Henry120:
Thank you for dedicating this article to me.
The Problem is, we are First.
With 10 CH-3A UCAVs in service, we have not only carried out Africa's and the developing world's PGA from a UCAV, we also have Africa's largest Fleet.
Deal with it.

1. Makes claim that South Africa will be getting no such equipment, because SANDF is broke

2. saengine corrects him. Asks him what he'll say when production starts.

3. He ignores the fact that proof has been brought to him, that in fact we are getting such equipment.
He rather goes on a random tangent about who is first. Assuming that people would somehow forget his original claim
made just a day or so ago.

4. You think the SANDF can't go onto the market to buy whatever equipment it wants like Nigeria?
It is SANDF and South African policy to purchase as much strategic equipment from South Africa as possible.
As soon as Seeker 400 was qualified, it was stated at IDEX 2015 that SA Air Force will get such equipment.

5. So go crawl back into your uninformed hole, and deal with it.

Three key Denel Dynamics products poised to enter production phase

https://us-cdn.creamermedia.co.za/assets/articles/images/resized/0000402496_resized_seeker40008141022duane.jpg

No fewer than three of the development projects being carried out by local missile, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite company Denel Dynamics (part of the State-owned Denel group) are coming to an end and being transformed into industrialisation and production programmes for local and foreign customers. They are the A-Darter missile, the Seeker 400 UAV and the Umbani precision guided bomb kit. “We are really proud of our achievements in these programmes,” highlights company CEO Tsepo Monaheng. “Now we are in a position to release critical engineers and other resources to work on new development programmes.”


[b]The A-Darter is an infrared homing air-to-air missile, conceived by Denel Dynamics but jointly developed with Brazil. Development of the missile has now reached completion, and it is expected that the first contract for industrialisation and production of the weapon will be signed later this month or next month. There will be two such contracts, one for each of the two partner countries. The second such contract will be signed later this year. There will be production lines in both countries. “We will start to establish the production line here in April,” he states. “We’ll also be assisting our Brazilian partners to establish a production line there.” Recently, at his farewell function, the outgoing Brazilian Air Force attaché to South Africa highly praised the A-Darter’s performance and Denel Dynamics’s cooperation with his country.


Already, another country is seriously interested in acquiring the A-Darter. If a contract is signed, the missiles would be assembled on the South African production line. “The potential for more customers is now considerable, because we now have a product, not just a programme,” points out Denel Dynamics deputy CEO Denise Wilson. “We’ll be ramping up to produce five A-Darters a month, on the South African production line. We’ll source most components from local industry and so create local jobs.”[/b]

The third and final development guided test series was recently completed. This proved the performance of the missile. “It has exceeded expectations!” she reports. “Now we’re finishing the qualification of the missile. The final qualification flight tests are planned for later this year. “The missile will fly whatever mission is specified by the client. We now have the latest state-of-the-art processors on the missile.”

The Seeker 400 is actually more advanced than the A-Darter, because it is already in production for its launch customer, an overseas client. “The Seeker 400 has just been through a range of performance evaluation tests, including range and altitude and it performed very well against specifications,” notes Wilson.


“We have one customer for the Seeker 400 now, but we’re talking to four other potential customers,” points out Monaheng. “One of these witnessed the recent successful demonstration of the Seeker 400.” In addition to the Seeker 400, a large tactical UAV (with the potential to be armed), the company also offers the Seeker 200 tactical UAV and the Hungwe small UAV. Once, the South African Air Force was a leader in UAV operations, but it has not operated any UAVs for many years now. “We’re hoping that UAVs are going to be re-introduced into the air force later this year,” he says.

As these projects become production programmes, new development projects are taking their place. A major new project is the Marlin. This will be a beyond-visual-range radar homing missile, with more than one role. “The Marlin is in the technology demonstration phase. It is being funded by the Department of Defence. “We have the funding for the technology demonstration,” says Wilson. “It is intended for air-to-air, ground-to-air and naval surface-to-air roles. Its rocket motor has already been tested. “Certain preliminary tests of the airframe will take place during this year.” Although intended to fulfill the requirements of the South African National Defence Force, it has already attracted overseas interest.

“It’s a really interesting technology programme,” she cites. “It’s giving the opportunity for young engineers to grow with the programme. “It’s delivering a new generation of engineers. “Ideally, you want people to be with this programme for the next 15 to 20 years,” adds Monaheng.




This article is dedicated to HENRY120 . Remember what I told you just a few days ago, I wonder what your excuse will be when these products start going onto the production line to feed the SANDF.

