Denel Marlin 100km range surface to air missile

Unguided tests to start 2016. To equip South African Navy and Army. All weather, radar guided missile.

Denel Dynamics is showing a model of its Raptor III precision stand-off weapon for the first time, in the company’s display outside Hangar 4. The weapon is tailored to a strategic mission against high-value targets, which are often hardened and well-defended.

Like its predecessor, the Raptor II, the new weapon has pop-out wings to extend range. However, the Raptor III is aerodynamically cleaner with its systems being housed within the weapon body.Other systems, such as infrared seeker, have also been improved. The programme is currently in the development stage.Raptor III is a long-range (less than 300km) weapon that can be programmed to fly a variety of flightpaths.

It is guided by jam-resistant GNSS (global navigation satellite system) and inertial navigation, with optional low-light TV or imaging infrared terminal-phase seekers.Automatic target recognition algorithms allow the weapon to identify its target and guide itself to impact with a circular error probability of less than 3m. Blast/frag and penetration warhead options are available.

Attack profiles are best planned on the ground for optimal mission planning, but the Raptor III has a datalink for in-flight target reprogramming. The weapon can be fully integrated with an aircraft’s fire control system, or linked to the carrier’s system by wireless transmission.

I have absolutely thrased lezz when I had the time to spare with his frivolities, citation after citation debunked his asinine statements

With regards to your "economy"

Its big but ineffective - poorly taxed, unstable and based on highly volatile oil

We remain the top destination for foreign investment (infact, we are 16th in the world)

Furthermore, with regards to your over-reliance on oil is it not true that your government just had to devalue the Naira and cut budgets? Did you not just raise interest rates to a record 13%? Has your Excess Crude Account not depleted to $3-billion from $21-billion in 2008?

Of over 53 African countries in Africa, why is it only southafrica hanging on desperately to this thread?

We have had other African countries come, say their bit and left. But southafrica remain on nairalalnd, trying to force us to accept they are better. They want to have the last word, they want to show us outdated and twisted sources to make us believe they are better.

So what makes southafrica this tactless, desperate, lacking in dignity and pride?


It is because Nigeria is their superior indeed and in imagination. It's because their low self esteem bells ring off anywhere Nigeria is mentioned. This is peculiar to black southafricans who makes up more than 75% of the population.

Southafrica was all fine and beautiful when Anglo-dutch ruled and structured the country for over 300 years as an extention of Europe;home away from home, then the forebears of patchesagain were only fit to cut gardens or mend shoes. The highest aspiration then was to become the head butler.

Then came 1994 and the caves and jungles were thrown open and patchesagain and co burst forth into civilisation and inherited everything their masters built. South Africa was given the name rainbow nation.

20 years later, there's nothing to show for it. Every infrastructure in southafrica is under going decay under black south African government. School and education system is dead, hospitals are rotting away, the economy is under strangulation; it barely grows.

Up above is a country where the colonial masters didn't even built substantial road. Any road or train track they built were to ferry away our resources. Mean while the first dutch settlers that arrived southafrica built ship yards and ships to European specification because it was meant to be their home.

In Nigeria, no shipyards were built, they brought in ship to carry our resources and taxed our men and women highly. After 1960 we asked them to leave and embarked on self rule. We were about 40 million Nigerians then but we marched on.


We went through the sun, we came out unweathered, we walked through the desert and were unscortched. We endoured tribal wars, insecurity and terrorism but we came out undone.

And after just 55years we have put Africa on the global map by being the only African country to have a $.5 trillion economy, by far the biggest on the continent.

We have the highest concentration of millionaires and billionaires on the continent.

We have Africa's biggest movie industry.

Africa's biggest entertainment industry
Our artists have taken over all of Africa and are house hold names in many African countries.

We are still the first African country to launch her own sattalite into the orbit(in collab with Chi

We still are the first country in the world to pioneer the fully digitalised personal/ security ID.

We have %75 percent of the economy and services of Africa.

We have Africa's richest woman
Africa's richest blogger. Just at 55 years.


In contrast southafrica has been developing for 300 years by Europeans for Europeans.
Today they are decaying, highest in HIV world wide.

