ViceAdmiral:
Gottfried i got a million questions for u right now...

Seeing that we bought the Agrale Marruas from Brazil(when it was said we wer interested in a Chinese copy of the HUMVEE)...We bought the Kornet ATGM and those 183 trucks from Russia Im sort of seeing our military not 'preferring' Chinese equipment in the future...NOW does that speak volumes about the performance the Chinese equipment we have in service(Could the equipment be that bad )

Also seeing that our second last Chief of Defence Force was (forcibly ) honorably 'retired' after he was exposed as having accepted money from a Chinese defense company that was doing business with our military at the time could that indicate that Chinese equipment was bought coz Generals wer given 'commissions' Whats your take?

I suggest sitting in when parliament discusses the procurement of weapons (it's open to the public) The recent acquisition was just part of an arms deal the Russians offered us...Which we paid for using the barter system...Ever since the new Minister of Defence to office...The military has been trying to "Diversify" their arsenal...They are also in talk with the German Governemnt to provide a H&K model which can be used to as the new Standard Issue Rifle

frumentius:
Well, that MI-8 was a sitting duck!

I just finished watching an episode of World's toughest Military jobs and this week they gave a look at the U.S. Pararescue squad...After watching that I feel like they could've carried out the operation better ....In that department the states definitely beats Russia

frumentius:
Now that the dust is settling somewhat, Russia's first effort to rescue the downed Fencer pilots was so tactically inept it was doomed to fail. I explain my reasons over at the discussion thread here: https://www.nairaland.com/1962290/african-militaries-strictly-discussions-thread/7#40487927

He hit them with the TOW

Henry240:
What's the cause of the insurrection?

Some High ranking officials and UNITA sympathisers are trying to topple to current Government...that's pretty much all I know

Patchesagain:
Wtf is happening in Angola?

The Government has clamped down on what's being reported these days(hence there not being much info on what's happening) There was a video released by Anonymous Portugal earlier this week declaring war on the Angolan Government...I suggest you watch that to get a better picture

ViceAdmiral:
How bad are things in Angola right now....i rarely follow much about them

I'm hearing talks of a coup,an uprising and even another civil war...But the countriy is definitely deteriorating...Apparently Namibia should expect a mass influx of refugees...And for fighting to spill over into the northern part of the country

Nobody is safe anymore...God Protect Namibia

Angolan Special Forces parade
Sorry for derailing...but nobody is talking about the impending implosion of Angola *Drops mic*

They were Angolan

Amani Africa II

Do you know which country that soldier holding the bullpup is from? Their soldiers seem really well equipped

ViceAdmiral:
That's one less 3/4-ton pickup truck Marrua we have...RIP to the service member ...Any info out yet on our deployment to Amani Africa II

Doesn't look all to bad(being hopeful) I mean the chassis is still intact I'm sure the guys at WMF will be able to "fix" it...someone spotted them towing it via flatbed truck to Windhoek...so fingers crossed...R.I.P to the young soldier....I'm in the dark on that one

ViceAdmiral:
Pics will be out soon of the new stuff

So what caliber is this antique??

37mm

ViceAdmiral:
Those pics were taken on Jan Jonker Afrikaner road definitely..The Russian embassy is just to the right in pic 2(out of the shot)Seems like the convoy was heading to Suiderhof. So who are suppliers this time around?China?

You see those camouflage vests the Russian pilots are wearing in Syria?yep saw a few of those...The crates had Russian writing on it...so I'm assuming it was the Russians
The trunk must have the Kornet E missiles and rifles we ordered this year...I'm sure you know about the Kornets...But we also ordered 300 AK's and 250 SKS Rifles for the Honor guard

Nam Military offloaded a large weapons and supplies cache from a big cargo plane at the airport...
Saw Kevlar,backpacks,Turrets(Maybe for our wolves) and a few other weapons in trunks
