"coolest" SAAF vids I've seen in a while.

SAAF

By @fifteensquadron and @omolemo

Ugly but effective.

SternProphet:
ARA is not a finished product. I am a mechanical engineer.

I also follow automotive and aerospace technology development processes carefully. The fact that prototypes are on display does not mean development is completed and we are ready for production.

I dont even think all Nigerian Army requirements are incorporated yet. When they are incorporated and development is completed, you won't have N.A. buying just 9 vehicles.

If Proforce is going ahead to procure tooling with an order book less than 100 vehicles, they have my sympathy

The Mwari aircraft is also not ready for production yet. Many years ago, wind tunnel testing alone would taje months but i understand that there are CAE/simulation packages now making things cheaper. Mwari would still need some SI work/certification with sensors and weapons. Then someone takes a decision based on orders received before a company can approach a bank to get financing for initial low rate production .

Sorry the real world is complex but so also is banking which looks easy to non bankers until they start talking about the complexities of risk


PS: One thing I find about Nairaland military threads is that only a few people like NemessisXu know the nitty gritty of military technology and how things really work from laboratories to factories. Every other person seems to think technology is just welding stuff together.

Thumbs up

These are supposedly SA Special Forces (4 SF Regiment). I personally can't verify but the boat looks familiar.

Odd question, out of curiosity. How old is everyone here? I'm 29.

Pride of the SAAF

Lol
Why don't you ask your apartheid brother who quoted with shiits first

You felt the need to reply with those statements to gain what exactly? For every point you listed there someone can list a reply. I don't see the point. But anyways

You see I don't like rubbing Nigerian leadership position on your face... But it seems you needed some quick reminder.

Dont worry, very soon, when the right leadership appears, Nigeria will lead all black folks to that promise land that we promised you all when we gain independence in 1960
Wait for it!

Why post this sh1t here? Because obviously someone is going to reply. Surely there's another thread for SA vs Nigeria (non military) debate.

CSIR light tactical vehicle demonstrator & weapons test bed.

Plofadder mine clearance. Can also be used as "human clearance" in a very desperate situation.

One of a couple projects sitting in the waiting line at Denel (funds pending). "Stealthy" Ingwe missile.

Low Cost Aerial Target System (LOCATS)

Typically used to train SA Army Air Defence Artillery crews, as well as missile qualification testing.

The useless blogger who can't even manage he's amateur african military crap site dares to speak shiiit.

I'm pretty sure he was just joking

World’s first digital laser unveiled in South Africa

"Researchers at South Africa's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) have unveiled the world's first digital laser.

The innovation is regarded as a milestone in laser technology and could spur future laser-related developments.

CSIR researcher Sandile Ngcobo conducted the breakthrough experimental work as part of his PhD studies.

The laser will allow the scientists to digitally control laser beams and shape new ways of developing technology that will improve various aspects of everyday such as faster broadband and medical advancements."


Laser innovation was from 2013. One wonders if a few inquisitive minds at Armscor and Denel have poked their heads at the CSIR to ask if there might be any military applications. Just speaking out loud....

Agree

Lets play ID the truck instead.

South African Special Forces urban training. Love how the first guy on the ladder whips out his sidearm immediately.

The early Rooivallk built, looks exactly like that contraption. So what's giving you a high BP?

Lmaooooooo

Henry240:
You shouldn't be shy to call my name, be a man.

Yes, from the post Lionel4power made, i stand 100% solidly behind my comments.

Back in 2014, the South-Africans laughed at the first Igirigi prototype, just 4 years on and many exports later, we are now a very recognized world class armoured vehicle manufacturer.

Today you got that solid right hand that brought you back to reality. I don't know why you get so over excited. You see an LCD in an F-7 and then come running with child-like excitement thinking you can now jump to LUH's. Today was the wake up call you needed.

I won't comment on that Igirigi matter & your consistent use of "world class" to seduce yourself, that's fine...deal with it how you need to. But you needed this.

I saw your reaction on the other thread . Maybe you're still a bit too shell shocked to type. I'll wait for an answer in your own words when you have time. If not, it's fine we can leave it.

And then when you make a valid point based on sound engineering practices, you get ridiculed. People saying nonsense that you're just jealous of Nigeria.

I invite the original poster (he knows who he is)....does he still believe that the Nigeria Air Force can develop a Light Utility Helicopter "soon"?

If this is what they presented, does he still stand behind his comments? Taking into consideration the time & effort of other LUH programs.
