The solution will be this combination. Walls alone is wishful thinking. The first and most important thing though is political will power and commitment

As you know, we are also dealing with the same issue. Thankfully, no terrs, just people, drugs and cigarettes being smuggled in, with stolen vehicles and livestock going out. This article does a good job of laying out the available domestic tech to tackle our porous borders.

Milkor and Hanwha Systems sign agreement for AESA radar integration on Milkor 380 UAV

South Korea’s Hanwha Systems has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate its Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) on the Milkor 380 Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

Hanwha Systems said it brings deep expertise in AESA radar technology, having developed advanced airborne radar solutions. The integration of its SAR payload will equip the Milkor 380 with high-resolution imaging, Ground and Maritime Moving Target Indication (GMTI/MMTI), and all-weather reconnaissance capability – significantly enhancing its effectiveness in intelligence-gathering and situational awareness.

Hanwha is no stranger to working with South African companies, as it contracted Paramount Aerospace to help test the AESA radar being developed for South Korea’s indigenous KF-21 Boramae fighter jet. Test flights aboard a modified Boeing 737 took place from Pretoria’s Wonderboom National Airport.

The Milkor 380 can be armed, and has already been displayed with Al Tariq X-series precision guided munitions, Halcon Desert Sting DS-16 guided bombs, and FZ602 laser-guided rocket launchers. A mockup of a Milkor-developed missile has also been shown under the aircraft, as Milkor is exploring in-house missile development.

Annual UAV production stands at eight per year, with plans to reach sixteen units a year by 2026. Last year Milkor had half a dozen Milkor 380s under construction at its Cape Town manufacturing facility.

Trump administration considers adding 36 countries to travel ban list

An internal memo reviewed by The Post sets a 60-day deadline for the targeted nations to conform with certain requirements, or face a full or partial entry ban.

The United States is considering restricting entry to citizens of an additional 36 countries in what would be a significant expansion of the travel ban announced by the Trump administration early this month, according to a State Department memo reviewed by The Washington Post.

The memo, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and sent to U.S. diplomats on Saturday, says the governments of the listed nations have 60 days to meet new requirements established by the State Department.

The State Department alleged that some of the countries mentioned have not met various benchmarks, such as “no competent or cooperative central government authority” to provide reliable identity documents or a large number of citizens who have violated the terms of their visas.

However, the memo included a caveat: if a country is willing to accept third-country nationals who are being removed from the United States, it would ease other concerns.

The list of countries which could face visa restrictions, travel bans,or other restrictions includes 25 countries in Africa: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Several Caribbean nations are on the list as well: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia.

There are also four countries in Asia listed: Bhutan, Cambodia, Kyrgyzstan, and Syria; and three countries in Oceania: Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu

Those countries have until 8 a.m. Wednesday to provide the State Department with an initial plan of action to meet the new requirements.

A spokesperson for the Department of State did not comment on ongoing internal deliberations but said the department is always reevaluating policies to ensure Americans are safe and foreign nationals abide by the law.

It’s unclear if the travel restrictions will take effect after that deadline.

Reports about the new internal memo arrive just one week after Trump revived his first-term travel ban and announced a full ban on entry into the United States from 12 countries and travel restrictions on seven others.

Sarcasm, but this post also posits some truths!

"What Iran is allowed to do, according to Israel’s own rules of engagement in Gaza:

If a single Israeli reservist or Likud member lives in a high-rise building, or if a single pistol is nearby, knock down the whole thing

If an Israeli reservist is being treated at a hospital, bomb the sh*t out of it

Since Netanyahu is hiding in an unknown bunker under a densely populated city, drop a bomb every 5 meters indiscriminately until you hit the target. Even if you miss, it’s okay, it’s the intention that counts. (Israel “tried to assassinate” Ezz al-Din al-Haddad 12 times, each resulted a massacre. He’s still alive).

Israelis huddling at a shelter? Surely one of two of them must be Khamas… I mean IDF-linked; so level those places at random, & claim you were aiming for any reservist whose name shows up among the victims. It’s an inevitability if you killed 100 people in one strike, that at least one of them would be a rank & file member of something!

