agaugust:Again. You dont even understand your own link. They are very very correct. "Cold air contracts, becomes more dense, and thus heavier than warm air." Very correct. The part that you will never ever understand is that fact applies to air at the same pressure. When you open your fridge, the cold air sinks to your feet because because it is denser/heavier than the warm air around it. But...the air pressure in your fridge and surroundings are the same, thats why that happens. Air at very high altitude on the other hand is at a much lower pressure than at sea level. Hence it will not be denser than air at sea level, even though it is colder. I asked...why do jet liners need to be pressurized when flying at high altitude? The air there is much colder than air at sea level. So according to you, it must be denser than air at sea level. So why do they pressurized commercial jets? Can your mind even grasp that question? I told you, you are out of your intellectual depth. This argument is not for you. You have no clue what you are talking about. |
agaugust:You dont understand your own link. Nor do you understand what i said. No it is not denser than standard air, because its at a lower pressure. You are out of your very shallow depth. |
jpphilips:Comparing apples and shoe laces. You must take atmospheric pressure into account....you cant just say warm air/cold air if they are at different pressures. Warm air is less dense than cold air, AT THE SAME PRESSURE. Example. The air you are currently breathing is warmer than air at 30 000 feet which a jet liner flies at. Does that mean a jet liner flies through denser air than that currently entering your nostrils? Why then do aircraft need to be pressurized? You think you would survive for more than 30 seconds trying to inhale the "denser, colder air" at 30 000 feet? Basic science that anyone with a high school education would know. But i dont blame Agaugust for his lack of understanding. The likes of Henry120 will agree to whatever Agaugust says, they worship him like a god. |
agaugust:That is not the gatling gun on a T-129. Why dont you post a video of the 1st gatling gun built in the 1900's? Can we also say Rooivalk fires "12 × 20 mm caliber " rounds if it fires 12 rounds a second? You thought T-129 fires 3 bullets at one go. You ran to the internet to correct yourself. |
Work horse of the SAAF. Will be interesting to see what finally gets chosen to replace them. Probably C130-J.
|
agaugust:As suspected. You are unable to answer. Fake fake fake. No one cares what happens downstream at the target. The same question is asked, let me even make it clearer for you.......when you pull the trigger on a gatling gun do the bullets come out the barrel following the same trajectory? (i.e in a line) yes or no? It's obvious bullets wont stay 1 behind the other in a line if you fire at a target far away. So you post above is irrelevent. Can distract other fo.ols not me? Again...what is the orientation of those 3 rounds when leaving the barel of a gatling gun? In a line or side by side? |
agaugust:Fake...fake...fake military researcher. You are not well mentally. Whoever agrees with you is in an even worse state. Tell us.....these "3 shells", when they are fired towards a target, what is their orientation? Is it 3 rounds one behind the other in a "line" heading to the target? Or is it 3 rounds next to each other in a "wall" heading to the target? If a gatling gun is fired on full automatic, its a continous stream of bullets in one line to the target. If Rooivalk fires at full automatic, its a continous stream of bullets in one line to the target. How are they different? Please stop making up sh.it as you go along. You are being nothing but a troll. "3 × caliber" for fvck sakes. |
agaugust:Oh my God |
patches689:"Military researcher" who works with "former U.S fighter pilots" . I've been saying all along, he's nothing but a security guard with military ambitions. Rejected from the boy scouts because of his b..ba...bad stutter. |
Henry120:Exactly. Next time don't try and be clever with me, when you're clueless as to what I'm talking about. You should have asked me what I'm ouching about and left it at that. Would have given you a very polite answer. |
Henry120:Why do you sound like you want to cry? Why dont you look at the pics/comments again and see what I'm ouching about. Figure it out. |

