How?

That pilot is flying under the UN not SAAF.

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

Okay so the journalist's whole story of Rooivalk is better than Hind becomes garbage and fake.

The Rooivalk pilot belongs to South African air force, or does UN own Rooivalks and produces Rooivalk pilots ?

You got trapped and now deny your own country's air force and pilot, you are a traitor and betrayer dude, you can one day deny your own family just to win an argument....your wife should fear you o ! grin grin

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

SAAF flies Gripen C....or is it Gripen Z that Sweden sold to you?

SAAF calls them Gripen C, that is no news

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

Countries are getting dedicated attack helicopter from the Dhruv, Z-10 to the Apache not Hind ru..bbih.

Operational requirement for the Boarder war was to buy 32 Rooivalks, as FAPLA and Cuba had many tanks. Also it was the need of the army not air force who didn't worry about tanks.

But that need changed in early and late 90s.

SA also had plans for introduce local fighters, submarines and tanks.

How many countries operate the B-2 spirit bomber, B-52 bomber, F-22 Raptor, Visby class corvette and the Gotland class submarines.

Yet the Brazilians, Russians, Nigerians, Azerbajanis, belarusians, Pakistanis are Pilling on the MI-35 numbers.


Your order was reverted because the SANDF..... as always, was broke!!

SA had plans.... similar to your 21 years Project biro plans. nothing new, many countries also have plans.

They don't operate them as the U.S didn't put them up for exports....... olodo!!

The Journalist didn't say anything about the aircraft being better. Many of the things he said are wrong.

It was the interviewed pilot who said they had a better systems and his statements are true.

They're flying under the UN.

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.

cool cool cool cool cool cool

SAAF Gripens are Gripen C....many countries have it. Unless you show proof yours is Gripen W or Gripen Z

Air forces are getting dedicated attack helicopters and that's a fact.

Funding was still high in the 90s, SAAF had 40+ fighter aircraft.

Plans?

You recently seen the Badger right? Now firing shells and missiles not displaced.

The A-Darter production was signed just a few months ago.

We don't rush into backyards and garages! The tender process is still taking place we'll get a better deal than some who had hopes of building one OPV and where robbed! grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Delays are normal.

The Gotland class submarines were offered to some countries?

How many countries operate the Visby class corvette?

How many countries operate the Irom dome?

How many countries operate the Zulu Cobra?

It's actually worse than I said:

"“The sad facts of the Gripen system are as follows: 26 Gripen fighter jets were delivered; 10 or fewer are operational; 12 are in long-term storage; there are six qualified pilots; there are about 150 flying hours available to the entire squadron for 2013.”"

You come again with fresh lies early this morning.

UN deployed both Rooivalk and Mi-35 Hinds into same combat same time same operation, both performed same job was well.

Dude, stop posting fantasies of lies on this forum, are me.ntally retaaarded or just fraudulent and shameless....or both ?

Rooivalk was called in to do jobs the hind couldent

Thats why the Rooivalk did not deploy with the rest of the South African contingent and arrived much later

It is not even an Air-superiority fighter like the F-22, Eurofighter or SU-35. It's tailored more towards ground attack first, then Air-Air combat.

Yeah its a strike fighter

A class of fighter that egypt has a shortage of capable platforms in

The Rooivalk is an obsolete piece of junk, hence there are only 10 in service with the SAAF. The virtual french helicopter has been rejected by at-least 12 countries.

The UN needed more Helicopters in the AOR, because they wanted to speedily end the campaign against M23.

What makes the rooivalk obsolete?
