Are you blind?

However, the money to be spent on the new jets was originally earmarked to buy crucial freight carriers needed for South African troops abroad.




Zuma blew the money......... like a Lagos party!!

Bwahahahaha

Okoko bioko !!!

South African navy cannot shoot straight, South African army cannot shoot on target. No wonder Rhino poachers defeated SANDF on homeland soil.

If Boko Haram war is fought inside Soweto townships, South African army will be cracking the skulls of innocent women like this madam Felicia, while the real enemy will escape after rampaging and ravishing South Africa's civilian population inside their homes.

SANDF can never win a war at home....madam Felicia got her innocent skull drilled by incompetent Southie infantry men who fail to land a simple mortar on target....this army is worse than we ever thought, all they know is photography and monthly salary. SANDF = FAILURE MAGNETS

The South-Africans can kiss good-bye their multiple wet dreams of any Transport planes. Uselessness of a country.



Johannesburg - A storm is brewing over the acquisition of new VIP jets for President Jacob Zuma and his Cabinet at a cost of R2 billion, just after Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene announced revised spending plans to reduce waste.

Netwerk24 reported that the three new VIP jets - a Boeing Business Jet and two new Falcon 900 Business Jets - were being acquired for "international commitments" as the president's international obligations have increased dramatically.

However, the money to be spent on the new jets was originally earmarked to buy crucial freight carriers needed for South African troops abroad.

ALl radars on jets in the world have blind spots.

Your radar dish does not rotate through 360 degrees

Thus you do not have 360 degree coverage.

Do you need another sciece lesson?

patches689:


Augutus.

No one cares about the rear survey - we are talking about the sides.

I repeat same question third time in one day, please stop telling tales, show us Italian Grifo 7 radar all round view technical specifications as proof of your fake claim that Grifo is blind at the sides.....prove it....we are still waiting

Read the latest comic relief from the South-Africans. SANDF troops hitch "taxi flights" and were stranded in bangui were they were roundly defeated, while Zuma acquires new Private jets.


Like a certain hegemon/ colossus in west-Africa, although this country's Airforce has over 30 Transport planes(including 7 C-130's and 6 G-222's) the Government said no, you need additional troop transports. So, the Government went out an purchased more troop transports.

Why can't a certain Government in Southern-Africa act responsibly........ is this too much to ask?

Not enough aircrew

Netwerk24 reported that there were also not enough pilots and crew to fly the new jets.

Maynier said of the 830 posts for aircrew, 348 were vacant.

PORT ELIZABETH, Republic of South Africa (July 25, 2013) -- Approximately 700 U.S. and 3,000 South African Defense Force service members gathered here for the opening ceremony of Exercise Shared Accord 13, July 24.
http://www.army.mil/article/107990/

SANDF deployed 20 000 men to Angola

Fact remains - South African soldiers are better equipped.

Here's a funny comment.

"Hi,

Just heard on the news now..new VIP planes are a definite... egoism at its best.
Dont live far from the Rand Show grounds...one brief fly past by a Hawk(I think) and three Pilatus Silver Falcons in formation for a few seconds and then gone.

Hardly any or very little assistance from the SAAF in controlling the massive blazes in Cape Town,but we will rock up in Nairobi or Lagos or wherever in our luxurious business jets"




Come to Lagos in your business jets, while troops are left stranded. Come and ball in Lasgidi!!

Welcome to Lagos!!!!

Henry120:


What the F*** are you talking about?


In South-Africa, nothing ever is the responsibility to the SANDF....... just a lone Super-puma was sent in to assist with the blaze....... probably the SAAF was broke as usual.

patches689:



Bad reporting

VIP transports were budgeted for in the 2014/2015 budget - it was announced ages ago

MPA's and transports have been budgeted for in the 2016/2017 budget - it was announced ages ago

Henry120:


However, at Bangui, we had troops on the ground in contact with the rebels and needed airlift with reinforcements urgently, into a hot zone. We could not, and cannot, sit around for days whilst an airlift is found, flown all the way to SA, loaded with reinforcements and urgently needed equipment, then flown back to the battle zone.

The goverment is playing with the lives of their troops in foreign hostile zones whilst putting their own luxurious needs first."


Pathetic!!!!


So you're saying impressing the Egyptians and Algerians is more important to your government than the lives of South-African troops.

Gotten!!

patches689:


That money was accounted for last year

We have known about this acquisition for ages.

Airlift and MPA are budgeted for next year

agaugust:


Bwahahahahaha....SANDF deployed 3,000 men for training...see the photo below....NO KIT, no fvcking kit for SANDF troops

Budget on paper and ink only .

#Show us the Money !!!

Aquisitions are announced well ahead. VIP transport aquisition was announced last year.

Just like next years aquisition of MPA and transport was announced this year.

Patchesagain:


What you want a picture of cash?

Budget on Paper = the cash

Patchesagain:


Because they are on parade dipshit.

You wear your combat kit while training.

You said we never deployed 3000 for training.

I proved you wrong.

Give up this pointless debate.

agaugust:


Your source says NOTHING about cash, SAAF has NO money for new military aircraft, Zuma has r.aped your budget and diverted your funds
.

agaugust:


I have Budget on paper to buy Rolls Royce and Ferrari new models, help me take the paper to auto dealer and come back with the cars

Fool, SANDF is now a pauper poverty stricken force
.

agaugust:


Why give up? You need to show us 3,000 SANDF men in war zone with full kit like Nigerian army.

The 3,000 men you deployed for training.....most of them have NO kit....see your photo below, not even bullet proof vest or helmet

#SANDF cannot fully kit 3,000 troops at the same time in same operation zone
.

patches689:


[size=20pt]Where have SANDF troops been stranded?

You want to talk about stranded?

What about the Nigerian troops that were stranded in Sudan so long that they MUTINIED? [/size]

When I dropped the source for you, everyone could as well see it. Your screams of announcement of discovery is FALSE and misleading, typical South African.

And what forum are you talking about, do you mean a forum like nairaland?

The facts are undisputable, the details clear and names and commanders where boldly written. There was also another revelation, South African didn't even led that war as my last post revealed.

lezz:
hmb, tattered looking soldiers. Really looking unfit.

Patchesagain:


Unlike Nigerian soldiers:

- they all have the same uniform
- they are all wearing the same webbing
- none of them have been forced to wear civilian clothing due to the deficiencies in their kit
- thier kit is their personal property issued for free by the SANDF.
- they were transported there by the same vehicals (not a hodge-podge collection of transports)

Patchesagain:


You are posting info from forums

That does not count as a reputable source.

By comparison - I have destroyed your argument with clear and concise information from a USMC military study on the war.

I am sorry that it does not suit your world veiw, but facts are facts. Deal with it
