gottfried21: I was expecting that...It doesn't come as a surprise....They finally will get a chance to put their crowd control training into practice8) ... Back to the topic....another use of the wer'wolf MKII was found...demining..Its ironic that the SWAPO led Government had to demine electricity pylons from the Ruacana Hydro power station becoz the SADF had mined them to protect them from SWAPO combatants in the first place ...Anyway the story behind is that a section of pylons were too steep and rocky for specialist equipment and Army deminers were not going to work on pylons 'protected' by the J69 bounding fragmentation mine set with trip wires and the area densely vegetated..Dogs are not sensitive to trip wires plus the rocky terrain would have meant the dogs would be far more probably concentrated in finding their footing ..All a recipe for disaster....So they drove the wolf over the mines

africaken: They all so cost a lot of money. A thermal imager costs more than the rifle and body armour of a basic solder. That's the big imager not a sight that is made small. They all so easily broken. So over all a poor choice for grunts. A 1000 foot rocket flare with parachute would be more useful to the grunts. |

andrewza: Yeap u r right they very expensive, but not that every foot soldier is going to av one ! Even the most countries with modernized army can't afford it to all of there soldiers ! Mostly special force uses such eQuipment of special missions. About two years ago I came across a camerounian soldier with a "french famas" riffle mounted with an advance thermal imaging scope, these r countries that Nigeria his far richer than ! |

Interesting Recce capabilities come to light: Other South African military elements that will take part in Exercise Oxide include the air force (a C-130BZ, a C-47TP, a Super Lynx embarked on the deployed frigate and an Oryx medium transport helicopter), Special Forces including a submarine team, a submarine parachute action group and an airborne team How do these guys fit into the Recce's? What is the dedicated sea unit of the Recce's? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 6:34pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Patchesagain:4 Recce. It is bigger than the Limpopo based 5. You'll rarely hear about them since the SANDF conducts most of its operations in land. Though they do conduct ops in land like the famous Operation Collage in Angola. So they receive less attention than the guys deployed with UN peacekeepers from 5. They jump into the sea with a boat from an aircraft to help subs, UK has a similar SPAG unit. On standby 24/7. They're mostly with the navy during anti-piracy ops. Majority of their ops like raids launched from the strike crafts and Daphne subs during the Bush war remain shrouded in secrecy. |

africaken: They very costly to make. Thermal sights are. not cheap and Nigeria as very limited experience in makeing any thing but small arms and APCs. Vietnam as beaten France, America, Cambodia and China in wars. Don't knock them. They care far more about there military than with SA or Nigeria. 1 Like |

andrewza:African defense industries do not have a serious future. African militaries are gradually forgetting about the possibility of an armed face off between any two nation in the continent, they feel the world outside piety them to much to fight them. To the string pullers in the MOD we live in a very peaceful continent, with the known threats only coming from rag tag militias. |
