Thank you very much Mynd44. Your efforts to always bring sanity to this thread is appreciated.

Nigerian navy ship

Congratulations to the Senegalese Navy.

Senegal has ordered from PT PAL Indonesia, 1 SSV(the same ship ordered by the Philippines navy), 3 KCR-60 missile corvettes (60 meters) and 2 KCR-45 missile boats, 40 meters.

As well as Senegal, Gabon and Guinea have also ordered 2 KCR-60 missile vessels each. 4 boats in all from PT PAL.

So we have;

Senegal: 1 SSV, 3 KCR-60 and 2 KCR-45

Gabon: 2 KCR-60

Guinea: 2 KCR-60

A render of the Mirage F1 AZ, the SAAF received 32 of this particular F1 for a single squadron. In total the SAAF operated 90 Dassault Mirages.

In 1997. The Mirage F1 was retired. The airframes became collectors items.

One night in our Ops Centre over the comms, I was witness to a Recce commander refusing to "fvcking night-infil my men on a fvcking rust bucket Hip" [MI-8]. Our plan had been for 2 Oryx to insert Recces and Uruguayan SF at night ahead of a fleeing foreign element linked to the ADF...[OPSEC precludes me from more details]. Needless to say, URUBATT also scrubbed the mission. The 2 Oryx had been re-tasked to convey Higher UN civilians from New York and the FIB mission had been assigned the MI-8s.

So yes, Oryx rotors overhead is a salvation, especially now that FIB platoons are going out on 24-hour patrols and deliberately initiating contact. Of course Rooivalk have become very valuable assets for CAS in that scenario. Then again, UN and geo-politics has come to knobble the FIB's effectiveness.

You talk about the Recce and Uruguay SF. Where are the Tanzanian SFs? I know they sent a very large number of their special forces in the FIB.

90 that's quite a haul, with the upgrades SA made on them they could have sold it to countries looking for quick fighter fleet fix like Argentina, chile, peru etc and make some money out of it.

This is a challenge tho. With those capabilities, they are simply taking over the West African waters . I am waiting for NN final decision on PT PAL.

We need the SSV and some frigates .

We will have to wait and see what the Nigerian navy is interested in. However if we eventually do get the SSV, i'm sure the navy would go for missile boats also.

In terms of a Corvette, we should continue with the Type-056.

That been said, the Senegalese purchase is very good and practical. Saudi money is doing good for them.

If we get the SSV, NN as a professional force knows she needs to get frigates or corvettes. The type 056 this time, will be well armed.

I personally wonder what happened to all the airframes (including of those converted into the Atlas Cheetah)..... I know some were downed in Angola but that's less than a dozen, others sold in to Chile then others on static display... But there should be a dozen more floating around in some hangars.


Then there's the issue of 260 Impala MK/MK2 trainers/light attack which were produced for the SAAF in the same era.. I'm no aircraft engineer but 100+ should be able to fly, I haven't seen those flying since they were retired for the BAE Hawk.
