redsun: Most if your prime lands and investments are owned by white people that refused to give up their colonial acquisitions. All the big businesses that attracts tourists and international interest are most ran by whites. While the small ones are now being colonised by the igbos and Somalians.
Kenyans are still very well structured in the civil structures that the colonialists left.
Seems like people on this thread don't realize that foreign investment is actually a good thing.....You want foreign companies to operate, invest and open businesses in your country, it helps grow the economy!!
Your economy doesn't care if it's white,black or Asians investing, so this whole argument of "the White man owns this" "The White man runs that" is probably the dumbe$t thing i've ever heard!! all it shows how backwards and paranoid many Africans are.
And BTW both Kenya and Nigeria are mixed economies, with Nigeria having a larger FDI than Kenya, thus if Kenya is owned by the "White Man" Nigeria is owned twice fold by the so called "White Man"
Jayceon: I don't understand Dutch but bit of Afrikaans
Translation??
Which part you want translated?? Most of the time they are just talking about what they learned, the making of fire with a condom the most intriguing according to the Dutch soldier! They also talked about the blisters they got from the march and how good the it is training with the Parabats
Henry240: Naah!! I'm not banned. However, I'm sure the American got a ban.
Deserved it though....don't know if he was just trolling or just being Murican!! think Patches689 also got a ban.....but seriously these spambots/ moderators have been savage tonight...I was banned twice for discussing on the discussion thread!
The weight of the Leopard is not known. This information is not known. I don't know were you got your figure from.
However the "combat weight" of the PF-2 MKII a different vehicle, much heavier amour is 4 tons.
Your argument holds no water.
You said it based on a Land Cruiser chassis right?? Now the Cruiser 70 troop carrier has a gross weight of over 3 tons! now add at least 500-1000kg of armour!! see what im getting at?
And according to proforce the Gross weight of the PF-2 is 5 tons : proforcedefence.com/pf2-apc/
Henry240: It can be carried by a medium utility helicopter. It's amour is made from Dynemma, a light weight armour. It's also based on the land cruiser chassis.
Like I previously said to you, come back with a factual argument. Your rants do not in anyway even begin to tackle the arguments I've raised.
The Leopard weighs at least 4 tons....and that's without troops, equipment, fuel ect ect which would be at least another 500-1000kg
Given the fact that most medium transport helicopters can only carry between 3-3,5 tons on a sling means it can't be transported by 95% of medium helicopters.......Hell even the Oryx with a sling capacity of 4,5 tons(Which is the most of any medium heli) would struggle!
Dutch soldier of the Royal Netherlands Army 11th AirMobile Brigade....basically our 6th Infantry Battalion equivalent , they came a few years ago to receive training from 44 Para regiment!
lezz: Firstly you didn't have to write in bold letters; we aren't blond like you.
South Africa still has the tag of European extension globally. That's the perception and no amount of banter can change that . South Africa isn't even a TRUE leader in southern Africa. The Angolans have got a better legitimacy and heritage than you.
You can scream now.
Yes mate, you still haven't posted that source of yours!
AugustineAgain: Mister Liar ! You said yesterday that the explosion is 5.6 km away from the Gripen, so when you say my reply, you magically changed it to two times farther away at 11 km.....Fear of defeat...leads to wild imaginations
Fact is, the supersonic speed Gripen is speeding at 2,000 km/h into the blast 5.6 km distance ahead, and the blast is also speeding debris and projectiles towards the Gripen in head on collision.....hear your own voice below...
Next, you say 11.8 kg explosive of both missiles ?
Well, a military researcher is always one step ahead of you
PL-9C missile high explosive warhead alone is 11.89 kg....say 12 kg.
Add A-Darter warhead, say another 12 kg.
Total high explosive = 24 kg = 3 times the explosive power of anti-tank landmine that blows up solid steel armoured main battle tanks !
Plus the fuel inside both missiles, say 10 gallons of flammable fuel ! You forgot to add fuel explosion to warhead explosion !
So, power of the blast is = 3 anti-tank land mines and 10 gallons of petrol all mixed together against an aluminium/glass body aircraft !
You cannot turn a high speed jet aircraft away from a frontal incoming divergent wave explosion in 4 seconds.
Gripen is travelling at supersonic high speed 2,000 km/h and just 4 seconds away from an incoming explosion that is throwing high speed debris, fire and sharp projectiles in divergent wave (SPREADING OUTWARD INCREASING AREA COVERAGE IN A 360 DEGREE SPHERICAL DIRECTION.....four dimensional explosion on all four cardinal points....see my photo below).
The Gripen is not a spirit that turns in half a second, not even one second, pilots needs several seconds to pull throttle stick, jet needs time to respond, airframe ailerons and flaps need time to respond, jet fighters CANNOT make high g pulls or sharp turns at supersonic high speed, the jet will stall.....means lose control by losing engine power, or the wings can break off and tear off the aircraft.
Gripen has died o !
I just showed you why close range air combat is called a zone of death, and the 20 km missile range is a NO ESCAPE ZONE for pilots.
Also, I have shown you why no pilot in this world has ever stopped a missile with his own missile, air to air missiles, NO PILOT NO WAR HAS EVER ACHIEVED THAT MISSION IMPOSSIBLE !
Always one step ahead of you.....get it ? Yes you get it ! .
4 seconds is a sh.t long time to react mate!! A pilot will easily avoid any object/blast 4 seconds in front of him.

"You cannot turn a high speed jet aircraft away from a frontal incoming divergent wave explosion in 4 seconds."
4 seconds is fcking slow!!! The average human has a reaction time of about 260 milliseconds, thus even a very very average person like yourself will be able to avoid the blast with ease in 4 seconds!
@Lezz i actually got bann.ed twice posting the source of your excerpts!! The fact that you quote from a f.orum, and claim it to be fact,shows that youve stooped even lower than i can have imagined!
lezz: Healthcare? Your citizens are the most HIV infected in the world, your health care is a 0. But I no you must be talking about few private hospitals own by Anglo -Dutch.
Education? What nonsense? The vast majority of your population are pap guzzlers too busy feeling the victim of anglo-Dutch oppression and thinking of stealing their companies and running their firms to the ground to get any proper education. Nigerians on the other hands are Nobel literary winners being the most educated people in the America.
Infrastructure? I could give you that. But we all know all the cities the anglo-Dutch built for you are turning into slums. Fact.
Entertainment? You are a hopless slowpoke running out of point. Nigeria remains the entertainment headquarters of Africa. Channel O broadcast us FREE OF CHARGE.
DSTV? how does that change the fact that you're no. 2 in Africa? Your petty mindedness is alarming.
Beaches Wildlife Hotels , Stupid criteria not worth the efforts of disputing. You really are silly.
Technology? Not anymore, all your companies are foreign and the few left are all Anglo Dutch, son. You have nothing.
Sports? What are you taking about. Football and track and field we remain your superiors and those are the sports Africa care about.
I hope you have read the report by ISS ? We remain your superior and that report happened to mirror my prediction last year.
South Africa is an ignorant, misguided nation with no sense of international play, tact, and power. A country ran by blacks who went to school too old, too late and who seem confused picking up where the anglo-Dutch left off.
Hahahaha again you are blatantly telling lies to make your self feel better!!! But hey if thats what you need to do, to make your self feel better then hey! im not stopping you!
