snydergp1st:[b] -- from Isreal to Iran is 1500km too -- lol iron dome is a fraud -- Iran has the best surface to surface missiles in the whole region Gaza Rockets Penetrate Israeli Defense System Due to Iron Dome Malfunction Two rockets hit Be'er Sheva school and residential neighborhood; senior official to Haaretz: Iron Dome cannot provide absolute protection. Two rockets hit Be'er Sheva school and residential neighborhood; senior official to Haaretz: Iron Dome cannot provide absolute protection. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/gaza-rockets-penetrate-israeli-defense-system-due-to-iron-dome-malfunction-1.417864 Israeli Rocket Defense System Is Failing at Crucial Task, Expert Analysts Say Although it appears to hit incoming Hamas rockets, Israel’s system could be falling short of detonating the rockets’ warheads. Iron Dome air defense system Flawed technology: Analysts question whether Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system, seen here firing to intercept a rocket headed for Tel Aviv, is achieving its aims. Even though Israel’s U.S.-funded “Iron Dome” rocket- defense interceptors appear to be hitting Hamas rockets in recent days, they are almost certainly failing in the crucial job of detonating those rockets’ shrapnel- packed explosive warheads, expert analysts say. As a result, rockets fired from Gaza are probably plunging to the ground with intact explosives. The fact that they aren’t causing injuries or deaths in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and other cities is mainly a matter of luck, the analysts add. www.technologyreview.com/news/528916/israeli-rocket-defense-system-is-failing-at-crucial-task-expert-analysts-say/ -- IRON DOME WAS A MASSIVE FAILURE THATS WHY THE USA WHO FUNDED IT IS NOT USING IT. --IRAN HAS THE BEST SURFACE TO SURFACE MISSILES IN THE WHOLE REGION... BOTH IN QUALITY AND QUANTITY. -- IRAN WOULD BOMBARD ISREAL INTO ARMAGEDDON AND STILL HAVE REASONS TO BUILD NUKES. --IRAN IS TYE REGIONAL SUPER POWER THATS WHAT THE IRAN-IRAQ WAR WAS ABOUT IRAN SHABBAB MISSILE IS 1600KM RANGE IRAN SAJJIL MISSILE IS 3700KM RANGE IRAN HAS ISREAL IN ITS KILLZONE... ITS JUST THE FEAR OF MORE SANCTIONS THAT'S STOPPING IRAN.[/b] |

lionel4power:Israel claims that of the purported 3,500 rockets fired from Gaza during its latest military operation, 90 percent of those that would have hit population centres were neutralised by the Iron Dome system http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/08/israel-iron-dome-gaza-rockets-201481712494436388.html Iron Dome Failing Toppest of LOL's Also, you are ignoring SPYDER and Arrow and David's Sling which also make up their air defence system You see, the Jews have an INTEGRATED air defense system composed of multiple layers of defenses. Any missile headed towards Isreal has to defeat 4 layers of air-defence missiles (excluding fighters) before it hits the ground. |

Patchesagain:Nope, that list makes you 18th ranked exporters out of 20, you are almost bottom of the table ![]() The ranking is NOT for weapons manufacturing, it is for export only, and many of the South African exports on SIPRI are sales of weapons you imported from Europe, Alouette helicopters from France resold to Zimbabwe, Cheetah jets are France's rebuilt Mirage jets resold to Ecuador, Mirage F1Z from France resold to Gabon, Impala jets are Italian jets resold to other countries in large numbers, all those are among the export sales used to rank South Africa 18th, yet those weapons are imported by you originally made in Europe....I found out this records on SIPRI database.....most of South African made exports are MRAPs, you are merely a big time MRAP exporter, all other weapons are low value transactions including cheap missiles. Weapons manufacturing, Egypt is the biggest in Africa, I proved it with citations, Egypt built jet fighter engines, tens of thousands tactical missiles, dozens of ballistic missiles and a thousand modern tanks, and many thousands of APC/IFV. Iran locally manufactures more missiles and drones than South Africa, Iran makes dozens of types of main battle tanks, IFV/APC, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, long range ballistic missiles, missile armed drones, stealth drones, warships, light jet fighter aircraft....South Africa is far far behind Iran which is not listed on the top 20 table. Stop deceiving yourselves ! IRAN HAS BUILT MANY SUBMARINES !

