Henry240: Why is it better? Firstly they completely different guidiance systems and diffrent rang bracket. The umkhonto is short range wher the LY80 is meduime range. The LY80 is all so guided tgrough a illumination radar method where the umkontho is IR, Radar or Dual. Comparing these sytems is like comparing a stinger to a patriot. They fill diffrent roles in a air defence network. 5 Likes |

Henry240: I said "probably unreliable" as a possibility guess... Then you proceed in stating that they're "better" as a surety statement. Now if a statement has to be proven, it's yours. But anyways I have a username "ActiveKruger", the "South-African" is not it. 3 Likes |

I trust these 2 accounts of trying to establish what happened in Kulbiyow far more than the propaganda from both the KDF and the kebabs. https://www.africandefence.net/analysis-of-competing-claims-about-the-january-2017-al-shabaab-attack-on-the-kdf-base-at-kulbiyow/ https://www.bellingcat.com/news/africa/2017/03/21/happened-kulbiyow-somalia-open-source-investigation/ |

Already the official narrative is breaking down! It seems the attacker is still in jail. The man initially named as the attacker who mowed down pedestrians and stabbed a police officer outside Parliament is in fact still in prison for an unrelated matter, his brother has said.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/abu-izzadeen-brother-mistaken-london-attacker-alive-still-in-prison-a7644661.html These days the story collapses as soon as it hits the press since the media or rather their agents no longer stick to the script as mandated by their Masters. Look back at the Boston bombing,Paris attacks or the Nice truck murders-one hard glance and it falls apaRT. |

frumentius: Interesting. Final KDF KIA Kolbio was at least 23 max 30. A navy buddy of mine knew the entire unit. El Adde was nearly a complete disaster. Only an overwatching section outside the camp escaped unscathed and total KIA were 120. Btw,the AS attack videos didn't show their own KIA which were at least 200 despite the poorly coordinated fire after the TOC and mortars were wrecked in the massive explosion. The worst thing is the coy commander had been specifically warned about a VBIED attack. The section saw the MRAP approach around 4am and actually called it in. These things happen from overconfidence of victory and occur in every army that forgets 24/7 tactical awareness. Ask the 2/7th who sleepwalked into an ambush at LZ Albany and took 150 KIA just after winning the hardfought battle of LZ Xray in the Ia Drang. More recently the Russians lost an entire airborne coy at Ulus Kert in 2000. Having won the 2nd Chechen war they understandably underestimated the for and paid the price. Nothing expressed the depth of Russian-Chechen animosity more than the battle cries hurled back and forth across the firing lines during the siege of Groznyy. To the Chechen shouts of “Allah Akhbar!” the Russians would respond, “Christ is Risen!”http://thesaker.is/ulus-kert-an-airborne-companys-last-stand/ In every human organisation there is occasional laxity;armies pay the highest price. The most painful thing is the El Adde coy commander was a much feared instructor at AFTC in Eldoret who would collectively crucify the officer cadets for infractions. Perhaps that rigid inflexibility led him to ignore intel and advice from his own guys who implored him not to allow the MRAP into their perimeter? Who knows? Hindsight is always 20/20. |

chike00:Hmmm, let me try and follow your logic: I post that SA has applied to the UNSC to sell Umkhonto to Iran. People respond in all manner of serious and jocular posts. This convivial atmosphere is polluted by Henry's "Oh the Chinese have better". I see a bald assertion there and not much assumption. And naturally, those are challenged around here. A palliative for you: post photos, ignore our discussions and you'll be as good as rain. 3 Likes |

ActivateKruger: HAHAHAA!1 My dude this world isn't the way it seems. Not at all. I'm on my phone right now but will only say this-don't assume anything;check all facts and figures and the narrative itself. Very very rarely does it ever hold up. Btw,I only gave facts on this latest false flag. Why would the attackers own bro swear hes still in jail? You read the link? When I have time I'll give you a special 'conspiracy theory' just for you involving surprising S African players. As always there'll be links and sources. |

ActivateKruger:Don't feel special just yet, i never looked at names of people that post whatever, i simply reply to it if i thought it was out of place, so no, i wasn't targeting you in any way, shape or form, until now i didn't even know what your username was. So no, wasn't after ya. I was simply saying calling something others find important a go-cart can be seen as insulting, which in turn generate arguments. And commenting on Nairaland isn't about seniority, so you insinuating that I'm new here is another miss. Been here way before i was on beegeagle All I'm saying is, this whole thing btw south Africans and Nigerians should quiet down, so not hating on you and won't start an argument either, telling me to grow up was out of line, such comments is what start arguments, now you know who needs to grow up.

These lovely AML-90 Lynxes were recently modernised by a French company for an unknown client. Not sure if the blue is the final coat of paint or just a primer. It would seem to indicate gendarmerie as opposed to armed forces vehicles. Cannot recognise the licence plate, unfortunately. End user could be Morocco or Tunisia. 1 Like
