Well, showing the attack on Westgate Mall in Nairobi and saying it was an attack on a market in Alexandria, Egypt is just ridiculous. It was the 1st and last time I watched the thing.

We've all been posting about OPVs and IPVs in Project Biro, we forgot about the Hydrographic vessel.

Here's the winning bid by Southern African Shipyards and Vard.

This is what is used to get to our bases in Antarctica - right?

Hydrographic survey is the science of measurement and description of features which affect maritime navigation, marine construction, dredging, offshore oil exploration/offshore oil drilling and related activities. Strong emphasis is placed on soundings, shorelines, tides, currents, seabed and submerged obstructions that relate to the previously mentioned activities. The term hydrography is l used synonymously to describe maritime cartography, which in the final stages of the hydrographic process uses the raw data collected through hydrographic survey into information usable by the end user.

The new HSV is a replacement for SAS Protea, the navy's white lady.

Tell me, does the SF ever go to the Antarctica? I know it's a demilitarised zone.. But just go there as "researchers" for survival and snow warfare... ?

You can answer in signals

What abt the J17 Thunder it's equally untested and we are generally drooling over the possibility. The Mawri has a number of Uses and it need not enter the strike role. I still maintain that using it will afford us a unique opportunity. It's not without its pitfalls but fail or not, there's a lot to learn.

These are the men that have been rescuing hostages in the North East for years since the insurgency began, they have been rescuing kins and kinsmen and even organize rescue operations for livestocks stolen by Boko Haram scouts

I wish we could one day make a movie about them.

The reason Kenya might no longer receive the air tractor
According to this link -- https://mobile.twitter.com/dailynation/status/834709513316028417

After successful deployment to Yemen and other regional hotspots, the United Arab Emirates is expected to place even more orders for the US-built Iomax 'Archangel' counter-insurgency aircraft.

The penultimate aircraft from a 24-aircraft order placed two years ago was on display at this year's IDEX in Abu Dhabi, with the final aircraft expected to be delivered to the UAE next month from the company's North Carolina plant.

A total of 12 additional aircraft – based on the Thrush 710P agricultural aircraft – could be ordered soon to bolster the Archangel fleet, according to Jim Toole, Iomax's chief technology officer.

'They will hopefully buy 12 more, but they haven't done it yet,' said Toole, indicating this batch would have a larger horizontal stabiliser and lower weight. 'It's the platform of choice for air-to-ground precision strike and long-endurance.'

Before the UAE ordered the Archangel, the country had been operating 24 armed Air Tractor AT-802 border patrol (BP) aircraft that had also been converted by Iomax. Despite sharing a similar appearance to the AT-802, the Archangel uses a slightly different airframe supplied by Thrush Aircraft instead.

Six of those AT-802 aircraft – the first to be converted by Iomax in Orlando, Florida – are now with Jordan, which is interested in upgrading the AT-802's weapon systems to the Archangel standard.

The Archangel aircraft has six dual-weapon hard points, three on each wing, that can carry 1,000lbs each including a variety of weapon systems and pods. At IDEX, the UAE aircraft included two Hellfire missiles, two CIRIT quad-pack launcher systems (QPLS), and two mock laser-guided GBU-58 Paveway II bombs.

An interesting addition to each wing's outboard weapon pylons was two Terma Modular Aircraft Survivability Equipment (MASE) pods, which provides 360 degree coverage against man-portable air defence (MANPAD) weapons.

Twenty-four pairs of MASE pods have been acquired by the UAE, providing an expedited self-protection capability for the Archangel. A future upgrade could see a fully-integrated self-protection suite fitted, freeing up the two outer stations for additional weapon stores.

Expanding more on how the UAE pilots use the aircraft on operations, Toole said that a favoured tactic is to fly night operations at medium altitude, where the aircraft is virtually invisible to those on the ground.

hollywood has had a very good relationship with the US military for a very long time,nigeria film industry can work alongside nigeria armed forces.should come up with a film that will be beneficial to both of them

Henry240:


At no point did i mention or say that the IPV has a better ground clearance than the Polaris. I said the ground clearance is standard, just like every other ATV.

How is this comment so difficult to understand?

jln115:

irrelevant if you said higher/the same.....there are many more important factors to take into account when comparing off road performance than ground clearance alone....so saying its the same as other ATVs means sh1t!!!


But anyway lets just leave it at that....i never disputed the IPVs capability for what its going to be used for.

Henry240:


Do you people have working brains in your heads at all?


I did not compare the IPV with the Polaris ATV. You're even talking about off-road performance which i never brought up. I've made this comment over 100 times, perharps i should translate it to Afrikaans.

Get this into your thick skulls! How many times would i have to repeat myself, are you daft?


In Afrikaans.


Het jy mense werk brein in jou kop nie? Die vraag gevra was slegs sowat grondvryhoogte.
Ek het die IPV nie vergelyk met die Polaris ATV. Jy selfs praat oor off-road prestasie wat ek nooit grootgemaak. Ek het hierdie opmerking meer as 100 keer gemaak, perharps ek moet dit vertaal na Afrikaans.
Kry dit in jou dik skedels! Hoeveel keer sal ek myself herhaal, is jy dom?

me think the ATV need more ground clearance