Issue an evacuation order to 80% of Israel, then bomb at will. Anyone who complains, yell at them “we told Israelis to move south”

Bomb journalists, they’re “propaganda operatives” (serious Israeli pretext). Bomb humanitarian workers & doctors to starve the population & collapse their health system, then claim they got in the way or were being used as human shields (or that they are Likud members themselves).

Every time you kill a lot of civilians, keep repeating “they voted for a convicted terrorist (Ben-Gvir), therefore they are all guilty”.

Keep saying “there was a ceasefire on June 12” & “all of this can end now if Israel surrenders and releases the khostages”!
Bomb power plants, seaports, airports, water stations, sewage plants… & claim they all benefited the IDF, since soldiers are humans who use electricity & water (works for Israel every time!)

Shoot anyone with a white flag, & shoot hundreds of kids in the skull, then call the doctors documenting this “Khamas”… I mean “Likud”!

Use only bombs that splinter into ten thousand pieces & kill people in a radius of 500 meters at random!
Those are literally Israel’s rules of engagement in Gaza & this is barely scratching the surface. I can go all day!

PS. For idiots & dingdongs, this post is sarcastic, I don’t approve of violence against civilians under any circumstances. If this post triggered you, blame your darling Israel not me. These are their rules!"

The global economy and trade, Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, were weighty enough on the agenda of the on-going G7 Summit in Canada. The Canadian govt had wanted to keep Israel and Gaza off the agenda. With the Iran conflagration, that now seems impossible.

The G7 summit is attended by leaders from the seven member countries and the European Union, but leaders of other important global allies are also invited. This year attendance will be unusually high. Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, which this year holds the G7 presidency, has invited the leaders of several nonmember countries: India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, Ukraine, Australia and South Korea, and the head of NATO.

bidexiii:
Don't be emotional and blindfolded by your wilful ignorance.
Same Gaza's who where rejoicing when there leaders woke the sleeping lion on October 7th. H HAMAS slaughtered thousands of there own people directly & indirectly by there actions. People like tou will keep quite, This people celebrates HAMAS terrorist and lived like terrorist, its just a Pitty that innocent children would be killed, we lived by the consequences of our actions.

Am I expected to respond to this incoherent word salad?

It's 2025, it's hard to believe some people are still allowing themselves to be victims of basic Zionist propaganda.

It should be pretty easy to spot the difference…

Only to a blind partisan. The citizens of Gaza, whose schools, hospitals, homes and over 20 000 of their children -the very future - have been obliterated, spit on your difference.

It’s recent. State Department has announced that neither Trump nor Rubio will attend the main G20 summit in November.

Going to the white house was a mistake. Your government could have ignored him and allow feel the need to prove a point by visiting South Africa. That’s Trump logic.

Say that it's recent to you. They said this in February already. I'm busy, please do your research before mentioning my handle.

And you're telling me this months-old news because?

Faithful007:
One thing I’ve come to realize about Africans and African governments is that we/they place so much value on how impressive, fascinating or sophisticated a project appears,

Rather than the economic benefits and practical utility of that thing as opposed to its initial and running costs.

A lot of government spending in Africa goes into vanity projects.

RDM receives major 155 mm order

Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) has secured a major 155 mm artillery ammunition order from an international customer – worth tens of millions of euros – as global demand for 155 mm ammunition continues.

Rheinmetall on Tuesday 3 June said an international customer has placed two orders with RDM to supply extended range, full bore (ERFB) 155 mm artillery ammunition worth a total of a high double-digit million euro amount. The order includes projectiles, propellants and fuses.

“We are very grateful for the trust that our business partners and customers place in our globally proven extended-range ammunition and our technology for long ranges”, said Dr Frank Dirksen, CEO of Rheinmetall Denel Munition.

“As a system supplier, we are constantly working to improve our cutting-edge technologies to offer the best possible solutions to modern armed forces”.

The latest orders are the result of rapidly rising international demand, triggered by the tense global security situation, Rheinmetall said, describing itself as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of large-calibre ammunition. The Düsseldorf-based Rheinmetall group has been increasing its production capacity since 2022, and aims at producing at least 1.1 million 155 mm artillery shells per year by 2027.

