You can see there are a lot of yellow trucks and different types.

Someone's deserves some jail time for acquiring those.

Looks like your chaps tumbled across a BH garage.

And what makes Ka...game an idiot

That thinly structured and tall man is no i..diot. He's a good strategist.

If Rwa...nda had some economical strength there'd be no Burundi and some parts of the DRC and Tanzania would have been annexed.

Mostly spec ops.

Sudanese melt down?

CaptainStephen:
Two divisions, Air Component, Naval units. Their estimation is not accurate.

By Division it could mean the skeleton structure.

LTGEN:
Not to get into an argument the "Angel of Death" is a an upgraded AC130 Gunship,
please show with a picture where the US sold an upgraded AC130 to another country.
The picture you just showed is not an AC130
And no Frum they don't just fall of the rack.

My bad. thought you were to the dillion gatling gun.

Other nations can develop or upgrade other aircraft to be gunships.

Imagine a South African version:

like Frum said G7 (105mm howitzer) + Emak35(35mm gun) + pellet(Roll on and off) of stand off missiles(Mokopa ER?) or guided munition(miniaturized Umbani?)

LTGEN:
The U.S. is the only nation that operates the "Angel of Death" and they aint selling it to no one.The technology required to stablize the AC as it pours out 3000 rounds per minute is classified.
The "Angel of Death" was the name allegedly given to it by the Taliban.It mostly operates at night.

Lol like Frum would say "it fell off the back of a truck in Joburg" and our SF now operates it.

Actually many nations have it.

Take a close look at Late Col Abu Ali in this Picture. Standing next to him is Lt Col Abdulsalam AKA Kutus.

Abu Ali spent the last 4 Years of his life doing just two things, Fighting from one front line to the other just so we can sleep in peace and Praying while he Fought.

Take a look at the picture Col. abu is in the scorching sun of the Maiduguri, sipping on pure water and paying attention to the radio message.

Almost all pictures that came out of him, he was seen in this Armoured personal regalia, and in some pictures you could even see how dusty his hair was, how rugged the situation was.

The last four years of his life was full of tactical maneuvers, consistent calculations on how to counter and defeat the enemy. It was a battle front all the way through, he had little or no sleep, he was away from his family for most of the years, yet he kept going and going believing in himself and God Almighty that he would someday emerge victorious.

And I tell you, he was indeed victorious. He emerged a hero and stood out amongst the best.

Today, the whole Country and indeed the world would remember Slim as a hero of our time, the greatest tank commander in recent times and like soldiers refers to him as Nigeria's best friend.

Thank you Slim. You made a mark. You would forever remain close to our hearts as we would continue to pray for you.
RIP Brother

Rest on Gallant Soldier
You are greatly Missed.

Rotate people!!!!!!!!

Also why isn't the police force heavily involved in the COIN OPS?

And why aren't people outraged by the casualties?

..which of the links? A YouTube video?

News site.

Saw a screenshot of a Vickers MBT disabled by BH in one of the links you chaps shared. Came from this latest?

Just sad!!!

Xbee007:
Trust me, we all know was isn't a simple, straightforward, 1+1 affair, especially one that you don't need to beg for recruits. That is why wise men see war as a last resort.

Why do you think they are still investing heavily in "asymmetric warfare"?

Mosquitoes! Ruining another man's day.

Odunayaw:
"It was to this camp right on the Cuando river that Daniel Roxo, Jose Ribeiro, Ponciano Soeiro, Almarinda da Costa and other former Portuguese servicemen as well as DGS operatives were brought to in October of 1974, here they would participate in a cross over course to teach them SADF methods of combat as well as use of South African weapons, they would also have received training in medical, demolitions, special weapons, and tracking. “O rientation and integration are I believe the correct words used to describe the above ”


This could also explain why the hurriedly got into the field..The men weren't new to that trade

One of the reasons reasons 1 recce was killed.

There were Rhodesians too. Former Selous scouts, SAS etc.

Legendary South African Special Forces aka RECCE "Danny Roxo":


In 1951 Roxo was attacked by a LEOPARD, he had no knife or gun on him, leaving him to defend himself with his bare hands. He suffered some heavy wounds, but managed to strangle the beast to death, thus making the first entry in his list of legendary deeds.

