Namibia to receive RG32M armoured vehicles




Namibia will receive the eight RG32M mine-hardened armoured patrol vehicles that it has ordered for its army from Denel Vehicle Systems by the end of March, the South African group announced on 19 January.

The Namibian vehicles are right-hand drive and have a different internal layout to previous models, a Denel source told IHS Jane's. The order also covers four Denel Mechatronics SDROW small remote weapon stations, which can be fitted with a variety of light machine guns and the Denel PMP 20 x 42 mm iNkunzi Strike support weapon.

The RG32M is a 9.5-tonne patrol vehicle that has enjoyed significant export success, with close to 700 exported . Open sources list 380 exported to Sweden, which has employed them in Afghanistan and Mali; 74 to Finland; and others to Slovakia and the United Nations (UN). The Irish Army acquired 26 of the RG32LTV variant, which is slightly larger and 800 kg heavier, has a different configuration, and offers greater mine protection.

The RG32M is well-suited to peace support and similar operations, combining good protection and off-road mobility with an inoffensive appearance. Its compact dimensions and low mass also make it easier to deploy than many vehicles offering a similar level of protection. Depending on the destination airfield and its distance, an Il-76, A400M, or An-70 transport aircraft could transport three; a C-130J, two; and a C-27J, one.

P.S. @chkil, I was pretty sure that no.17 is not Samora Machel so I went to check. The Nelson Mandela Foundation has the same photo up, where they appeal for anyone to id the rest of the people. Only 3 people have been identified: Mandela (15), Ben Bella(5) and Agostinho Neto (16).

well the pic was taken in algerian- maroccan borders (oujda) and identification in arabic identify also Samora Machel , i found another source that identify samora in 16 and augustino 17, i havn't found a pic of him young to compare , but most important that many africans futur leaders received training in Algeria and sent contingents of their fighters for training in the Algerian camps . (mandela from south africa, Tambo, Samora Machel of Mozambique, Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo of what was then Rhodesia, Amilcar Cabral of Guinea Bissau, Agostinho Neto of Angola. and others ..

That's what I thought initially. I felt i was going to see gauges all over the place. The cockpit is modern, with 2 LED displays. It goes further to prove the Nigerian F-7 is an upgraded, multi-role aircraft.

In what way does a JF17 look like a raptor?? You didn't even mention the F16.

Jf17 in no way looks like the raptor in terms of design or whatsoever. How can a single engine aircraft look like a twin engine?

Moreover, F22 is more advance compared to the F35. Better avionics etc so it's for the US alone.

Myanmar just seem to be able to read my mind in defence issues.It seems they want to go full tilt and co-produce the Jf-17 with Pakistan. Quote below.

After deciding to purchase 16 JF-17 Thunder multi-role combat aircraft in 2015, Myanmar is
now in advanced negotiations with Pakistan to also licence-build the third-generation fighter,
defence industry sources in Yangon and sources close to the Myanmar Air Force (MAF) told
Jane's in mid-January.......

Look, no one is questioning the important role Algeria played in the liberation of the continent. This is all our collective history, so let's get the facts right:
1) Mandela was NOT the future 1st president of SA; he was the future 1st democratically-elected president;
2) Samora Machel was not in Algeria in 1962. He went into exile in 1963, and was sent to Algeria, as an ordinary recruit, part of the 2nd group of FRELIMO to be sent there. source: [Christie, Iain, Machel of Mozambique. Harare: Zimbabwe Publishing House, 1988];
3) The brothers Cabral were not at the gathering either. The party they founded, the PAIGC, was represented there by a delegation led by Aristides Pereira. source: [Chabal, Patrick, Amilcar Cabral: Revolutionary Leadership and People's War. New York and Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 1983].

As I said, only 3 people have been definitively identified in that photo, by both Nelson Mandela and Noureddine Djoudi, who was Mandela's interpreter on that trip and later, Algerian ambassador to South Africa.

More pics from that same trip, courtesy of the Algerian Embassy to SA:

2 units of these, and 2 Type-056 Corvettes is my ideal defence, surface fleet posturing for the Nigerian navy.