Like the entire Rheinmetall Corporation, Rheinmetall Denel Munition is constantly expanding its production capacities, as international supply capacities are unable to keep up with demand.

Rheinmetall Denel Munition is also making progress in integrating major technological innovations into its production. “This also results in higher performance and outstanding field usability for users,” the company said. RDM is currently validating the firing of precision projectiles with a range of 73 km from howitzers which are compatible with NATO’s Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding (JBMOU). “These ranges enable significant survivability and offensive effectiveness on the battlefield,” according to Rheinmetall.

RDM emphasised its delivery reliability, technical support, and extensive manufacturing structure that covers all energetic and mechanical parts for the production of 155 mm ammunition, whether rocket-assisted, with increased effect or an even scattering.

The company said it expects increasing orders, and is constantly adjusting its five-year production plan to meet the needs of its most important customers. Its drive to expand production capacity saw it this month establish a new entity, Rheinmetall Resonant South Africa (Pty) Ltd, which specialises in plant engineering for chemical applications.

The Weapon and Ammunition segment of the Rheinmetall group achieved record sales of €599 million in the first three months of 2025, exceeding the previous year’s figure by €237 million or 66%. The increase compared to the same period of the previous year is attributable in particular to higher ammunition deliveries. Important projects included orders for artillery ammunition for NATO countries and Ukraine, as well as increased sales of tank ammunition, the company said in May.

SA military manufacturer pivots to Kia partnership to cover loss of iconic Toyota V8

Milkor has relied on Toyota’s robust Land Cruiser 79 series chassis for its Frontier border patrol vehicles, but Toyota’s decision to discontinue the V8 powertrain has forced SA’s premier private military contractor to seek alternatives.

Kia has offered the South African private military manufacturer Milkor its Tasman platform on which to build its border patrol vehicles when the Toyota Land Cruiser-based Frontier 4×4 project runs out of engines.
Milkor has relied on Toyota’s robust Land Cruiser 79 series chassis since its inception, but Toyota’s decision to discontinue the V8 powertrain has forced SA’s premier private military contractor to seek alternatives.

“The 79 series obviously is moving away from the 4.5 V8, moving to a 2.8 diesel,” explained Daniel du Plessis, Milkor’s marketing and communications director.

While the smaller 2.8-litre diesel engine might suffice for standard 4×4 configurations, it creates significant challenges for more advanced applications.

“In the 6×6 configuration, it makes it extremely difficult because you have an automatic gearbox now, which is very difficult to have a through shaft for the external for the third axle,” said Du Plessis.
Toyota’s V8 sunset timeline

Toyota’s plans to discontinue the venerable 4.5-litre turbodiesel V8 engine, which has powered the Land Cruiser 70 Series for 18 years, began with the 76 Series wagon in August 2024, and will be followed by the single- and double-cab 79 Series (the Frontier base) models in August 2025.
In its place will be a 2.8-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel, already used in the Hilux and Land Cruiser Prado. This is to bring these mighty steeds in line with stricter emissions standards and changing market demands.

Despite the imminent change, Du Plessis said the current Land Cruiser-based operations were secure in the short term.

“Our engagement with Toyota directly was that we don’t need to worry about it for now,” he said. “At least for the next two years, we will most likely continue using this. But the obvious alternative is the Kia in the near future.”
Kia Tasman to the rescue

The Kia Tasman, a rugged new pickup with a face only a devout bakkie fanatic would love, was unveiled in military trim earlier this year at Idex 2025 in Abu Dhabi and has emerged as Milkor’s chosen replacement platform. The partnership was initiated by Kia’s military division, based in South Korea.

“They approached us essentially to co-develop the system, and we proposed this platform. So, we’ll do the first prototype development of that quite soon,” said Du Plessis.

The Tasman appears well-suited to Milkor’s needs, requiring minimal modifications to serve as the basis for the Frontier.

