andrewza: you said your arty would shoot a valour with HEAT rounds, there is no HEAT rounds for ARTY why would you want a HEAT round for ARTY in any case. yes you could make one but why? What would a highly focused blasted achieve for a ARTY battry.

Msauza: @AgaugustI think the under-mentioned will be a lot explanatory with the estimated set dates from 2014/2015;

"The ARMC agreement, between South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria and Kenya, "binds South Africa to build at least one of the three low-Earth-orbiting satellite in the constellation", said Imraan Saloojee, director of Earth observation at the Department of Science and Technology."

In other words, the aspirant giants wish for SA to build one of three required satellites, while they themselves share the responsibility of building the remaining two with two other countries at least.

Even the Nigerian government knows the truth. It has full appreciation of its , shall we say, ...shortcomings

andrewza: And launching a rocket 120km will not be picked up by just about every one in the region. Not to menstion how do you deploy a ballon from a rocket. No we all know that is just another fact you sucked out of your thumb. Only fools will beilve you.

CraigB: "The cost of ZA-ARMC1, including ground stations and other infrastructure, would be R450m — R100m of which the Treasury had already made available, Mr Saloojee said, adding that "there are processes in Treasury and the (department) for more money to be made available"."

Which should take care of the unfortunate argument that the very meagre R400m won't be available.

saengine: Google "R400 million South African satellite". I want you to post the source .

if you dont post the source of that south african new satellite that you claim will be ready before 2017 and that the money for it R400 million is available, then your were born king among a forest kingdom of genetic F00LS

CraigB: Of course it is. The country that weighs heavily in the minds of all aspirant giants.

Augustine Again: yes, actually south africa is the usual yardstick here for measuring standards from the low bottom rank where she is

Augustine Again: yes, actually south africa is the usual yardstick here for measuring standards

saengine: Another lie. The new satellite has a R400 million budget. And target date is before 2017.

CraigB: And that, ladies and gentlemen, says it all. Anyone who has anything to sell to the world will go out and sell it. And anything worth selling will not be hidden behind some supposed veil of secrecy.

The arms industry is a business first and foremost. Actually warring is secondary. Trade comes first. And baby nations consume and buy weapons en masse because they don't understand this. Specs hidden away means one of two things. A) There are no specs B) the specs aren't good enough to sell to anyone.

all the noise, advertising, and global marketing of south african Rooivalk helicopter gunship has not sold one single export unit in 20 years !

CraigB: I love how South Africa is the yardstick featuring everywhere. It reveals far more than people are willing to admit. Seems the question is: Are we really better than South Africa though? - The theme of Naai-raland.
But once again, I like it.

Msauza: In that case if we do not get to see them on internet, we will gladly assume that such weaponry do not exist until we see a proof. I guess it will be very unfair of us in any debate if we start claiming of weapons that do not exist in South Africa.

By the way do you know that SA has two aircraft carriers that have been kept secretly away from the media? If you use internet to proof this you will only be a fool.

"easy typing but difficult to provide a proof"

saengine: Another lie. The new satellite has a R400 million budget. And target date is before 2017.

saengine: The reason he cant give you proof of Nigeria using a 120km range rocket to launch the balloon is simply because he made that information up, simple as that. He literally sat there and told a lie. You don't need a rocket to get that high up into the atmosphere. Look at the guy who jumped from space last year,he never used a rocket to get there. He also can't justify rockets being used because he doesn't know the size and weight of the payload.

Donian007: Look youngman that info about the rocket launch is CLASSIFIED.

zaandrew: it means they have chosen a side why would china choose nigeria over SA

zaandrew: posted a link then showing a arty heat round or any 155mm heat round.

zaandrew: china selling you long range anti ship missiles during a sa blockade is them intervening

zaandrew: But for indirect fire. you do know a tank and artillery are different.

zaandrew: that is not according to NN and NAF wish list, so please.

zaandrew: how is the hind better remember there are people in SA who have flown both aircraft.
You failed to achieve that goal and sa has way more than 8 gripens. Their ability are not known all we know is that they are OPVs. SAN has no need for anything along that role.

zaandrew: SAN has no need for anything along that role.

kwame tut: SA construction firms/Architects/Engineers etc.. could play a role in India, new consul general avers/construction boom. WE HAVE THE BEST IN THE WORLD IN THE CONSTRUTION FIELD.

zaandrew: no you a fool who does not know when he has lost

zaandrew: you the one that is claiming that nigeria has achieved a major leap in tech, 120km high i bloody high so show your proof or is this like your t-craft truth aka a lie

zaandrew: show proof they built a 120km range rocket.

zaandrew: in a number of areas egypt is a lot better but they do get 5 billion dollars worth of military aid from the USA. Nonetheless they are no threat since they need to worry about israel

what does ethyipa or algeria have on us that is of concern

zaandrew: show proof of all of that, what 120km range rocket no but only a few countries use high tech arty rounds and even less make them.
