Stargate254:
True but we also have to note that circumstances are different in every war..

In this case it was basically Russia against Nato weaponry in Ukraine... We are talking about a Ukraine that is able to resupply and replenish weaponry every month.
If this was Nato against Ukraine, The US would have detroyed all air defences and air assets of the Ukraine on week one b4 enforcing a no fly zone over Ukraine airspace thereby mainitaining complete air dominace, then they would have put a blockade on Ukraine territory against getting any kind of military help from outside. And within a month Ukraine would have run out of military supplies, and any kind of replenishment within the territory would have been intercepted and destroyed by fighter jets in a moments notice...
If it had happened in Nato sytle fashion like this, the artlicles would be writing a different story and telling us that mordern conventional wars are determined by air superiority and not artlillery or tanks.
This is something people fail to keep understanding, look at us and vietnam war...... What make vietnam win?.... You think it was just that hot-blood or indomitable will; it accounted but not fully..... Soviets then helped them, you could even see soviets pilots and a lot of soviets weaponry which gave america is biggest stain till today. What I mean to say is to counter another big opponent, you need a big one to match him too; if not you will just be bulldozed over like in afghanistan and iran etc. Ukrainie had ran out of supplies and it's money from NATO and EU that is keeping their economy afloat; lets not even talk about weaponry etc which you can see that they have started to send any new weaponry to the frontlines immediately and we keep seeing evidences of their destruction. This alone supports my claim, nato is trying to play the same tactics of vietnam on russia and we will see how it goes;

Okayyy, I assumed it will be as expensive; closing up to half a billion dollars as the previous one.

SNC Senior Vice President Ed Topps was on hand to represent
the company, stating, “SNC is proud to help improve the
security of the Nigerian people through the A-29 Super Tucano
programme. The airplane is performing above expectations,
thanks to the professionalism of NAF pilots and maintainers.
We hope Nigeria can increase operational effectiveness by
adding another squadron of A-29 aircraft as quickly as
possible.”

I'm thinking maybe the STM 2400 light frigate because a delegation from Defence headquarters had discussions with Turkey's STM defence industry on procurement of some equipments.
Who knows we might also get the STM light submarine.

....
I was skeptical about the news, though it says 50 generals and officers by the Russian mod but with the news of recent; inwhich an ukrainian major general told about their losses of equipments inwhich he said about 50%, the Russian mods stats are beginning to look precise rather than propaganda. But anyways, let's keep watching

In as much as we are programmed to peg everything concerning the military to the cool military hardware, let's not forget that in veitnam the US committed almost all it's firepower save for nuclear power and still lost.
Gallantly lost, but won economically though

Your point is what exactly?
Showing you the kinda tests, you like?.... Random shooting on hills and you can't compare Chinese weapons to yours locally built weapon.... Just like saying American reaper drones aren't battle-tested in a environment.... America has already made a name in the defence industry, their name speaks for itself.... But south African, yours have to be battle-proven not random testing like others, that shows it worthiness

also why don't post a photo of your Frigate? wink
I don't see any reason for pirates to be in Mozambique waters compared to South South waters and Atlantic oceans that's is the common route for oil carriers and other goods. Like I said we are developing our navy actively, even in this situation; piracy dropped down by 80% first quarter of this year
