Which weapons are grounded?

So you missed the part where South Africa bought 236 brand new world class IFVs? OR 6 new warships? or heavy weight torpedoes? or air-to-air missiles? or 40 000 more soldiers (the size of the army is going to double)?

lol, whatever
4000 not 40 000.

Reading comments coming from south-africans, I wonder if the average man in there is a terrorist sumpathizer. i know that many of them are joigning isis/piss-is-scumabags. Henry sorry for going out of topic, but the level of provocation from the south africans is irritating. It is clear they have some sort of affection for boko haram.
There is no proof that any south African joined ISIS. The one supposed pic is a selfy (normally it is taken by some one else) and the guy and his gear is free clean.

Regardless a south African General Roland de Vries said that the bravest man he ever met was a SWAPO terrorist he had a hand in killing. A terrorist that if it where not for the fact his AK 47 jammed would of killed him. Just because Roland respect his enemy did not many he did not strive to kill them. Far from it, for in the art of war.

If you know not your self or the enemy you will loose every battle
If you know your self but not the enemy. For every victory you will suffer a defeat.
But if you know your self and the enemy. You shall Winn every battle.

To know your enemy you must study him. To try and think like him. You can not do this with out respecting your enemy. Respect is not agree or love.


Definition of respect in English:
A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements:

The Military Industry Corporation is the state-run defense corporation of Sudan. It is responsible for the production of a wide range of defense equipment

NAF Mi-35M Hind E 2014 model, the latest in Russian air force. Get it ?
Actually the verstion Russia uses is the mi24 PN. The mi35m is just a day night export model hind. By the way look up the mi24 PN and see the landing gear used.

The rooivalk airframe is broadly the same has all 1980s western designs. This includes the apachy. They far more modern than the 1960s design of the hind.

SAAF has no A-Darter in service today.

By the time you buy any single A-Darter, NAF JF-17 will have BVR missiles with 100 km range so your unlucky Gripen jet will not even be able to launch any of it's unlucky 22 km range A-Darter missile before it gets shot down by NAF JF-17 Devastating Thunder jets
.
A darter production starts this year and SAAF was given the money in its budget to buy them.

I said the airframe design is obsolete and I stand by it, a 20 year old design is obsolete today. Tell me a Toyota Camry 1995 model is a modern design.

I posted photos of both Rooivalk and modern version of Hind for you to compare, I said look at the tyres/landing gear, but as a life-time member of the 3-blind-mice society of South Africa, you failed to see that the obsolete Rooivalks tyres hang outside permanently like an old horses' dîck, while the modern Hinds tyres are invisible as a retractable landing gear.

You are Grand Patron of the 3-blind-mice society with life-long permanent membership grin grin

Thanks for quoting that United Nations say the Hind is better.

Ukraine flies older generation Hinds , but Nigeria flies new generation 2014 Hind E versions with the most modern and sophisticated Russian avionics
.
Mistake.

Sophisticated Russian avionics. What is that. Is it like a unicorn.

Look you boko haram sympathizer, respect us and respect the living. I will never respect dead terrorists. We will make a mockery of them. It is funny that you who have no respect, you are trying to tell me to respect dead terrorists ! Mind your gioddamn business, if you want call for terrorists to enter your country and rape your children and behead your people and burn your children alife, then after the terrorists are dead, you can show us an example of how to respect the dead. Respect our sensibilities! Respect the living ! Respect children's rights to live unmolested ! I spit on dead boko haram, may they rest in pieces.
Maybe if you respect your enemy you will do better against him.

Dare me for what? Are you blind and illiterate? The ugly and super ugly Rooivalk helicopter design is about 20 years old, the final production design is both ugly and very obsolete by modern standards. Look at the tyres-landing gear, nobody in his right senses will design combat helicopter landing gear like that today.

Nigeria has latest version of Russian Mi-35 Hind E with latest 2014 avionics, not the old ones in your Rooivalk, NAF flies same combat helicopters with Russia`s mighty air force.

Stop fvcking yourself dude, the SAAF Rooivalk wasted too much time on design table and by the time it entered service, the airframe design has become obsolete... compare the Rooivalk and Hind....Ya fvcking Rooivalk design iz fvcking obsoletz nobody`s gonna buy it tongue tongue
Really, The landing gear? Did you put any reshearch in to it at all

How is it better than the Rooivalk?

Despite being a bigger target, having worse performance stats and carrying less munitions
Even the UN thinks the rooivalk is better and Ukraine is plaining on joining the list of countries that want the Hines to be upgraded with south African systems developed for rooivalk.

Oh so they didn't kill him, like ten times already?

Amazing what's revealed in an attempt to "celebrate"
In one of the seseons of a show strike back the good guys are hunting for this terrorist. In the end it revealed he had been dead for years and the organisation had prented he was alive so the good guys would spened resources hunting down a dead man. Aka. Kill shekau will not stop BH, liberating towns and villages will not stop BH and killing every member of BH will not stop BH. Because the underlying reasons BH sprang up have not been looked at.

South African air force lost the air battle in contested airspace, Cuban teenage pilots had TOTAL air superiority over SAAF.

You wanna boast about a jet fighters air war in which SAAF lost to inexperienced teenagers from Cuba who were seeing war for the first time?
I think you should check the combat record. SAAF struggled due to distance but they never lost

no doubt it is drone. But a drone strike?

South africa had the option to buy armed seeker 400s and choose to get unarmed version. We have gripen for strike missions

no,no,you misunderstand me,those stats werent made up,they are facts of current events in the north eastern theatre of war.
recently,someone posted a picture of a convoy of igirigi APCs lining the roads of maiduguri,the APCs numbered in dozens,and they were all brand new.
so that alone corroborates my arguement that the Nigerian defence industry has stepped up its manufacturing capacity to about 15%.

The military doesn't need an AFV in the middle of the city. An MRAP in the city is even over kill.

IFV's, AFV'S, MBT's and MRAPs should be used in operations outside the city, excerpt if there is a substantial threat on the city, the military can then roll out the big guns.

It makes no sense having tanks in Abuja as a deterrent when actual operations are in maiduguri.
They far from over kill. I mean south Africa got the mamba for urbarn operastions but it does rural to. Casspir did ok in cities to.

Honorary post.

My ideal vehicle for urban COIN operations were IED/VBIED aren't so much of a threat. A light, fast, adequately protected, cheap vehicle that can be easily deployed.

Apparently the Egyptian military already agrees with me.

Egyptian Army
To limting for the military. Paramilitary or police are Ok, but military needs to have AFV that can operate in any environment.