In 1975 he was Ambushed by 11 Cuban soldiers after doing an operation to blow up a bridge. After some heavy gunfire went down, the rest of his team ran towards the noise, only to find all 11 dead before him, without him being shot once.

In 1976 his truck got hit by a landmine, and the vehicle landed on top of him, he was still alive for more than an hour, not making one sound of pain. He mustered enough strength to take out a cigarette and upon finishing it, he died.

RECCE?

jakeporeshenko:

Not a lot of details but a mention.

newafricaken254:
then why did denel land systems when describing the length of of T5-52 Gun-Howitzer,not use 52 length 155mm ballistic system but used 52 calibre 155mm ballistic system !? http://www.denellandsystems.co.za/products/artillery

Marketing people can be clueless at times.

Wrong!

The "trainers" in pic two are bearing arms.

Are you ready to sell your soul to the..............

All of a sudden the small population of shi.......as would be oppressed in your country and BOOOM BOOM!!!!

nemesis4u:
actually i was not advocating them for speed boats , becz of their small displacement (tonnage) the MBRL wont be stable .for large speed boats it might work but first they will have to certified and tested.

also IMO normal mortars wont work for the same reason unless some stabilization system is included to compensate for the rollling and pitching of the boats.

There's the Finnish NEMO.

I can't find any source for a man portable Mokopa. Point me in the right direction? A clue and I'll find it tomorrow when I'm at the office and I'll come back here and eat humble pie.

Stealth Ingwe and tangentially FSIM, were projects developed through the Denel Internship programme. Like so many of those, the IP still resides with Denel, and and as you rightly say, await funding.

Me, I think Denel should dust off the archives and sell IP on projects that can't be manufactured in SA, for whatever reasons. Nigeria and others bought the CS/VP3 Bigfoot and we earned royalties; Egypt is about to buy Umbani/al-Tariq from the UAE -its effectiveness demonstrated in Yemen - and we're getting 49%.
Why? Because we don't have the funding mechanisms to sell those products so cheaply as to compete with low-wage China or resource-rich UAE.

I haven't seen any article written about it. Hopefully you'll find old pamphlets about it.

FSIM was supposed to have over the top attack capability.

last I checked they had one person(whom left) in that field(stealth).

frumentius:
ssaengine might have more info, but I don't think there were ever any plans for a man portable Mokopa? I know there were tests on a vehicle-launched version on both Mamba and Casspir, but for various reasons that was abandoned for the Ingwe.

Personally, of all Denel Dynamics products I'm more enthused by the 25kg Impi missile, which combines the [5km]Ingwe ATGM's multipurpose warhead with the [10km]Mokopa's seeker and laser guidance units and Umkhonto SAM's datalink in a 6km range weapon. Ease of logistics as it will equip UAVs (Seeker 400 Snyper), Mambas, Casspirs, Ratels, Badgers, Parabats & Recces.
Hell, one could strap on a few to Oryx and even the pestilential Agusta without heavily compromising transport functions.

There was. Thales convinced people the ER was a better a option.

If they had more funds for the stealth Ingwe we'd probably by now seeing certain of it's features in the company's munitions such as air to ground. I hear those skills are now lost.

No one teaches that.

ssaengine:
When Denel investigated a portable Mokopa system, weight was an issue. Just one of the obstacles.

Would have been light.

A new motor would probably have used.

ssaengine:
Ingwe IPLS - daily bread & butter
Man portable Mokopa - expensive croissant

Not worth having a portable Mokopa in my opinion. More expense to achieve a similar result.

Would have replaced the Milan if someone didn't accept "money for kooldrink".

Remember the IPLS didn't exist in the late 90s and early 00s.

frumentius:
Hear Hear! Although to be honest, Denel took too long developing the Ingwe IPLS.
What is unforgivable is that we recently bought more Milan missiles, even though the Ingwe IPLS has come on-stream .

Man portable Mokopa.

Promised more than the expensive Milan.

jakeporeshenko:
This lineup is more diverse than Nigerian culture... even Tipper truck Fa! NA mechanics have suffered.

The only thing that repeats itself is the Mowag.

Expect that line up to increase.