http://sofrep.com/40623/eeben-barlow-speaks-pt-2-development-nigerian-strike-force/ Eeben Barlow Speaks Out (Pt. 2): Development of a Nigerian Strike Force The chairman of STTEP, Eeben Barlow, reports, “Our relationship with the Nigerian government and the Nigerian Armed Forces is very good, and as fellow Africans, they recognize the value we have added thus far at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. An advanced party of South African military veterans working for STTEP landed in Nigeria by early January of 2015. Instead of social-media activism, they held a selection program for the elite Nigerian military unit they were to train while the main body of STTEP began to arrive. “It is a mobile strike force with its own organic air support, intelligence, communications, logistics, and other relevant combat support elements,” said Barlow. He declined to name the unit they were training, but an open source investigation strongly suggests this unit is the 72 Strike Force. By the time the main body of STTEP contractors arrived, the selection process for the Nigerian strike force was complete and training was able to commence immediately. “We built it from scratch,” Barlow explained, “and were able to, in a very short space of time, get it combat ready. The results this force achieved, along with the support of the Nigerian Army are indeed remarkable. The South Africans trained their Nigerian counterparts in the tactics, techniques, and procedures that they had practiced and refined on the battlefield since South Africa’s conflicts in the 1980s, including Barlow’s concept of relentless pursuit (which will be explored in a future article). Meanwhile, Boko Haram was experiencing an increase in operational tempo and achieving successes in their area of operations. With this in mind, STTEP’s mission quickly transitioned from training a rescue unit to training a rapidly deploying mobile strike force, and mentoring those they trained in the field. “By late February, the strike force conducted its first highly successful operational deployment,” Barlow said. |
Henry120:Situation seemed sorted. Unit already existed. Tactics already existed. Hmmm In the words of former EO's man Eeben Barlow...."we built it from scratch" |
Why would a private company be needed to create an entire infantry unit within the Nigerian army? I wonder. Surely there are more than enough officers within Nigeria to do this. -Nigerians know the enemy better than the private company -Know the specific terrain better than the company -Know the people better Whole unit developed on your own soil, your own back yard. Might as well call it 72 Strike Force Pty (Ltd). |
Turns out former Executive Outcomes founder Eeben Barlow was directly involved in setting up, training and introducing new tactics for Nigeria's newly founded 72 Strike Force which faced Boko Haram. Really had nothing to do with "Reeva MRAP's are new, so foreign operators need to train Nigerians on the frontline". Really had nothing to do with Reva MRAP's at all. It was an introduction of new tactics, training methods and fighting doctrines. One would wonder why the Nigerian Army could not develop such a unit on its own. |

patches689:http://itweb.co.za/mobilesite/defenceweb/home/item_id-17306/ This article came a few months after the 1st one in 2011 [b]FURTHER MONEY FOR GBADS 2 "The South African Army has awarded Reutech Radar Systems (Pty) Ltd of Stellenbosch an R18.950 million contract for the continued development of a dual band X-and-L band technology radar. The work forms part of Project Protector, also known as the Ground-based Air Defence System (GBADS) Phase II. Denel and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research were allocated two similar contracts of nearly identical value earlier this month. The award takes known spending on the radar component of the project to R93 628 093.51 since 2007. Total known spending stands at R228 416 054.90, including R134 787 961.39 on the missile and ground-based launcher system. ... Reutech Radar Systems (RRS), with Denel Dynamics and the CSIR is also receiving funding to demonstrate a 3D air defence artillery radar for GBADS 2 known as the RSR 320 or DBR XL. The system is based on the ESR 220 Thutlwa (ex Kameelperd, Giraffe) local warning radar already in service with the SA Army ADA, but with the addition of high-accuracy 3D target detection and tracking capabilities."[/b] |
DENEL OVERBERG TEST RANGE South Africa's version of "Area 51". Highly restricted access to sensitive areas. Employees are highly vetted since they deal directly with SA Air Force, Navy and sometimes Army weapons capabilites. 1 SAAF Gripen is permanently based at the range as a testbed for new weapons and systems. High vetting is also because employees come into contact with foreign weapon systems and capabilities during testing. Range also supplies telemetry launch support for NASA and other space agencies.

