I think the 5 referred to these 2 plus the 3 deployed in DRC.
We were being told only 4 flying.

jl115:
aren't 2 deployed in Moz as well?

GreenandGold:
Are these Rooivalks? How did they get here? It must be juju

I'm NIgerian .....and i would prefer the Rooivalks to any Western attack chopper....If i was President i'll go into an agreement with the builders and ensure that it becomes the official attack helo for Nigeria

jl115:
when our special friend sees this he will freak out but as good as the Rooivalk is Denel unfortunately is in despair!

That's why you aren't the President.

IGpro1:
why should anyone freak out.
Rooivalk was supposed to be an African pride,
But Denel killed that dream, and your Govt is almost done burying it.
It's rugged
Somewhat reliable,having not heard of any,crashing in recents times.
South Africa is being managed poorly and if something isn't done your defence industry would be just making bullets for your guns.

Though most of your equipment had massive foreign support systems, by now your country should have been 70% self sufficient.

And then the AU would have been a good booster to Denel, like showcasing those weapons during their meetings, rather than then discussing Israel or China.

Guys remember someone on this group asked what's the probability of Russia invading Ukraine ?
And I answered it's a 50/50 event outcome but it's happening already. There movement of Russian troops into Ukraine territory and explosions. Ukraine president just declared a state of emergency.

"not invading"..... Just peacekeeping!!!

Why is Russia attacking Ukraine?

Anyone following this operation keenly enough to help break down the reasons for this military invasion?

Thanks for being civil. The "hate" between Nigeria and SA is holding back the partnership which these two countries need to forge to bring Africa to limelight. If you turn the African map to the side it looks like a gun with Nigeria being the trigger and SA the muzzle. These two countries need to work together in every area from Telecoms to Banking to Military. We should have all types of pact...economic, industrial etc. Now back to the matter at hand...rather than "waste" money buying from the Ruskies or the Yankees(and their younger siblings) we should assist Denel to open another production unit in Nigeria...have a TOT which will help speed up our growing aviation industry. This would be a win win for both Countries and foster closer ties. The helo is a capable one and can be further improved upon...Nigeria is fighting a war and this helo can be used and based on combat information new additions can be made which would definetely help further design of this helo......It is an African thing and we should be proud of it. My 20 cents......If i was President that is the route i would take.
