overhypedsteve:
you just call person fool for nothing because he is your son ni? So AA rounds is limited to just 23mm? Do you think Nigeria or Proforce needs this kind of pathetic attention you are giving it?

He might have goofed with his response, but at the end of the day it’s between the two of them, and they are both adults. Your response might be from a place of correction but just let it slide.

You don’t need to escalate the issue, I feel everyone should take a chill pill. Butting in with insults will only make the situation more hostile.

Just let it slide

Yes indeed you are making things up. Has this vehicle gone through all its trials? No. Whether it is good or not is still very far from being determined.

Not all and we are all waiting for final result. What I am saying is that base on information that we have this vehicle is good.

...the end

12.7mm AP round is a serious round

It is not for you to provide an explanation for any of the retards who have made inconsequential comments. The primary material used for the armour of the ARA MRAP is "Dynemma". A bit of research of the material would show you why this currently is the most protected APC in service in Africa.

Again, an insignificant opinion is of no value, the Nigerian Army has ordered it, the Guinea military is also interested. Random comments from random individuals from South-Africa is utterly meaningless.

According to this guy, the ARA is as well protected as a Bradley and Rooikat that weigh in at 30t

Yeah, good one!

Actually, the Badger has the V-shape. You're confusing with with the Paramount Mbombe which is a flat base.... We didn't create the Badger, we just heavily modified it.

Badger has a flat hull. The added underfloor armor is why it cant swim.

It isn't too far fetched that an mrap can withstand a 23mm 2a7 AP round. That gun isn't known for its armor penetration. What I can find as the best AP round for the gun is an APFSDS-T round that is only capable of penetrating 30mm of RHA at 30° from vertical at 100m (if someone finds a better one feel free to correct me).

This could mean that the front is probably resistant. Sides could possibly be penetrated but it wouldn t be easy. The rear I don't think will be all that easy either. This is alo speculation though because without knowing the actuall armor type and thickness we can't really tell what it can or can't resist. What we do know though is that the ara is pretty heavy for an mrap which could possibly mean enough armor to deal with the API rounds of the 2a7.

And I'm pretty confident the AA gun being referred to is a zsu 23 since those are the most common used by terrorist organizations. Other platforms like the bofors are stuck to old mounts and have limited magazines which make them unfavourable to mount on a Hilux.

Just simply look at pictures of ARA's side and rear doors when they are open. If anyone thinks 23 mm will struggle to pass through that, they are simply delusional. And then Henry talks about Dynemma as if its a magical material, when in fact its in the league of body armour/Kevlar...meant to stop 44 Magnum rounds. But anyways

Pity it's not made by Proforce. Some here would be calling it the best in the world .

Lolz ....Its an insult, but very funny

Let this case rest please. Many of us have corrected Henry already. The claim wasn't made by proforce because I watched the video myself. 12.7mm is not a joke not to talk of 23mm.

Move on bro, its not a war.

Hence I said "but anyways".....wasn't looking to take it further after that.

You better not try such or I will blow your balls with this 12.7mm pistol.

ActivateKruger:
Naah man...

I understand he's patriotic and that's fine.. Making claims is something else BUT going on saying things like "random South Africans" is on another level when we try to put him inline.

Maybe he doesn't know, there's 3 South Africans with the military, 1 ex military and at least 4 with technical knowledge in different fields... None of us are accountants here. If there's anyone who's random here it's him with his misplaced qualifications to count money in a military thread.

Therein lies the rub! Those who insist on speaking know as much as my dogs knowledge of Vietnamese language! When corrected they cry and carry on and whatnot.....

Denel NTW-20 rifle in service with SANDF....it should really be classified as a cannon . One of these was apparently used to take out M23 officers in DRC, if true.....ouch.

The NTW-14.5, unfortunately we can't ask him how it felt.
