thanks its too complicated for me this frequency subject


so if you get data link , long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance drones guided by satellite , it will give nigerian army a hudge advantage in operations . any info about how nigerian army use this satelite ?
Not sure when but eventually the Military will get their own Satellite, it is only a matter of time.
Currently they get @$%/ from the U.S.and the U.K.

Henry240:

Man, how many years to buy this plane na?

They are still going to buy that AW109 again , that crash machine.

Whats up with the rubber bands on the grenade?

Why would you want to stop the lever from popping when you pull the pin?

ssaengine:


So you don't actually have any technical idea of what "easy" is? What exactly is this "signal receiver"? Can I buy it from my local radio shop? Useless comment.

ssaengine:


No one asked you to copycat us. No one cares. It's what South Africa chooses to do. Others can do whatever they want. I only replied to your comment to remind you how st***d you are, in case you forgot. Have a good day.

Remember these pictures in 2007, they literally filled up my personal school server space. I remember my lecture peeping into my server and asked if I wanted to join the military, his name was Eugene De Kock and I'm not even kidding there.

Very very old picture.

You think like a baby. Why would defence items be sold in local civilian radio shop? There are thousands of spare part manufacturers in European defence industry that can supply parts. Signal reciever is in the EU ot USA open market.

Most South African made defence products are loaded with imported made in Europe component parts, but you guys hide those facts and push stories to us as if you make everything. Your Rooivalk is loaded with mostly French parts from engine to whatever. The passive radar you are building, go deep into it and you will find one European technical partner giving South Africa high tech help to do it. Like Your ARHLAC aircraft is mostly built by Boeing company of USA selling high tech parts and teaching South Africa how to build. Yet you guys noise about all these things as if you do it 100%.

Half truth is equal to half lie.

Cannonleo:
not accepted soldier , your experience is a valuable asset to thread and page

Henry240:

Super nice!

What state is this, looks like the South-South or South-East region?

ActivateKruger:


So what's your problem?


We made the Rooivalk under crippling UN sanctions, in fact the UN had to later pass another resolution banning the export of weapons from South AfricaAfrica because we had turned the situation around... Yes we make plenty of unapologetic noise for because how many countries have the ability to develop weapons and scare the world while being sanctioned? Your airforce decayed into oblivion and you haven't recovered from a simple weapons embargo.


Our systems have some components from other countries, who doesn't?.... The question is how many countries are able to produce world-class weapon systems using those already available components? Definitely not Nigeria.. What have you produced in your latest military spending spree? An APC? Really? Only an APC that uses commercial tryes... We produced missiles, long range rockets and nukes when we were under threat, we are developing passive radars, 5th generation missiles, etc while we're at peace and then you come talk your rubbish here.

Grow up Augustine or simply crawl back to the cave you came from.

Hrmnn:


The misunderstanding in the thread seems to boil down to this:

It's correct that the majority of our defence products utilise foreign technology in some form or another.

However, most of that technology is not imported per se, but produced locally under various licensing agreements. So it's also correct that we have the capacity to manufacture all of it in RSA too.

To illustrate, let us consider one of the earliest successes of Armscor: the Ratel ICV.

The Ratel may be advertised as a fully South African-manufactured product, but the chassis design came from MAN (a West German company) and the hull was designed by Springfield-Bussing, whose parent company was Bussing (another West German company). The Ratel engines were also built under licence from MAN.

Yes, we built these vehicles, including the engines, armament, and all the associated parts in RSA. But we have the Germans to thank for the design of those parts.
