OkpaNsukkaisBae: Lot of reasons sir. Remote and immediate. Immediate reasons: 1. They don't have Uranium 2. Transalantic pipeline doesn't pass thru their countries 3. Aside using Mali for testing lab for malaria drugs and other God-knows-what, they are of little interest to NATO. 3. They don't share border with the largest most prosperous black nation on earth 4. They don't share border with the ECOWAS power house and the present Chairman of ECOWAS. Remote reasons: 1. Burkina Faso civilian government was in total collapse before military take over. Most of the government officials were already resigning or fired just like the Prime Minister. The islamist jihadist activities across the country was really terrible. It was no surprise therefore when the military took over. And they were immediately suspended by ECOWAS and sanctioned by AU. 1 Like |

I just watch the video of the downed NAF 582 MI 171 helicopter, very sad indeed, it was brought down by Ak 47's and couple of MG, probably the pilot must have been shot.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:Yes, u re right. That's the mistake ecowas is trying to correct, irresponsibility of the then ecowas chairman is wat is leading to more coup in the region. If ecowas had taken a more tougher stance on the first coup in the region, seventh coup won't be happening in Niger. Which is giving Niger a clout and courage to challenge Nigeria. Can u imagine that? Niger is to Nigeria how Lesotho is to South Africa. 7 Likes |

This Heli was inducted brand new in 2021, if it had some kind of mechanical issues the pilot would have at least auto rotate and crash land leaving most of the fuselage intact, but from the wreckage it fell straight to the ground meaning pilots were not in control. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Milkor establishes Polish division, signs MoU with Germanyâs AeroData Milkor Polska, the newest addition to the Milkor Group, has kicked off its operations in Poland by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AeroData AG to bring airborne maritime surveillance into the unmanned domain. The MoU was signed at the Paris Air Show in June, bringing together Milkor South Africa and AeroData, which supplies airborne maritime surveillance sensors and systems. AeroData will provide a maritime surveillance solution for the Milkor 380 medium-altitude long endurance (MALE) unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). âWe are bringing new capabilities to Poland, especially in the unmanned aerial domain with our Milkor 380 UCAV,â said JuandrĂ© de Bruyn, Managing Director of Milkor Polska. âEurope is investing a lot into new UAV technologies and our advanced aerospace offerings fits into that space. There is a need in Europe for ITAR (US International Traffic in Arms Regulations) free platforms of this size and calibre.â The Milkor 380 has a payload agnostic architecture, making these collaborations and opportunities possible, the company said. It enables end users to have a wide variety of choices on which payload option to have integrated to fit their specific needs. âThis gives Milkor Polska a unique edge on the UAV market in Europe,â the company added. The flagship Milkor 380 has a wingspan of 18 metres, endurance of up to 35 hours and payload capacity of 210 kg (maximum takeoff weight is 1 300 kg). With such a large payload, a wide array of weapons and equipment can be carried, such as synthetic aperture radar, jammers, electro-optical gimbal etc. Five hardpoints can carry precision guided weapons like the AL TARIQ X-series and HALCON Desert Sting or Thales Belgium FZ602 rocket launchers etc. All avionics, communications and payload integration capabilities of the aircraft have been developed in-house. The Milkor 380 was unveiled in 2018 and started taxi testing in early 2023. Milkor said its new Polish company will serve the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and Europe, with Poland an ideal location to establish a European presence. âWe have been anticipating Polandâs rise as military power in Europe as we have noticed their efforts in the past few years. This trend has recently been confirmed by Poland allocating 4.25% of their GDP to their defence budget, the highest in NATO. We would like to contribute to their successâ, de Bruyn said. He added that Milkor Polska has the potential to give new life to the private defence industry in Poland as it intends to export to the rest of NATO from there. Milkor Polska will be exhibiting at the MSPO exhibition between 5 and 8 September in Kielce, Poland. The company will be showcasing a wide variety of weapons as well as other systems that make up their air, land and sea offerings, giving the Polish industry an opportunity to get acquainted with their newest partner. Milkor has been expanding around the world and now has offices in India, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Poland as well as South Africa. With the shifting geopolitical landscape, Milkor believes it is well positioned to make the most of these changing conditions and is setting its sights on meeting new global defence demands. This has seen its product lineup grow from 40 mm single-and multi-shot grenade launchers to UAVs, armoured vehicles, and patrol craft. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/featured/milkor-establishes-polish-division-signs-mou-with-germanys-aerodata/ 3 Likes