http://itweb.co.za/mobilesite/defenceweb/home/item_id-13668/ Why do I get a sneaky feeling the army will be getting operational units in the not too distant future. Hmmm...i wonder. Extract from 2011 article ARMY FUNDS GBADS II "The South African Army has awarded Denel a R30.6 million contract for design risk reduction related to the ground based launcher for the Denel Dynamics Umkhonto missile. The work forms part of Project Protector, also known as the Ground-based Air Defence System (GBADS) Phase II. The award takes known spending on the missile component of the project to R134 787 961.39 since 2007. Total known spending stands at R200 738 80.27." Since the 2011 article, In October 2013 Denel demonstrated to the SA Army and 9 other un-named countries the maturity of the system at that point. Three missiles were launched, two hitting targets at 15km and one at 20km. Denel is apparently working on a +30km missile, and eventually a +60km missile. https://admin.denel.co.za/uploads/c40549e98be769b764a713cafa84cd4c.jpg https://admin.denel.co.za/uploads/4f37761a26ba11b2fa44aa5a84d6719b.jpg Good example of how the South African defence industry works when developing a home grown system. Army releases a reuirement it needs. Armscor, as an agent of the DoD sets out the project requirements to Denel. Specific operational requirements (range, altititude, number of targets it can simultaneously engage), system compatibility with current and future systems...you wouldn't want to accidentally shoot down a SAAF Oryx or Rooivalk during the confusion and stress of battle. So can the system be integrated with SAAB's Impi blue force tracker for example? SAAB's blue force tracker is fitted on almost all SAAF helicopters and transport aircraft. Can it fit into a C130? Can it be slung underneath an Oryx? Gives one an idea of what goes into developing such a system, and all the dozens and dozens of tests conducted before they become SA Army inventory. |
agaugust:Maybe Patchesagain or someone is willing to waste their time reading your post. I refuse to read through engineering you just make up on the spot, as you go along. Let me quote one small paragraph you typed thats shows whoever is reading this (Nigerians, South Africans, Others) that you have not got the slightest clue of what you are talking about, and this topic is beyond you. You typed this with your own fingers, no one held a gun to your head: "Your whole argument is d.estroyed by the fact that the speed of 550 mph, 650 mph, or 773 mph, all over 1,000 km/hr, is achieved by dropping that bomb inside a perfect vacuum where no air exists, so you have to suck out all the air on planet earth to achieve your 1,000 km/hr speed according to your own source evidence :" Now anyone with even the most basic grasp in physics can clearly see that the author of the above paragraph is clueless. The author (you) does not grasp one of the most basic universal laws. Your fatal mistake.....you quoted 3 different speeds (550, 650, 773 mph) for items falling inside a perfect vacuum. I repeat, you quoted 3 different speeds....for items falling in a perfect vacuum, dropped at 20 000 feet. What a shocker P.S a "paper calculated experiment" is simply called a calculation. |
agaugust:Your brain has exploded. You are clueless. You are a security guard that has never touched a calculator in his life. In air, objects fall at different speeds based on drag. I asked you, how can a skydiver fall at 200km/h, faster than Umbani, which you claim falls at 150km/h? You have completely hung yourself. You say no manufacturers releases the speed of guided bombs, THEN HOW DID YOU KNOW UMBANI FALLS AT 150km/h? You hacked into secret Denel files? They sent you a personal email? You have been exposed, you security guard fraud! And NO, they DID NOT do a complex experiment in a vacuum to determine the speed of 773 mph. How do you make a 20 000 foot vacuum? It's a basic basic CALCULATION you learn in grade 8. But we can't blame you, you don't learn such from under a tree. CALCULATION is the same way they find a RANGE of 550 - 650 mph depending on drag coefficient when falling in air. Even the lowest value of 550 mph is much higher than your fake 150 km/h. Exposed fraud.