“The Tasman essentially will be the undercarriage. There are no real upgrades needed to it. It’s actually a very rugged vehicle,” said Du Plessis. “Might be some suspension issues and components which we’ll need to change, but essentially getting a stock-standard Kia Tasman chassis with a few modifications, and then we just pop the same body on to it.

“The engine is actually quite powerful. It’s also produced by Kia themselves, so also a diesel engine.”

The powertrain in question is most likely from the long-serving Hyundai R family of 2.2-litre common rail diesel, which has been the beating heart of flagship Kias since its Korean sibling rescued it from bankruptcy in 1998.

Worthy successor?

The Tasman, Kia’s first serious entry into the bakkie market, appears to possess the capabilities necessary for specialised applications.

The military variant features a 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine in a 150kW and 441Nm of torque state of tune, coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It can carry a payload of up to 1.1 tonnes and tow trailers weighing up to 3.5 tonnes.
With 252mm of ground clearance, an electronic locking differential, and the ability to ford water up to 800mm deep thanks to its snorkel, the Tasman offers impressive off-road credentials that align well with Milkor’s requirements.

What makes the Tasman particularly appealing as a long-term platform is its modular ladder-frame chassis, which Kia has designed to accommodate multiple powertrain options, and its eight to 12-year predicted lifespan. According to Roland Rivero, general manager of product planning at Kia Australia, the company is actively “studying and reviewing” both hybrid and fully electric variants of the Tasman.

As Toyota closes the chapter on its iconic V8 diesel engine, Milkor’s partnership with Kia represents an adaptive strategy to ensure the continued evolution of its specialised vehicle offerings, maintaining its capability to serve defence and security needs across Africa and beyond.
What’s the deal with the Frontier?

The Milkor Frontier is designed specifically for border surveillance operations, targeting law enforcement agencies, gendarmerie, and border management authorities. The vehicle features ballistic protection — capable of stopping an AK-47 armour-piercing round — while maintaining the agility required for difficult terrain.
With a range of up to 800km thanks to extended fuel tanks, the Frontier can be customised with various accessories, including weapon systems and command and control suites.

Milkor has morphed into a full-service military and defence contractor with its flagship 380 drone now reaching full production. DM

Tower35 developing Stabilised Commander Sight

Having successfully developed a four-axis stabilised airborne electro-optical gimbal, Pretoria-based Tower35 is finalising a new Stabilised Commander Sight (SCS) for land vehicles.

According to Hendrik Pieterse, Configuration Manager at Tower35, the goal of the project was to develop a cost-effective, scalable two-axis land-based Stabilised Commander Sight for local and international markets, that can be integrated with the client’s own electro-optical sensors or be delivered as a complete system tailored to the client’s requirements.

The Commander’s Sight is stabilised for mobile observation, and has a range of up to 10 km during day operations and 5 km during night operation. It incorporates an optical zoom day sensor and cooled thermal imager as well as a laser rangefinder. The sight has a field of elevation of -30 to +60 degrees, a slew rate of 60 degrees/second, and a weight of 45 kg. The laser rangefinder has a range of 12 km. Geo-location and pointing comes as standard with either a static pitch and roll sensor or INS (inertial navigation system) for mobile applications.

Optional additions include an 80 mJ laser designator, and a short wave infrared sensor.

With the assistance of Aerospace Industry Support Initiative (AISI) funding, Tower35 was able to further develop the system and extensively test it – it was demonstrated at a private local exhibition for military attaches, and was featured along with a client’s product at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) exhibition in September 2024. This year Tower35 aims to bring the sight to production ready status.

Tower35 was established in 2001, doing work for Hensoldt Optronics South Africa, and aerial photography. Over the years its capabilities expanded, including developing small electro-optical gimbals for the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and Visual Air Productions, aircraft harmonisation equipment for the Rooivalk attack helicopter, stabilised cameras, video processors etc.

One of Tower35’s key products is its SPA280 airborne electro-optical gimbal, development of which began nearly ten years ago for Paramount Advanced Technologies and Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST). The four-axis airborne gimbal is suitable for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) as well as intelligence, surveillance, targeting, and reconnaissance (ISTR). As it weighs less than 20 kg it is suitable for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and other lightweight aircraft applications.

