Henry120:Failure has nothing to do with the capabilities of the weapons platform, but the marketing and offer side of things. Just look at the French right now in India regarding the Rafael deal. Foreign components reduce the cost of development. You design something and to cut costs you contract foreign countries to supply certain systems. But if those suppliers feel you're breaking the current contract they have with you, they'll threaten pulling out of the contract. |

saengine: Fact is that we see Nigeria buying new weapons and we see South Africa grounding the current weapons it has for lack of maintenance money....sign of no cash....proof of financial crisis. SANDF is broker than broke . |

iterator24: The French company that designed the rooivalk for us, please sir. Out with it. The request from Patchy was simple enough. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 5:01pm On Mar 03, 2015 |
agaugust: Which weapons are grounded? So you missed the part where South Africa bought 236 brand new world class IFVs? OR 6 new warships? or heavy weight torpedoes? or air-to-air missiles? or 40 000 more soldiers (the size of the army is going to double)? lol, whatever |

Patchesagain: Nope, South African literacy rate is about 40 % and much lower than Nigeria. Your white apartheid masters denied you education as "lesser human beings". Literacy rate 93% includes illiterate local herbalists and pig farm laborers who speak one of the 10 local languages by birth as mother tongue, they have never been to school, yet they are deceitfully counted as literate for speaking a language like Zulu, etc because you have 10 such local language of illiterates legally recognized by ANC government along with English language the 11th official language. Only the South Africans who speak English and graduated high school are literate, the rest are illiterate local language speakers and they form about 60 % of South African population. Your real literary level is about 40 % in Soweto nation, thanks to 100 years of white-man's oppression of your fathers . 1 Like |

Patchesagain: South Africa NEVER bought 236 Badger IFVs, you have ONLY about 6 for experimental tests. You bought no new warships, missiles, torpedoes blah blah blah.....name the weapons and country of sale, and year of delivery, with photos of those 6 new ships in your navy. You think we Nigerians are fools here that you can bamboozle with your tales by moonlight? . 1 Like |

andrewza: 11 official languages recognized by South African government, any body speaking any one of those 10 local languages is counted as being literate. You need citation for that? Then ask me for citation to prove the capital of South Africa is Pretoria . 1 Like |

Patchesagain: The Rooivalkâs landing gear is unmodified. The main landing gear was developed and manufactured in France to South African specifications, while the tail landing gear was designed, developed and manufactured in South Africa by Denel. The rotor blades, part of the main gearbox and part of the tail gearbox (including two bevel gears) are of French design but manufactured in South Africa under licence by Denel Aviation. The rotor head, however, is made in France. The driveshaft for the tail rotor was designed and manufactured in South Africa. "There can be no doubt that the image of the Rooivalk has suffered as a result of misleading and exaggerated official propaganda in the early years of the programme." Propaganda gulped by Patches689. 2 Likes |

Patchesagain: The development of the Rooivalk proved to be technically very challenging, and budget cuts only compounded the problems. The original plan to build 36 production aircraft (plus the four prototypes) was abandoned and, in the end, only 12 were built. Your initial order for 36 Rooivalk attack Helicopters were cut because you were BROKE(like we don't continue to see this with the SANDF almost on a daily basis), and not because of some cooked up doctrine. 2 Likes |

andrewza I told you dont derail the picture thread or henry will cry. Anyway the answer to your question is that South Africans are mentally limited, they don't have the brain power to worry about anything other than food, shelter and sex, so they allow themselves to be dominated by dirty europeans like you. |
