It was the Germans

Describing his “pretty horrific and very stressful” experience to defenceWeb, a traumatised Day explained that while he was waiting for his crew before launching, a charter boat operator arrived, towing a 14 foot radio-controlled speed boat. The black-painted boat featured a radar reflector and a German technician commenced pre-launch activities.

dragon2:


Of course it is quite conveniently the Germans fault.

patches689:


The presence of Germans confirms it.

dragon2:

No it does not, how is it that the person who was shot at and speedily ran off is the one to decide that it is the Germans that shot at him?

dragon2:
From a mile out in the pitch black he identified it as German after being shot at lmao. He may think it is German,but if it was German,they wouldn't have missed.

Crawford-Browne said evidence showed that Barclays Bank of England financed the acquisition of the BAE
Hawk and the BAE/Saab Gripen fighter aircraft.
Commmerzbank of Germany financed the purchase of the four frigates and three submarines.

Societe Generale in France financed Thomson CSF combat suites in the German frigates. Mediocredito Centrale in
Italy backed the purchase of 30 Augusta helicopters.

The sentence does not carry conclusive info to suggest it was a German ship that fire those shells.

Because the large part of your airforce and navy is inoperable obsolete junk

Our loan payments are on schedule and will be completed in 2018

Well done!!! it took you years to wipe out a rebel force, it took South Africa a few days to wipe the M23 of the face of thee earth and took 200 paratroopers a weekend to bring seleka to their knees and beg for a surrender.

Did i say the Germans fired it?
I said it was possible, it could of been German and South African ships firing simultaneously,besides the fishing boat was in the wrong place as well and the captain was fully aware there would be live firing from the South African and German Navies.

Apparently, the South-Africans can't seem to quit embarrassing themselves and the rest of the continent!

27/3/15 - An SA navy vessel fired three rounds 'accidentally' at a South African fishing boat. Fortunately for the fishermen, it seems the Navy can't shoot..

Henry120:




Yet these clowns claim they are getting 6 additional Frigates and OPV's

jln115:

Yes were getting new OPV, IPV,Hydrographic vessel, Torpedos,Transport Aircraft,New Missiles,Upgrading our Valours ect ect

MikeCZAR:


These fishing vessels are such a nuisance during live firing exercises.

Some years back one disturbed SA and Germany navy frigates from using their anti-ship missiles to sink a stripped retired strike craft.

Some African navies don't face this cause they never hold live fire exercises.

Just wait for the exercise brief you'll see how that guy was in a area he wasn't supposed to be.

dragon2:


Considering your navy's penchant for ineptitude, and German efficiency,I wouldn't put by bet on SA NAVY being the saints.

dragon2:


Ha, at least it ours. Already your acquisitons are getting dated,your frigates are outgunned at range and your Gripens ain't BVR capable, and you haven't yet finished paying. You will need another loan to update them cause you guys can't even get transport acquisitions.

Over 10 years now Rangers + SANDF + SF + SAAF have FAILED to wipe out local Rhino poachers reigning supreme on South African homeland soil.

Your Southie record of fighting security threats at home is almost as bad as that of Somalia

Debt upon debt in billions of dollars. No money for new OPV, we have always told you....the current OPV bidding process us a mere talk show, seeing your mounting debt level

Show us the cash !!!

Henry120:


Even more.

3 rounds, yet the inept officers couldn't hit a freaking fishing boat.

I mean, how hard can that be?

patches689:


Where does it say 9 and 9?

It says 18 - this means any combination is possible

When the last numbers were released there were 52 Pilots qualified on the Hawks and waiting for the Gripen

Add to this 22 000 hours budgeted and you see that we are neither broke nor short of skills
