It does NOT exist...Rooivalk Mk 2 is a dream with no hope

The A-Darter didn't exist too.

agaugust:


Russia has not replaced over 300 Hinds today 2015.

It takes time to build an Aircraft Augustine, they don't just appear out of thin air!!

andrewza:



Russia stated it wanted to replace them. I posted the quote and link a few mints ago.

Sweden is phasing out SAAF version of Gripen jet

jln115:

Uhm......No!! we have the resources, all we need is the funding, in 18 months we will know for sure!!

Rooivalk Mk2 decision, not even production, just decision making in a room meeting will be done almost year 2018..... or mabe year 2050....it's another project Biro tragedy....no cash

agaugust:

Our Gripens are different from normal Gripen Cs, so no, they are not phasing out SAAF version of the Gripen.

andrewza:


not my fault Russia cant keep to there own time line. Fact is they want to replace them.

The world flies 2,500 Hinds.....nothing changes that.

Russia said it was replacing MiG-29 long ago.....yet they have hundreds of them in frontline service, they just upgraded with vector thrust.

andrewza:


We built the many weapon systems before and are a builder of parts for the A400m.

You built A400m engine parts ?

"....it's another project Biro tragedy"
Jap just like the A-Darter tragedy,Just like the GBADS tragedy,Just like the Badger Tragedy,ect ect.

andrewza:


I said they want to, now show me they changed there minds

Show us the retired Russian Hinds.

Henry120:


So, your pilot has no idea what he is talking about?

Jap no idea!

jln115:

Your Gripens are the very basic C/d model, and you only have 9 pilots for 26 planes after 16 years.

MikeCZAR:
How?

That pilot is flying under the UN not SAAF.

The reporter is telling his story of "forward intervention brigade"

Your pilot, your Rooivalk, your reporter. All SAAF.

OFF TOPIC

Whos staying awake for the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight!!

andrewza:


jake of all trades master of none

why do you need a chopper for bombs, o I forgot the hind fights like a fixed wing aircraft.

and

with a tiny ammo load out and unable to switch ammo in flight

that's why Algeria asked SA to install SA avionics suite, TV, FLIR, etc on there hinds, to down grade them

what? stingers loved them

again Algeria wanted a down grade

Jack of all trades and master of all.

Stingers shot down old version 1980s Hind.

Current Hinds have flare dispensers and laser jammer, as well as laser/radar warning, plus heat signature suppressor.

The Hind's gating gun has tons of ammo. Bigger guns do not need lost of ammo, one short burst from a 30mm x 2 is death guaranteed.

Algeria was upgrading old Hinds purchased long ago, they just chose SA. Did India or Iraq come to you for Hind upgrades?

NAF only has 3 pilots!

jln115:


Turkey chose the A129 due to Nato pressure.

Excuses excuses for Rooivalk failure.

Apart from Turkey, is there no other export country in the world to buy Rooivalk?

agaugust:

No, they ordered 60 E/F Gripens.

Saab will be upgrading their C/D versions with the MS20 software including SAAF Gripens, this will enable them to use the advanced Meteor missile.

Just this week they've shown new upgrades to capabilities of the aircraft radar.

Sweden will be stuck with C/D versions for a long time, so upgrades will be offered equivalent in performance to the E/F versions.

No, country has SAAF Gripens.

Henry120:


So, your Rooivalk pilot has no idea what he is talking about?

Geeee

jln115:

Dude Boeing bid their Super Cobra in 2007, Turkey instead chose the A129 designated the T129, they ordered 60 of them, there are only about 30 Cobras in service with the Turkish army, and 6 Super Cobras which they purchased in the 90s,and are replacing with the a129.

The Rooivalk beat bids including the Apache, SuperCobra, Eurocopter ect ect this is Fact!!

You type like you are draped in tears.

The Rooivalk only got there because the turks were offered full technology transfer, a transfer france ( the original makers) objected to.


Your French helicopter is no good.

agaugust:


Geeee

Maybe there are, we will hear in the next 18 months.

jln115:

To bad citations prove otherwise.

SAAF Pilots/Journalist citations....remember he said Rooivalk gun range is 2 km....he killed the Rooivalk

That's not what Saab says, SAAF Gripens are different.

NAF has three pilots for 12 jets.