The SPA280 includes colour and monochrome near infrared TV sensors, a cooled infrared camera, and laser rangefinder, giving day/night capability. The day camera has a detection range of nearly 15 km and recognition range of 8 km, while the thermal camera has a detection range of over 12 km and recognition range of 6 km. Laser rangefinder range is up to 12 km.

The SPA280 has been sold to a number of customers, and Tower35 has received work internationally from companies like Halcon – other clients include Denel, African Astronautics, Reutech Radar Systems, Wild Images, Paramount, and Hensoldt South Africa.

Tower35 products are both free of US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and German BAFA (Federal Office of Economics and Export Control) restrictions.

In preparation for the impending flood and water disaster season in the Western Cape, government emergency services conducted a multi-agency flood preparedness exercise at Worcester's Qwaggaskloof Dam on May 13, 2025.
The exercise involved specialised units from the South African Police Service (SAPS), including Water Policing and Diving services SAR operators, K9 Search and Rescue, the Special Task Force and the Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness EMS Western Cape, Metro Rescue, and the EMS Drone Unit.

The simulation focused on flood rescue techniques, with personnel practicing throw bag deployments and power swims for rapid victim retrieval, arc-based search patterns to systematically locate victims in water bodies, jet ski and rubber duck rescues, including the utilization of a rescue sled for patient extraction and rubber duck operations for mass rescues in deep or fast-moving water. The arc technique, a structured search method, was emphasized to improve efficiency in locating and retrieving victims while navigating hazardous currents.

With the Western Cape’s flood season approaching, such exercises ensure rescue teams are equipped to handle water-related disasters, including flash floods, river rescues, and storm-related emergencies. Integration of drones enhances search capabilities, while K9 resources provide additional support in locating missing persons.
Authorities highlighted the importance of inter-agency coordination, as floods often require a combined effort from police, disaster management personnel, and medical teams.

IDEX 2025: KORKUT Integration on Wahash 8x8 AFV

UAE-based Calidus displayed the Wahash 8x8 armoured fighting vehicle with ASELSAN’s KORKUT 35 mm air defence system in the IDEX 2025 exhibition.

A surprise from the IDEX2025 is the KORKUT integrated into the Calidus Wahash 8x8 armoured vehicle, signalling the country’s interest in the short-range air defence system. Wahash is a joint development by Calidus and the South African ADG Mobility that was unveiled in IDEX 2019.

Before Walash, KORKUT’s first integration on an 8x8 platform was on Otokar’s ARMA 8x8 armoured fighting vehicle, displayed in the IDEF’23 exhibition.

KORKUT is actively used with the Turkish Armed Forces onboard FNSS’s ACV-30 tracked armoured vehicle. In the ongoing counter-terrorism operations, KORKUT has been successfully used to counter UAV threats and against ground targets. The threat coverage also includes helicopters, low-flying aircraft, and cruise missiles.

KORKUT can fire various munitions armed with two 35 mm revolver cannons with a combined fire rate of 1100 RPM, including the standard 35 mm ammunition and ATOM 35 airburst ammunition.

ATOM 35, specifically developed for KORKUT and towed 35 mm anti-aircraft guns, is the system’s main effector. Upon exit, the fire control system programs the rounds to scatter metal fragments over a large area. Unlike proximity-fused rounds, programmed airburst ammunition is resistant to interference.

The turret includes the AKREP 100-G fire control radar with its own EO/IR tracking system. Additionally, KORKUT units can work alongside the command vehicle, which carries the KALKAN 200-G (MAR) searching radar with a range of 80 km.

Future developments for KORKUT include the KORKUT C-RAM variant, which will be used in conjunction with the STR 400-G (SERHAT DUAL) weapon-locating radar. The firing tests for KORKUT C-RAM were conducted in 2024.

No, Marx is a German-Jew surname... Of course, he can speak Afrikaans, he was forced to learn it at school and speak it in the military.

