So, dear Henry, unclench those butt cheeks.

Henry240:


I'm not disputing whether or not Denel is the MRO contractor in Africa. That truly is of no concern to me. I am basing my argument on the facts on the ground, and the available information to which i am privy to.

chinese8107:


I guess not that simple, they may want to by TOT but knowning this could be interupt by USA, instead they say buying 1.

China do have similar technology ,this concept was first created by german scientist in1950s.SA has the leading tech in this field.

How or whether the data was stolen by China.I don't know ,but I know the technology is still not mature in China.And SA closed the reactor aleady around 2010.

tdayof:
This sound interesting. Any news link?

chinese8107:


really? this is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Have you caught the criminals? What's the ending?
If this is real the Chinese really worthy hatred.I cannot make judgement based on my knownledge.because this type of news if appears in USA,most people have no reaction just like there are alien reports on their media. They take it for granted or ignore.unless CNN or Washington post,New Yourk Times ,or other open source main strain media comfims .

is this only insider knows or well known so that everybody in your country think Chinese are thief ? like what German people think about *** in 1930s?

andrewza:



or you buy one to copy it and build cheap knock offs.


The data was stolen and then china started making great gains so it looks strange does it not

chinese8107:


Even you know this scenario,sounds like every thing can be “buy one and copy.“ Then why still some people negotiate about TOT ?

Both side ensure the failed bit.

andrewza:



Sorry but it not the china SOP. You well known for making illegal copies and stealing information. You cant be trusted

chinese8107:


No supprise

The SA follows the western especially US media and policy.

But even US media is cautious fabricating some news.Anserwer me a simply question,do you think CNN is 100% truth,and can be trusted.

USA Japan and some Western countries always bashing China and Russia on various issues,as if they are moral.But many contries still follow for various reasons.

andrewza:



I don't watch CNN the pebble bed reactor theft came to light from leaked intelligence documents and the rooivalk and A darta are from denel who wont work with china. Personaly I think the CCP is a corrupt cancer that needs to be wiped out. China builds ghost cities to inflate there GDP, murders prisoners locked up for the faith and harvest there organs, bulldozed a church with the priest in side. I will not post links, do your own research and funny you mention western media since china as in vest millions of USD to put there propergander in western media.

chinese8107:

I am not a CCP propagandist.

Henry240:
Patches689, Andrewza, Chinese8107, you guys are posting off-topic. Stay on topic or take your discussion elsewhere

Members of Task Force Hurricane, 1st Battalion, 124th Infantry Regiment, are conducting unmanned aerial vehicle training with members of the Kenyan Defense Force Sept. 8-24, 2016, at a training center in Kenya.
KDF Military Intelligence Battalion members received basic training on assembly, disassembly, repair, and preventative maintenance for the AeroVironment RQ-11 Raven as those topics relate to basic mission planning and advanced flight plans.
The two-week training not only helped to continue fostering multinational relationships within the Horn of Africa, but it also gave the KDF additional knowledge and a new capability on the battlefield, said U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Charles Lewellen, 1/124th Inf. Rgt. and noncommissioned officer in charge of the Raven training.
“This (training) is going to help them survey the battlefield to be able to see what their obstacles are and what they can do through African Union Mission in Somalia in order to combat terrorism throughout the Horn of Africa,” said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Charles Wirks, 1/124 Inf. Rgt. and Raven master trainer.
The class of approximately 40 KDF soldiers came with various levels of UAV experience, but they all valued the instructors’ knowledge and experience with the Raven to help them in future real world situations.
“Using the experience the trainers have passed to us as students, we look forward to getting as much (knowledge) as we can from them so that we can be more capable,” said KDF Cpl. Geoffrey, Military Intelligence Battalion. “The lessons gave us the experience to integrate into our standard operating procedures to become better prepared and better pilots.”
The course provided classroom lessons on basic care and assembly on the Raven, computer programs used in flight, how to tactfully employ it, and flying lessons. The students flew the Raven for daytime and nighttime practice as well.
“Our teams are trained to support the companies in combat. They provide reconnaissance and surveillance, so it’s good we have the platforms to be able to see (what is ahead),” said KDF Senior Sgt. Kasyoka. “We have that eye to see the other side and it’s good to provide that (imagery) to the commander to make a decisive action. This is why we feel it’s very important to have this training.”
At the end of the day, the training comes to show CJTF-HOA’s continuing commitment to support AMISOM troop contributing countries. The instructors were able to pass on their knowledge to the students, and in return the students kept the instructors on their toes with advanced technical questions during the classes, said Lewellen.
“The students have been very receptive and came wanting to learn more,” Wirks said. “During the training we get to see them face to face, see where their concerns are and they see how we operate with the systems. It’s great to have an open communication with them.”
As a troop contributing country to AMISOM, the KDF will now be able to take lessons learned from the Raven training and apply them in the defense force’s continued efforts to counter terrorism throughout the Horn of Africa, Lewellen said.
“The experience has been incredible and we realize there is so much (to learn) about the UAVs,” Kasyoka said. “The UAVs are the future, it’s the eye in the sky for the commander on the ground. It’s a good experience and fun too.”
