africaken: Excuse my language, one wonders why the Sudanese are always so keen on kissing the As$ of Saudi-Arabia, when they (Sudan) has a major Darfur problem to attend to. |

MikeCZAR:how many rooivalk do you have,can they cater for south african army needs in battle ? |

africaken: Properly armed light scout helicopters are irreplaceable in the military. They provide lots and lots of advantages. The French deployed their Gazelle widely and in support of SF operations in mali, they are an integral path of US army aviation, the KDF deploy them, we in Nigeria also deployed an estimated 12 units of LUH in support of Boko-Haram operations. The Nigerian army MSF have a dedicated air support wing made up of Gazelle LUH. There are unconfirmed reports that the Paramount group are currently upgrading Five(5) Nigerian army aviation LUH. In my opinion, Armies in Africa should operate light scout helicopters, while the Airforce operates heavy attack helicopters. |

Henry240:while @MikeCZAR is trying to tell us its economically impossible to field both,while nigeria deployed both Gazelle LUH and Mil Hind's |

frumentius: Anyway not to read any meaning into a demonstration, however if the NAF is genuinely interested, and political leaders set aside their petty differences, the Rooivalk MK2 could be a decent success for the NAF and Africa. 2 Likes |

africaken: That's unfortunate. Both Hind and Gazelle are a great force multiplier. We deployed both assets devastatinly in combat. It was so good additional units of both Hind E and up-graded Gazelles would enter service this year. It is not economically impossible. 2 Likes

agaugust:Only an 1diot would have hid helos operate where heavy SPAAG is present What would happen to any of the other attack helos in that context? What you are not seeing is the multi-asset fusion that is bring demonstrated |

Patchesagain: So you now say Rooivalk can ONLY operate against rag tag M23 rebels armed with ordinary machine guns like 14.5mm, and that Rooivalk cannot fight against a real army. Okay, I agree. Multi-asset fusion that resulted in $40 million Rooivalk and $60 million Gripen = $ 100 million joint air assets firing an expensively priced guided missile and MISSING TARGET....MISSED A CLEARLY MARKED, ELECTRONICALLY DESIGNATED, AND CONFIRMED LOCATION TARGET in broad daylight...Alright, I see how the invited viewer air forces are expected to spend $ 100 million to fire and miss target in real life war and get k.illed in counter-fire reply from the enemy that has SAM and MANPAD like South Sudan army, not to talk of the real African regional powers.

africaken:11 Rooivalks. One stationed at air force's Overberg AF base home to the Test flight and Development Centre. Yes they can. Lesser Rooivalks in the space means more vehicles or armour. |

MikeCZAR:for a peace time army like south africa army may be,but not countries like kenya and nigeria dealing with insurgents |

agaugust:Doctrine. Look at how the helicopters are used. - The helicopter in anti-tank missions carries 16 missiles. - It is protected against such threats. Regional power? |

Henry240:Approximately! Add 20> modern heavy attack helicopters( Mi-28, Apache, Rooivalk etc) . And see how your air forces copes. Then have 30> medium transport helicopters. Again I'm also of the opinion that the LUH weren't bought due to operational requirements. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 8:19pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
MikeCZAR: Heavy Attack Helicopters - Air Force Light Scout Helicopters - Army If the LSH were bought due to operational requirements, there won't be a follow-on order for both types. MI-35M and MI-17 terminator for Air Force, Gazelle for Army.

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 8:21pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
agaugust:Not the operational missile. Marked by a Gripen fighter jets during tests the telemetry missile used to collect data missed the target. The reason for the miss has not been established. The Hellfire, India's Nag all have missed targets in tests. Your point? Again you demonstrate your lack of knowledge regarding missiles. 5 Likes |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 8:26pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
Henry240:Standardized fleet? Nope. Heavy dedicated attack helicopter in the class of Mi-28, Apache and the Rooivalk. The types bought can again be debated and their origin. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 8:32pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
africaken:Yes, insurgents. Nothing even the Oryx gunship can't handle backed by LIFT jets. Read about the fireforce: Helicopter warfare. http://www.jrtwood.com/article_fireforce.asp |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 8:39pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
MikeCZAR: Everything can be debated. However, MI-17terminator and MI-35M are both from the same contract. The MI-35M is a Heavy dedicated attack helicopter, terms are only going to confuse you. Air Force = MIL Army = EADS What isn't standardised in the fleet? Now...... You've gone pretty much off topic. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Patchesagain: 8:40pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
agaugust: Wtf are you talking about? It said "narrow miss" - so how do we know a soft skinned vehicle would survive? Also, targeting was done by a Grip - how do we know Rooikvalk would miss if it targeted? Also, what about Ingle and Spanish 76mm guided missiles? Dude, your argument is ludicrous!! |

agaugust: So what? You think every missilehits 1100%of the time? Demonstration was to show Rooivalk could use targeting info from other platforms |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 8:45pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
MikeCZAR:do you know how many forward operating bases we have in somalia .also a vulnerable border where alshabaab sneak in to ambush both military and police,plant IED and attack police stations and everyone want close air support and you still need to carry ISR tasks.this also is hundreds kilometers from where you carry out air craft overhaul