Highest in murder world wide
Highest in rape world wide.
40% unemployment. And infant rápę, yeah they really only started seeing the light by 1994.
Economy is in taters. Our boys have taken over their streets and girls.

We as a nation have taken over Africa.

Nigerians, this is why they are here and won't go away. This is their battle. They really have to win it.

But today, you haven't emerged yet. You are still a frontier market.

Serious weapon this one.

Attack profiles include:
Attack direction.
Attack angle.
And more.

With the ATR(automatic target recognition) it is able to compare the ground loaded target data to what it "sees" and lock on to that target, it can also send the pilot images prior hitting the target.

Making jamming a bit difficult. It can surpass an air defence umbrella to hit defended targets.

Also cheaper than cruise missiles.

But air to air will be the priority as the A-Darter is heading to production soon, then SAAF will start looking for a BVR missile to arm the Gripens. The Meteor missile is likely to be bought a close gap similar to the IRIS-T.

I have allready debunked all of your claims - with fact

I have shown, with citations, that south africa us superior by every criterion a nation is judged on.

South africans are better educated, live longer, happier, enjoy more freedom, most have access to electricty and modern sanitation, better acess to medical care, we have better rule of law, a stronger democracy, a better economy, more revenue, we are decades ahead in terms of infastructure, we are african leaders in finance, we are members of BRICS - the list goes on and on.

Most importantly - it is 55X better to live in South Africa than Nigeria

Furthermore, Nigeria is the 16th most failed state in the world.

You can continue to wildly thrash out long posts in a jealous rage, you can continue to make wild baseless allegations and build ad hominem after ad hominem, you can apply all the logical fallacies you want, it matters not - it is water off a ducks back

This debate has been over for a long time, you are simply too obtuse to realize it

South Africa Gets Screwed

strategypage.com/htmw/htspace/articles/20150207.aspx

The author of that article could have done better. The information which he has used is outdated and is grossly inaccurate. South Africa changed the terms of the former contract wherein Russia was to be expected to have a complete control of the satellite. Hence, SA negotiated for the complete transfer of the control of the satellite by solely SA and those conditions were agreed upon. SA now has a monopoly control of the satellite.

The author shows immaturity because he/she roughly went after uninformed accusations that were made by opposition parties and deliberately avoided the feed from the manufactures about the quality (SAR) of the satellite. The manufacturer (NPO Mash) fooled the public as agreed upon the contract of confidentiality by marketing the product as civilian satellite while in actual fact it was a high quality satellite to the same class with that of Russian military.

However, this is not about competition, Nigeria does not have a military satellite with SAR (synthetic aperture radar). So, tell me how does this become competition for something which you do not have?

In conclusion, SA is happy with the quality of the satellite and intend to order two more in future. Even, the critics are now mum.

firstly, all information contained in that article was publish on February 7, 2015: and its in no way outdated. 2. all the author said were accurate and factual.. now if you dont have any credible source to counter it, your opinion is baseless here. shove it where the sun don't shine.

It doesn't matter, but the information is grossly inaccurate. Firstly, the satellite is controlled in SA and the satellite is of good quality, ie, SAR. Such satellites are only now currently used by superpowers and Nigeria has zero of such satellites. The satellite can show underneath the ground and water, day and night irrespective of weather. SA intend to order two more in future.

I quote " By January 2015, sources hinted that despite some initial difficulties, Kondor-E successfully delivered first images in a shorter
period of time after the launch than its predecessor , thanks to good backup capabilities onboard the satellite. Moreover, the
initial glitches were quickly traced to a programming error and were successfully resolved. In fact, Kondor-E had reportedly been
performing so successfully that the South African government considered ordering two more of these satellites even over the
objections of the United States!"

You listen too much from a faction of disgruntled white South Africans who still morn the collapse of apartheid system. The former government did not build infrastructure to black townships, but only to themselves. Majority of our people did not have water taps, sewage system, electricity, tarred roads, shopping malls in their townships. The ANC government built all that and even they have build more infrastructure to those areas which were only preferred by whites. They introduced fast underground train, build world class hospitals, upgraded Airports and ports to world standards, they have build world class stadiums, electrified many homes, connected our homes with clean running water and have invested more than $400 billion to build our infrastructure. Your claims are just all lies.
