Hadn't realized that. They were like twenty of that type in that exercise alone.
How do these guys import stuff without anyone knowing. Then suddenly like boom! they show it off to the public

Defence companies always have systems,ready to be sold.

So buying off-the-shelf hardware is quick and "silent".

They seem to perform really well in combat,the Tanzanians are using them in the DRC.

sirjerry:
Go buy aviation fuel first before talking of GBADS.

Starstreak now operational.

Expect the army to take delivery of the Umkhonto missile soon for similar OT&E.

More butt hurt for YOU!!!!

sirjerry:
Go and cool your temper in a gym.

ISOLATED!

Thiza:
A Army Chief, Lieutenant General Vusi Masondo, yesterday officially took the Starstreak ground-based air defence missile system into the landward forces inventory.

The handover took place at 10 Anti-Aircraft Regiment headquarters at Diskobolos, Kimberley as is part of the Army’s drive to rejuvenate its hardware, alluded to by Masondo last month when he met the media.

The system, according to an Army statement, comes in two configurations: a multiple launcher unit and a shoulder-launched unit. This is a very short range air defence (VSHORAD) system that will be utilised by the Air Defence Artillery Formation as a fire unit to defend critical installations.

The system came to South Africa early in 2004. It then underwent extensive modification and enhancement at Denel Land Systems to adapt it to African conditions and the specification requirements of the Air Defence Artillery Formation to the point where it is now ready to be taken into service with a six kilometre range.

The testing phase saw both the multiple launcher and shoulder-launched unit trialled at AFB Zwartkop and Denel’s Overberg Test Range as well as the Air Defence Artillery range at Riemvasmaak in Northern Cape

Now fully operational!!!!!

Expect the same with the Gripen. New sensors,avionics and new weapons, might be integrated to bring up to operational standard.

GBADS!!!!!!!!!!!

sirjerry:
Isolated? well, what did i expect from you, who thinks sacrificing your national pride is being diplomatic.

ISOLATED!!!!!

ThaVluit:
You know, Msauza, he said something peculiar that I still haven't recovered from, well from the blow of it.

He said "PRESTIGIOUS Nigerian University".

When I googled this, the picture below came up.

ROTFL

ThaVluit:
They are not refined diplomats, the Nigerians.

That's why they're isolated today.

agaugust:
Now South Africans who boasted before, have to eat the humble pie



.

what?

patches689:
Except none of that is written history

If it was you would be able to provide proof of your claims

And btw, NATO invading if the Soviets attacked us?? Are you on crack?? Seriously brah, lrn2M.A.D

Remember rumours of USA special forces accompanying stinger missiles in Angola?

ActivateKruger:
The fact that they couldn't defeat Savimbi on their own says a lot. I mean Savimbi had no allies, very little cash to fund his operations but was able to resist the Angolan military until external forces were brought in to kill him. So there's no way under the sun Angola (and Nigeria) could stand against the SANDF.

10/10!!!!!

agaugust:
Today 2014, South Africa CANNOT defeat Angola in war, they will grind SANDF to powder

.

The SANDF can reach Luanda within weeks.

They have equipment but maintenance is a problem for them.

NaijaPikinGidi:
More like Cowards of AFRICA.

The ones sent to military courts-martial in Abuja for refusing to fight BH? Yes.


Protecting AFRICA!!!!

While others are protected by their wives,fearing combat with poor insurgents.

NaijaPikinGidi:
Fantasy! Excuses!! You got beat up and ran away! NA is still standing and doing the hard job! Huge difference between your photo-force and our Armed Force.

No one ran away.

The Chief of the SANDF, said it well on that monday that: All SANDF units are still on the ground, and those slightly wounded were treated on ground and those who needed serious medical attention were flown back to SA.

More troops and equipment were at the same time being deployed around CAR.

The SANDF didn't run nor retreat out of CAR,they simply followed their political masters' commands.

If an order came to crash Seleka. The rebels were badly hurt from the Friday and Saturday fighting, destroying them was an easy task.

NaijaPikinGidi:
And CAR couldn't be protected? Keep running and mouthing-off rubbish. Protect yourselves first.

Politics before application of force.

The SANDF deployed Gripens,Rooivalks,a battalion and more to strike and re-install civilian rule in CAR.

But the AU and ECCAS couldn't agree on a follow up force and for the SANDF to kill the mauled Seleka.

Protectors Of AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

NaijaPikinGidi:
Fool. Dlamini-Zuma is the messenger! A messenger of her type cannot assume to be boss by anyone's imagination. But the Boss of the AU troops is for sure the master-architrect, planner, controller and operational BOSS. And Nigeria holds that position. Live with that!!

No.

He salutes and takes orders from a Saffer.

He holds no Command and control over AU forces.

Henry120:
Dummy,

So it's now a conspiracy against you HIV carriers?

Comments are hidden for many different reasons, you should learn to read the forum rules.

Terrorists hosts?

Together with roasted dog, already Naijapindish is going nuts.

Served with kola nuts and a side dish of pounded yam.

Beverage: Palm wine

andrewza:
why are there so many banned posts now?

Some lad, raised the issue some time last week. That Saffers get banned for no apparent reason.

PrinxArthur1:
This looks like Chinese I.F.V?

Yes,it is!

NaijaPikinGidi:
Face the music ... don't come talking trash and then get angry when your home facts are presented to you! Allies?? I'm not sure what you are smoking.

Protectors of Africa.


Unlike those struggling to deal with poor insurgents.

ActivateKruger:
It has a sushi bar as well, with real Asians serving it.

Yes.

NaijaPikinGidi:
Orders/approval come from African leaders collectively ... Dlamini-Zuma basically documents and communicates the resolutions and orders! Get your head checked.

Yes,that's the boss.

Similar to how,it is politicians who decide to go or declare war. Military action is part of the equipment found in a bigger political solution tool kit.

So an order will only come from Zuma.

North,West,Central and East Africa are just shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii regions,compared to Southern Africa.

Southern Africa. [Africa's most prosperous region]

NaijaPikinGidi:
If in 5 years NA couldn't save 13,000 people from insurgents and terrorists, I am afraid for the South African population each year! As of 2014 alone, your gangsters and criminals have wiped at more than 13,000 South Africans.

Protect yourselves first, practice just what you preach! CAR is waiting!

Military thread =/= Policing problem.

PROTECTING AFRICA WITH OUR ALLIES!!!!!

GreenandGold:
Are those alouette III helicopters previously operated by the SAAF?

Not sure.

But SAAF donated Alouette III helos to them. Rumours last year, where that they were secretly transferred to Zimbabwe.

I was at Nelspruit Grove's spar last week,it is really nice.

DieVluit:
Kwaaks who dat iz?

You wouldn't laugh mate! If you knew the story behind that pic.

South Africa "qualifies" their SF at times along with soldiers from Lesotho.
