patches689:i'm sure you will agree with me that every war scenerio is quite different. Technicals have their own advantages over heavier armour, but their uses are limited. Not all conflict is insurgency related. Some countries still have real enemies to combat. (go tell north korea to start buying technical) Light armoured skinned and fast vehicles cannot be used in the initial stage of any war so whats the point. Here in Nigeria the military started making gains against the terrorists up north when the introduced the T-72 tank. While the technicals were being eaten up by 14.2mm and 23mm tripple A's. And remember not all part of Africa is desert. We have marshland and swamps abundant. Please answer this question and be honest. During an ambush, which type of vehicle will you rather be in? A olifant tank or caspir mrap? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by lionel4power(m): 11:52pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
patches689:okay, but lets not confuse innovations and military doctrine. A tank has multiple uses, conventional, asymmetrical, coin et.c but a light armour cannot withstand MULTIPLE RPG hits like a tank can do. New technology will definitely come out to defeat tanks, so will new tanks armour to defeat the new techs. patches689:please does wheeled vehicles have any tactical advantage over track vehicle in swampy area like the creeks in southern Nigeria? The best advise is a mix of both track and wheel like Nigeria does. |

If south africa has only 10 or 12 units of rooivalk and deployed some for UN, how many do they have in-country? How do they cope with shortages? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Centrifude(m): 12:54am On Jun 23, 2015 |
lionel4power: Uhm Shortages for what? We're not at war with anyone, plus its only three that are out of the Country, the rest are back here left for training. Not forgetting that the Defence Review calls for more attack helicopters. So we'll definitely be seeing more choppers coming in, whether inside or outside the Country. |

lionel4power:It is actually 11, one was lost in an accident during OT&E. 3 are deployed. 1 is stationed at the SAAF TFDC(Test Flight and development centre). The rest are with 16 squadron. Shortage in terms? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 8:55am On Jun 23, 2015 |
africaken:That has been helped with the fact that all gunships are under the army (and not the air-force) - 35 MD-500 and 4 Z-9 -light attack guships , So the gunships go where ever the army wants them to go, sometimes, the gunships are literally part of the convoy, when troops camp to rest, the gunships also camp to rest anywhere in the bush 5o Air Cavalry Battalion (50 ACB) The ethiopians came under something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxDaQsdEswg |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by lionel4power(m): 9:47am On Jun 23, 2015 |

lionel4power:What are "in-country needs" for an attack helicopter? The remaining are used for training, exercises, developmental purposes etc. The pilots who fly them are highly experienced with a lot of flying hours like the fighter pilots. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 11:37am On Jun 23, 2015 |
lionel4power:SAAF didn't need that much. Only 12 were ordered. To be taken seriously? Lots of money is needed to put up a real production line to produce standardised helicopters. The previous had to be standardised when they were operationalised. |

lionel4power: Dude what part of the Defence Review Calls for more numbers don't you understand. Judging by how paranoid our politicians are, I'm sure they'll support reopening the assembly line instead of going to another country. Don't worry the numbers will increase in due time, things take time. Nothing good comes easy or fast. |

NDI is critical for the integrity and credibility of aircraft component performance in flight and hence an essential aspect of air safety. The Kenya Air Force has specialized skills and equipment to perform various aspects of NDI inspections to ensure safety and optimum aircraft performance. The range of NDI specialization performed at KAF include Oil Analysis Inspections, Eddy Current Analysis Inspections, Magnetic Particle Inspections, Aircraft X-Ray Inspections, Dye Penetrant Inspections, Spectrometric inspections, Ultra-sonic Inspections among others. 1.a technician performing oil analysis using an oil analyzer. Engine and all other types of fluids helps in the determination of the internal tear and wear pattern of an aircraft engine or hydraulic systems. 2.A technician performing Ultra-sonic inspections to detect internal cracks in an aircraft component as part of NDI. 3.Checking for invisible cracks on an aircraft crankshaft using magnetic particle test technology. 4.A technician explains an Xray photograph of an aircraft component he has just X-rayed. X-raying is an integral part of NDI for the determination of structural integrity of an aircraft. 5.Technicians perform dye penetrant inspection to check for cracks on an aircraft component. http://196.202.202.44/airforce/?page_link=technology |

As Kenya celebrates its fifty years since independence, Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has not been left behind either. The KDF celebrates Women who have been part of their larger fraternity since its inception and particularly in the Kenya Air Force. The following prolific Air Force women officers and servicewomen have given the service a new image putting a mark in all aspects of job performance, training and trade spectra.