You demolish nothing

I don't owe you answer of where I got missile screenshots from, am I your servant to obey your command? I got images, I posted, anyone who is angry can go jump into river Zambezi.

The mercenaries in the Maiduguri photos drive a South African MRAP same way Americans, Yemenis, Nigerians, etc all drive South African MRAPs.

Until you prove those white men's true nationalities, they are NOT South Africans.....and who cares anyway, NO MERCENARY is doing combat in Nigeria's war.

However, I admit that Nigeria uses the whiteheads of South Africa for casual labour duties, live with that even if it hurts whatever remains of your shattered national pride
.

As usual....Augustine starts off strong (in his head) and finishes weak. I will make u close your mouth on topics each and every time....i repeat. You will end up posting paragraph after paragraph of uselessness.


Infact let me rather say keep TROLLING. You have proven on Beegeagle blog where your true emotions come out.

agaugust:
[s]Long story with no sense in it.

The Equatorial Guinea Vs Maiduguri location/street REVA MRAP story came backstage from an online source and was circulated in Nigeria.

You cannot blame anybody for anything, war reports are hard to confirm unless you are a top military commander directly reporting from the field. I owe nobody any fvcking apology, Nigerian army never gave public information on it's versions of REVA MRAPs, we are the ones working so hard to fish out Nigerian weapons and identify their specifications from half complete photos, how is that easy? Can you do better?

Yourself can you tell us the difference between REVA Mk III and MK V ? Tell us now !

War reports gets cleared better after days have passed. BBC said 2,000 people died in Baga, a whole BBC relied on a Facebook source because Nigerian military did not comment in the matter for many days before pegging Baga casualty at 150 dead.

Have you written letter to BBC about their 2,000 casualty story and ask BBC editor in chief to keel down and bow to one gay Southie named Saengine?

You must be hurting badly by now, because the only confirmed South African ex-soldier in Nigeria is a casual labor mechanic who found a better life in Nigeria after South Africa wasted his time and career, we save your unemployed people from financial mess[/s]
.

Moral of the story. Next time don't try be a clever f*ck here. If people post pics that YOU dont know their source, you ask. Dont try say those pics dont belong to this place or this place....when others know.

In all this rubbish post of yours you think i didnt notice you ignored my question? Which country do those white men come from, since they are operating South African equipment?

Day 10....which website did you find those missile launch screengrabs from? You think i forgot?

I will demolish you each and every time.

Nice scale of our missile systems

agaugust:
I proved Equitorial Guinea bought REVA MK III with clear source posted by me.

First REVA MRAP seen in Nigeria was MK V

No official publication has ever said Nigeria bought any type of REVA MRAP, we only got photo of one REVA ambulance MK V being transported by road.

Nobody knows all details of Nigerian equipment until we see some of them because of government secrecy policy of Nigerian military.

So how is that our fault? Am I Nigerian army chief of staff with full list of all new weapons/equipment purchased yesterday?

By the way, can you identify the difference between REVA MK III and MK V ?

BTWN Nigeria owns all the REVA MRAPs in the Maiduguri road photos, and the PMC guys are NOT South Africans until you show us their names and nationalities with infallible PROOF !

I do agree we turned some SADF ex-troops into casual labour mechanics, it's not our own apartheid version, it's just that Nigeria is powerful enough to make a white South African wash our toilets if we want it
.

Like i have always said, i find it funny how people start panicking when they are trapped in a corner .

Listen very carefully. Understand this....

1. When i posted the pics of the white men at the gun turret of Reva III, why did you feel the need to tell us in BIG BOLD letters that Equitorial Guinea bought Reva III? Why? There are plenty other countries who bought it. Who asked you to do that for us?

I'll tell you why. Because it was clear to you and everyone here that those white men at the gun turrets were private combatants. But you were so desperate to hide the fact private combatants are fighting with Nigerian army, that you chose an African country as close as possible to Nigeria that has Reva III. In the sad attempt to remove any link between those Reva III and Nigeria.


2. You later found out that Nigeria does infact have Reva III. This is where you seriously panicked. Let me show you the mistakes you made.....

You now claim that those men, in Nigerian Reva III's, are indeed private military contractors. But you deny they are South African. Here is your critical mistake......you forgot that your very own president said all private contractors are simply providing training on NEW EQUIPMENT on the front line because there wasn't enough time. You have agreed with your president on this point.


So those men in the picture must come from the same country in which Reva III is produced, which is South Africa.

