Good photos of your Hawk pilots.

Now show us your Gripen pilots?

By the way, that picture is unrelated.
Hawk pilots wear different G suits, these are Gripen pilots!

The Rooivalk is useless because rebel took over the city but Hinds are still useful in Nigeria, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan Syria, Iraq, etc. Terrorist took over many cities in those countries but hinds did the needful.

South Africa alway running from major confrontation from Central African Republic to 0. YV. U. 0Sudan then Burundi and now Congo.

Seems you know absolutely nothing about foreign affairs.

Here's a simple question, was Burundi a relatively stable country when SANDF left or did Burundi's current political crisis happen while SA were still deployed there.

Is that suppose to be a requirement for a country with such population?

Wise up. Keep dodging my question.

It's useless to me to even narrate to you how a Gripen would r#pe your skies, you can't even explain to me how you don't even have a modern fighter in your assernal.

Jln. You be olodo and you forget easily. Our arguments as negative G and Positive G. My opinion that day wasn't that the gripen won't fly inverted.

You don't have anything to say. Just go to bed.

I can see a female in the first picture. This is enough to prove these are not gripen pilots. Am sure most of them fly transport/other aircrafts.

Because woman in Nigeria are not smart enough to pilot modern fighters? Or wait you have no modern fighters.... I'm laughing in both Igbo and Yoruba now.

I'm not here to debate with you on Basic engineering principles.

What a boring attempt. Search for the debate post again and see I supported whatever argument we had with reference and facts.

I have no reason to drag my self into an argument with you for innovating the world undedicated attack helicopter.

Now keep trolling. I don't do arguments without facts or reference. The last one here I on Sierra Leone, I posted links etc.

I have always been the one here telling you to back up claims with points.


Are you even daft to think even a year one student will have no idea on G's.

You need to invest your data bills on quality education if you're this forgetful
Seems you need my attention to remain relevant. Here's the last one for you.

Keep quoting me, I'm done with you.

I will mention here that the SAAF has at least one lady Gripen pilot: Cathy Labuschagne. I remember when she first qualified on the Gripen back in 2010, it made big news at the time and being an avid 94.7 Highveld listener, I caught the first radio interview she gave (to Whackhead Simpson).

T-55 tank at the Armour Museum in Bloemy. There has been a lot of debate over the years as to the circumstances of this tank's exact origin.

This tank was supposedly built in Poland in 1975. It resembles a typical Polish T-55A, but is one of only 10 known examples in existence which received the designation "T-55LD". To this day it remains unclear what the "LD" actually stood for, if it was a reference to the particular turret/chassis combination or the original export customer (Libya).

According to a few armour historians, the fact that the "L" is stamped on the hull and "D" is stamped on the turret indicates that this tank may have been created in 1975 by mating the turret and chassis of two separate, older tanks.

Some people have theorized this is not a T-55 at all, but a T-54 which was rebuilt to T-55 standards (known generally as a T-54B) which may have even received a T-55 turret.

Semantics aside, the tank in its present form did not see service with the Polish Army but was sent straight to Libya from the factory, where it saw only about three years of service with the Libyan Army. In 1978 it was written off as military aid to Idi Amin's collapsing government in Uganda. The freighter carrying the tanks got stuck in Durban though, and the T-55 ended up in the hands of the SADF. It was used in Tempe for many years for evaluation purposes and is now owned by the Armour Museum (a second T-55LD is currently at the War Museum in Joburg, and the other eight are believed to be in semi-permanent storage at Inkomo Barracks in Zimbabwe).

More photos of one of 2 ships the Nigerian navy is interested in. The SSV costs around $41 million, which is quite cheap.

The Philippines navy paid 82 million for 2 ships and intends to acquire 2 more.

The vessel has a minimum operating range of 7,500 nautical miles. It is about 120 meters long and has a maximum carrying capacity of 11,583 tons.

The ship can carry 500 troops, two landing craft units, three helicopters and two rigid-hull inflatable boats. It can also stay for a month at sea.
Goodness me the price is like bumshorts on the ship..The Philpino variant is d best in my opinion

As for the KCR-60 (If the news is true) shld be lengthened a bit One built at Port Harcourt or maybe the two..slap ASMs and the FL-3000N SAM and I can rest easy
