Nice ...... Now this is how it's done;

In my opinion, I think the design team at DICON is slowly, but surely, upping their game. There is definitely a marked improvement compared to some prototypes released years ago. I'm willing to bet that later designs will be far more impressive. Kudos to them.

It stinks to the extent the smell can suffocate a bug

I remember one of the videos where our troops were chasing a landcruiser with a Scorpion tank!

That video cleared my doubts about tracked vehicles being fast

What sought of joke is this
The first pic, Nigeria has more hunger stricken people than Afghanistan. I disagree

The second pic, Nigeria facing the right direction, a score of 5% only. I totally disagree

Let me guess, your source is "SIPRI" right

Gambia orders Hizir APCs

Gambia has apparently become the latest customer for Turkey’s Hizir armoured personnel carrier, after ordering 20 of the type.

Africa Intelligence reported last year that Gambia was ordering 20 Hizir vehicles from Katmerciler, and Turkish defence publication DefenceTurk reported earlier this month that the agreement was signed in August 2021.

It went on to state that photos showed Hizir vehicles in Gambian camouflage, indicating testing and deliveries were underway. The apparent order comes after a March 2021 visit by a Gambian military delegation to Turkey that discussed bilateral cooperation.

Since 1965, both countries have maintained good relations bilaterally and multilaterally, especially at the United Nations and Islamic Cooperation Organization. Turkish military officers have provided training since the 1990s and between 1991 and 2007, Turkish military trainers trained around 7 000 Gambian soldiers. After the expiry of the training agreement between two countries in 2007, Gambian troops started receiving training in Turkey and since then more than 500 Gambian soldiers have visited Turkey for training. In January, 250 Gambian soldiers arrived in Turkey to receive counter-terrorism training.

In 2014, defence cooperation was further deepened, and the Gambia Armed Forces (GAF) and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Turkey signed a bilateral agreement for the provision of logistical assistance to the Gambia Armed Forces. Turkey also donated $600,000 to help Gambia with its peacekeeping mission in Mali and other logistical issues.

In April this year, Turkey provided security equipment to Gambia that included shields, gas masks, radios and other items. Other donations have included thousands of uniforms, tents, water bottles and other equipment. In 2019 it was announced that Turkey had provided $1.4 million in military assistance to The Gambia, the content of which was not disclosed.

Gambia is the latest Hizir customer in Africa after Kenya and Uganda also acquired the type. Kenya ordered 118 last year, for delivery in 2022-23, while Uganda ordered 30, with deliveries in 2020 in the type’s first export sale.

The Hizir recently entered service with Turkey’s military. It can carry nine personnel, including driver and commander. The vehicle has a gross weight of 16 tons and has a V-hull for landmine and improvised explosive device protection. It is powered by a Cummins six-cylinder diesel developing 400 hp, giving a top speed of 110 km/h and range of 700 kilometres.

Morocco receives VL MICA missiles, Sherpa vehicles from France

Morocco’s armed forces are taking delivery of Sherpa armoured vehicles and VL MICA air defence systems from France following contracts signed some two years ago.

Defensa last month reported that the first batch of Sherpa vehicles had arrived in Morocco and were seen being transported to military bases in the North African country. In 2020 it was reported that Morocco had ordered 36 Sherpa armoured vehicles from France’s Arquus, in Light Scout and Light Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) models.

According to reports from Morocco, the first two VL MICA batteries arrived in recent weeks after being ordered in 2020 at a cost of 192 million euros. It is understood that four batteries are being acquired from MBDA.

The VL MICA system comprises of a series of truck-mounted elements, including a tactical operations centre, Sagem SIGMA 30 radar, and launcher vehicles that can carry between three and six multi-round launchers with the missiles in clusters of four rounds. The MICA fire-and-forget missile, capable of being fitted with either a heat-seeking homing head or with an active radar seeker head, has an interception range of up to 20 km.

Morocco has also ordered 40 Caesar 155 mm artillery systems for 170 million euros and ammunition worth 30 million euros from Nexter.

France and Morocco enjoy close economic and defence ties – between 2008 and 2018, France sold Morocco some 1.8 billion euros worth of military equipment, including two satellites. Morocco acquired three Harfang (Heron) unmanned aerial vehicles from France in January 2020 and in March 2021 ordered 300 VLRA-2 4×4 light tactical military vehicles from Arquus to strengthen the firepower and mobility of its special forces units.

UN to explore expanding use of SA service providers at Procurement Summit

The United Nations will examine how it can further expand the base of South African companies that provide it with goods and services at the UN Procurement Summit on Friday 24 June, which will be attended by top officials from the UN’s supply chain division.

Atul Khare, the UN’s Under Secretary General for Operational Support, noted that the UN will always be guided by best value for money, but is keen to see how it can expand the base of South African suppliers in different areas, such as communications, armoured vehicles, and air transport.

Speaking at the launch of the sixth international Partnership for Technology in Peacekeeping Symposium 2022, which runs from 21 to 24 June at the CSIR in Pretoria, Khare said the Procurement Summit on Friday will encourage more South African companies, both public and private, to participate in tenders and sell the UN solutions.

Christian Saunders, Assistant Secretary General for Supply Chain Management, said the UN Secretariat purchases $2.7 billion worth of goods and services every year while the UN as a whole has an $18 billion annual procurement spend, with peacekeeping amounting to $6 billion.

“We buy thousands of different things every year,” he said, with South African companies receiving about $40 million a year in contracts, which is a relatively small amount. “We think the business community in South Africa has much more to offer. We buy everything from foodstuffs to transportation, aviation services, fuel,” Saunders added.