And i know your next step, you will say those men can come from any other country which also operates Reva III. So tell us, which country are they from?

-UAE
-Somalia
-Yemen
-Equatorial Guinea
-South Sudan
-Nigeria

Or South Africa?

Henry120:
Pig,

You cannot afford any of those, your project biro is 18 years today. Your SAAF cannot afford common aviation fuel for it's fleet, your pilots average only 3 flying hours per week.

Until you can provide the basics, all you mentioned are only a fan pig's wet dreams.


Snort along little piggie!

Yeah. SANDF is going to suddenly give up on projects like Badger and A Darter after already paying billions to Denel. Aha...makes sense. I agree with you.

You sound like you want to cry. I wonder if you'll still be on this forum when serial production starts this year. Will be interesting to see how you defend yourself.

Belongs to who, Lesotho or Bostwana ?

You lost the argument....Troll
.

You are the very same person who said REVA III was bought buy Equitorial Gunea when i posted those pics with white men at the gun turret. You even posted in big bold letters!! Did you think we would suddenly forget? Are you mentally stable?


Now you want to pretend as if you knew all along that Nigeria had REVA III, when you have already claimed they do not exist in Nigeria.

So admit your mistake f00l. Bow down and apologise.

Yeah Equitorial Guinea marks their vehicles in the exact same place, same colour, same size and follwing similar alpha numeric sequence as Nigeria. Cool story

Henry120:
Everybody hires Private security contractors, we've never denied it.


No fuss.

Lmao! Your one and a quarter sentence reply seems so lonely and dry. No fuss you say? When we claimed that South African and other merceneries are in Nigeria fighting Boko Haram for Nigeria, what was the reply on this forum? No fuss? No...it was, there are no South African merceneries in Nigeria! Why has this topic gone on for so long? Because u said "its true, no fuss" at the beginning? Nooo...it was denied.

So you can take your "no fuss" and shove it. Its too late now.

iterator24:
we patiently await pictures of the so called mercenaries armed with at least a 'cane' from reuters, afp, and ap ..

Guess you made this post before the helicopter pic

Fantastic post. White combatants. What are they doing next to Nigerian Air Force assets. What are they doing? Still providing "training"? This is what we have been saying all along......foreign merecenaries have been providing military assistance to Nigerian armed forces. Simply because you are useless and overwhelmed. Keep denying it. Proof keeps building.

This f00l posts a video of Reva Mk III armoumed vehicles. When we post pics of those same vehicles with mercenaries in them, they say "we dont even have those vehicles". Suicide video

Example......If Nigerian troops were in a fire fight with troops from country X today. Nigerian troops have their vehicles destroyed, but manage to capture two enemy Reva armoured vehicles. You're saying a detachment of Nigerian soldiers wouldnt be able to commandeer those vehicles and fight their way out? They would have to first send and email to Reva headquarters in SA, to ask them to send in trainers to show them how to start, drive and use Reva weapons.

Keep selling that sad story.

stillchris:
you are a complete numbskull. i don't need to finish reading this balderdash you wrote before concluding that your logic is as flawed as your brain capacity to reason properly.

that being said, a country can buy weapons from a company and contract another private firm to bring in mercs who have experience with such weapons to train it's forces how to use them on the field. especially in the case of Nigera. therw just wasn't time for training on these new weapons. which military doesn't require training for new weapons?

seriously, it's not rocket science

Why bother replying if you didnt read it all? Why waste your time?

Why are you arguing? This is exactly what we've been saying the whole time. Highly trained South African merceneries are in Nigeria, on the front line, fighting Boko Haram. So why you arguing?

You can use the excuse that Nigeria isnt "yet trained" on using mine resistant vehicles if you want. What is so technically advanced about a mine resistant vehicle? Your guys dont know how to drive them? Or they dont know how to use the heavy calibar machine guns, which are readily available on other Nigerian equipment?

Are they acquiring Soviet highly technical surface to air missiles or a basic armoured vehicle? Easy to drive. Weapons easy to use for any soldier with prior military experience. You arent purchasing super stealth, teleporting, transforming, levitating vehicles.

Keep selling that story. The more you talk, the sadder it gets. Mercenaries are there to boost your forces, with highly skilled men. Has nothing to do with new equipment being bought. Simple.

No South African engineering company will send its engineers and technicians to a foreign, active war zone. When i say war zone i mean the actual front line. Training on equipment can be provided to troops, in a quiet, non conflict zone. It is then up to that country's specific army to develop the tactics and maneuvers of how best they want to utilize that equipment.

