how is a majorly Afrikaner SADF an extension of the British empire?
Those in-charge, apartheid was at the highest; Afrikaners were not registered officers... Maybe you can enlighten me from what I read with the reality, since it's your history.

- Honestly, the Germans would have leveled the Soviets if it was not for the Allied Forces hitting Germany from the west.
- Russia did not win any war in Afghanistan
- Their doctrine was shamed by Israel Defense Force a dozen times
- The SADF also obliviated forces trained by the Soviets.
- NOW, they're failing in Ukraine
There they go again!!!.... Same west that fell in about 1 yr or so.... France literally took a month or so with their so called advanced weapons then.

Stop calling them SADF, just call them British army and history written by the West says otherwise

60% of war experts that I have met online agreed that they won

Export versions are not compromised, they're just export versions. It does not mean they're not lethal, all the AAMs that were fielded by Iraq had the capability to shoot down a helicopter or a dozen. Their failure to do is was a doctrine issue (Soviet doctrine to be precise), not an equipment issue.
Doctrine issues, but that doctrine have been winning them wars despite the cost; Well, atleast their generals are not more in the comfort zone again but with their soldiers at the warfront. You guys are still salty from your loss with Cuba inwhich you won but lost at thesame time.

Do you know how powerful Nigeria's military is? This little vehicle here can shoot down all of Nigeria's Air Force fighters without even reloading grin grin
If wars were fought like that, damn!!! US would have thrashed Vietnam, Russia would have trampled Ukraine; Soviets would have lost the battle of stanlingrad.

A country that has the largest airforce closing in to Egypt on paper in Africa but no one seems to care or hyped about it; maybe I'm missing something!!!

Just to add, the SAAF flew Puma Helicopters into southern Angolan airspace, at that time it was the most actively protected airspace in Sub-Suhura and possibly the whole hemisphere... The radars covered the whole of northern Namibia, SAAF movement was detected and tracked while inside Namibia BUT the still Pumas flew into that airspace and back... So, don't sing us the Russian helicopter praises.
What's makes an airspace contested? Comparing 2 children fighting to 2 adults fighting expecting the losses to be similar and very brutal. Angolan airspace was protected shocked shocked, with what?...... Radars is different from sams etc, y'all love to over-hype your military too much.
Iraqi war losses according to Wikipedia(not.really credible per se) during 2003 and 2009.
I sighted over over 5 downed black hawk and their airspace then wasn't even hot compared to the 90's according to the article.

We are talking from performance we have seen of the AH in a contested environment.

The claim that the Russians should not have lost more than 2 units cannot be logically proven.
Eggzactly, it can't be logically proven; imagine being supplied the latest inventory from the top nations shelves and still do wonders. Talking about the us hyped switchblades, Britain brimstones, turkey tb2, manpads, germany tanks about to be included to show. Wait a minute, m777 artillery........ Lest not forget about the tanks that US sent, even given live update from pentagon, Britain etc; ohh are we forgetting about the starlink(the game changer for logistics). If we start looking at every weapons the west hyped about, Russians did well even with their bloated soviet-era tactics and taking it slow with ukraine. The latest hype is himars, buckle your seatbelts mates; enjoy the show of the modern warfare

See what I keep saying about the fog of war and propaganda; they were clearly lying as day. Now everything has cleared up.... Now they're now trying to justify the lies, see wait till the end of the war to know the real truth btw the people that need convincing are the ukrainians especially with the daily hacks by russian hackers on their media e.g the football match of yesterday.

The anger and wailing on the Russki telegram channels was real enough. 2 BTGs, T-72s, T-80s, BMPs, MT-LBs etc destroyed on 2 attempts at bridging due to incompetence.
But you are the same one always shouting source and links; or you just need them for things against your narrative? Things aren't always what they seem, mainly because most ukis equipment are very similar to russians and a lot of manipulation can come into play but whom am I to say all these; We take in all things as the media dishes it to us till later. I can tell you one side of my story and it will look so infallible till you hear the other side.

we are all in fact colonisers of South Africa (Black and White) it was only the khoi people that are indigenous to SA..... Ironically the khoi SAN were not white enough in apartheid to benefit from it and now ain't black enough to benefit from BEE and AA....

Even though back then everyone participated in the conquest of Southern Africa, today its just easier politically to blame everything on the whitey grin
Wow; I now understand the situation much more better.
