There I was doing 140km/hr on the M3 motorway, when an Audi RS GT appeared, passed and disappeared in what seemed like a blink. Something felt odd. Only later did I realise the customary roar was missing; there was complete silence. It was the fully electric Audi RS e-tron GT. It brought to mind the Rooikat CVED (Combat Vehicle Electric Drive). Imagine the possibilities when the tech matures. 7 Likes

Tinfoil:F 5 is still a highly capable and reliable aircraft. Some upgrades have been done over the years. 1 Like |

NTSA: Might you have any details on the upgrades? If they still have analog cockpits then it would be best to retire all of them, save fuel-money, and buy a lot of transport helicopters. African countries would be better off with UAVs than fighter aircraft because they cost less and would be more useful in a conflict against a peer state. Only N African countries can afford enough munitions to sustain a war for about 2 months |

Lurker4Long: The Rooikat CVED could actually enter enemy territory, recon and leave in complete silence... In fact, if the enemy does not have long-range thermal optics and ground radar (typically most African countries), no one would ever know it was even there. If you spot one, try cathing it doing 140km.. It would clear targets with it's stabilised gun without stopping along the way. That's some old-school engineering right there. |

GreenandGold:Well, it is tech from the late '90s (we produced a working prototype in 2006, I think?) so it is not completely silent, and the battery capacity is nothing like today's electric vehicles. |

Buschlaid: Ok, great! Military equipment from the DRC is very difficult to find. Apart from Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, Tunisia, Morocco, maybe Kenya, it's difficult to get military photos of other African countries. Military photos from the DRC is particularly difficult to find. 3 Likes |

kabe1: Yes, I know, it's similar case with Zimbabwe and Angola, maybe other countries too but I haven't yet been interested in them that much. I was able to find decent amount of Angolan military vehicles, but DRC and Zimbabwe are particularly difficult. Anyway, that's the reason why I'm asking here, since there might be people who might have some interesting pictures I wasn't able to come across due to language and regional barrier. 3 Likes |

NTSA: I'll look for some and ask around, but 601st is very secretive, since you know, they are SOF. Even we, Czechs, get to see them very rarely and our MOD rarely ever publishes any pictures of 601st to my knowledge. But I'll try my best |
