loaded with mostly French parts from engine to whatever. The passive radar you are building, go deep into it and you will find one European technical partner giving South Africa high tech help to do it. Like Your ARHLAC aircraft is mostly built by Boeing company of USA selling high tech parts and teaching South Africa how to build. Yet you guys noise about all these things as if you do it 100%.

Half truth is equal to half lie.

So what's your problem?


We made the Rooivalk under crippling UN sanctions, in fact the UN had to later pass another resolution banning the export of weapons from South Africa because we had turned the situation around... Yes we make plenty of unapologetic noise for it because how many countries have the ability to develop weapons and scare the world while being sanctioned? Your airforce decayed into oblivion and you haven't recovered from a simple weapons embargo.


Our systems have some components from other countries, who doesn't?.... The question is how many countries are able to produce world-class weapon systems using those already available components? Definitely not Nigeria.. What have you produced in your latest military spending spree? An APC? Really? Only an APC that uses commercial tryes... We produced missiles, long range rockets and nukes when we were under threat, we are developing passive radars, 5th generation missiles, etc while we're at peace and then you come talk your rubbish here.

Grow up Augustine or simply crawl back to the cave you came from.

I know you won't miss this, would your dick fall off if you didn't ignore ehnn. why bro ?

Why ignore a self proclaimed US-based military researcher? The temptation to whip his ass is rather too much.

SupremeCourt:
Passive PESA is the easiest type of radar to build. Even Korea and India, etc have gone beyond PESA, they are busy with AESA radar. China has moved ahead of AESA to build QUANTUM radar.

Good, out of 200 countries in the world only less than a dozen have a functional passive radar... A cold beer and biltong for the CSIR, it's a job well done.

SupremeCourt:
Its the easiest to build, does not mean its easy to build. It means among all radars its the easiest radar to build. People from your part of Africa have a thinking problem and bark like a bingo over simple observations people make online.

"Its the easiest to build, does not mean its easy to build"... We know your life is kinda confusing as a 40-year-old virgin, but try thinking straight it might help you.

The downside with this manoeuvre is that the Leo can't come up the hill (or go down) again until friendlies clear the whole valley because on its second appearance it will be smoked.


Noticed how soldiers were in open trenches, no artillery or mortar or snipers from the opponents?

STRICTLY OFF TOPIC:
Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo is set to unveil the statue of another African president, weeks after a national outrage over the unveiling of a multi-million naira statue of President Jacob Zuma of South Africa. Newsmen in Owerri report that Okorocha’s latest statue, a monument of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, is scheduled to be unveiled on Nov. 9.
Kim Jon Un is scheduled for Nov. 31 and Robert Mugabe Dec. 20....

Any space left for Idi Amin? Leaving him behind would be a dishonour, he needs a slot in the Dictatorship Avenue.

activatekruger is not white but black African, probably collaborated with the apartheid regime

I'm black? I'm a white supremist who painted himself black so he could inject Giant Africans with big worms so they don't suffer from self-esteem issues.

The unforseen side effects with my biological African experiment is that a good number of citizens now suffer from low military IQ, commonsense and basic tactics are hard to comprehend.
