Zapped by FARDC suppoted by FIB.

South Africa is a troop contributing country to the FIB. The groups you mention didn't receive much attention as they weren't such a huge threat. Counter insurgency not semi conventional tactics are applied.

Land size doesn't translate to military power.


Last time they invaded the DRC our Namibian cousins and the Zimbos(SADC countries) dealt with them. SADC is the most peaceful region of all African regions but when rain clouds gather in SA everyone must get an umbrella in the region.

"Land size doesn't translate to military power" tell that to the saudi!china contribution to peace keeping in south sudan,really and clearly shows they have interests in south sudan. SA just looking extra cash for its troops in DRC. Don't call yourself a giant while you can only deal with a police case in lesotho,uganda are hunting kony in CAR,Being in somalia from year 2007 and was just recently involved in south sudan.

The SANDF doesn't get reimbursed for deployments. The government is.

South Africa brands it's self as the gateway into Africa not as an African giant.

They are dealing with security problems in their neighbourhood. The reason Kenya went into Somalia.

remind me again whats the calibre of your G-6 self-propelled howitzer

MikeCZA:
Let me play du.mb.

155mm.

It is a heavy self propelled howitzer but really mobile on the ground can keep up mechanized units. Great bush breaker and highly rugged.

Interestingly the SA army acquired the Soltam M-71 howitzer in the 80s as an interim solution before the G5 towed howitzer could get into service. It is the gun used on the ATMOS.


Denel offers the T5 system a truck mounted howitzer similar to the ATMOS-2000 but with longer range and probably better terminal performance with the Rheinmetall shells.

africaken254:
i ask you the calibre of your G-6 in SANDF ,not the history of what you bought in the 80s. stop trying to evade the question !

MikeCZA:
If it is to compare. The G6 is better.

155mm calibre.

The M-71 is used on the ATMOS.
