Henry240:

That was before the delivery to South-Africa.

ActivateKruger:


If you say "biking" then please know I won't be there, I have zero experience in BIKES. Quads maybe.

frumentius:

Was waiting for the self-esteem brigade to jump in. Wrong!!!
For

Dogs bark meanwhile the caravan moves on.
Kindly take your high self-esteem and sod off.

Henry240:

You "sound" so miserable. I could not care less about South-Africa. Fact is it was before delivery to South-Africa.

Jumping in to rant is irrelevant.

GreenandGold:


Is that Sabie?

frumentius:


Care to elaborate why my personal wish that they hadn't welded on that contraption compels you to call me an arsehole?

newafricaken254:
so you once deployed to Sweden in a combined air operations exercise in 2012 ,thats one

newafricaken254:
can any south African elaborate more about this incident !?

ssaengine:


Where has your confidence run off too? Where are your " "? And I'm not sure about your schooling, but as far as I'm aware ONE > NONE, as you so confidently claimed.

The SAAF Gripen jets in the video below are flying with a foreign air force over Cape Town. Name the foreign air force and tell us how often that exercise occurs.

the German tornado jets came to use the Denel Overberg Test Range (OTR)

overhypedsteve:
you were just mocking the effort of the engineers that worked on that thing by calling it a "contraption " were you lost for words? I am yet to see you use the word contraption to describe any of your SANDF equipment. You were referring to that piece of innovation with contempt. And tried to cover it up by giving a suggestion which you know is a no brainer . Yes of course it would be improved upon with or without your suggestions.

GreenandGold:
Same design.

Question why has SANDF never participated in exercises with foreign Air Force.



Judy respond with the exercises name? We all have pictures of aircrafts in foreign countries so we can all claim they were there for some certain exvercise.


I knew someone posted pictures of the German Tornado in SA for a certain reason.

Edit: The tornado cams for the OTR. Pictures were posted in here then.

newafricaken254:
answer the question,because we all know that south africa gripen jets have never undertaken any dogfight training exercises with a foreign air force in south Africa or foreign country

newafricaken254:
can any south African elaborate more about this incident !?

tdayof:
Nigerian Airforce Alpha jet in UK during "Exercise don't ask me the name". As you can see, this is not an African Airport.

frumentius:

Rubbish! Contraption is a neutral term and I've happily used the word with regards to SAAF Hawk tests at TFDC on this thread.
Awaiting your apology .

ssaengine:


Side question/off topic....Can NAF Alpha jets fire air-air missiles? In fact can any alpha jet anywhere fire missiles?

Edit: never mind, I googled it

frumentius:


You again? Still waiting for where anyone said MI-17s can't carry passengers or Jordan donated 150 Ratels. Self-esteem brigade in full force.

ActivateKruger:


Wrong timing my friend. The thread is about to fall into chaos. Anyways where's that elongated Hornet?

ssaengine:


My question is who is asking? Even if SAAF has zero exercises with foreign air forces....so what? Who in SADC region can we hold a major exercise with using Gripen? Maybe Botswana soon, possibly Zambia.

What benefit would there be flying all the way to Egypt for an exercise? Why don't they come here?

newafricaken254:
your neighbour angola has SU-30 jets

andrewza:


that was the last time. Tornadoes have been here rather often. They have been here for good hope and in one of them the gripens had to stand down so that the tornadoes could actually attack the ship, since the gripens where holding them off so while.


Big problem with air craft coming here is cost. Nigeria cant afford to come here for example. Though SAAF does sends it pilots to fly in other countries. There are SAAF pilots flying Russian aircraft against Russians for example. SAAF has a lot of experince with other aircraft this way. Example look at our current air chief who qualified on the Mi8 and Mi24.
