Patchesagain:
This is why I dont like the Hind

Designed around Russian attack helo doctrine which is a bad doctrine... strafing runs get pilots killed and assets knocked out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWJ6oFBqdJc\

It works for the Russians because they can replace their Hinds and pilots... can the rest of the 3rd world say the same?

African nations should start looking elsewhere for their attack helo needs

Hit them with the TOW" grin

How many versions of the wolf are out there right now

WMF's page on wiki lists these
Wolf I,
Wolf II,
Wolf Turbo III - at 14 tons,
WerWolf Mk 1 - at 10 tons.
Wer’wolf MKII at 17 tons
plus the
MK111

I'm sure there are repetitions on that list

Gottfried is only familiar with the Wolf Turbo II,Wer'wolf MK II and the MKIII the rest were all pre-independence

Only if the government and or WMF made announcements about its sales

Just got back from Cuba...Their military hardware is made up of soviet era relics and the term MRAP does not exist over there undecided

if only the government would sell them the MK2/Marrua and even the MK3...Being Comrades and all cry

Even the sale of Sat phones and Uniforms could bolster relations...remind you they did the same for us once upon a time cry

Some pictures from the new Karibib Air force base...
It's the largest in the country and is expected to house about 7000 Personnel...
The base is yet to be opened so there's no aircraft...But a few military personnel have already taken up residence in the barracks and have made use of the recreational Facilities...While there spotted 4 Agrale Marrua Special forces jeeps and about 6 Wolf Turbo II