Patchesagain:Hamas or Hezbollar home made rockets are unguided and crap, they have no electronic countermeasures to challenge intercepting missiles. Iran builds sophisticated missiles and likely the biggest missile producer in the 3rd world....100 years ahead of South Africa . |

jln115:You merely paid cash to buy the shares because your ANC law forces foreign companies to sell majority shares to South Africans. BAE technology remains imported from Britain, you import British technology, call the company any name you like, DENEL or whatever, it is still British technology being imported by you, British engineering brains doing the job while you claim the glory for South Africa, thief ! |

agaugust:Where in our fvcking law does it state that foreign companies must sell majority of their stake to South Africans? Please show me!!! BAE land systems was called OMC land systems(South African company) before BAE bought the majority of the shares. Land systems was and always will be a South African company. |

Patchesagain:your own source they aren't necessarily being neutralised. The warheads contained in Palestinian rockets are "very difficult to detonate because they are made with thick steel cases... backed with insensitive TNT explosive", he found. More than 130 Palestinian rockets have been fired towards Israel over the past 24 hours, revealing the inefficiency of Israel’s Iron Dome missile system which has intercepted merely 27 of them. According to a report by Israeli media, at least 100 rockets have landed in Israel since Wednesday when Tel Aviv escalated its airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip. The report by Haaretz listed the regions hit by Palestinian rockets, saying that at least 22 rockets fired from Gaza landed in Eshkol area in southern Israel and 10 others hit the neighboring area of Ofakim. Of the rockets targeting these two areas, only two were intercepted. Four rockets also landed in Sha’ar Hanegev and five others hit the neighboring area of Sderot. In the southern city of Ashkelon, seven rockets landed and three others were intercepted. The Iron Dome has been established with the financial support of the United States. In May, the US House of Representatives appropriated 947 million dollars to the Iron Dome, nicknamed “David's Sling,” and a long-range Arrow missile program in Israel. Palestinian resistance fighters began firing rockets into Israel after the regime launched a new series of airstrikes on the besieged territory. Over the past 24 hours, at least 13 Palestinians, including senior Hamas commander Ahmed al-Ja’abari, have been killed in the Israeli airstrikes. Two children and a woman are also among the victims. Meanwhile, a senior Israeli official said on Wednesday that Tel Aviv was planning to expand the offensive in Gaza and that the regime was considering a “ground incursion” into the coastal enclave. SAB/MA http://www.presstv.com/detail/2012/11/15/272373/iron-dome-fails-to-stop-gaza-rockets/ Reuter tells a different story Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome defense system is more like an iron sieve. It fails to destroy all but a few of the rockets that Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups fire at Israeli communities. But Israel’s early-warning civil-defense systems have proved highly effective. Ted Postol, a physicist at the university and an expert in missiles and missile defenses, has found evidence that only about 5 percent of Iron Dome engagements result in the targeted rocket being destroyed or even sufficiently damaged to disable its explosive warhead. In the other 95 percent of cases, the interceptor either misses entirely or just lightly damages the enemy munition, allowing the rocket’s intact warhead to continue arcing toward the ground. http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2014/07/25/israels-iron-dome-is-more-like-an-iron-sieve/ WHEN MORE RESEARCH WAS DONE... IIT TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY. Other 2014 articles echoed a similar story from Time magazine on the first use of Iron Dome in 2012: that Iron Dome was the "most effective, most tested missile shield the world has ever seen." [4] But then the story changed. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists started the skeptical coverage on July 19, 2014 with a story purporting to reveal "The evidence that shows Iron Dome is not working." [5] Reuter's David Axe followed up a week later with a story, complaining on July 25, 2014, "Israel's Iron Dome is more like an iron sieve." [6] On July 31, 2014, the Middle East Monitor entitled a story "It is a lie to say that Iron Dome is Protecting Israelis from Hamas." [7] Two weeks later, August 12, 2014, reporter Dylan Scott asked, "For all the Hype, Does Israel's Iron Dome Even Work?" www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4775/iron-dome-rigged LOOK I KNOW IT MIGHT SOUND LIKE A LIE BUT THE IRON DOME ISN'T WHAT THE ISRAELIS MADE IT TO LOOK LIKE... MORE ROCKET HIT ISRAEL THAN WAS INTERCEPTED... ASK YOURSELF WHY ISN'T THE USA FIELDING THIS MAGICAL WEAPON THEY PRACTICALLY PAID FOR. ISRAELI PR TEAM HAS BEEN TAKING THE WORLD FOR A RIDE SINCE 1960 |

Patchesagain:[size=13pt]Nigerian defence industry is NOT inferior.[/size] We make world class quality products that UN is buying and presidents and ambassadors of countries from your own region are inspecting for purchase prospects. Point is we make different things, there are many Nigerian products that South Africa does not produce, wheeled bomb disposal robots, tracked bomb disposal robots, tactical military armoured vehicles, jet fighter rocket pods, jet fighter folding fin rockets, armoured patrol vessels, man portable drones....we make different things, each country has it's own priority.

