South African Soldier - North Kivu, DRC

Henry240:
Saengine, you in particular are a disgusting hypocrite.


I never have recourse to call people out online, but your "holier than thou" attitude has provided me a need to call your bluff.


If you want to fvck off the thread, by all means leave. You like to laugh at the heat, but when it's turned around, you start preaching. Keep your sermons to yourself.

"By all means leave"...shame boo boo. Who was talking to you? You'll notice the person i was talking to was not you. Which "heat" has there been for me in the past many months? Go back to my history and you'll see when i stopped wasting data on you. I post pics and articles, simple.

I give a completely neutral heads-up that Denel will annouce its biggest contract this year. A simple statement for those interested both Nigerian and South African. Then someone feels the need to quote me and tell me how Denel products are "fake" simply to start an argument....just like a troll. That's what trolls do, deal with it. I explain how Denel functions just like any other high tech engineering company. Now you bring in your d*ck to this org.y just to try sound relevent....go hang, i dont care.

mzilakazi:
You are always making claims without supporting sources. You are indeed tiring us.

Reminds me why i stopped regularly posting here a long time ago. Just a big joke for trolls. Dozens of countries were involved in supplying components to NASA's Apollo programme. But under engineering management of NASA.

Same way in which Denel does detailed engineering work, calculations, drawings, test rigs etc etc. Once this is known, specific parts which are too expensive to manufacture are ordered. Those ordered parts are also themselves not off the shelf. The chosen supplier must adapt to whatever strict parameters are assigned to them. And i can tell you, most of the time when we order specific parts the manufacturer doesnt know where their component will be used and exactly what its for. We specify X input of force/temperature/etc and want Y output of this force/temperature/etc with Z space/weight/material/etc limitations.

Otherwise countries all over the world would have their own missile programmes simply by ordering parts from all over the world and assembling their own missiles. They cant do this because they didnt go through step one, in-house design and engineering.

You have a much better ability than me to waste your time on people on this thread.

Random info....look out for Denel's biggest contract ever this year. Bigger than Badger. Wont say which division or who the customer is, but will be considered a type of coup, considering who the customer usually buys equipment from.

mzilakazi:
ATR is not a fighter and any civilian trained pilot can fly it with no problem. F7 is just a copy of MIG platform which most mercs pilots have been trained in. Alpha jets are just a walk in the park. Hind is just a daily bread of the mercs pilots.

Ouch. Ouch....aaand ouch

DonBobes:
good 1. Dey even buy witout usin, except 4 decorations.

Because the likes of Boko Haram would never have the guts to take on SANDF in our own country. They did that with you because they know you're a useless bunch. How embarrassing is it that they had heavy equipment, painted in their colours, on your own soil. Within 15 minutes of a terrorist group driving around in armoured vehicles and using artillery, our airforce will blow them to bits. They know that, hence i can go to a market here in SA without wondering if a car will blow up. Boko Haram took on the Nigerian military on your home soil because they know you're useless. It took you years to assemble any sort of a well organised counter.

New mine protected recovery vehicle by Denel.

"The contractors were only teaching us to drive and stear the Reva MRAP's, they weren't fighting with us".....

More and more pics and stories will slowly come out as stated before. What a useless bunch.

R2 billion international deal for Denel Munitions. World class South African engineering.

Lol...these new revelations are funny. Only 7? Lmao

Nice lil piece of kit...

Navy Lynx....

SAS SPIOENKOP leaving for India today...

...

Side Fact....

The original Denel Raptor long range glide bombs were initially designed to carry low kilotonne nuclear warheads.

Henry240:
-You have 9 pilots for 26 Gripens.... Fact!

- none of your 9 Pilots is combat qualified..... Fact!

- You need tiny nation of Cuba to train your pilots...... Fact!

- Apparently hollywood style photos don't win wars, your Special forces troops had to learn this the hard way in the CAR.

Lazer guided 70mm rocket fired off Rooivalk. Thales Group test.

Let them say what they say....some of us know the truth.

http://m.timeslive.co.za/local/?articleId=15965166

SANDF Rooivalk attack helicopters have launched multiple attacks on Islamic-linked rebel forces in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Ugandan separatist Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) have been behind a spate of massacres at schools‚ hospitals and villages in the region.South African National Defence Force troops are in the area as part of a United Nations-backed peacekeeping mission to restore stability to the eastern DRC.

The attacks by the SANDF late yesterday were carried out despite the DRC government trying to forbid the UN's actions.Reports indicate that the helicopters caused considerable damage to several of the rebels' bases‚ although exact losses of ADF personnel are unknown.

Once upon a time this used to be a military thread

S-100 Camcompter off the deck of SAS Protea. Navy has shown interest in such. Denel currently developing something similar.

http://m.ewn.co.za/2015/09/27/Sandf-One-soldier-killed-in-a-rebel-ambush-in-Sudan

JOHANNESBURG - The South African National Defence Force (Sandf) says a South African soldier has been killed in a rebel ambush on a United Nations and African Union mission in Sudan.

Another soldier has been injured and is recovering in hospital.South African troops have been deployed in Sudan as part of the UN-AU mission in Sudan.

Sandf spokesperson Xolani Mabanga said, “They managed to repel the ambush but unfortunately one of our members died in the exchange of fire and another was seriously injured.”

Unlike the K-100.... which neither Russia nor India has ordered.

"Development of the first version of the A-Darter, a latest-generation IR-homing AAM, has been successfully concluded, with production due to start in South Africa soon. Developed in cooperation and cofunding with Brazil, the missile has already won an export order from an unidentified third country. (Brazil will start producing A-Darters later, the plan being to deliver the first missiles at the same time as the country receives its first Gripen E fighters.) Now, attention is switching to developing a Mark Two version of the missile and beyond that, a Mark Three. Also under consideration are an A-Darter Light model (for use by helicopters) and an A-Darter Ultralight, for UAVs."

So international customers are seeing the value of A-Darter. And I can tell you, through the grapevine that the number of customers
for A-Darter will not stop at 3. Many have visited Denel's Irene campus. Just a few political bottlenecks need to be sorted out first.

Patchesagain:
Brazil purchased the a darter

Meteor is still in development

There's also a third customer for A-Darter besides Brazil and SA.

High G Take-Off. SAAF Gripen in Europe.
Also a demonstration of how the Gripen canards allow for high A.O.A at low speeds.

You don't expect me to believe the date. You guys have told many lies here.

Go tell the man who took the pics that he's lying.

After the whole argument it is now clear that South African airforce and South African Navy have nothing special.

Your Gripens have no pilots
Your Oryx no pilot
Frigate no torpedoes, no ASW, no sailors.
Lynx just SAR.
Submarine only 1 can be at sea at a time.

What else does SAAF and SAN have? I guess camera men.

Am sure your have lot of camera men in your armed forces, and I think it's a basic requirement.
