South Africa at war in the DRC – The Inside Story

A blackout on operations by South African soldiers fighting rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo has left historic battles shrouded in mystery.

Now writer Stephan Hofstatter and photographer James Oatway, who reported on two of the battles from the Congo, have been granted exclusive access to the men who fought in democratic South Africa’s most successful military operation. This is their story.

A routine drill that turned into war
It was replaced by 5 SA Infantry Battalion, based in Ladysmith. The relieving force is supporting Congolese troops in driving the remaining Mai Mai rebels into a cordon in the mountains north of Masisi and preparing for a final ground and air assault.

Source of above story is South African, your usual war propaganda lies.

Post us insider source from independent United Nations MONUSCO and FIB that own and led the whoe war in Congo DRC against M23.

The whole world defeated M23 rebel

You are a glory stealing Jankoriko

Ingwe missile will not win you a war.

The most powerful weapons in South African military are imported, Gripen jet, Hawk jet, Valour Frigate, Type 209 Submarine, and Olifant tank, IRIS-T missile, Starstreak missile, Milan missile, Paveway Guided bombs....and the list goes on.....
.

Ingwe will without any doubt win against Nigerian ragtag army.

However, it is a well known fact that over 80% of inventory of out hardware are locally made.

Ingwe gets defeated by smoke grenades blocking off it's laser guidance system and thus disable the Ingwe missile.

Nigeria too anti-tank missiles called Swingfire, launched by our Stormer APCs

The swingfire is wire guided and swings around to confuse the enemy, it cannot be blocked by smoke

Need to be sure it's true, but I know Chad now has oil and it's close to Nigerian side.

I think Nigeria will be arming up to subdue (without war I believe) Chad, Cameroon, and Niger Republique in the next 5 years.

Boko Haram will be decimated, it's only a matter of time.

Nigeria is already angry, and any President that does not show it can wipe out Boko Haram will lose presidential elections for sure, year 2011 elections proved Nigerians no longer vote for a party at presidential level, they vote for the individual contestant based on their perception of his ability to perform well in office

LOL, Nigeria has the Stormer APC, they are used as launchers for Swingfire when the army does not want to launch Swingfire on tripod by hand.

Nigeria's Swingfire was produced up till the 1990s, SANDF Ingwe entered service in 1987.

A bomb made in 1960 will k.ill if it explodes on you.

Ingwe is laser guided and smoke grenade from Nigerian Cobra or other vehicles will block and blind the Ingwe guidance system to make it more useless than a bushman hunter's bow and arrow.

SANDF cannot fire one single Ingwe on Nigerian army, our infantry anti-tank guns have 7km range against Ingwe's 5km range.

Keep wasting your smoke blinded useless Ingwe missiles.

The official launch platform for Swingfire is those Stormer vehicles. It is only a dull South African brain that cannot mount an ATGM on a vehicle, even ISIS can do it.

Nigeria has Swingfire and the Stormer vehicle, completes the required combination.

Nigeria has not shown any of it's Swingfires in public, whatever way they mount it, they have it.

Swingfire does not need to be driven around to k.ill, and Egypt the strongest military in Africa still uses Swingfire till today 2014.

Same way South African navy Valour frigates still uses old Exocet MM40 block that has long ago being replaced by block 3.

If our Swingfires are ineffective, then your old generation Exocets are also ineffective . Equation balanced

Olodo, the Swingfire is named swing because it has special uncommon ability to swing around in circles and curves unlike your dumbo Ingwe that follows only a straight line laser light, or your own light turns around corners ? Fool, law of physics South African education cannot teach you...light travels in a straight line always....Olodo

The Swingfire will smoke out all your Ingwes and force you to waste the 3 missiles and lose them to smoke, then he will launch his own Swingfire because Ingwe on Ratel can only be reloaded when the Ratel occupants come outside to carry the missiles for reload, then they die by Swingfire along with their unlucky Ratels.
