Lurker4Long:the Amauri is a very beautiful bird. Perfect for most airforces in sub Saharan Africa to the North. I wonder why it's doing poorly in the market ? |

willybaby:Orders for DRC and Mozambique. Invited to compete for the bids in Portugal and Poland late in 2024. Since commencing production in 2023 Q2, has any potential client in Africa bought something else? Explain what you mean by doing poorly. 9 aircraft sold in first year of production after 3 prototype iterations, doesn't sound that bad to me. 1 Like

Lurker4Long:Oh my bad, production timeline etc of the bird I came across seems to be false then. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Lurker4Long: 5:54pm On Dec 28, 2023 |
willybaby:It's an honest mistake. There was an unusually long time from the pre-production model (2nd prototype) to the production model (3rd prototype). Contractual disputes between the AHRLAC Company and Paramount; Paramount and Boeing (resulting in the cancellation of that marketing agreement) etc. What seems to have turned things around is when the aircraft made it to the last 5 shortlist of US SOCOM's "Armed Overwatch" competition. 3 Likes

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Lurker4Long: 9:29am On Dec 29, 2023 |
willybaby: Exnavyboy62: It was nowhere ready then. They hadn't even moved to the 2nd prototype stage. Even now, they're still busy with weapons integration and the aircraft in Mozambique is ISR only. |

Lurker4Long: They are not really the same kind of aircraft. The Tucano is primarily an attack/CAS aircraft while the other one is more of a counter insurgency/ recon /loitering aircraft. The Tucano is much more powerful and is comparable to attack jets while the Bronco (or whatever its called) will be much more comparable to drones. By this, I bet its strength would lie in its range. While they have a good level of overlap, they're not interchangeable. 1 Like |

Faithful007:Care to include some references to back up your opinion? Like what makes Tucano attack/CAS oriented? How is Mwari/Bronco deficient in this role? How is Tucano more powerful? etc etc? Substantiate your argument beyond mere assertions (as I used to tell 1st year students back at university when I was a student tutor). US SOCOM put them up in the same competition, won by the Air Tractor and from which Tucano was knocked out early. I rather think SOCOM knows its stuff. 2 Likes |

Lurker4Long: Sweden, USA and UK are heavily dependent on migrants. I believe if those migrants were to return where they came from, our continent won’t lag behind in terms of innovation. But then there arises the question, will they be provided the opportunity to be innovative in their home country…?? 1 Like |

I've now finished reading the SA "Genocide Convention" plea to the ICJ against Israel. It is 84 pages of rational, densely referenced, persuasive argument. Personally, I think it is 50/50 on the first charge, because I don't think the plea accomplishes the objective of demonstrating intent. The 2nd charge, incitement, should be a cinch, especially as it's the words of Israeli politicians uttering some vile things, repeatedly. The plea: https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20231228-app-01-00-en.pdf#page=72 Free Palestine! 2 Likes |

Lurker4Long: You are a lawyer? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Lurker4Long: 5:58pm On Jan 04 |
MiddleDimension:I initially studied law, graduated and was about to start pupillage. Changed my mind and went back to do economics. So, even though I've got the certification, no, I'm not a lawyer. The law as a discipline I still find fascinating, it's the practice I cannot abide. 1 Like |

Lurker4Long: why is that? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Lurker4Long: 7:55pm On Jan 04 |
MiddleDimension:Am I correct in presuming you're a lawyer? I love the philosophy behind and of the law. The practice I find to be bureaucratic drudgery. One proximate example would be the dichotomy believers experience between faith and organised religion. |

US DoD confirms Nigerian AH-1Z buy The US Department of Defense (DoD) has confirmed the sale of the Bell AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter to Nigeria, with a related contract notification posted on 19 December. Having been approved for the sale of 12 helicopters in 2022, Nigeria's procurement was confirmed with the announcement that Northrop Grumman had been awarded a USD7.7 million contract modification “for the production and delivery of an additional 32 H-1 tech refresh mission computers in support of the AH-1Z aircraft for the government of Nigeria”. Work on this contract is expected to be completed by June 2024. Nigeria's total AH-1Z procurement was estimated by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) to be valued at USD997 million, and comprised the helicopters, related equipment, spares, weapons, training, and support. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/defence/latest/us-dod-confirms-nigerian-ah-1z-buy 3 Likes