Marx is a Germanic name, yes, but not exclusively Jewish. For example, the lawyer Herschel HaLevi Mordecai - Karl Marx's father - changed his name to Heinrich Marx in order to escape the Prussian ban on Jews practicing law. If Marx were an exclusively Jewish name, he would have chosen differently.

Flip Marx is an Afrikaner, and refers to himself as such in his address at the Voortrekker Monument about preserving "onse volk" history, traditions etc.

Now let me get on with more pressing matters

GreenandGold:
Brother, Flip Marx is Jewish, a German Jew like Helen Zille... It's literally in his surname.

Could've have sworn he's an Afrikaner. The army during apartheid was not in the habit of promoting Jews to ranks like colonel.

Edit: Just found a video of him speaking at the Voortrekker Monument. He's as Afrikaans as jl115!

ICP marks 20 year anniversary with new vehicles and strategic expansion

With 20 years of experience under the company’s belt, ICP (Integrated Convoy Protection) has been modernising and expanding its fleet, recently launching several new military and security vehicles.
CEO Nadine Rynners said ICP has experienced a significant resurgence, as highlighted by the multiple new vehicles it has developed after substantial investment.

The armoured vehicle specialist’s updated range includes:

A new 6×6 Armoured Utility Vehicle;

A new 4×4 Armoured Utility Vehicle;

A new 4×4 Armoured Personnel Carrier;

A range of Cash-in-Transit Vehicles.

The Armoured Utility Vehicles are mine-protected logistical vehicles equipped with integrated ISO container locks, enabling the transport of standard ISO shipping containers in hostile environments. ICP said these vehicles offer high mobility and share common spare parts with the REVA armoured personnel carrier (APC) range, enhancing logistical support.

Additionally, the Armoured Utility Vehicles can be fitted with specialised modules, such as a containerised ambulance or a light recovery crane. They appear to be entering service in the Middle East as the Kasser II (4×4) and Kasser III (6×6). According to Asian Military Review, the Kasser II was unveiled in the Middle East by M4 Industries at IDEX 2021 and is currently in service with the UAE military.

Asian Military Review further added that the Kasser II is the Emirati version of the 4×4 REVA V APC, but featuring a revised grille, two-piece windscreen and other cosmetic changes. It has been fitted with the Raad I remotely operated weapon station that the UAE has acquired from Spain’s Escribano.
ICP could not comment on its clients due to non-disclosure agreements but said it only manufactures vehicles in South Africa. According to National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) annual reports, South Africa exported 42 Reva armoured vehicles to the UAE between 2019 and 2023, but NCACC reports do not specify vehicle type.

The REVA V is ICP’s flagship and the biggest armoured vehicle in its range with full independent suspension. This vehicle is available in various configurations to suit customer requirements. It can seat between six and eight people in the rear in addition to two crew members in the front, and is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. A V-shaped hull provides protection against landmines and IEDs (ballistic protection is to BR7 level Level 4A/B against IEDs and mines). The REVA V is just over seven metres long and weighs 16 tonnes unladen.

ICP is renowned for its REVA range of vehicles, an acronym for Reliable, Effective, Versatile, and Affordable. The REVA III 4×4 APC remains the company’s most popular and best-selling model, with over 2 000 units manufactured in South Africa. ICP has also expanded its manufacturing capabilities globally, establishing a plant in Iraq in 2005 where REVA vehicles were successfully produced.

REVA vehicles have been deployed across various regions worldwide, including Iraq, the UAE, Yemen, Somalia, Equatorial Guinea, Sudan, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand, and South Africa.

A vehicle made by a Jewish company used to attach Jewish funded ships...

You can't make this sh#t up

When did ICP become a Jewish company? Flip Marx, the former Special Forces colonel who founded the company, and Frans Toerien, former parabat and retired commanding officer of 101 Air Supply Battalion, are not Jewish. I know a stake was sold in the company recently, to fund expansion. Did a majority shareholding change hands?

I suppose the Houthis have been cannibalising some of the 172 Revas to keep some running, cos no spares have been shipped from SA since they took over.

Necessity is the mother of invention. A Reva III with BM-14-17K ship-based MLRS tubes in Yemen.
