SA ARMS EXPORTS CLOSE TO R3BILLION


South Africa's arms exports remained stagnant with R2.98 billion in exports authorised in 2014 compared to R3.2 billion the year before and R10.6 billion in 2012, according to the latest National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) report.Although the report lists the grand total of exports as R880 million, when the individual exports are added up they reach R2.9 billion. However, the grand total for imports is listed as R200 million and when the individual items are added up they also equal R200 million.

[b]NCACC chair Jeff Radebe delivered the 2014 report to Parliament this week, which covers arms exports and imports from January to December. It revealed that South Africa's defence industry exported 326 armoured vehicles (mainly armoured personnel carriers) to nearly two dozen countries last year, as well as four mine detection vehicles to Iraq. The biggest buyers were Burkina Faso (31 vehicles), Guinea (32 vehicles), Niger (21 vehicles), Saudi Arabia (100 vehicles), Senegal (39 vehicles) and the United Arab Emirates (26). These vehicles sales amounted to more than R810 million.Other weapons exports included seven cannons to Indonesia (R7.5 million); 11 turrets to Malaysia (R235 million); four artillery systems to Saudi Arabia (R30 million), six gun/howitzers to the United Arab Emirates (R229 million); four missiles to Germany (R12 million) and five anti-material rifles to Azerbaijan (R2.2 million). The turrets are being supplied to Malaysia by Denel Land Systems for their new infantry combat vehicles. It is most likely that the Middle Eastern artillery orders involve G5/G6 artillery, also from Denel.

The NCACC report stated that 226 40 mm weapons were supplied to Egypt, Estonia, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Pakistan and Indonesia. The latter also bought nine anti-material rifles and one 20 mm cannon. Turkmenistan acquired 60 sniper rifles while the United Arab Emirates bought 201 40 mm weapons and 135 60 mm mortars.Only 212 machineguns were sold in 2014, to Indonesia, Jordan and Oman. Malaysia bought 30 minefield breaching systems while the Netherlands bought 37 000 mortar bombs worth R214 million. Another large mortar contract came from the United Arab Emirates, which acquired 63 370 mortar rounds worth R232 million.

A dozen countries bought small arms ammunition from South Africa, ranging between 300 and 13 000 rounds, although the United Kingdom bought 55 260 rounds of ammunition worth R44 million.Other exports listed include self defence suites and electronic warfare equipment worth more than R40 million (most likely supplied by Saab), transponders, radio equipment, 'transceivers', laser rangefinders, sights, a submarine periscope, binoculars, 'airborne observation systems' worth tens of millions of rands, and software.[/b]

Unlike in the previous report, the type/model of equipment was not disclosed. "I am concerned that the NCACC's 'enhanced reports' are now being rolled back and less information is being provided, which appears to be aimed at hiding the names of the companies involved in the export of conventional arms from South Africa," opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) party shadow defence minister David Maynier said following the publication of the report.

So much weapons we see, yet South African army too afraid to reorganize and return to Bangui and save their fellow African brothers dying in the claws of Seleka rebels.

The more weapons DENEL produces, the more useless SANDF becomes. In what hot combat zone has SANDF ever deployed alone with 5,000 troops and fight bitter battle for one year to save helpless fellow African people?

You arms production and export is useless to Africa's progess as a continent. Useless ANC republic

Boko Haram: Thumbs up for Nigerian military

on March 06, 2015
[/size]

NIGERIAN military has accumulated years of successful war campaigns both within and outside the shores of our country.They prevailed in the Nigerian three years civil war against Biafra from 1966 to 1970, and kept Nigeria one.

They have carried out successful campaigns in peace keeping in Africa and West Africa, including the containment of internal skirmishes in Niger-Delta, Abia and Benue States ensuring that peace returned to these places, until terrorism entered Nigeria and by 2009 and a major issue called Boko Haram.

Our military was not exempted from the embarrassment of combating a group that operated with the combined tactics of guerilla warfare and that of terrorists operating within civilian human shields. Their woes became multiplied with the existence of moles, saboteurs within their fold, while our so called foreign allies did not help matters.

When Boko Haram started attacking the city of Maiduguri and areas around Borno State two years ago, America showed up with their mesmerizing bravado. Their displays on the streets of Maiduguri was encouraging to many of us, but they soon fizzled out for reasons best known to them but not without inflicting damaging blows on the psyche of our military. They heaped all sorts of bad smear on our military, to such an extent that many Nigerians almost bought their lie that we had a disjointed, poorly equipped, uncoordinated, military with low morale.

