Yes they were white mercenaries from Zimbabwe, Portugal, and USA.

Also, 60% of South African army in battle during Angolan Bush war, were actually black men, mostly Angolan citizens.

South Africa was hiring foreign white and black men as mercenaries for the bush war, stop claiming glory by stealing as usual, the 60% glory of SADF belongs to mercenaries most of whom were black Angolans. SADF was giving out it's army uniform freely to foreign mercenaries that saved South Africa from the young hand of an inexperienced Cuban army of teenagers and girls, beautiful young girls grin grin

"3. Contrary to popular believe, most SADF soldiers fighting the Bushwar, were non-white volunteers, with as much as 60% by the closing years of the war."

Where does it say they were Angolan? numerous black South Africans (mainly zulu) in 121 Battalion and Namibians (mainly Ovambo) in 101 Battalion as well as Coloreds in South African Cape Corps (3 battalions of men) served in SADF ranks. While the SWATF was a whole new army we built composed entirely of Namibians.

And it clearly says - volunteers- no mention of mercenaries or angolans

Stop telling lies you shamless satan!! How dare you on this holy day come and spew filth before us!! Away with you demon!

SADF used foreign mercenaries hired to help South African army in bush war against Angola.

Southies want to take all the glory ? No way ! Foreign mercenaries COMMANDED South African troops in Angolan war !

"There was always a sprinkling of whites originating from countries like Great Britain, the old Rhodesia, Portugal and the USA amongst its leadership cadre, although in the latter stages of its existence this shrank to only a few. "

Bwahahahaha grin grin

Your own source actually confirms NO MOKOPA MISSILE FOR SANDF !


"On the other hand, SAAF chief Lieutenant General Carlo Gagiano saw only limited short-term opportunity for Mokopa with the land services. Most armies won't use it optimally, he noted. Land-to-land targeting at 5.5km, as with Ingwe, is already a very long range for target acquisition. You cant's see much further in the dust and glare of the battlefield. With Mokopa you go over-the-horison and then your communications and command-and-control has to be very advanced.

Wessels adds the SAAF is interested in the system for Lynx “but want us to succeed somewhere else first”, as it does not have the cash on hand to pay for the integration costs. This is in line with comments made by SAAF chief Lieutenant General Carlo Gagiano on that subject."


The whole 10km long range idea of Mokopa is actually a foolish project idea of Soweto mumus, it cannot work on battlefield, I have always said South African's noise about weapon range like artillery and etc in land battle is foolishness that will fail in battlefield realities, now South African air force chief of staff agrees with Augustine !

SOURCE : Defenceweb news on Mokopa PGM.....your own source....thank you bro !
Hey said other militaries cannot use it because you need advanced equipment

And he specifically said he wants to see it on the lynx.

PL-9C is faster than IRIS-T, so how does a slower missile catch up in race with a faster missile ?

my sources includes the newtork times, an anti Cuba press establishemt and several western media houses who supported south Africa in that war.

Give up this fight, It has been established that Chester Crocker wrote the war for some west press.


When the cibans first flushed you out in 1975/6, you were still using 1956 British outdated tanks. You upgraded in 1977 and mounted another invasion in Angola and got beaten again.

Keep coming.
Exept as I have just shown your sources contradict what you are saying.

The Cubans flushed us out during OP Savannah? Citation needed

The SADF never had any intention of invading Angola - we launched incursions to support UNITA and to find and destroy PLAN bases. All 35 of these operations were succesfull - we never lost a battle.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 11:37am On Apr 05, 2015

and where did I say you lost 11,000 men? You had several years planing the invasion of Angola after the Cubans defeated you in 1975/6.


Your sources are inadmissible because ot has already been established that the sandf and cia with help from an American diplomat Chester Crocker attempted to deceive the world by rewriting the events of that war.
Your sources say 10 000 dead and 500 tanks destroyed. By using the source you confirm it.

What invasion of Angola?

We never had any major plans for such - we still however launched no less than 35 major incursions into Southern Angola to support UNITA and to fight PLAN.