I have even purposefully left out the most important part, which you clearly have not even thought about. No South African company can fight a war, or engage in a battle on behalf of another country. It is stated law. If our defence minister says mercenaries will be arrested on return, what do you think will happen to registered, tax paying companies? They will be shut down immediately, never to produce one single bolt of a Reva armoured car again. You think the owners and producers of Reva vehicles will risk their company, profit and future orders over Boko Haram? Willing to have their company shut down over Boko Haram and Nigeria? Think again.

Equipment can be supplied. But providing combat assistance on an active war front is illegal. So keep believing the "on the job training" story. It is highly trained, battled hardered mercenaries on the front line. Being paid in cash, and who are hard to trace. Those are the men fighting for you. Not an engineer with a Bsc degree coming over to risk their lives.

What i find amazing.....a credible South African engineering company will send it's highly trained engineers and technicians to train Nigerians in the middle of a hot, dangerous battle zone. Men with families back home, good standards of living, good carreer prospects will go into a battle zone, front line, bullets flying. Almost having to shoot at Boko Haram themselves, since Nigerian soldiers are apparently still clueless at doing this.

No standard engineering company will send its employees into such danger. You cannot be above age 12 and believe the "providing technical training on new equipment story" . Companies who are willing to send employees into such conditions, would send men who have been in war zones before and have seen hard, heavy combat.

You can keep lying to yourself and believe these men are just walking around there with spanners and grease. When everyone knows they are highly skilled fighters.

It's on CCTV news scrow-bar now; "the south african government denies south african army or mercenary in the fight against terrorist in Nigeria !

What do mercenaries have to do with the South African Army? They are private citizens.

Henry120:
Are you a gay?

What's with all the gay sh1t you keep spewing.


How did we get to know a south-african died, how did we also get to know his name?

Are you now saying, the koevoet story was cooked up?

So you cannot link his particular company to the specific acquired equipment. Its something you just made up, hoping no one would notice. But failed. Dismally. Even desperate enough to name Pilgrims Security as part of the unnamed companies. That was actually quite embarrassing.

Henry120:
Let me help you out again. This time around, still in bold.

The Dead South-African worked as a mechanic for a Nigerian company(pilgrims security), the Nigerian company is 1 of 2 companies contracted by the Nigerian government, as confirmed by President GEJ.




I just hope you now understand.

Besides the dild.o Augustine left there last night, you've also pulled that out your as.s. Such a poor performance on your part. So you know the names of the UNNAMED companies....how fascinating


"He said two unnamed companies were involved in the training but declined to offer nationalities or numbers of the trainers"

...

Henry120:
Here is your link. However, this time in bold, since you are blind.


the president said.

He also said that foreign technicians are present in the northeast to teach Nigerian troops on how to use their new weapons, since there wasn’t time to train the troops before they deployed.

“So we now have this technical people who are trainers and technicians, who are to train our people on how to use them, and
technicians that help the maintenance, at the same time training our people how to maintain this equipment,” Jonathan said.He said two unnamed companies were involved in the training but declined to offer nationalities or numbers of the trainers.


I just hope you can now see.

You have officially been excluded from the university. You will never be getting your degree. I said link the company the dead South African worked for, to the newly acquired armoured vehicles. Again...you have not done that.

Can you guys imagine the emails flying between Augustine and Henry120?

A:We're screwed, help me fix this situation.
H:But master, the articles....more and more are coming out
A:Dont give me any excuses...help me fix this damm.it!
H:Yes master

Henry120:
Your koevet operative worked for a Nigerian Private security firm. Pilgrims security contracted the man as a mechanic, maintenance, servicing and repairs.

Pilgrims security is one of many private security firms working across the globe.Airscan, Academi, black water et al, are firms that U.S DoD, UK MoD have contracted and still contract.

Nigeria is also no stranger to the use of private security contractors, we've always hired them.


"He also said that foreign technicians are present in the northeast to teach Nigerian troops on how to use their new weapons, since there wasn’t time to train the troops before they deployed."....... President GEJ



This is the job your koevet operator was doing.

I said link the company that this man worked for to the newly acquired armoured vehicles you bought. Did you do that? No. Did you provide a useless public info segment on merc companies? Yes.

You have not linked this company to the South African armoured vehicles. You have failed your exam. You will not be getting your degree this year.

And in all this, you havent asked yourself what kind of useless military literally does on the job training on the front line. Can you imagine South African troops getting training from Nigerians on the frontline....you would be all over that point.
