I only have sympathy for the Nigerien and others who were killed and injured in the attack, my sincere condolences to them but I have issue with the US and EU who act as if they are in support of goverments in there fight against terrorism but in reality its in there interest to keep certain parts of the continent in perpetual conflicts.

That's just my opinion

Do you ever stop to ask yourself if a country can truly be set up to fail by foreign powers without help from insiders?
Every time we point our fingers at foreigners (EU or US) for putting African countries in this cycle of
Injustice—> civil unrest—>war—>poverty
do we think of our own politician that aided the foreigners?

with the restructuring going on in NAF it’s difficult to track these things, what we called QRF is probably under NAF special operations command now.
So the guys receiving the 6 months training from fourtroop LtD are probably descendants of those “QRF” that received it in 2015.

Odunayaw help out !

under NAFSOC is where the QRF lies.They are the fellows with the dashing eagle on a lightning bolt as badge. Methink ranks in the QRF have depleted because a good size of AFSF are initially NAF regt personnel
The ones undergoing training would definitely be under NAFSOC and not necessarily QRF( there are CSAR units under the command)

Every chief is fighting for full control over its Rambos

Please none of this should be taken as gospel truth
Hope I helped

If you've met Rear Admiral Apochi (The famous SBS founding officer) you'd agree its the SBS
They r the real principalities

Exactly, such incursion usually requires a sellout from within.
That's why i find it funny when people blame outsiders and not Africans, it's as if Africans are expected to be retarded and some genius is taking advantage of them. Quite sad.

Exactly! I mean how can you be angry at U.S government for having a base in Niger, was the government of Niger forced into letting America site a base there ?

I agree with you, there is also one crack Lt.commander too.
As for NASF there is a bad ass colonel, his pictures are on this thread.

There's plenty of Soviets who were killed in Angola that were never officially revealed, similar to South African Recce who were never reported dead in the conflict. Officials were likely to say they died on border patrol or during training for internal propaganda reasons.

An American article from an alleged defected Cuban general says about 10 000 Cubans died in the hands of the SADF and UNITA.

A defector becomes propaganda machine for those who grant him asylum. Simple logic. True numbers of dead in Cuba vs RSA war will never be known, cold war era is full of secrets, lies, and half truths. I think Cuba won the war by frustrating RSA to call for final truce treaty deal.

The South African Department of Defence (DoD) aims to acquire medium and light transport aircraft, infantry combat vehicles, mobile water provisioning systems, logistics vehicles, air-to-air missiles and inshore and offshore patrol vessels over the coming years.

This is according to its 2017 Annual Performance Plan, which states that "efforts to maintain and modernise defence capabilities are set to increase spending on departmental agencies and accounts by 12.8 per cent, or R2.7 billion, over the medium term."

Over the medium term, the DoD plans to replace its infantry combat vehicles, under Project Hoefyster for new Badger vehicles; develop a modern command-and-control capability; mobile water-provisioning system, and new "geographic systems". This is reflected in the projected increase in expenditure of 9.5 per cent, or R1.9 billion in the Infantry Capability sub-programme and 15.1 per cent, or R248 million in the Artillery Capability sub-programme over the medium term, both in the Landward Defence programme.

The Landward Defence budget will rise from R16.550 billion in 2017/18 to R17.134 billion in 2018/19 and R18.160 billion in 2019/20. This compares to R15.557 billion in 2016/17.

Spending in the Air Defence programme in the 2019/20 financial year will go up by 20 per cent, or R1.4 billion, and will cover the acquisition of medium and light transport aircraft in the Transport and Maritime Capability sub-programme, and precision-guided air force ammunition (the Denel Dynamics A-Darter air-to-air missile) and new-generation mobile communication capability in the Command and Control Capability sub-programme.

According to the Annual Performance Plan, Air Defence spending will increase from R6.628 billion in 2017/18 to R7.145 billion in 2018/19 and R8.572 billion in 2019/20.

Although not mentioned in the Annual Performance Plan, the SANDF is also replacing its heavyweight torpedo capability, and Armscor has issued a tender in this regard.

If Cuba won, they would have marched straight to Windhoek with their tanks. Castro would have killed for that moment of glory.

The closest they ever got to Namibia was 40km even when the SADF wasn't inside Angola to deter them, the thought of another encounter was enough to push them back.


Cuba was forced out of Angola and SWAPO was converted from being a Communist party on the negotiations table.

The only winners here were the Namibians because they got their own country back from South Africa in a single piece through a democratic process where SWAPO won instead of forcefully claiming power like in most African countries that got independence before.
