"It was a sad day at the SAPS K9 unit in Humansdorp on Monday, 20 March 2023 when one of our own four legged colleague sadly passed away an hour after saving his handler’s life while at the same time, making sure that a housebreaking suspect did not escape arrest. The sad demise of Deacon, a Rottweiler started at about 07:30 on Monday morning when his handler, Sgt Pat Le Grange and Deacon responded to a call of housebreaking allegedly committed in the St Francis Bay area. After being informed that the suspect/s had entered the dense bushes in the area, Sgt Le Grange and Deacon pursued after them. When warnings to exit the bush had failed, the duo crawled into the thicket with Deacon leading the way on a long leash. At some point, the handler heard a loud scream and he hastened to get to his dog. As Sgt Le Grange stood up, the suspect lunged at him with a knife. Deacon who had already been stabbed still got up to protect his handler and once again pounced on the suspect enabling his handler to arrest him. After Sgt Le Grange had secured his arrest, he realised that his dog was bleeding profusely and Deacon was rushed to a nearby vet for treatment. However, after being stabilised and treated about an hour later, brave Deacon suffered a cardiac arrest due his injury and sadly crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Deacon was 1 year and 9 months old and joined the crime fighting team at the Humansdorp K9 unit in July 2022. The 19-year-old suspect was detained on charges of housebreaking, attack on a police official and malicious damage to property (for the death of Deacon). He appeared in the Humansdorp magistrate court on Wednesday, 22 March 2023. Police dogs have proven to be pivotal to the success of operations in a multitude of cases whereby the handlers on their own would never have been successful. They (dogs) have the ability to go into places that ordinarily a human being would not be able to, they have the ability to detect incriminating items or items with evidential value just by using their senses. They are certainly part of the SAPS Family. REST IN PEACE DEACON" 5 Likes

Was reading a journal published by KDF (KDF Journal Vol 1:2023) and I'm glad KDF is trying to learn from history of other wars. Anyway, While I was reading I got Dejavu, Kind of feel like a similar strategy is being deployed by the US against Russia/Putin right now. Soviet-Afghan War, 1979-1989 US-Afghan War 2001-2021 |

Lurker4Long:But despite all the theatrics and the pressure that foreign powers put on the country that Bashir was visiting next, non of those countries ever even attempted to do that. If they couldn't arrest the president of a 3rd world country with no force projection, who would dare arrest Putin and face the consequences? Even the US will not dare if he chooses to attend UNGA meeting in New York. 75 TRIPS TO 22 COUNTRIES IN 7 YEARS: AN INDICTED WAR CRIMINAL’S TRAVELS |

Stargate254:I don't much care for every other country's position. I do however, care very much that my country upholds its own domestic laws, which stipulate that ICC warrants have to be effected. The Zuma administration shamefully broke SA law when it didn't arrest Al-Bashir, and when a court ruled they had to, they bundled him into an airport all while lying that they couldn't find him! I do not find edifying, the spectacle of my government breaking SA law for some genocidal thug. So best they tell Vlad the Thug to make up some excuse and stay home, lest they be forced into a choice between geopolitics and the law. |

Stargate254:The United States does not recognize the ICC. If he chooses to come, which he won't, he may not be allowed into US airspace. However I doubt if the US government will be willing to take such a step because it may trigger the end of a single UNGA venue. |

Extra R1 billion for SAAF to get C-130 Hercules airworthy National Treasury has granted the South African Air Force (SAAF) an extra R1 billion to get its six C-130BZ Hercules transports airworthy, but a decision has not been taken on whether to accept two additional Hercules from the United States as this would require additional funding. National Treasury, in its February budget, allocated an additional R1 billion in 2023/24 to the “medium air transport capability” of the SAAF. Major General Thembelani Xundu on 22 March explained to the Portfolio Committee on Defence and Military Veterans (PCDMV) how funding would be spent on the six remaining C-130s (the SAAF had nine serviceable examples but two have been written off in accidents and one has been cannibalised for spares). The tail numbers of the C-130s that the SAAF wants to be kept flying are 401, 402, 405, 406, 408, and 409. However, between now and 2029, this will cost just over R4 billion. Maintaining and overhauling the C-130 fleet in 2023/24 will cost R455 million and R373 million the following year, Xundu’s presentation revealed. He said that major servicing and upgrade of 405 and 409 can be funded, with major servicing to be done in the UK “by the company that did the upgrade of the BZs in the 1990s” (Marshall Aerospace). 405’s major service and upgrade is scheduled for mid-2024 – this will take about 18 months. 409 has 180 hours left before its major service is required. The SAAF aims to have at least one or two C-130s operational at any time while the others undergo maintenance. 405 is supposed to be serviceable but is currently undergoing maintenance at Denel – this was supposed to be completed in November 2022, but should be finished this month. As for the two surplus C-130H Hercules offered by the United States, Xundu said there are still discussions at the Department of Defence over financing this. “If the Department of Defence takes the decision to take them, the Air Force calculates we will need R900 million extra,” he said. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/aerospace-aerospace/extra-r1-billion-for-saaf-to-get-c-130-hercules-airworthy/ 2 Likes

Russian attack helicopters turned the tide against the LRA – UPDF The Uganda People’s Defence Force’s (UPDF’s) Russian attack helicopter fleet – which now includes Mi-28NEs – helped turn the tide in the fight against the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), the Ugandan military has said. Ugandan Air Force Commander, Lieutenant General Charles Okidi, said “there is no doubt that the introduction of the attack helicopters into the battlefield changed the tides of war in Northern Uganda against the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in favour of the UPDF and continue to do so in the subsequent operations. So, with the acquisition of new air assets, we are ready to serve our beloved country more in that capacity.” Okidi was speaking on 22 March during a passing out parade for 12 newly qualified pilots and 52 technicians who had completed an eight months training course at Soroti Air Force Wing. Okidi commended them for their discipline and resilience during training and urged them to ensure the safety of the newly acquired aircraft. Okidi added that continuous training would help the Air Force provide the much-needed air power for joint operations in supporting ground operations. Mi-28NEs were for the first time seen in Uganda in June 2022 during a visit to Entebbe Air Base by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who was there to thank members of the Air Force for their assistance in neutralising ADF rebels during Operation Shujaa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s Arms Transfers database, Uganda ordered six Mi-28s in 2020, and three were delivered last year. The Mi-28 first flew in November 1982 as a replacement for the Mi-24/25. The Mi-28N Night Hunter day/night version flew in November 1996 and features a radar mounted on the rotor mast. The Mi-28N is armed with up to 16 Shturm and Ataka anti-tank missiles. Shturm is a short-range, radio command-guided missile while the Ataka missile’s guidance is by narrow radar beam. Maximum range of the missile is 8 km. The helicopter can also carry 80 mm or 122 mm rockets and gun pods. The helicopter is equipped with a turreted 30 mm cannon. Other Mi-28 operators include Algeria, Iraq, and Russia. The UPDF has about a dozen Mi-24/35 attack helicopters in service along with several Mi-8/Mi-17s, several AB 206 Jet Rangers, half a dozen Bell 205s, and a couple of Bell 212 helicopters. Five refurbished Huey II helicopters were delivered from 2017. In January 2022, Museveni commissioned a helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility, which is refurbishing UPDF Mi-24 helicopters. The facility at Nakosongola Air Base is a joint venture by the UPDF’s commercial arm, the National Enterprise Corporation (NEC), and Pro-heli International, a Russian company. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/aerospace-aerospace/mi-28-turned-the-tide-against-the-lra-updf/ 3 Likes
