agaugust:The South African Olifant mk1B main battle tank. The Olifant mk1B main battle tank was developed and produced by the Olifant Manufacturing Company, OMC Engineering pty Ltd, based in South Africa. Development of the Olifant started in 1976 and first entered service with the South African Armoured Corps in the late 1970s. OMC Engineering later became Reumech OMC, then Vickers OMC and, in September 2002 was renamed Alvis OMC, following the acquisition of Vickers Defence by Alvis plc. In September 2004, Alvis OMC became part of BAE Systems Land Systems. Olifant main battle tank development The layout of the Olifant mk1 was very similar to that of the South African Semel tank which was based on an upgraded conversion of the British Centurion tanks. The Olifant has been continually upgraded. The mk1A entered full-scale production in 1983 and the first were in service by 1985. In the same year that the mk1A entered the production phase, development work was started on the mk1B, and these tanks were in production during the 1990s and are operational in the South African Armed Forces. The South African Army has 172 Olifant mk1A/B main battle tanks in operation. The Olifant 1B entered service in 1991. The upgrades included the installation of a more powerful 105mm L7 cannon, a hand-held laser rangefinder and a first generation image intensifier. The range of the tank was increased by the installation of a diesel engine and additional fuel tanks. In September 2003, BAE Systems Land Systems OMC was awarded a contract by Armscor (the South African Department of Defence procurement agency) to upgrade 13 Olifant mk1B tanks. The upgrade programme included a new powerpack from Delkon which increases power by 15%, upgrade of gun and turret drives by Reutech Defence Logistics, new fire control system and target detection and engagement system with thermal imaging capability, both supplied by IST Dynamics. A follow-on contract for a further 13 tanks upgraded to Olifant mk2 standard was awarded in September 2005. The Olifant mk2 entered service in 2007. Olifant weapons The Olifant mk1B main battle tank is armed with the 105mm L7 rifled cannon main gun. The gun on the mk1B is fitted with a thermal sleeve for sustained accuracy in firing. The mk1B carries 68 rounds of 105mm ammunition. The tank is also fitted with a 7.62mm general purpose co-axial machine gun and a 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine gun. Fire control The driver's station is equipped with a day and night sight and the gunner's station is fitted with day and night sights and an integrated laser rangefinder. Self-protection The glacis plate and nose of the hull have been upgraded with the addition of passive armour and the turret has been fitted with stand-off armour. The installation of a double-armour floor gives the crew additional protection against mines. The running gear is protected against HEAT missiles by new sideskirts. A smoke screen can be laid by a fuel injection system in the engine's exhaust. A fire detection and suppression system improves the level of survivability. Engine The V-12 air-cooled turbo diesel engine provides 900hp. The tank has been equipped with torsion bar running gear and hydraulic dampers have been fitted to the first and last pair of wheels. Mobility The tank achieves a maximum road speed of 58km/h and the maximum range on internal fuel is 350km. The tank can ford water to a depth of 1.5m, negotiate gradients and slopes of 60% and 30% and vertical obstacles up to 1m in height. Olifant 2 main battle tank turret upgrade LIW, a division of Denel, has developed the Olifant 2 main battle tank turret, which can be fitted on an upgraded Olifant mk1B chassis, providing the tank with hunter killer modes of operation, fire on the move and day and night time engagement. The turret can be armed with either LIW's GT8 105mm or an LIW 120mm smoothbore gun and features periscopic stabilised day / thermal gunner's sight with laser rangefinder, panoramic commander's sight, full solution fire control system and modular armour package."

The response (44 Parachute Brigade, Bloemfontein), two rebels including a commander of the Hutu Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) allegedly killed and at least four wounded. This was after the rebels from two different factions believe first on the powers of the United Nations in the DRC (Monusco) shot. It was also paratroopers about three months ago in the Central African Republic (CAR) involved a few hundred rebels were killed in the Battle of Bangui. The paratroopers in the DRC is part of the North Kivu brigade Monusco. They will soon become part of the multinational ingrypingsbrigade rebels in the DRC must temper. This week's clashes, according Madnodje Mounoubai Monusco spokesperson, on Wednesday morning at the main rebel group in the area (M23) statements at Kanyanruchina outside Goma happen. About 30 rebels were about 06:00 on the way to this statement M23 shot back. Monusco soldiers on alert to keep an eye on the situation. They also had to ensure that the civilians in the area is safe and that the attackers near Goma. However, the rebels, according Mounoubai Monusco soldiers shot. They also allegedly accidentally in the middle of the South Africans landed statements and started shooting. In such circumstances the peacekeepers returned fire and the South Africans did not wait for them. Mounoubai said it was unclear exactly who the attackers were, but M23 claims it was the FDLR. M23 also claims spot. Soki Masuhuke, one of the commanders, was shot dead and a photo of his body on the internet. The rebels claimed the attack came in preparation for an expected massive onslaught by ingrypingsbrigade M23. According to South African soldiers in the DRC, it was a normal shootout without any reinforcement. The paratroopers were prepared and opened fire with their R4's when the rebels opened fire first. The ingrypingsbrigade still rounded and consists of soldiers from South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi. Helmoed-Römer Heitman, military expert, believes the rebels have now got the message that they do not have the South Africans struggling. "Hopefully the message through to the other rebels. After the Battle of Bangui the paratroopers sharp prepared for any attack. The rebels with the wrong guys looking for trouble. " |