jln115:1. Egypt and Algeria do not talk about their communication systems, nobody know if they have tactical datalinks, you cannot prove they do not have, same way I cannot prove they have it. 2. Algeria believes in buying weapons from north, east, west, south, they buy from over 10 different countries, it's their national defence policy to diversify sources of arms procurement. Besides, they feel the umkhonto is already integrated on Meko 200 used by SAN, so it makes easy sense to buy same. However the Algerians have 40 km Russian SAM on their Tigre frigates, they have missiles superior to Umkhnoto. Flagship does not matter, it's a ceremonial jargon. Also, they might not find Russian missile easy to install on a German Meko frigate, it will need Russian and German military engineers working together and that may be hard to achieve since the two white nations are enemies, then Umkhonto becomes easy option. 3. Thales is a French company you thief ! The logo is from France, you cannot use it as a South African original or else you will be in violation of international patent rights and end up in world court for stealing. Thales South Africa is merely a branch of Thales France, ALL the Thales products made in South African defence industry are imported French technology that you claim for yourselves you glory thief ! 90% of South African defence industry is owned by Europe, they own you ! See all the logos are the same exactly, Thales South Africa, Thales United Kingdom, Thales France https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/careers/south-africa https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/united-kingdom https://www.thalesgroup.com/en France owns Thales defence industry South Africa . PROVED ! 4. Sweden owns SAAB 100% 5. Rheinmetall is German, they own South African Rheinmetall, you cannot use a PATENTED name without affiliation with the parent company, Germany owns Rheinmetall defence company South Africa, they can pull the plugs on you and South African defence industry drops dead. All the Rheinmetall defecne products made in South Africa are imported materials, parts, and technology from Germany, they own you. Rheinmetall has branches ALL OVER THE WORLD.... http://www.rheinmetall-defence.com/en/rheinmetall_defence/company/locations_worldwide/index.php Rheinmetall America http://www.rheinmetall-defence.com/en/rheinmetall_defence/company/divisions_and_subsidiaries/american_rheinmetall_munitions/index.php Rheinmetall Canada http://www.rheinmetall.ca/en/rheinmetall_canada/index.php [size=13pt] 90% of South African defence industry is owned and fed fat by Europe.....Nigeria owns her own defence industry.....we are not a colony like South Africa [/size] . |

jln115:Iran's nuclear technology is NOT from South Africa, they got it from Russia and North Korea. Iran is 100 years years ahead of South Africa in defence industry, they built 3,000 km range missiles, jet fighters, submarines..... http://www.rohama.org/en/news/8153/irans-home-made-aircraft-and-jet-fighters-in-irans-air-force South Africa is far behind several 3rd world countries in defence industry, you only do well in MRAPs majorly, and you export a lot, other countries use their products locally to feed their large military needs, not like South Africa that has only 46 units of it`s own artillery and 12 units of it`s own helicopter gunship. http://www.rohama.org/en/news/8153/irans-home-made-aircraft-and-jet-fighters-in-irans-air-force Iran builds jet fighters !

jln115:Nigeria like Iran and Egypt, uses most of her defence products locally, why export when we do not have enough for huge local needs. Nigerian navy has NO South African patrol boat. You sold ATGMs, Iran makes them, even Sudan makes them. No big deal. You did NOT sell AAM to Brazil, A-Darter is a joint project and carries Brazilian logo on it. Brazil gave you the technology. You glory thief. You sold NOTHING to France You sold ONLY MRAP to Sweden You sold no SAM to Brazil You sold NOTHING to South Korea. I confirmed ALL South African arms exports on SIPRI.... You sell mostly MRAPs. Other weapon sales are few numbers or low value....you are nothing special. 90% of your South African defence industry is NOT yours, they are European companies opening branches in South Africa. You fvcking thief ! . |

jln115:MULTINATIONALS The codes of good practice allow foreign multinational companies doing business in South Africa some flexibility in how they structure their empowerment deals. In particular, the codes acknowledge that there may be multinationals whose global practices prevent them from complying with the ownership element of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) through the traditional sale of shares to black South Africans. In such cases, the codes allow for contributions in lieu of equity sales. These contributions, known as ‘equity equivalent’ contributions, count towards the ownership element ofnBBBEE and can allow companies to place extra effort on areas such as skills development, training, preferential procurement and social responsibility. The value of these contributions may be measured against 25% of the value of a multinational's South African operations, or against 4% of the total revenue from South African operations annually over the period of continued measurement. Foreign multinationals can submit proposals for Equity Equivalent Programmes to the Department of Trade and Industry for approval by the Minister of Trade and Industry. CONCLUSION It is fundamental to doing business in South Africa that potential investors become familiar with and meet their obligations in terms of BEE laws and regulations. http://www.uhy.com/wp-content/uploads/Doing-Business-in-South-Africa.pdf You force European companies to sell shares to South Africans and add your name to their own. The company has a South African look outwardly but inwardly it is European 100%. 90% of South African defence industry is owned by Europeans. Nigerian defence industry is NOT a colony like yours. We own our stuff. . |

We invented the HMD, and intagrated it on the Mirage, France used the HMD on their Mirages after successful testing on the SAAF fleet. 2. A darter is a South African project, we invited Brazil to cut costs. 3. We co developed the Cobra HMD which the Swedish Air force use on their Gripen. 4. Did I say we sold SAMs to Brazil? 5.