A few in the army bought the garbage, and their confidence nose dived. Nigeria’s political class and leaders, who were plotting to cash in on the failures and challenges of the military added salt to the injury. Rather than support the government, they went about and shouted loudest, in a strange jubilation, carrying the woes of our situation to same America, who then took their time to deal the hardest blows to the war efforts.

America in response, treated our government with their utmost disrespect. Senator McCain who lost to Obama during their last presidential election made very derogatory comments about the President and Commander -in – Chief of Nigerian Armed Forces, referring to our President as ” some guy called Jonathan”.

Why did our own sons go to a looser , who his people rejected as president, to get a comment? Why did our leaders choose to laugh at the ondoing of their own home government? The answers are not far fetched.Greed and inordinate desire to get power at the centre, blinded them to forget an African proverb that says ‘it is an unwise man who laughs,when a joke is made about his mother’s buttockx’.

Any insult to our President and Commander -in -Chief is an insult to all Nigerians, and it becomes more painfully vexatious when it comes from our so called allies.

America refused to sell the weapons and military hardware we needed, blocked Europe, South Africa, and Israel from selling arms to Nigeria, and turns back to suggest how we should run our elections time table! I do not blame America, I blame the Nigerians who run overseas to mess up their nation in the name of politics. They politicize every thing applicable to life in Nigeria.

Our badly frenzied opposition party have again, recently ran to London, to hold talks about our elections. They run overseas to buy houses, go there for their medicals,train their wards there, because they failed to make Nigeria a good place like the Europeans did for themselves. And shamelessly they now want our presidential candidates to go to Europe to hold debates! How many of those listeners in Europe have PVCs to vote, and of what value to Nigerian economy will such a debate in London confer? Why don’t they learn how their allies play opposition politics?

Senator McCain congratulated Obama when he was defeated in their last presidential election, but when Buhari lost in the last election, he called a press conference where he wept bitterly and thereafter vowed never to contest again. He has just met his rich friends from the South West, and they reminded him to try and go back to pick what he forgot from Dodan Barracks now Aso Rock, thirty tears ago! Now they are shouting Change. You refused to debate in Nigeria and want to debate in London, a good sign of the change indeed.

In any case, in spite of American and European double standards in the support of Nigeria against insurgency, Nigeria has managed to acquire the necessary arms, international cooperation with our neighbours, Chad, Niger and Cameroons, with French support, to change the tide of victory in favour of Nigeria, in the war.

Our gallant military, in well-coordinated efforts regained over 70 percent of Nigerian territories from the insurgents, who still control parts of Borno State, along the mountainous Cameroonian border, areas of Sambisa Forest and parts of southern Yobe state.

In effect, it is a matter of days and the insurgents will be completely flushed out of our land without a “Caliphate”

Boko Haram is likely to resort to terrorism, with suicide bombings, etc, in the months to come. Our Military has continued to protect and preserve the unity of this country and making it stable for prosperity, and defending the country’s territorial integrity from insurgency and external aggression, providing aid to civil authority.

Last week, thousands of people marched in Cameroon’s capital Yaounde protest against Nigeria’s Boko Haram insurgency and support their nation’s army, which is fighting alongside its neighbours in the region to defeat Boko Haram. Organizers said the march was aimed at informing the public, especially in the southern part of Cameroon, about the threat posed by Boko Haram, which has carried out regular cross-border raids in the far north, to tell Cameroonians that they are at war and a part of the country is suffering, and also to discourage Cameroonian youths from joining Boko Haram. I hope Nigeria will learn, leave divisive politics in time of war, and plan protests to encourage peace and youth awareness against Boko Haram, than to protest against the government and our military.

We remain grateful and indebted to our tried, tested and trusted military. We stand by them in prayers any day any time.

Your recycled mercenary story is a fat lie, it blew it.self into pieces by saying South African, American, French, and British forces are all inside Nigeria....Nigerian army does not train with France and American training was cancelled in 2014 many months ago.

Ex-SA soldiers 'playing major role in fight against Boko Haram


[b]Cape Town – Former South African Defence Force soldiers are reportedly playing a major role in the fight against Boko Haram extremists in Nigeria after they were hired by the west African country.