agaugust:Listen to this fake military researcher who has clearly never touched a calculator or attended any physics class. The source cleary says anything dropped in a vacuum from 20 000 feet (feather, bomb, laptop, tank) would hit the ground at 773 mph. Not faster, not slower. 773 mph. There is no range "550-773 mph" for items falling in a vacuum you basic, tree educated, fo.ol. They accelerate at the same speed, and would hit the ground at the same speed from 20 000 feet. 773 mph. Basic physics. The only way for any piece of matter to hit the ground at a speed less than 773 mph from 20 000 feet is if it's dropped in normal, standard air altitude. 550 - 650 mph is the terminal velocity range. Terminal velocity is a direct function of drag co-efficient. Drag only exists in normal air, not in a vacuum you fo.ol. Those bombs fall between 550-650 mph in standard air. It's embarrassing that you typed this in big bold letters, when it's clear to everyone that you dont even know what terminal velocity is . I asked you, how can a skydiver with a higher drag coefficient than a streamlined bomb fall at a terminal velocity of 200km/h? But you claim Umbani only falls at 150km/h? Im sure your brain exploded when you saw that question. You are a fake. Utter, complete fake. Security guard who wishes he was a military researcher who "works with ex fighter pilots". Utter fake. |
agaugust:Again....you will be demolished every single time. Forcing you to make up sh*t as you go along. -Nigeria has NO/ZERO 35km air-air missile. You have an obsolete 3rd generation 22km missile. -Gripen with Iris-T will shoot down F-7 with PL-9 every single time. Fact. Deal with it. Even your master God Beegeagle says F-7's were a complete waste of money. High value scrap. -You see how you just make sh*t up? Today....2015....no airctaft can identify targets at 30000 feet? Are you ma.d? Seeker UAV can see a tennis ball at 5000 feet, you dont think a dedicated recon pod cant see artillery positions, convoys, radar masts, oil refineries at 30 000 feet? Gripen doesn't even need to be there....6km is just fine. Capturing target GPS locations, and relaying it back to Hawks. -Nigerian pretend air defences cannot cover all key positions. You keep running away from that point. We will gladly bomb your oil refineries, air port runways, bridges, arms depos, convoys etc etc. You will be stretched thin. -post proof NOW that Umbani travels at 150km/h. Show us an article which SPECIFICALLY states the speed of Umbani, and names Umbani by name. Umbani is not just a simple glide to target bomb. It can perform maneuvers when approaching target. You think a weapon which can perform a dog-leg turn over target, swoop down to hit at 90 degree angle is only travelling at 150km/h? -only a basic fo.ol like you educated under a tree will think a streamlined bomb, which a much much lower drag coefficient has a lower terminal velocity than a skydiver. A skydiver can fall above 200km/h. Now you come and tell us a streamlined bomb, falling from 30 000 feet will only reach 150km/h. Go back to school fo.ol. You see how you are a fake military researcher who starts making up numbers when he panics? |
agaugust:Told you. Your opinion is irrelevent. NAF has no immaginary 35km missile. Its 22km...deal with it. 1 Gripen escorting 2 Hawks, with multiple such attacks is more F-7's and PL-9 missiles than Nigeria can put in the sky. Your so called air force will be stretched thin, and demolished in one day. If Nigeria had Gripen and SA had F-7 you would still say SA's F-7 will shoot Gripen down? Are you m.ad? Roland SAM and other air defence cannot be at every key defence location. They cannot be all key oil refineries supplying fuel to troops, and also all air force bases, and also also command posts, and all artillery batteries, and also all supply convoys, etc etc. As said before Umbani and Paveway will demolish such sights....with deadly accuracy. Deal with it. South Africa has a key long range strike capability, to hit targets at pin point accuracy. Deal with it. |
