agaugust:Late seeker activation. A lot has changed since the Falklands war. It can be guided in different ways. Like the A-Darter has an IR seeker but can be guided by the jet's radar. |

Nigeria strong arm SA, embarrass SA in world stage and force SA to bow down to Nigeria's superior politico-diplomatic power. allafrica.com/stories/201411241856.html By J.K. Obatala AFTER a protracted political struggle with South Africa, over its controversial exclusion from the pioneering and much vaunted Square Kilometre Array (SKA), Nigeria has finally emerged victorious. Professor S. O. Mohammed, director general of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), announced Wednesday, during the opening ceremony of the Astronomical Society of Nigeria, that Nigeria's participation in the world's biggest ever radio astronomy project was now assured. 3 Likes |

agaugust:Do you know where on the frigate the 35mm dual purpose system is mounted? And yes it can rotated like any other CIWS. It would seem you're the one doesn't know a thing. |

agaugust: Pic 1: Vertical feild of fire Pic 2: Horizontal feild of fire Pic 3: Formation employed by Valour Class to provide over-lapping feilds of fire and 100% cover from missile/bomb attack Now, if you will look past these hasty and rather crude mock-ups ( a simple proof of concept I drew up in 5 min) You will see that a formation of 3 Valour Class can provide 100% supporting fire to each other completeing a perfect anti-air umbrella Use of data-links allows the Valour Class to co-ordinate fire-patterns. This means that if one bomb is dropped, it will be facing 3300 rounds per minute of AHEAD ammunition.

agaugust:Both ammo? What is ordinary and CRAM ammo? Maybe that's because ships are attacked from the sides. People this guy has serious mental issues soon he'll be telling us since naval guns can't fire 180 degrees behind so they're "technically defective in operational positioning." Guess what! Other CIWS(s) like the Goalkeeper, Phalanx etc have a similar operating envelope. 2 Likes |

Patchesagain: South-Africa is an insignificant member of the BRIC. We've been down this lane multiple times before. South-Africa only got an invite because the BRIC nations wanted a more inclusive club, an African representation and South-Africa was at the time the largest economy in Africa. |

Patchesagain:which economy do you dominate? You are out of bric, imposter. -We are Africa's economic power house - Africa's entertainment headquarters -Africa's spiritual headquarters - Africa's highest assembly of millionaires and billionaires. - we put Africa on the global maps with a .5 trillion dollar economy. - we have brought peace and stability in Africa than any other African country. South Africa on the other hand can do all the lobbying but she can never present Africa or have the mandate to lead Africa. Your 3rd position on the continent and political naivety plus cultural Zulu docility all see to that. |

Patchesagain: I feel a great deal of pity for you South-Africans, stuck with an obsolete Helicopter isn't really a fun place to be in 2015. - The Half-French AH was cut because the Apartheid government could not afford them. Hence the order for 32 dropped to a paltry 12. - The U.K, Australia, Turkey, Malaysia all rejected the Helicopter. I've posted sources which show these countries rejected the AH. - In an open bid, any company is free to submit proposal. There isn't a law against that. However, the Turks wanted a Helicopter they could build at home, neither Boeing or EADS was going to provide that. So realistically only your Half-french AH and the A-129 were realistically in a competition. The A-129 roundly trounced the half-french AH, as expected. - Turkish rejection of your Half-french AH despite Denel putting all they hard into the completion is enough evidence of the A-129's superiority over the obsolete Half-French Rooivalk. South-Africa did not build any Helicopter, so what should i be jealous of? You Assemble a French Helicopter....... Congratulations, Nigeria also assembles and make components for Trainers and the A109. South-Africa got all dynamic systems, engines, components , sub-components from the Super-Puma, aloutte III The Half-french is an Obsolete Helicopter running on 30 years old computers. The Rooivalk has 30 years old obsolete avionics. It’s been given a slight upgrade, incorporating “modifications to the weapons systems, avionics and airborne systems”. "The chief of the South African Air Force General Carlo Gagiano said, “What is new is the Mokopa missile, which was test-fired at the Overberg range" The only thing new is the mokopa missile which the SAAF still hasn't ordered! A 1970's mercedes can move from point A-B same as a 2015 mercedes, however this doesn't equate to them been in the same class. reportedly hailed by all who have flown it. It is also ideal for operations in Africa. But its avionics system, a magnificent achievement for local industry when it was developed and integrated in the late 1980s, is today as obsolete as a dinosaur’s brain. This is a key reason in Denel’s failure to export the aircraft. No one will buy a warplane whose avionics system is based on 30-year-old computers. . 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Henry120: 1. Rooivalk is better than anything you have 2. Rooivalk is domestically designed and built - something you are incapable of doing Come back and talk when you have something that competes with it, and when you have built something equally as capable. |

Patchesagain: I don't need to pull down your obsolete Half-French AH, after all, the Helicopter has been doing a pretty good job of it, on it's own, thus far. The Janes and Engineeringnews sources are all clear, they were all unanimous in their verdicts, the Rooivalk is an obsolete Helicopter which has no place in today's battlefield. It is a walking dinosaur. A Helicopter running on 30 years old computers cannot be considered as modern, by any stretch of the word......... it is archaic and ancient hence it has been roundly rejected. And you in turn have dedicated a whole week in defending a failed project..... congratulations are in order. The MI-35M Hind E is simply described as having modern state of the art avionics and systems. It's proven performance and sales is all the guarantees I need. -We have the Hind E, we are also in the process of acquiring the T-129. - your second question is better directed at South-Africa, first build a Helicopter. Renaming a French Helicopter doesn't suddenly make it South-African. As you have accused, my basis for "attacking" the Half-french Rooivalk are based on it poor capabilities as an attack helicopter. Turkey, UK, Australia, Malaysia all seem to agree with me........ Apparently same as the SAAF who only have 10 in active service. |

Patchesagain: This isn't the case!! One could almost have imagined President Jacob Zuma saying to the other African countries (Nigeria especially), “We’re the only country on the continent to build our own bad-ass ships. We’re the only country on the continent that can deploy soldiers and support aircraft anywhere on the continent. So who is your daddy?” http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2011-04-04-rooivalk-the-next-generation-mark-1/#.VWL_NjPRY8o This is a South-African newspaper, so un-professional, so obsessed with Nigeria. |

Patchesagain: South-Africa is the world's most un-equal country. With the 7% white minority population running 85% of the economy, and the world's worst inequality index,Not even Somalia or Afghanistan comes close. The majority of your country men live no better lives than people in Burundi. South-Africa was only picked because you were the largest economy at the time. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Patchesagain: 1. The Half-French Rooivalk is an obsolete Helicopter flying on 30 years old computers. The Helicopter also holds the proud record of been the only Helicopter rejected by all countries it has been offered to. 2. You cannot build or design a Helicopter. You could not in the apartheid era, you cannot today. |

Henry120: - Janes does not say the Rooivalk is obsolete - Modernity of the Hind E is irrelevant when it does not posses the capabilities of the Rooivalk - The Rooivalk is a South African designed and built helicopter - Provide citations for UK, Australia and Malaysia turning down the Rooivalk. Henry, again i say: 1. Aquire a helicopter with the same or better capabilities as the Rooivalk 2. Build and deisgn a domestic weapons system with the same or better capabilities And then we will discuss the Rooivalk. A man with a donkey cannot insult another mans horse. |
