CAMEROONPRIDE: ahaha no pictures
How about Libya can we still rank them?

sheyie2007:
We'll get there boss, at least we built our satellite

snydergp:

Libya was a different story because its army and structures were weakend by military commanders and soldiers who changed ranks. If a population revolts against its goverment no army in the world can stop them.

snydergp:

So what we built three already. We practically gave the world some of the most sophisticated satellite tracking systems and were still the leaders on that front, even NASA uses our systems from time to time in satellite communications and research.


SA still operates the only space launching, tracking and development base on the continent which used by Sweden and other countries for weapons integration testing and launching.

solomon111: we have our own space research facility,which is world class from what i have heard.

That is an achievement from a black nation... the world applauded us for that.. it's all over the internet.... the world emphasized "first African built"

The satellite is the result of a transfer training agreement between Nigeria's National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, a satellite developer based in the United Kingdom. It brought 26 young scientists from NASRDA to work on the satellite for 18 months, under the supervision of experts in Surrey.

Those people didn't do their research properly, because what I know is that we already had three satellites before Nigeria ever thought of building their first satellite.

Your systems? Built by?

Denel will use this month’s IDEX (International Defence Exhibition and Conference) in Abu Dhabi to debut the Al-Tariq precision-guided bomb kit.

The kit is the first product to come out of the Tawazun Dynamics stable. The company is a joint venture between the South African government-owned defence industry conglomerate and Tawazun Holdings, an investment and defence manufacturing company owned by the government of Abu Dhabi.

Denel Dynamics announced the joint venture at last September’s Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) exhibition at AFB Waterkloof. Tawazun Dynamics is the Middle East region’s first facility for the development, manufacture, assembly and integration of precision-guided systems for conventional air munitions.

Denel products will also be on display at a number of IDEX stands including the South African pavilion. The focus will be predominantly on missile technology, unmanned aerial vehicle systems, landward defence and turret systems for mechanised infantry.

This is part of strengthening Denel’s marketing campaign in the Middle East and Africa, Riaz Saloojee, Denel Group CEO, said. Last year official delegations from 52 countries attended the United Arab Emirates (UAE) defence exhibition.

“We have identified the Middle East as a primary region for our new marketing drive to grow Denel’s business. At IDEX we have an opportunity to put some of our flagship products on prominent display and speak directly with potential clients.”

Denel has maintained strong relations with clients in the Gulf region for many years. The G6 self-propelled artillery system, manufactured by Denel Land Systems, is currently in use by the defence forces of the UAE and Oman.

A scale model of the Seeker 400, the new generation tactical unmanned aerial vehicle system, will be on the Denel stand. Denel Dynamics will also showcase its tactical missile products including the Mokopa anti-armour system, Umkhonto-IT surface-to-air missile and the Ingwe laser-guided anti-tank missile.

Denel Land Systems will display scale models of its recently upgraded G6-52. The mobile self-propelled gun-howitzer has been upgraded with an increased firing range and ability to fire up to eight rounds per minute.

The company’s range of turret systems for armoured fighting vehicles will also be demonstrated. Last year Denel signed a R3.5 billion contract with Malaysia to supply turrets and integrated weapon systems for fitment to 8X8 armoured vehicles.

The NTW-20 anti-materiel rifle always attracts attention at defence exhibitions and IDEX is expected to be no different for this weapon. It can destroy high-value targets with the pin-point accuracy of a sniper rifle without causing extensive collateral damage to the surrounding environment.

Other Denel Land Systems infantry weapons that will be showcased are the SS77 general-purpose machine gun, the SS77 Compact machinegun and the GLI-40 automatic grenade launcher.

Denel PMP will market its locally developed Neopup 20mm Personal Area Weapon (PAW) which fires bursting munitions accurately at high-value targets. The Neopup is a semi-automatic grenade launcher carried and fired by a single rifleman and is effective at distances of up to 1 000m. PMP is confident this weapon will attract interest at IDEX.

yes overberg is a defense force run testing ground and was built by south Africans.

A launch site or what?

This was taken from a UNODC report and it excludes terrorist related deaths. Go google the UNODC report yourself and then come and say that same sh*t again.

Henry120: Inasmuch as I believe black south africans are gross underachievers, I do not agree with my fellow compatriots who refer to white south africans as non african, white south africans have been in southern africa by far more than white people have been in north america( usa and canada). White african, black african, indian african all are africans. So let us jettison this crude idea.

The South African National Defence Force’s Project Radiate to replace existing radios has functioned as a springboard for electronics company Reutech, which is marketing the range internationally.

Reutech Communications was present at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi last week and was promoting its new range of interoperable HF to UHF radios as used for Project Radiate. “There has been a lot of interest at IDEX,” said Johan Volschenk, Regional Head: South Asia at Reutech Communications.

Volschenk told defenceWeb the Project Radiate radios are ready for production and Reutech is ready to market them elsewhere – he noted that Radiate was the springboard for the sale of the radios overseas. He said the Middle East area offered good synergy for Reutech products. However, as companies like Harris and Thales are well entrenched in the Middle East area, so Reutech has not done much business in the region.

The Radiate-type radios, like the MCR2005 manpack system, have features like frequency hopping, built in datalink, embedded electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), GPS, antenna matching system, SMS capability and USB, Ethernet and Bluetooth interfaces.

Reutech offers a wide variety of military radios for ground, sea and air applications. The Project Radiate radios encompass short, medium and long range communication systems, such as the V/UHF MCR3005, the VHF MCR2005 manpack system, the MCR1025 HF manpack, the vehicular V/UHF VCR2050 and VCR3020 radios and the HF VCR1100. The FCR5050, HF FCR1100, PCR4001 and VCR4001 radios will follow at a later stage.

The first phase of Radiate deliveries should take place in 2013 – these will involve vehicle and manpack radios. The other radios will gradually be phased in over several years. Since the new radios are backward compatible with old sets, they can be phased in smoothly.

All Reutech’s landward radios are Link-ZA compatible and feature encryption, frequency hopping and an onboard GPS receiver for situational awareness. The radios Reutech is supplying to the SANDF as part of Radiate were designed as a family from the start for ease of use across all systems in terms of logistics and human-machine interface functionality.

Around 4 000 vehicle radios will be produced for Project Radiate, and similar numbers of manpack radios will be produced. Around a thousand radios will be delivered every year.

The SA Army and its sister services still use the A53 and A55 hardware-defined manpack VHF radios and their vehicle-mounted stablemates, the B57 and B56, in service since at least the mid-1970s. This was joined by the digital C21 HF radio in the 1990s.

Reutech also specialises in radar systems, logistic support, artillery fuzes and remote turrets.

Capnd143: ok i got enough of that insult bro! Couldnt you just argue like a[b] mature netizen[/b] without name calling,charater defamation,and saying sh*t? Am not the type that argues with such people bro. Kindly repost with politeness or classify urself among the immature ones. Thanks, no harm meant.

Ignorance is truly bliss in your community

Capnd143: well, thanks for the name calling bro, i for ones thought i was arguing with mature netizens.
It is very clear and obvious you googled that and post those links to prove me wrong, nice move though, but i can clearly remember saying i havent heard of robbery cases in my area bt not denying the existence of such.

Based on your statement/comments it is evident that your opinion are drawn from an incorrect argument in logic and rhetoric resulting in lack of validity or more generally a lack of soundness. It is however innevitible to say that your comments are non sequiturs, appeal to probability,fallicies of argumentum ad ignorantiam,argumentum ad buculum,argumentum ad nauseam,argumentum e silencio, fallacy of division, fallacy of composition and thus make you a circular reasoner. No harm meant bro. Thanks.
