ViceAdmiral:


I first thought it was the Walvis coastal fog playing with my eyes or the camera lenses

Out of curiosity what missiles are 'our' F7's and K8's armed with i only eva see the Centerline gun pod and rockets

In all honesty...I have no idea Never really cared for those F-7's
Those J-10's must sommer land already kao

Namibian made Wolf Mraps in use with US contractors in Iraq...@ViceAdmiral peep the second turret

MikeCZA:



SADC presidents are paranoid.

JZ had two Gripen's escort him back to South Africa from Brazil sometime last year Can't remember what the even was though

And in the rare event that "El Padrino" Do Santos leaves his country he always has two Sukhoi's flanking his plane
I guess it's just a SADC thing

@Gottfried

On friday the Chief of Naval Staff mentioned that they had dispatched marines and equipment to Impalila Island outpost

Bloody Marvellous

Also,The Presidential Plane was escorted by two F-7's when he landed in Walvis...I think it's a new practice
Notice how they repainted the F-7's to match the K-8's

The Armed Forces are looking for Officer Cadets to recruit directly.

I'm waiting for the backlash from the Nation who have no idea what officer cadets are when they see the high requirements

35 Points!?!?!?!? oh my God...

ViceAdmiral:

I noticed that all weapons and turrets on the interceptors and IFV's during the parade inspection were facing away from the CiC?whats the reason for that and there was no march off by the marines

Would you be comfortable with them facing him?

Namibia is developing an 8x8 amphibious vehicle.

Yes,along with the help of the Brazilian Advisory group...But yes

ViceAdmiral:


What 8*8 APC? I've given up on WMF,maybe the Africa Aerospace & Defence Expo will bring some news on anything new they produce

Namibian marine SF badges

There's an 8X8 aPC they're working on with the Brazilians...I personally think it's the Iveco Guarani...But we won't be sure for a while

Henry240:


"That your un-reliable friend from NBC". I remember he didn't come through the last time.

He took his time but eventually he came through...I posted the footage on YouTube

ViceAdmiral:


No probs,did we buy extra WZ523's or these 1's are from the Army?

Yeah those are army APC's
The marines don't have any Armoured vehicles of their own at the moment...but the 8x8 aPC that's being developed will have amphibious capabilities...so maybe that will be for them
