fish brain saffers, it trends on nairaland doesn't mean its confirmed... now you quote an obscure website

Our attention has been drawn to multiple news reports that Nigerians less than 40 years of age will not be granted visa to the UAE. While Bespoke Vacations is not in a position to refute this, it is important to note that a UAE Visa application needs to be sponsored by a Dubai Destination Management Company (DMC), Nigerian travel agencies get their visas through various DMCs. Bespoke Vacations get its visas through a State owned DMC which this alleged new policy does not apply to. Based on this, we will continue to get visas for Nigerian passport holders irrespective of their age until we are directed to do otherwise. As a matter of fact, we got four (4) visas yesterday for two male and two female Nigerians all below thirty (30) years old. We are neither in position to determine the process which is in place for other agencies, nor is it our place to speak on their behalf. Therefore we can speak only for our company. Nigerians irrespective of their age can take advantage of our ongoing Dubai Vacation Offer to get a taste of the City of Sand and Sun, click here for details.

Diehl’s IRIS-T Surface Launched missile has successfully demonstrated its full performance envelope and achieved qualification after three firings at the Overberg Test Range last month.

Diehl said the three guided firings were executed in different short- to medium-range and very low- to high-altitude scenarios and that all of them resulted in direct hits of the target drones. To prove the capabilities of IRIS-T SL, jet target drones of different sizes were used performing a large variety of realistic evasive manoeuvres.

The first target was engaged at a distance of more than 30 km. The IRIS-T SL missile flight time was about one minute, reaching an altitude above 12 km. Despite an evasive manoeuvre involving changing direction and altitude, a direct hit of the target was achieved, proving the medium range capabilities of IRIS-T SL.

The second firing was at very close range to the launch point to prove the missile´s short range engagement capabilities. During this firing, IRIS-T SL jettisoned its aerodynamic cover shortly after launch, immediately initiating a hard turn-over manoeuvre towards the low flying target. The entire engagement lasted less than 10 seconds and also ended with a direct hit.

The third firing was carried out against a very small, fast and agile target drone featuring high agility and extreme manoeuvring capability. A direct hit was achieved at 12.5 km range and 1.5 km altitude even though the drone performed aggressive dive/pull-up evasive manoeuvres.

The performance demonstration firings concluded a series of test firings as part of the IRIS-T SL system development. Having been contracted by the Federal Office of Bundeswehr for Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), representatives of the BAAINBw as well as the German Air Force witnessed IRIS-T SL’s performance in full accordance with the requirements of the German Air Force. IRIS-T SL is planned to be a component of the future German Air and Missile Defence System (TLVS).

Diehl has used Overberg for testing in the past – for instance in mid-January 2014 the company tested the IRIS-T SL with the new CEAFAR active phased array radar from CEA Technologies in Australia, the BMD-Flex command, control and communication system from Terma in Denmark and the Oerlikon Skymaster battle management system from Rheinmetall Air Defence in Switzerland. A low-flying EADS Do-DT 25 jet target drone was destroyed at 20 km. Earlier test firings took place in November 2013.

The IRIS-T SLM (Surface Launched Medium range) air defence system is a modular design featuring open system architecture, allowing it to use a variety of radars and control systems. It is being developed for Germany as a stop-gap to the Medium Extended Air Defence System (Meads) being produced by Lockheed Martin and MBDA and is a ground-launched version of the infrared homing IRIS-T in service with the South African Air Force. It has a sharp nose cone to reduce drag that is separated prior to approaching a target.

Diehl Defence said the mobile, medium-range systems provide comprehensive 360 degree protection against air attacks by aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and guided weapons. They allow simultaneous engagement of several targets even at very short distances thanks to extremely short reaction times.

The Denel Overberg Test Range (DOTR) is a missile and aircraft test range that provides turnkey flight test, system certification and performance evaluation services for missiles, rockets, bombs, guided munitions and aircraft. The range can manage and carry out air, ground and sea flight tests. It has the facilities to evaluate and measure the performance of aircraft, their avionics systems and their carriage and release of ordnance. The range is also able to conduct anti-tank tests, helicopter-based tests and electronic warfare tests.

With more than 43 000 hectares of terrain and almost 70 km of uninhabited coastline, the Test Range is a perfect arena for testing stand-off weapon systems.

Weapons tested at the DOTR include the Taurus Systems KEPD-350 stand-off missile, the MBDA Storm Shadow stand-off missile, the IRIS-T, Thales Starstreak, MBDA Mistral air defence missiles, Denel Dynamics Umkhonto surface-to-air missile, Umbani guided bomb kit and A-Darter air-to-air missile.

How sure are you that SA is still an AIDS capital? Your country Nigeria does not have official stats, only estimations. Nigeria could be an AIDS capital in the world, only if valid and reliable stats can be conducted, but that procedure will bankrupt Nigerian government and will also be a way more risky especially for those (field workers) who will be used to collect stats in the North.

Turkey Moves To Demine, Contracts To Follow

ANKARA — After several years of delays, Turkey's Parliament has passed a bill for clearing more than 1 million landmines, mostly in Turkey's southern and eastern border areas. Industry sources say several contracts, big and small, are on the way.

The law orders the founding of a National Mine Center and tasks it with "making policy, strategy and work plans to remove threats from landmines and other unexploded ammunitions." The center also will set up and operate an information management system.

"Eventually, this effort will bring in several contracts for specialized companies, Turkish and foreign," said one industry executive who deals with munitions. "Contracts will involve both clearance work and equipment."

Analysts and industry sources agree that the entire program will entail contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The law, passed in Parliament's general assembly on Jan. 22, grants customs and import tax exceptions to "all kinds of equipment, vehicles and machinery that will imported for the purpose of demining."

Although one procurement official familiar with the demining program said foreign and local companies would race for demining contracts, deputies in a last-minute move during parliamentary debate annexed an article that favors local companies over foreign ones.

The article states that "local companies should be given priority in acquisition of goods and services in landmine clearance activity."

The annex was a proposal from an opposition deputy, Mehmet Seker.

"We wanted to force foreign companies into partnerships with local companies," Seker said during the debate.

Another opposition deputy, Mehmet Gunal, echoed the same view.

"It would be humiliating for Turkey to award demining contracts [solely] to foreign companies," he said. "Turkish companies too should participate in biddings."

"We expect to see productive partnerships and strong competition among several bidders," the procurement official said.

In 2009, the Turkish government moved to lease vast swaths of territory along the Turkish-Syrian border in exchange for clearing it of the landmines. After two weeks of hot debate, Parliament withdrew the draft bill that would lease the land "to a private company for 44 years in return for destroying the mines that had been planted there during the past decades."

During the debate, the Turkish military said NATO's Maintenance and Supply Agency, or NAMSA, should be considered as a primary choice for carrying out the demining task.

Under the Ottawa Treaty banning anti-personnel landmines, Turkey was obliged to remove by March 2014 landmines planted on about 176 square kilometers of territory bordering Syria. Turkey ratified the treaty in 2003.

In 2013, the Turkish military received four South African-made Husky vehicle-mounted mine detectors. Husky is a mine-removal system developed by Dorbyl Rolling Stock Division of East Rand, Gauteng, South Africa. The vehicles at that time cost Turkey more than US $100 million.

The Husky system was developed in the 1970s for the South African Defence Force to clear mines from military convoy routes in Namibia and Angola. It consists of two Husky vehicles. The first one acts as a mine detection vehicle and the second as a towing/mine detection vehicle.
