I said the airframe design is obsolete and I stand by it, a 20 year old design is obsolete today. Tell me a Toyota Camry 1995 model is a modern design.

I posted photos of both Rooivalk and modern version of Hind for you to compare, I said look at the tyres/landing gear, but as a life-time member of the 3-blind-mice society of South Africa, you failed to see that the obsolete Rooivalks tyres hang outside permanently like an old horses' dîck, while the modern Hinds tyres are invisible as a retractable landing gear.

You are Grand Patron of the 3-blind-mice society with life-long permanent membership

SAAF has no A-Darter in service today.

By the time you buy any single A-Darter, NAF JF-17 will have BVR missiles with 100 km range so your unlucky Gripen jet will not even be able to launch any of it's unlucky 22 km range A-Darter missile before it gets shot down by NAF JF-17 Devastating Thunder jets

The rooivalk airframe is broadly the same has all 1980s western designs. This includes the apachy. They far more modern than the 1960s design of the hind.

Look at the Hal Light attack helicopter, Apache, Tiger and A129 attack helicopters landing gears.

It absorbs shock during unintended or rough landings.

You think designing and fielding an attack helicopter takes 3 days, Look at similar projects with rich countries like the Tiger attack helicopter.

Air frame obsolete? The Hind E uses the same air frame from the 70s.

NAF Mi-35M Hind E 2014 model, the latest in Russian air force. Get it ?

Modern Hind wheels are now retractable, fool.

Your Rooivalk fixed wheels will break of by force in a crash land.

A-129 is a 1980 design, so you can compare your obsolete Rooivalk....birds of same feather flock together.


Apache landing gear is underbelly NOT glued to wing area airframe....open your eyes...don't be like the 3-blind-mice

Rooivalk helicopter airframe is obsolete design, alone has scared every potential customer....NOBODY IS GONNA FVCKING BUY YA FVCKING OLD ROOIVALK TURKEY

MikeCZAR:
Massive IR signature trail, one of causes being its exhaust system. Unlike the Rooivalk which washes its exhaust gases.

Massive logistics.

Um...Nigeria has no JF-17 jet. You are a cocaine fuelled crack addict if you believe that Nigeria will purchase jets, train pilots on all systems and weapons, and be have even 5% of a fully trained squadron by this time next year. As opposed to A Darter which is being produced this year, ready for the SAAF.

A Darter is a self defence missile to defend against any useless crap you throw at us.

19 September 2014



WHO DO YOU THINK WILL GET A WORLD CLASS BVRAAM 1ST? We showed the world we develop world class high tech products with A Darter, you think this will be any different?

Denel Dynamics expects to conduct the first flight test of its Marlin 100km radar-guided anti-air missile early next year. The first launch will be conducted from the ground at Overberg Test Range, and will be a ballistic test to check out the missile’s basic flight systems.Successful ballistic tests should lead to programmed tests, in which the missile’s midcourse guidance and flight control systems are used to control the missile’s flightpath.

The final stage of trials will be closed-loop fully guided tests, with the missile’s seeker providing control inputs to the guidance section. In the meantime, Denel Dynamics will conduct ground testing and captive air testing of the latest version of seeker.

What is now known as Marlin has been a Denel Dynamics project to develop an active radar missile for around 10 years. The missile has evolved into one that is capable of satisfying land, sea and air applications, and its design has been carefully crafted to meet the requirements of surface and air launch. It employs a degree of modularity that allows it to incorporate elements from the successful A-Darter and Umkhonto programmes, such as the motor technology and fuze. The missile relies on the same motor for all its applications, negating the need to develop.

During the development of the weapon, the seeker has undergone an evolution to take account of technological advances. For instance, the original functions of five digital signal processing cards have been compressed to fit on one card, in turn freeing significant capacity for additional processing.This has allowed the seeker to be made capable of simultaneous multi-target tracking. Other benefits are the ability of four channels to be processed in parallel, rather than sequentially. An operational result is the increase in electronic counter-countermeasures performance, the seeker being able to discriminate between chaff, jamming and the real target.

Marlin is being developed by Denel Dynamics as a technology demonstration programme to a Department of Defence/Armscor contract. It was unveiled at the LAAD show in Rio de Janeiro last year, and Brazil is being courted as a likely partner.

Do you know what Nigeria too is planning? AWACS aircraft! Just waiting to confirm details from inside sources.

Today, SAAF has NO single A-Darter and MARLIN missile does NOT even exist.

Good. Now take that delusion out of your head of thinking any JF-17 will ever fire a BVRAAM at us before we a fully equiped with world class short and long range missiles.

Meaning, you have given up all attempts to have your moemish tag reversed. You have accepted the id1ocy of your posts as from yesterday at least; and that the Nigerian military is inferior and you cannot argue otherwise. And that emotions and racism will not change this.

Well done.

Nigeria and Russia now own new Hind E versions with reduced IR signature from the exhaust. Hind E has changed the Hind into a far better helicopter than Rooivalk will ever be.

nairaland's cry baby, Die-vluit is still sulking.

Really you aren't worth my literary engagement. But I can use your desperation at getting even with me as amusement for my leisure.

My post are idiotic, yet they hurt you so bad, you react to each and everyone of them.....hehehe

you call me a racist for speaking the truth, yet your very life, your sub-zero existence is proof that you are living on free food stamps handed out to you by ANC officially stolen from the anglo-Dutch......HOHOHOHO


You claim your military is superior yet it was a horror movie for south Africa when the HIV -ridden SANDF went to CAR.

As of now, your parliament is considering selling off your weapons you acquired in pretence of what you are not. You don't have qualified pilots, your jets are rotting in their hangers. Your president is proposing a military defence pact with Nigeria.....and you have not been to war, you have 0 experience or capability fighting terrorist insurgents of the 21st century. YOU AREN'T QUALIFIED DEBATING MILITARY MATTERS WITH NIGERIANS.
