Can anyone ID this tank?

The pic was taken in the Sudan/Ethopia/Etreiria (I beleive)

It looks like a M84 Patton

Patchesagain:
I doubt it... production ended ages ago and I doubt we can spare any.

Could be France I'm really not sure hey
All I know is that our Government placed an order for two

@ViceAdmiral
I think our Navy should adopt this uniform from the NYS
As a "Navy working Camo" as the Americans put it

ViceAdmiral:
I think the only deal that will probably survive the economic woes is the MK111....we can't afford(and probably have no skills to operate) other listed items especially the Gripen or Barroso class corvette

By the way which unit is responsible for COIN in the police the Special Field Force or Special Reserve Force?

That would be the Special Reserve Force
Did you know that it costs our Government R2million to send a Special Forces Operator for training in Russia?

MBT3000 is an exellent platform... it caused the Russians to freak out and order a mass upgrade of their T90's to a new standard of T90AM

Where are you getting Oryx from?

From you guys :-)

ViceAdmiral:
That makes two of us....its about time the MLRS we have in service are retired to the Museum ...I don't see us getting the IVECO Guarani though not with the current 'financial belt tightening'...but either way i prefer the Brazilians any day of the year ....Have u gotten wind of any planned purchases for the armed forces....any news on the MK111

Indeed for sure we're in the process of Ordering Chinese MBT3000(Not sure how many units)
Dornier Do-28 for Maritime Surveillance
Also expressed Interest in Barosso Class Corvette(Again the Brazilians)
Oryx Helicopter(X2 for use by the President and high ranking officials) and then a much larger order later on this year
And we're definitely replacing our F-7's(But it's still between the Gripen and the J-10)
And that's pretty much it...
20 MK3 units on the assembly line at MK3(Not sure they're for us though)

ViceAdmiral:
Its my understanding that the current agreement with Brazil is being extended to the Army so expect soldiers to be sent to Brazil for training much like the Navy

The Brazilians are being rather "friendly" these days...They don't wan't the Chinese to take their places Talks are being held for the Sale of Avibras Astros II MLRS and they are also imposing their IVECO Guarani on us(Either to jointly manufacture it at WMF or to sell some units to us)like the Agrale Marrua...In all honesty I prefer the Brazilians to the Chinese

Patchesagain:
Is this so they can work with Brazilians or Angolans?

Brazilians My source for the images said that they receive a crash course in the Language,Culture and History of Brazil over here(Namibia) to prepare themselves for training in Brazil

Great time to be a keyboard warrior.

I think Ghana has represented in a lot of African and international operations. I wish a new president will come in and revive the military nuclear program

You want nukes?

MikeCZAR:
Yes.

Hmmm
Any more info?

@Viceadmiral
Not sure about the rest of the navy...but with the marines the officers wear a darker uniform(when not ceremonial)wish I could've taken a picture of all of them...
It's kind of like a "bone"white

The Burkinabe held their own**Applause**

MikeCZAR:
There was talk of replacing the AK in Nam. What happened to that? not satisfied with the performance of the Korean rifles?

Wait what?Korean Rifles?

lol - "beats of no nation".... a movie about a renegade African Warlord/DJ

I have seen it, it was fantastic

Took me a while to see what you found amusing I got it now
English never loved us

Evening Gents
(This is off topic yet somewhat relevant I guess)
I highly recommend you guys see "Beasts of no Nation" either at the cinemas,Netflix or Putlocker...It's epic*Praise emoji*

And Nigerian/Ghanian ECOMOG forces

Patchesagain:
Should have gotten the iKlwa variant*

Anyway, good to see that they choose a vehical that was designed for Africans by Africans. Pity that the Rooikat is out of production... also a pity that the AMCIT turret and GI-30 does not fit on the Ratel.

I remember sitting in parliament two years back during the Annual Defense report and a member of the procurement team proposed the procurement of 80 IKLWA APC's for the Namibian Marine Corps...wonder what happened to that
Must be the founding...
