jln115: These fishing vessels are such a nuisance during live firing exercises. Some years back one disturbed SA and Germany navy frigates from using their anti-ship missiles to sink a stripped retired strike craft. Some African navies don't face this cause they never hold live fire exercises. Just wait for the exercise brief you'll see how that guy was in a area he wasn't supposed to be. 2 Likes |

dragon2: So you confirm that you are basing this on opinion. Facts are simple - Germans were present and were preparing to run their gunnery drills it was likely them. And dude, this is just one argument I have. I have an even better one up my sleeves. |

agaugust: None of those entities are engaged in AP duties. They only provide assistance when it falls within the gambit of Operation Corona The effectiveness of SANDF in securing the borders is glaringly obvious: Poachers accessing the Kruger National Park from Mozambique are, according to an Army officer, not as big a problem currently as people living on the western side of the internationally renowned game reserve. Major Sipho Ndlangamandla, acting operations staff officer at the Nelspruit joint operations centre, is reported by Afrikaans daily Beeld as saying fewer poachers are entering Kruger from the eastern national border with Mozambique. He said since the military was redeployed to the Kruger National Park in 2011 fewer rhino poachers were entering the park from Mozambique. According to him poaching syndicates infiltrate Kruger from squatter camps and communities, he used the Afrikaans word “nedersettings” meaning settlements, on the park’s western boundary. “Before the military came back to Kruger in 2011, poaching was almost out of control. We managed to stabilise the eastern boundary with Mozambique,” he told a counter-poaching demonstration arranged for media near Skukuza this week. -Defenceweb |

agaugust: Sub-programme 2 (Maritime Combat Capability) received the largest increase of 79.46 per cent in real terms. This increase is in line with identified strategic priorities and is projected to continue over the MTEF period due to the procurement of harbour tug-boats and payments for the replacement of offshore patrol vessels. http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/140711pcdefencereport.htm |

Henry120: Ask the German navy. Furthermore, how do you know they were trying to hit it? An unmarked vessel moving at high-speed with its lights off near european vessels in an age of international terrorism - they very well could have been warning shots. |

patches689: Not according to the articles from Defenceweb. In 2013, the SAAF only had 6 qualified Gripen pilots, who fly a combined total of 120 hours. So you see, your 6 qualified Gripen pilots aren't even qualified in the true sense. There can be 10,000 qualified hawk pilots. What is however un-mistaken is you had on 6 qualified(un-qualified) pilots in 2013, and a total 18 Air crew for 26 fighter planes. 1 Like |
