agaugust:Worry not African brother,cause your big brother from the South is coming to rescue you. ![]() ![]() ![]() The South African Army will be on standby from December 1 to deploy as part of the African Union's African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crisis force. Currently 1500 soldiers - including from the infantry, artillery and armoured divisions, engineers and medics - are preparing for combat in some of the deadliest hot spots, including fighting Islamist terrorists in Somalia, Mali and Nigeria. http://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2014/09/26/gearing-for-war 1 Like 1 Share |

AugustineAgain: You failed to anserw how you will hit a moving ship from 12km high with unguided weapons. To hit the RN ships with dumb bombs the Argies flew so close that many bombs failed to arm. |

Denel Dynamics is busy with a proof of concept project to improve the accuracy of standard 155 mm artillery rounds, the company has announced. The project aims to develop a precision fuse, dubbed the AcuFuse, within the same footprint as a MIL-STD-333B Multi-option Fuse for Artillery (MOFA) short intrusion fuse. This will allow artillery operators to select an accurate solution by simply replacing the standard fuse with the AcuFuse when high-precision firing is required. Due to its accuracy, aimed to be between 10 m and 20 m circular error probability at all ranges, AcuFuse will minimize collateral damage on the battlefield, Denel said. It will also decrease the logistics support required due to the fact that fewer ammunition rounds would be required. AcuFuse utilises the guidance and control technologies of Denel Dynamics with the inertial sensor technologies of UTC Aerospace Systems, based in Plymouth in the UK. Denel Dynamics and UTC Aerospace Systems have executed a number of successful risk-reduction firings that will be followed by guided firings with a weapon that could be fielded in 2016. There is a worldwide requirement for this type of weapon, which will also enhance the Denel Group’s artillery capability. The same technology can also be applied to other artillery products such as 120 mm mortars and 105 mm artillery, Denel said. |

A Army Chief, Lieutenant General Vusi Masondo, has shed light on South Africa’s contribution to the African Union peacekeeping initiative known as the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises (ACIRC). Speaking during the Exercise Seboka open day at the army Combat Training Centre (CTC) in Northern Cape he said the landward element of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) would contribute a motorised infantry battalion (9 SA Infantry Battalion), a composite armoured car squadron from 1 Special Service Battalion and 1 SA Infantry Battalion, a light artillery battery (1 Light Artillery Regiment), an air-mobile anti-aircraft battery (10 Anti-Aircraft Regiment), a composite signal squadron drawn from 1, 2 and 5 Signal regiments and sub-sub-units from 2 Field Engineer Regiment and 1 Tactical Intelligence Regiment. The SA Air Force’s (SAAF) involvement in the ACIRC force will see a mobile air operations team (MAOT), two Gripen jets (referred to by Masondo as “attack aircraft”), a pair of C-130BZ transports, two Rooivalk combat support helicopters as well as a pair each of Oryx and Agusta A-109 helicopters. “The SA Navy adds to the fold a boat squadron and accompanying marines and support elements while SA Military Health Services will provide the entire force with a medical task group and a level two hospital. “Finally, the SA Military Police will also contribute a platoon bringing the total strength of the force to in excess of 1 500,” Masondo said. |

MikeZA: Worry not African brother,cause your big brother from the South is coming to rescue you. This is the Hogwash you get fed in South-Africa....... Pathetic country. The same bullsh1t your fantasy dreaming journalist throw up and you swallow, hook, line and sinker. The same hogwash your newspapers fed you after getting roundly defeated in the C.A.R. I really, really want to smoke some of the stuff you south-africans smoke. It is obviously very strong. 3 Likes |

patches689:Free bombs against a moving target? Well we know free fall bombs are capable but not effective against warships. Unlike torpedoes which break the keel of the ship,sending massive amount of sea water in,inevitably seeking ship. In case of normal free bombs,they penetrate the ship's structure from above,before donating. It takes time for the ship to sink,in some case it might even limp home or its company formally abandon it. Unless luckily the ship's magazine is struck. To attack ships you'll have to fly amazingly low,to get a better strike. Exposing your self to the ship's defence weapons systems from 76mm naval gun,missiles,CIWS,cannons,RWS to machine guns and if desperate assault rifles by the ship's company. |

There is no chance in hell that your Rooivalk could even be compared to the MI35M Dude, this is ancient weaponry. look at it, its fat and slow, it carries half the weapons the Rooivalk carries, it flies lower than the Rooivalk, it doesn't do those maneuvers the Rooivalk does, electronics, EWF, hack the list is endless.... the only better hind is the Hind South Africans make and its better because we make it. |
