hahaha, I doubt it was drawn on a computer, that one was done by hand...
But everyone has to become from somewhere right, if they keep it up in 10-15years they may have a decent industry... I see the potential

10 years is even far. I give them 8 years, if they keep at it. As soon as computer aided become available, products would be better.

Take a typical example, Nigeria. The Igirigi APC launched in 2013 was so butt ugly, however the operational vehicle which was seen in combat in 2014 was a vast improvement which could compete with other LAVs available in the market.

Today, we have MRAPs and other types of military/law enforcement vehicles available. It only took us 4 years.

Normally I'm not all-fired up (see what I did here) about MLRs but this is something else. If the Cubans had managed to get these for the Border War they would have f#cked up our ground formations.

The transmission has ended, I'm waiting for photos now.

I particularly enjoyed the Tigers and the L-39za team. Great display of professionalism from the Air Force.

16 aircrafts participated in total.

Well done to the pilot. No, he's not the first African.

After 96 days, SAS Amatola is welcomed back home at Simon's Town.

The L39 guys are so good.

Those big biceps eats through calories.
I'd rather have a fat-body in my squad.
At least he carries some calories with him and you can always find a chocolate somewhere in his gear.

The 90mm had a canister round that was devastating against infantry.
You need a mix of 20-30mm and 76-90-105mm for a good fire belt shoot.
In my opinion the SANDF made a mistake in selecting the 30mm for the fire support Badger. They should have used the old 90mm with 2x igwe's in that turret. They are saying the 60mm can be elevated low for that job, but it doesn't always occupy the battlespace where that's needed.

For coin, you can't do much better than a Rooikat 76. Just enough firepower to get the job done and a big ammo loadout for long endurance missions to hunt down/outflank technicals that would struggle to outrun or outshoot it.

MikeCZA:
Still under development.


I don't know with others but the 20/30mm guns will operate or fire single shots if necessary followed by 2-3 shot bursts. That's why the EMAK-30 has a single shot sniper mode.

Journey of a lifetime.

I would add to that "patrol,patrol, patrol"

A base isn't just a fence that you can hide behind and have hot chow and soft toilet paper.

You need to control the area around you. The most effective and often the most neglected way to do this is regular and focused patrolling.
It takes away the element of surprise from the enemy as well as making it hard for them to reconnoitre you're position. Patrolling is the first thing that goes by the wayside when discipline breaks down. Squad leaders who take shortcuts and miss waypoints should be severely dealt with.

Thats a big problem with most UN missions in Africa where they lock themselves in their bases and do the occasional vehicle patrol for show.