And when did the Cubans defeat us? Operation Savannah?
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 11:36am On Apr 05, 2015
lezz:
are you implicitly admitting that south Africa lost the war? This is the faintest effort of grace you have displayed thus far here.
Or maybe today being Sunday has deaden your usual urge for denial.

Because after south Africa was defeated decisively, the Angolan civil commenced.
You don't want to use that as your cover now, do you?
Again, dipsh1t, where is this decisive defeat you speak of? Your own source confirms we won the battle we set out to fight and then partially succeeded in meeting our secondary objective.

Not to mention that the Cubans consented to the terms we had demanded since the 1970's - that we would pull out of Namibia if they would pull out of Angola.

Now do you want more?
Later, in September, the Angolans were defeated by the combined force of South Africans and Angolan rebels in the battle of the Lomba River, according to accounts by all sides.

With the Angolans in retreat, the South Africans and the Savimbi forces then tried to capture Cuito Cuanavale, the stronghold from which the Government offensive had been mounted. But the Angolans, backed by Cubans and Soviet advisers, put up a spirited defense, and the South Africans decided that the town was not worth the casualties that its capture would require.

http://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/12/world/south-africa-s-strategy-on-angola-falls-short-enhancing-cubans-role.html

Your own source destroys your entire argument. Where is the major military defeat? Where are the mention of huge South African losses?

Quito was an anciliary objective - and it was easyer and less costly to knock out the Cuban/Angolan airfeild there through the use of long range artillery.

Yes Game over for SAAF, your jets and A-Darter get roasted mid-air by NAF from 35 km BVR range away. The A-Darter fuel and explosive will add to the burning of your Gripen and Hawks in the mid-air oven and furnace.




Ground and air launched PL-9C missiles are the same size, same misile, same fuel load, same speed, same shape, same specifications, same name PL-9C......nothing like PL-9D or PL-9E.....nothing like one for air one for land, all are same name PL-9C same product , same fuel, same range, fuel load determines range of an missile. Fact of basic science.

Your 5th generation missile A-Darter will die before launch with your SAAF pilot, both your jet and the Darter missile will be b.lown to pieces by F-7 jet PL-9C missile even before your pilot can fire his short-legged 20 km range freaking A-Darter missile, NAF PL-9C kills from 35 km away and the PL-9C specs have 90% kill-probability.

NAF flies safely outside the freaking 20 km range of your freaking A-Darter missile......bad luck for SAAF !

According to South Africans, weapon range does not matter when it is Nigeria that has the range advantage. Freaking fools, your air force is dead in the air when you face NAF.....you have to learn now that we are your air masters. Go hug electricity transformer, it's an easier way to commit suicide than getting b.lown out of the sky by Nigerian air force BVR missiles !

According to your stats the max altitude is 6km - its there right in your picture

Nigeria has no 35km air to air missile. Only in your head it is real. But let's pretend.....

A Darter is a 5th generation missile with self defence capability. PL-9 has NO/ZERO self defence capability. Gripen and Hawk will defend themselves and proceed to turn your F-7 jets into scrap metal. Only one dying will be F-7 pilots. Iris-T and A Darter....self defence capability. By the way...where are your JF-17's? You said you would have them by the time Denel starts producing A Darter for SAAF.


http://www.janes.com/article/50334/denel-gets-a-darter-production-contract

"Denel Dynamics was awarded a five-year production contract on 19 March by Armscor for the A-Darter air-to-air missile.

Developed under Project Kamas, the missile will initially arm the South African Air Force's (SAAF's) Saab Gripen C/D fighters, complementing the small batch of IRIS-T missiles acquired as interim armament from Diehl BGT Defence.

The A-Darter will also be integrated with the SAAF's Hawk Mk 120 jets, giving the advanced trainers a self-defence capability and allowing their use in some airspace patrol roles.
"


Game over. Find a hole to crawl into.
Ha!!

We shoot down the PLC-9 missiles with the A-darter.

And then shoot down the F-7's with the A-dart.