andrewza: Improved effort after the bitter learning from CAR? Is the SA media also in on the effort to portray a stronger SANDF? The writer's opening lines would suggest so. However, the story from the translation still remains sketchy, so let's expect that there are some direct English sources available to corroborate the story. This UN mission has its task cut out squarely. http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/2013/05/17/sandf-learning-from-bangui-to-prepare-for-congolese-peacekeeping |

Possible talking points have been highlighted in bold type. http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/2013/05/17/sandf-learning-from-bangui-to-prepare-for-congolese-peacekeeping ================================================ SANDF ‘learning from Bangui’ to prepare for Congolese peacekeeping by Hopewell Radebe, 17 May 2013, 10:17 THE South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is drawing lessons from its battle with Seleka forces in the Central African Republic to prepare for future peacekeeping operations in Africa, army chief Lt-Gen Vusumuzi Masondo said on Thursday. The SANDF lost 14 soldiers during the battle against the rebel forces in the Central African Republic capital of Bangui in March. South African soldiers are deployed in peace missions in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in Sudan, but preparations are under way to send troops to spearhead offensive operations against an array of irregular but war-hardened forces in the eastern Congo. It is the first such move in Africa’s history to have a United Nations mandate to physically neutralise and disarm M23 rebels groups. Three battalions from South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi will make up the 3,069-strong force, called an intervention brigade, that will be based in Goma, the capital of the chronically unstable North Kivu province. An SANDF battalion at full strength numbers between 850 and 1,000 soldiers. "The South African army is indeed suitably prepared and equipped for the conditions that it may encounter during peace support operations," Lt-Gen Masondo told reporters in Pretoria. However, he warned that although everything was being done to prevent casualties on the battlefield, no battle could be totally controlled. "Even with all available intelligence resources focusing on trying to establish just that, it is the quality of soldiering that in the end decides the result when conflict is inevitable," he said. Lt-Gen Masondo said the SANDF had fulfilled all its "joint force employment" commitments sanctioned by the African Union and the UN, including internal missions such as border guarding, for the 2012-13 financial year. He conceded, however, that the defence force was "overstretched, especially in the infantry, engineer, intelligence, signal and support capabilities". "An increase in requests for internal and external support has led to the army deploying available force levels for extended periods exceeding what is deemed the international norm," he said. "Such strain can only be sustained for a limited period, whereafter mission readiness may become compromised." The SANDF also had to comply with internationally accepted standards for the rotation of personnel, protective measures and logistical support, he said. Other than in conflict situations, the SANDF also deploys soldiers along South Africa’s borders in the battle against smuggling, illegal border crossings, livestock theft and rhino poaching. Thirteen companies are deployed along the country’s borders. Since January last year, South African soldiers contributed to the confiscation of 15,391kg of dagga and 2,782 dagga plants, apprehended 12,409 undocumented immigrants, recovered 76 vehicles, confiscated contraband to the value of R18.3m, and recovered 98 illegal firearms. |

CraigB:abeg,make I hear word,abi na sentence. You seem to have left another interesting point of arguement. Invasion of privacy or not.you need not be told that the government(federal) would always have a certain amount of supremacy on any state laws and can breach it unhindered. You say US only uses those balloons on other nations of interest,but u forgot that the US has the world's largest database on all its citizens.meaning privacy is only determined when you are not a potential threat to the state.t The CIA still keeps records of phone calls and online transactions of selected few citizens even though it has coverage over all americans.but it targets only potential threats. The US is wise enough to know that no matter how powerful it is,it still can't manage records of every movement and actions any american does.its knows that can crash the US. U speak of privacy,the ballons have missions,they are not designed to manouver over the entire Nigerian airspace,that's a total waste of resources. They would be deployed to strategic areas only. The SSS can track any line,access any communication portal without needing graphic imagery of locations.the satelites are also still up and functioning. In case of necessity,the ballons are strategic to their purpose,they serve short term needs,satelites serve long term needs. Any citizens privacy isn't affected by UAV's,Spy balloons,Satelites,or moles.if you have a clean slate,then you need not worry about the govt launching monitoring or surveillance programmes. No matter any state law.the directive of the presidency on National Security over-rules the application of any such laws. |