According to the Institute for Security Studies(ISS) several ex-South African Air Force (SAAF) pilots were also participating in the war against the Islamist insurgents.The report said the South African team together with other military experts from Britain, United States and France had contributed significantly to the recent successes of the Lake Chad Basin Commission forces against Boko Haram.

"The former SADF members are definitely playing a major role in this offensive. They have been in country for a significant time already, involved in training some specialised NDF [Nigerian Defence Forces] units," a former military intelligence was quoted as saying.

Beeld reported in January that the former SA soldiers were to form the core of a multinational team of private military experts to fight Boko Haram.The report, at the time, said that the 100-strong team had been tasked with training the Nigerian military in a massive campaign against the terrorist organisation.

This came after a Nigerian presidential security adviser stated that Nigeria's campaign against Boko Haram was being hampered by "cowards" within the armed forces, signalling dissatisfaction with how the military is handling the situation.  But Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakuladismissed the so called former SADF soldiers as mercenaries and said that they should be arrested when they return home.

"The police have a responsibility to ensure that, when they come back, those people are arrested and the [National Prosecutions Authority] has a responsibility to charge them. There are consequences for going out of the country and provide any form of military assistance as a mercenary, not as part of the deployment by government," Mapisa-Ngqakula was quoted as saying.

Abuja has reportedly insisted that the deal had been cleared with President Jacob Zuma – and the ex-SADF soldiers now in Nigeria have likewise also insisted that their involvement was cleared at the highest echelons of the South African government, even if the defence minister did not know about it.

I never got into this discussion before. Just find it interesting that more details seem to be coming out.

[size=13pt]More details? Rubbish. Still a recycle of the same story from one private man Mr.Bleeds who has no proof of his mercenary story.

Anybody with a news web page online can write any fake story he likes.

Ugandan news papers published story that Ugandan army has mobilized full battalion ready to help Nigeria to be deployed in combat against Boko Haram in February, now this is March and no Ugandan army has moved one inch.

Show us photos of SANDF mercenaries in Nigeria because both SANDF and Nigerian DHQ denied it.

Your source says the SA is training NDF Nigerian Defence Forces and that name does NOT exist in Nigeria, what you call more details is actually more errors....NDF does not exist in Nigeria, i think your mercenaries are missing somewhere lost inside Mandela's Kruger Park chasing Rhino Poachers

The total contract to the consortium is R 8.3 billion. An initial R 1.048 billion order was placed in 2007 to develop a prototype of each variant, followed by 12 pre-production vehicles. During the manufacturing phase, the first 37 production vehicles will be built by Patria in Finland, then the other 227 will be produced in South Africa.

No SIPRI says the deal for the aquisition of 236 has been confirmed and paid for - not that it is conpleted

It says deliveries start in 2015 (this year) and end in 2022 (cant remeber exact date)

and the use of "including 222" is actually present continous and not past tense - which you would know if you had an education

So the entire basis of you argument is flawed

If you are delusional enough to argue with SIPRI then that is your problem not mine, Badger aquisition is now indisputable

Nope, dummy !

SIPRI did not say you paid for all Badger IFVs, SIPRI only quoted paper value of contract, and they do it for all arms sales that have paper value published. SIPRI is not a financial monitor, they are arms transfer monitor, they don't know and don't care if you pay for weapons, all they care about is that weapons were transfered.

SIPRI lacks accurate data, they say SANDF has ORDERED 238 Badgers, they did NOT say you paid for 238.

South Africa ordered A400M Airbus from France and NEVER paid in full, only part payment, and still NEVER got a single aircraft, contract was cancelled.

SANDF has ONLY 6 Badger IFVs, when you get one more unit, we will be adding it up to know how much you paid for. Money, not paper document, is what buys you weapons, money, cash, not your empty talkative mouth !

SANDF = 6 Badger IFVs paid for.

That's partly because all the millions of Nigerians who can only read and write local languages like Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Arabic, etc are NOT COUNTED as literate people, we only count English language speakers. In South Africa your government counts 11 official languages meaning English and 10 local language speakers as all literate, that includes millions of village Zulu pig farmers who have never been to school, thanks to P.W. Bother and F. De Klerk, yet those illiterate mo.ronic Zulus are counted as literate because they speak an official language of Zulu tribe.
