OFF TOPIC

Apart from the SANDF, i don't recall any major African military that deploys Recon vehicles for combat . Case in point the ATV, which is a rarity in the African battlespace. Special forces ATVs like the one below simply isn't used in combat. Nigeria has a few Polaris ATVs but they aren't used.


Although i'm a strong opponent of ATV and Special Forces Vehicles, as i don't see the protection they provide, i do understand they are an important asset and a force multiplier, especially when used similarly to how this "forward controller" (pictured) is using them.


My question is, why do African countries not use them(ATVs, SPVs and motor-bikes), is it a doctrinal issue or just plain ignorance?

Suggested upgrades for the JF-17

1. Engine: Replace the vintage RD-33(RD-93) with modern, fuel efficient and signature efficient engines. SNECMA or GE can help.
2. Radar: The present KLJ-7 is literally a joke. In modern times when radars are phase arrayed or Electronically Steered, KLJ-7 is mechanically steeered. Not to mention the radar also limits the maximum range of the SD-10BVRAAM.
3. Avionics: While coding the avionics in C can be cost effective and done by college students, it has a higher failure rate and more prone to hacks, attacks and blocks as compared to modern military specific languages like ADA.
4. Weapons: The one thing JFT lacks is diversity in weapons. It has a mix of Chinese and Pakistani weapon systems. The lack of reliable Western and NATO weapons can prove damaging in a war.
