agaugust: Yeah cuba had no war experience other than a civil war, a US funded invasion and supporting commie rebels across the world. And you do know most of the SA solders where teenage conscripts to. We switched to the warriors for ops copper some time ago. Patrolling our coast line is actual the job of the Police water wing, DAFF and parks serves. Unless a civilian boat enters a restricted area we cant do nothing. We a navy not a coast guard. Since there are no pirates in SA there is no job for the Navy in SA. when we do patrol we carry cops to do the actual boarding's since it there justricstions. You mean Seleka is still scared of the SA army. Remember they requested the cease fire not us. 1 Like |

agaugust: shows just how miss informed you are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLONASS Satlites are some of the worst means since they only spend a brief time over there target area. They useless in tactical needs. Sure they can, if the satlite is over that area at that time of day meaning the rest of the area is not being watched and rember SA has satlite tracking stations. So we will know where the blind spots are. And that information is useless, why do you think GPS is used against static targets, I will give you a hint, it the word static. SAAF Hawks where integrated with the same pods used on the cheeta C. Other than or range of mobil radars. Any case your ATRs have no means to prosecute targets and there comms can be jammed making them useless. They can see but that is all, And using that radar gives away there position to. And your point is what? could any of those guys deploy weapons to shoot back at the alpha jets? And NAF spends there days shooting at pic up trucks where SAAF spends there time training to fight a war vs a actual threat. |

EVarn: Seleka rebels that though both out numbered us and out gunned us suffered heavy losses. Rhino poachers are still mostly a SANPARK issue, SANDF only helps out. Either way we still kill and capture hundreds of poachers and we still have more rhinos than the entire world combined. Not one act of piracy in Angolan waters since our deployment. Cuba sent there best solders and the USSR spent more money there than in Astan. |

agaugust: Talk about changing the subject. Easy, by using passive systems. They don't need to be behind the enemy line, our mobile radar can still cover hundreds KM behind enemy line while being behind our own. All GPS is run by the USAF, no matter what country, even that garmin you bought uses USAF. By the point is Moot, we use INS to, in fact GPS is a bad idea since EW can effect it. Actually the hawks do have targeting pods. Sorry, they have far better systems than your 2 MPAs Yes you can, SA hit many a moving target in the 1970s and 1980s with out radar, IR or any thing. Data link is for sending data, including targeting data. Aka here is a target for you to shoot. Why NATO? |

agaugust: Sorry you still playing catch up. Sure your 2 MPAs can find targets but that is it. The gripen and hawk can both find and attack said targets. We all so have more tyes of ISRT sytems than you have aircrafts. 1 Like |

agaugust: Data link is used every hour of every day in the SANDF. It is a sytem that all new SANDF radios are a part of. It is not some paper thing but a actual think in use. Data link means some one else can do the targeting work for you. That is what people are trying to tell you Data link includs a blue force tracker to prevent freindly fire. They may still take place but the odds are reduced greatly. 2 Likes |

agaugust: Actualy you can. A umkhonto was all ready fired at a target a seprat ship locked on to. Basicaly Ship A shot the tartet while only ship B had's radar on. But that is hardly the point. The PGM does not need Radar. The hawk can carry a targeting/recc pod. The same one built for the cheeta so the Hawk has FLIR then. But this is all a moot point since you need none of this. by making use of GPS/INS guidance. Increased targeting accuracy can be achieved by using an Imaging Infrared (IIR) with complete Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) capability, or a semi-active laser seeker. The system can also be fitted with an RF proximity fuze for area targeting, using a prefragmented warhead. Fly to point, drop bomb and then the bomb does the rest. 3 Likes |

agaugust: What 20mm though and what is the VBL made of, how strong is the supenstion and how effect by maintance is the VBL20. Those toyat's with 23mm guns have a very short life, the recoil damges it and will cause somthing to break, thuse you will have maintance issues out your ears. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by zaandrew: 8:51pm On Nov 20, 2014 |
agaugust: Means that there units are not activate but the guns are kept ready. Those not in storge are used for training those in storge are the ones used for war, they are thus kept combat ready and cost less to maintain due to being used less. Those not in storge are kept at our training centres, where they can actually be fired, you need a massive shooting range to fire them, most countries do no have a range big enough to fire the G6 at max range. UK, USA and others does something similar, they have a lot of AFV in storage near where they will be used, Aka main land Europe. |

agaugust: What upgrades though, there are many upgrade option. Changing to a new version is a major upgrade and would get a mention. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by zaandrew: 8:38pm On Nov 20, 2014 |
agaugust: But you boaught after the upgraded guns where up and ready. Ay case you have zero proof of a upgrade so lets go with no upgrade. |

MikeZA: MK wasn't really a military threat,the apartheid government would often let its police force deal with them. One book I read about a SADF officer (later a SANDF genrail) had him say "the first time I met any one from MK was after 1994" he spent his years fighting cubans, angolans and nambians(no nigerians heee) and training others to fight them. MK never factored in. And this guy I am talking about was high up he still gets called in to help with stuff. 1 Like |

patches689: That was perfmant force, reserve force and commandos. I mean 350 000 permant force. That was our size during the mid 1990s though most where ex librastion forces. The numbers where dropped prety fast. Aguby all so fails to take in to account that nigeria has 170 million people where SA is 55 million. SA has more solders per civlian rastio than nigeria. And our budget needs to be dived among less people. Haveing a big army does not help if the poorly equiped, trained, motivated and led. 1 Like |

agaugust: He is a reporta. I am glade he did not call a R4 a macgin gun. He was talking about a MLRS the name is what gave it away. There where 7000 seleka. He never said all of them took part in the attack. No it was 250 odd vs 3000. Only half the number of partroopers where deployed. The 1500 is old numbers. |

agaugust: but we don't have BH in south Africa, in fact southern Africa as no real threats other than some time stuff in moimbque. SA is spending at peace time levels where in Nigeria defence is one of the biggest things on the budget in SA it is one of the smallest. SA at full war time econmy would be able to easly fiels 350,000 |