New SAN hydrographic vessel âon trackâ SAS Nelson Mandela (A187), the new SA Navy (SAN) hydrographic survey vessel (HSV), is âon trackâ with hull construction complete. She is the major component of Project Hotel and is being constructed, assembled and fitted at Sandock Australâs Durban shipyard. Armscor is project manager and its Senior Manager: Corporate Communication Liziwe Nkonyana reports in addition to the new HSV, other components of Project Hotel are going well. These include three survey motorboats (SMBs) with the first completed and with the SAN for operational testing and evaluation (OTE). SMBs two and three and the sea boat are complete and âcurrently in preservationâ. They will, Nkonyana, told defenceWeb, be delivered at the same time as the HSV. She chose not to answer defenceWebâs questions on commencement of sea trials and handover of A187. An indication came from SAN Deputy Chief, Rear Admiral Bubele Mhlana, when he updated Parliamentâs Joint Standing Committee on Defence (JSCD) in May. He told parliamentarians the envisaged handover date is March 2025, with an accelerated handover date of October next year targeted. The vessel is due to be launched in March next year and will be taken into the fleet post OTE. Hull construction of A187 is complete with the shipâs funnels still to be positioned and fitted. The funnel points are presently used for equipment access and will be placed when this access route is no longer needed. As far as fitting is concerned, Nkonyana said most ancillary equipment including piping, flooring, electrical equipment, bracketing, cable tray laying, equipment placement as well as pre-installation activities are currently being installed or underway. The final Project Hotel component â an upgrade of the SAN hydrographic office â has been handed to the maritime service and is operational. In total the hydrographic upgrade will cost R2.7 billion with the bulk â R1.9 billion â disbursed by May. Nelson Mandela, built to the Vard Marine 9 105 design, will be equipped with state-of-the-art survey equipment including multi- and single-beam echo sounders as well as side-scan sonar and a seabed sampler to recover seafloor and underlying sub-strata material for detailed analytical and testing purposes. The 95m long vessel has a strengthened bow to allow for operations in the Southern Ocean in the vicinity of Antarctica. With a 10 000 nautical mile range and rated top speed of 18 knots, long voyages present no problem. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/featured/new-san-hydrographic-vessel-on-track/ 3 Likes

RDM developing artillery ammunition with 150+ km range Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) continues to evolve its ammunition portfolio, with the development of a ramjet-powered 155 mm artillery round that will have a range of 155 km keeping the company at the forefront of long-range artillery ammunition. In 2019 RDM set a world record for artillery, firing a rocket-assisted 155 mm projectile out to 76 km. Now it is aiming to double that distance with the new ramjet round. âIâm very proud of our artillery ammunition,â outgoing RDM CEO Jan-Patrick Helmsen recently told military attaches during a tour of the companyâs Boskop facility. âWe have the longest artillery arms in the world.â However, he said the company has seen competition slowly creeping in for its VLAP (Velocity Enhanced Artillery Projectile) ammunition and so is looking at other technologies like ramjet propulsion to stay ahead. Although the ramjet round has a longer range than conventional artillery, is has reduced payload. However, the ramjet round is much cheaper than missiles with similar range. Some test firing of the new RDM ramjet rounds has taken place, but further work is still ongoing, as it is a challenging endeavour to perfect ramjet technology. There are very few other companies exploring the use of ramjets for artillery. Boeing and Nammo are two that have collaborated on 155 mm ramjet artillery shells, which will have ranges of up to 150 km. Their Ramjet 155 round is to be compatible with all existing NATO 155 mm guns. India is also exploring the technology, and aims to have rounds capable of reaching in excess of 60 km. RDM believes it ramjet rounds will be able to achieve some of the longest ranges on the market. RDMâs experience with rocket technology is assisting its ramjet work. RDM supplies rocket components to South African and international companies, including Denel Dynamics and Thales. It manufactures rocket motors, warheads and launchers, including for FZ-90 rockets, and motors, propellants, warheads and safety and arming devices for the Umkhonto, Ingwe, Mokopa, C-RAM and A-Darter missiles manufactured by Denel. RDM rocket expertise is also incorporated into 68 mm and 127 mm rockets, FT5 anti-tank weapons and the Plofadder minefield breaching system. More recently, it has worked with the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) on its Phoenix sounding rocket series, which have been launched from the Denel Overberg Test Range. RDM and the UKZN are cooperating on rocket propulsion, including a liquid propellant rocket engine project named SAFFIRE (South African First Integrated Rocket Engine). Rocket technology is also making its way into RDMâs mortar range. Few countries manufacture rocket-assisted mortars, some being China, Serbia, South Korea and Iran, but now RDM has a rocket-assisted 120 mm mortar that extends range to 15 km, although RDM hopes to increase range to 20 km. The companyâs mortar range covers 60, 81 and 120 mm rounds. Although RDM prides itself on range, lethality and accuracy, it says it is good at lethality and range with its mortars but not precision. However, it is collaborating with Northrop Grumman to create a highly accurate 120 mm âsniper mortarâ. Other new products include an airbust 40 mm grenade round ideal for obscured targets. (RDM manufactures low, medium and high velocity 40 mm rounds.) The company says the airburst round is easily programmable, simple to integrate and is jam/spoof resistant. A device is fitted on the launcherâs Picatinny rail and rounds are programmed as necessary. Another relatively new product is a self-destruct 40 mm round â this ensures that no unexploded rounds are left on the battlefield. A staple product for RDM has been the Mk 80 series of aircraft bombs, available in Mk 81 (120 kg), Mk 82 (250 kg), Mk 83 (440 kg) and Mk 84 (880 kg) weights. The company has now developed a small (50 kg) lightweight bomb that is ideal for small aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It has also come out with a âbunker busterâ precision strike warhead that can penetrate up to 1.8 metres using a delayed fuse. Helmsen told defenceWeb that RDM is already talking to potential customers on the new aircraft bomb range. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/editors-pick/rdm-developing-artillery-ammunition-with-150-km-range/ 3 Likes
