mzilakazi: South Africa does not hide weapons , you photograph and advertise all you have, even the Mokopa missile you don't have is published for public information. Only Nigeria hides weapons, NAF has drones with PGMs and yet was saying that they don't have PGM, now after the truth has leaked out, they admit they have PGM. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/military-deploys-drones-battle-boko-haram/ . |

Henry120: then why was my name mentioned. all so I am now a officer not a chef? Amazing since I am neither. The Seeker 2 has spent more years being flown by denel for the SA government than was flown by SAAF. Does the ukrian defence company make enough to keep all there units fully stocked. Ukrian has thousands of stored IFV and Tanks that are still rather modern yet are not used. They sit in massive storge yards rusting away. http://ukrainetrek.com/blog/army/kharkov-tank-repair-plant/ So your point is what. A few pages ago you where bragging about some none excited mutually defence pac with ukriane, now they a broke ass poor nastio? You know you buying there old shit. SA broke? we spend more money than Nigeria on every thing, we have a smaller population to, so who is broke? |

andrewza: Sea trial video proved it test fired missiles, currently not armed with missiles but proved it can be armed if need for missiles arises. We don't need missiles to arrest pirates. NN has shifted plans to smaller missile armed boats coming from China as stop gap measures . 1 Like |

andrewza: Let me repeat, you weren't missed. You name was mentioned only in references. Yes Nigeria has a pact with them. We seen that pact come into in the supply of BTR4E, MI-35, T-72AV and T-84 tank deliveries, despite Ukraine also been involved in ATO. No, SANDF doesn't and have never spent more than Nigeria, we have consistently said this over the years. |

SANDF Fairy tale defence review in a "nutshell". There does not appear to be any real urgency regarding the Defence Review and its need to progress through the Parliamentary process enabling at least a start to be made on reversing the downward spiral of the South African military. The latest example of tardiness can be found in the programme of the Joint Standing Committee on Defence for the first part of the 2015 Parliamentary work year. The Parliamentary Programme Framework provides for a committee period between January 27 and February 11 for Parliamentary committees, such as defence, to meet and conduct oversight visits. In essence it boils down to the Framework making time available for the various Parliamentary committees to work. “It means 10 days, spanning 80 hours, of meetings could have been scheduled for the Joint Standing Committee on Defence to consider aspects of the Defence Review, by agreement the committee’s top priority. Sadly, not a single meeting has been scheduled for the committee period,” said David Maynier, opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) party shadow defence and military veterans minister. READ MORE The Defence Review was completed at the request of then Defence Minister, Lindiwe Sisulu, by Roelf Meyer and his team for tabling in Parliament late in 2012. A change of Minister ensured this did not happen and when current Minister, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, eventually tabled the document in Parliament last July, its title was changed to reflect it as the 2014 Defence Review and not the 2012 Defence Review. Among others, the Review stated the SANDF was “in a critical state of decline, characterised by force imbalance between capabilities; block obsolescence and unaffordability of many of its main operating systems; a disproportionate tooth-to-tail ratio; the inability to meet current standing defence commitments and the lack of critical mobility”. Taking another excerpt from the Review (“even with an immediate intervention it could take at least five years to arrest the decline and another five to develop a limited and sustainable defence capability”) to illustrate the need to get on with the job as far as turning the SANDF around Maynier points out “there is an element of urgency”. “Every day wasted talking about the Defence Review, rather the implementing it, accelerates the decline of the SANDF.” He is not happy about the manner in which the Joint Standing Committee intends to deal with the Review. “Its current rubberstamp programmes envisage dealing with the 344 page document, based on 435 stakeholder meetings and 76 public submissions at a cost of nearly R11 million to the taxpayer in three meetings. These meetings are set to last 10.5 hours and will take place between February 20 and March 5.” He has proposed an alternative of 18 meetings including briefings on military preparedness, downsizing and rightsizing, acquisition priorities and affordability of Review proposals. “In the end it is a disgrace that the SANDF is being held hostage by lazy and disinterested MPs serving on the Joint Standing Committee on Defence,” Maynier said this week. 2 Likes |

Henry120: http://m.news24.com/news24/SouthAfrica/Politics/Defence-committee-denies-being-lazy-20150128 Cape Town - Parliament's joint standing committee on defence on Wednesday denied it was "lazy" in dealing with the Defence Review. Committee co-chair Malusi Motimele said it was mischievous for committee member and DA MPDavid Maynier to criticise their work.Maynier accused the committee on Wednesday of only scheduling one Defence Review meeting in the last six months and holding the review "hostage". He criticised it for not scheduling any meetings in the so-called "committee period" up to 11 February.Maynier felt the Defence Review had serious implications for the future of the defence force and should thus be dealt with urgently."The committee is aware of the urgency required for the revitalisation of the country's defence forces," Motimele said in a statement.Since the review was tabled in Parliament in July, the committee had met to consider the policy three times, he added."This is despite the fact that the committee was only established in October 2014. "He said the committee held a three-day workshop to deal with the review, one he alleged Maynier did not attend.The committee said it was awaiting public comment on the review and would deal with submissions until next Saturday.Motimele said the committee was scheduled to meet on 20 February for public hearings."The committee is processing the Defence Review within the necessary framework and will do so with the necessary urgency." The Defence Review was compiled by a committee of experts who scrutinised the SA National Defence Force.It found a number of shortcomings that had led to a steady decline in operations. 2 Likes |

mzilakazi: South Africa is a garbage factory where all kinds of thrash gets manufactured. Your AMSCOR made robot cannon turned SANDF anti-aircraft gun on your own soldiers at home and killed them in training, nobody could control the gun until all its 35mm shells were fired on SANDF soldiers that were operating the gun, thus killing and maiming your own army with your own product at home. See where Chinese are better than you? Your own guns turn against SANDF and spray them with automatic fire , nation of garbage!!! . 2 Likes |

andrewza: 1 million is figurative, you should know that. Means we can build as many Igirigi as we can get engines to buy, Ford will give us 50,000 engines if we pay. DICON can produce 100,000 mortars if we pay. All am saying us equipment you don't have in arsenal is never counted as military might, world military power ranking sites don't count DENEL products unless SANDF has them in service after purchase. DENEL won't give you free weapons, they ran into heavy debt and almost collapsed around 2012 untill government used cash to bail them out. No free DENEL drones for you, SANDF does NOT have any Seeker drone in service and NO Mokopa missile that the drone is designed to carry. You have neither the drone nor it's missile, Nigerian air force has combat drones armed with missiles so we are superior to you in military technology, your SANDF is a rag tag photographers club ![]() ![]() . |

agaugust: Pay with what money. Your APCs are based on commercial chasies you don't make and use engines you do not make. Made from metal you do not refine. Many of the systems I am talking about do not need to be made. They built. In 1991 Saatchi gave denel all there seeker drones and denel has flown them ever since. The cheetahs are all so with denel. There are even talks about bringing back some of our over 1000 Eland armourd cars back to active serves. We have over 2000 buffel APCs and countless other gear. These weapons are not listed in our orbit of battle but they still there. |
