South-African Bush War Soldiers.

Apparently the South-African army spent nearly 27 years fighting in Angola.

NAF training special forces K9 units. It seems in collaboration with a South African private security company.

Henry240:

African armies don't usually have aviation wings. Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, RSA rotary aircrafts are used by the individual "airforces" of the respective countries. This trip to the US is very important.

If you're talking about the avaition wing of a developing country, then, yes we are. We're under-studying the Army Avaition Wing of the Colombian army.

[s]Umm.....no. Some say an army aviation wing also has fixed wing as own lift ,like the British Army Air Corps with Apaches,Gazelles,Pumas and Islander light transport but not necessarily. Here we have the independent 50 aircav I've mentioned at least twice here. Formed in '81 they're the KDF aviation wing though strictly gunships with transport remaining with the KAF.
They began with 35 MD 500s but 2 years ago got the more modern MG 530s and 10 or so Z9s which should reach at least 2 squadron strength (24) in 2 years. That's the publicly admitted ToE which I'm told will change dramatically by 2021-22[/s].

Saffas,tell us-can we expect anything new from Ramaphosa? Will he increase your defence budget to a level commensurate with a GDP per capita of 7000$,1.2 m km2 and continental ambitions? Will we see at least one more squadron of Grips,with one twin engine deep strike FSB squadron along with the implementation of the rest of delayed projects like more lift or more of the same? If as frumentius,it was IIRC who said,"the Grips will fly til they fall out of the sky," that will be a loss for all Africans.
Anything cooking?

Edit: I specifically recall Eeben Barlow saying on his blog a Western diplomat actually told him outright:"SA is too large and would ideally be broken up into at least 3 different nations." !!? Jack Miller may be just testing the waters with his 'Free the Cape,' noise,but maybe not! Saffas,don't get caught offside.

off topic
what do you think of the Ganduje/Sanusi issue?

Henry240:

What are you talking about?

I clearly stated "don't usually". Please read and understand properly.

kikuyu1:


Calm yourself! Didn't you say,'African armies,don't usually have aviation wings?' I corrected you with the example of the KDF 50 aircav. Where's the beef?

Henry240:

[s]Bros, do you have a comprehension problem?[/s]

Don't usually simply means in rare cases. 1 out of 1000.

Yes, I have always been aware that Kenya Army operates an air wing. It's not new information.

Calm yourself! Didn't you say,'African armies,don't usually have aviation wings?' I corrected you ( u supported his point) with the example of the KDF 50 aircav. Where's the beef?
