All this war games going on across Africa isn't bad at all o, i keep seeing weapons we need on the north east. Today's South Africa and tomorrow's Algeria then the next Morroco. It wouldn't be bad to waste all those ammunitions on boko haram in the name of collaborative war games where we pay for the transport and the load the bombs on boko haram locations.

An ordinary man that wrote the story is your god now abi? You can't be smarter than him? Boeing and the source chose only the two helicopters they wish to compare. Common sense should tell you that because their comparison also excludes Eurocopter Tiger and China Z-10 that looks exactly like Apache, does not mean Tiger and WZ-10 are inferior rivals not competing with Apache.

My guy u hav problem tinking outside a box.

Look it's not about common sense bruz, it's about technical military sense, Boeing cannot compare Mi-35 with Apache because Boeing does not produce assault helicopters of Mi-35 class, Boeing only builds attack helicopters of Mi-28 class.

So Boeing is totally silent on Mi-35 and chose Mi-28 for comparison, same with that your data source, they both said clearly that the comparison is strictly for attack helicopters and Mi-35 doubles as a troop transport, not categorized with those types.

Russia built the Mi-28 as marketing concept to compete with Apache for customers by using copy copy look-alike shape design, that was the failed idea of rival that only 2 buyers choose. Reality turned out differently than designers concept plan, reality today is 80 air forces worldwide choose Mi-35 if they cannot get Apache, so miltary forces world wide have made Mi-35 the real life rival to Apache in real warfare, not in marketing design concept. This simple fact now becomes rocket science too complex for you to understand

Derilict NA T-72's. Another testament to the Army's flawed procurement and maintenance policy.

NAIROBI, Kenya—The deaths of five Kenyan security personnel in a recent attack by Somali terrorists has put the suitability of armored personnel carriers purchased from China under renewed scrutiny.

In another incident, a group of General Service Unit personnel requested that suppliers prove the vehicle’s durability and efficiency in the field by asking the supplier to get into the APC and drive past them as they shot at it at close range.

“The supplier refused to get into the APC. He said he would not endanger his life by getting into the APC as we shot at it because it was not safe. We were all shocked,” an officer told The Standard.

Saffas,I know you're biting your nails and won't check in til at least Saturday evening. You surprised me against Japan-your ball handling errors weren't the Boks we know and frankly if the Japs played intelligently kicking instead of trying to run you'd have been shocked. You should beat England though and I hope you do!
