Rooivalk.... Attack Helicopter.

- 20 mm cannon
- 16x Mokopa ATMs
- 4x mistral air to air missiles
- 38 or 76.....70mm (guided or unguided) rockets

Protected against 12.7mm api rounds

Also has the highest hover ceiling of any AH in the world(by nearly 2km ) , second highest service ceiling of any AH in the world(behind India HAL LCH) and second highest climb rate of any AH(behind the mi28).

Video:

The Rooivalk's TopOwl hmsd.... In service with 16 countries including the SAAF.
Designed and built by Thales South Africa

As an African I really wished this was in service continent wide

Toju200:
considering our budget we don't want to have jets rotting away in our airfield. How many su30 is Uganda still able to maintain and fly.....

About only Two at any given time

nemesis8u:
I know , it's just fun which it should be as real life is tough as it is, with no respite for the good people.

2nd part yes to a certain degree , yes

Just for the sake of conversation

Ants are highly organised living beings , their efficiency is unparalleled , humans cannot even come close . They don't have any options for elections , choice etc. They all have designated roles for maximum efficiency as a species.

Humans have the luxury of chaos , anarchy and so called freedom ( which for the common people all over the world is meaningless anyways ) because we don't have external threats other than ourselves.

What if a higher intelligent and powerful beings existed ? Would we have the luxury of the above like freedom , elections etc then. Food for thought.

Anyways I am pleasantly surprised to see this side of yours. Totally unrecognisable from the older kabe.

Did you get married or what ?

What?

as a South African I wish we had more than 12

Are they able to pay primary school teachers and still operate these jets optimally?. That's another question.

My hands are itching terribly

But common sense says i better give a pass

Indian pilots are not top gun. You have overwhelming technology superiority but you guys and this includes overall cultural orientation need to have a more aggressive attitude to life.

You are going to be a super power, start building the culture to yo with it. Not like Trump US, like Putin Russia

MiddleDimension:
a true regional power projector would be the SU30 and the SU34
if Uganda could get the 30, i wonder why we are not thinking along the same line

Nigeria would probably sign up for SU 35 but may never field it. Why?. Because Uncle Sam is suddenly going to appear with s friendly smile and say;

"...hey guys, did someone tell you we were not going to sell you F16s?. What nonsense, all lies. Here is a squadron of used Block 52. We will upgrade them for you, pay instalmentally but don't invade anybody "

let's just leave another country's problem alone

What the fvck u talking about bro

. Just concerned o. Having SU 34 but cant feed your people

I want my friend to type stuff + I think they are taking too much disrespect from Pakistan

and we will take it?

how much is the 34?

Running cost = ~$10,000 per hour
capital cost = ~$60,000,000.00
Pls dont believe internet prices.

Oh boy expand your horizons

Incase you did not know ants are the inspiration behind lot of high end technologies.

I don't even know where to start

Be it highly complex probabilistic algorithms

Be it advance search algorithms

Be it complex metaheuristic algorithms

Be it high end network routing and topologies

Be it optimised transportation routing

Be it optimization of high end chips / ICs etc

Be it optimization of image processing in AI based surveillance and military sensors

Be it algorithms for data mining

Be it algorithms for predictive behaviour analysis

Be it to develop neural networks exceeding human ones

Be it Advance AI

Etc

And i have barely scraped the surface

Image the irony of humans when researchers found while studying a certain species of ants , that their complex foraging pattern and behaviour is exact replica , actually many time better than the TCP protocol used to regulate data flow in our internet !!!

Ants having been emulating complex algorithms in their behaviour which we puny humans have only recently started to us.

To make things simple enough for you....
One classical diffence is ants are collectively very intelligent which we humans are not , because human are antagonistic , humans collectively have never functioned as a single unit. Human evolution always has been divergent.

Incase you still don't understand , i can recommend some books on advance algorithms specifically utilising ant colony optimization alogrithms.

The most important cost of any jet is the running cost,that tells you if you are buying a museum piece,training civilian pilots that fly the jets, or ...... Top guns.

Bro its not that I don't believe in your Ant facts its just your post was so fvcking random..... Just like this one

Hmmm AFAIK IAF pilots are as normal as pilots should be

Infact IAF pilots are very much normal, they shoot down their foes , they get shot down by foes , they chase their foes , they run away from foes, sometimes they even manage to shoot each other etc etc

They are good at the whole shebang as expected from any other human pilots from other countries.


If you want Google for books from USAF authors and read them , you might realise reality is simplicity simplified, not a movie like top gun.


Anyways

Power is best excised without excising it

let me put this way

Can i force you to do something , yes if i have the power , but won't you be antagonistic to me even if you submit to me . But if i make my problem your problem or your problem my problem won't we be best bros ever

And let's not discuss these topics , too much wahala and woe befallen on us ( me actually ) if lord voldemort appears here

U failed to connect the dots
May the ants drive you nuts for this blasphemy

jteku:
Cool, its new with modern avionic

Are you sarcastic? Or you probably dont know how a state of the art cockpit looks like.

Just to give you an idea how the Mi17V cockpit from 2010 looks like - so please dont believe anyone saying this helicopters are new.

It's a utility helicopter. So, I guess those updated avionics weren't really necessary. If NAF needed it, they would've requested for it.

Of course. The contract signed recently was just to secure agreement to buy. Nigeria needs not less than 200 armed choppers for security.
The economy will explode in 2021 and it will pull all sorts of elements from the larger west africa. Interesting times.

Explode? Implode? What do you mean?

Ant colony optimization by Dorigo Marco

Swarm Intelligence by Eric Bonabeau

I must warn you before , these books requires good grasp in the domain of algorithms involved in AI and their relating domain of applications before you can follow the books .

Computer science / electronics background is required kindof but not necessary

Machine learning for beginners by John salvio , u can try to clear fundamentals but still it requires good grounding of concepts beforehand.

On hindsight MIT and Indian IITs provide good free materials , if i remember correctly , i cant help find them but you could try googling for them , if you want

And good reading !

What do you guys think about the corona virus ?

Lots of conspiracy theories flying about


And news comming in Kazakhstan people are burning down Chinese owned businesses in large numbers

I am like WTF
