Henry240:

Yes.

If you have a problem with that, your issue to deal with.

in the words of the one and only Henry: If you have a problem with that, your issue to deal with

OK guys, let's cut it out..

I read there's plenty of police deployed in Durban because of some gangster funeral tomorrow. We know how chaotic it gets. The STF could be on the list.

I was young in the 90s when it happened, the only television footage I remember was a Ratel in Maseru.. Let's do it again but this time we bang bang and make it the shortest war of the 21st century.

Aftermath

Aside from the skirmish outside of the Presidential compound, the real combat, the battle of Katse Dam and the battle for Mokanyane base has literally zero info on it.

I have been looking for years and all I have ever found is two paragraphs on Wiki:

The battle for Mokanyane base

Two 7 Med members were killed during intense fighting at Katse Dam on 22 September 1998, attached to the pathfinders namely Capt. (Doctor) J. Nel[8] and Sgt. J.A. Sax.[9] Capt. Nel was posthumously awarded the SAMHS Cross in attempting to save Sgt. Sax's life. Sergeant Sax was the first newly formed South African National Defence Force soldier to be killed in action. After Sergeant Sax was seriously wounded Captain (Doctor) Johan Nel went to the Sergeant's aid in spite of heavy enemy fire. Shortly afterwards Captain Nel was also hit and killed by enemy fire whilst attempting to treat the Sergeant's injuries. Several members of 7 Med distinguished themselves during the initial incursion into Lesotho.

In many cases 7 Med members were at the forefront of the action. Another member of the unit, Cpl Ewerhard Brits, was awarded the SAMHS Cross for actions of bravery at Mokanyane Base where 8 members of the Parachute Battalion were killed in action. The battle for Mokanyane base had some of the fiercest fighting in the whole conflict.

If anyone has any info pleeeease share!!!!

Look at all those R4 rifles, they look very new... They could have been sold to Lesotho after 94 then used to shoot at the very guys who supplied them, talk about the dog biting the owner... Hehe

On a side note
One of the decepticons in the new Transformers film can transform into a Gripen and I think he has an SAAF rounded

Google Col Robbie Hartslief (RIP) and if your google-fu is up to snuff, you'll be able to read the entire now de-classified report on Operation Boleas .

Sometime in the DRC:
A mission up in Rutshuru, and this was our transport from Goma. A colleague from MI takes one look at the bird and balks, "The Russians who made this no longer transport people in it - only cargo - so no, I'm staying right here."

A bunch of us knew, but no way enlisted and troopies would fly in the rust bucket whilst we waited for Oryx.

#Fire-fighting by Oryx.
#Peace-time training.

Lol, looks like they stole my idea. Anyway, with patience, courage (that it can be done) and determination, they can create something special ( meaning world renown) stretching along their borders with Nigeria. It is conceivable to turn such a project into a man made lake. The Chinese have the expertise. While a lake or trench that runs the length of the Nigeria Cameroon borders wont stop terrorists of illegals from crossing over, it will severely limit their ability.

....good too for war with us or, for if Nigerians are stupid enough to break up their nation, to limit refugees. But they got to dig deep and wide and then line their side with barbed wire.

isn't a bad idea though,won't want to have refugees flooding our cities,like they are already doing to calabar when another election comes ,and almighty Paul biya that has been the president since Two decades is voted out and refuses to step down,here's a link,memory from the past I call it,

No offense Nigeria will kick your Butt's anyday any time

Bro Nigeria has no operational frigates, neither do you have any corvettes, your landing ships are like 50 years old,and u also doubt if they are operational.

Nigeria's blue water capability consists out of nns unity, centenary,thunder and okpabana all of which are OPVs.

frumentius:
Sometime in the DRC:


A bunch of us knew, but no way enlisted and troopies would fly in the RUST BUCKET whilst we waited for Oryx.

u southie are pretty annoying with this my own better pass your own

Petty silliness, Off-course to be expected from you, so i am not surprised.

While you are at it, that helicopter continues to enjoy world wide acclaim including very good export sales.

"How man French origin South-African helicopters have been sold?"........................... I thought as much, Zero!

South-African French origin helicopters are the "world's best helicopters" nobody wants.

Take your onanism elsewhere.
Which part of, "The Russians who made this particular model of the chopper, consider it so unsafe they no longer fly people in it, only cargo", don't you understand?
Now kindly sod off.
