africaken254: And. SA has a small Muslim population and not seen has Islamic or a enemy of Islam by even the most extremist of Islamic groups. Any attack would be on a third party. Even then tge chances are low. Regulare crime is a bigger threat. |

Fynline: Really cool videos in all. Loved the swag of the pilots and the QRF guys in the video. We really need to replace the Alpha jets. After serving for 35 years, they need to go. The boys are well equipped, seems the airforce also now use the Ops-core FAST helmet. |

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? 1 Like

Henry240:Namibia, Botswana and Zambia special forces units are using them. Now my answer to your question: Hope you don't find this offending or anything. But most African armed lack special forces capability and I mean the full package selection(doctors, specialist trainers etc), training, doctrine, industry etc. Look at the recent Nigerian army exercise. Air assault is still being mostly maintained in the elite units. Compared to SA which has an entire battalion/unit specializing in air assault while the parachutes battalions and sf can also provide the capability. The need for special forces is only being fully appreciated recently with the spike in terror on the continent. It is evident in the number of sf units popping up in African armed forces.

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. |

giles14: The west can't sell weapon doesn't mean Nigeria doesn't have the capability to do that. look at countries like SA. We should man up and increase our technology and stop depending on buying always. |
