The Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer announced today, Oct. 16, a firm order for six A-29 Super Tucano light attack and advanced training aircraft from an undisclosed customer. The aircraft can be used for tactical and advanced training as well as light attack and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) missions. Deliveries will be concluded in 2018.

After more than ten years in service, the A-29 Super Tucano has gained an excellent performance record: over 320,000 flight hours and nearly 40,000 combat hours. With more than 150 weapons configurations certified, the A-29 Super Tucano is equipped with advanced electronic, electro-optic, infrared and laser system technologies, as well as secure radio systems with data links and unrivalled munitions capacity.

Embraer's Super Tucano CAS & training aircraft has been scoring major sales successes during the last two years.

The most recent is most certainly the potential $593 mn FMS the DSCA approved in August 2017 for 12 twelve A-29s. According the DSCA, they will be used by Nigeria to combat the Islamist militia Boko Haram and other extremist groups, such as the Islamic State West Africa splinter group.

Ghana also announced intention to procure six new A-29 Super Tucano aircraft during Paris Air Show 2015.

In a 2006 report on U.S. infantry weapon reliability, the M92 scored at the bottom compared to the M4 carbine, M16 rifle, and M249 squad automatic weapon. In every category, from handling to accuracy to maintainability, the M92 came in dead last—or tied for last. Twenty-six percent of soldiers polled reported their weapon jammed while shooting at the enemy. Forty-six percent reported they didn't have confidence in their pistol's reliability.

Everyone is laughing at them. Igbo men and dirty politics are 5&6. Zuma is of no use to them and he has done nothing to deserve such recognition.

I'm an igbo man and I find this your post totally disrespectful and out of line. The action of a certain individual does not reflect the character of the entire igbo tribe.

Truvelo should check who they sell their rifles to. I was disgusted at Truvelo when I saw a video of a crying kid being removed a bullet fired from Truvelo rifle. Truvelo sold those things to Gaddafi whom he used against civilians.

Following the acquisition of Proxdynamics, the Norwegian designer of the Black Hornet, by Flir Systems, South Africa is one of only two countries in Africa to which the Black Hornet Nano Drone may be exported. The other country is Algeria.

The system will only be available to military, police and government clients in South Africa, with local support and training.

Desert Wolf Consulting represents Flir Government Systems in southern Africa. The first demonstration system is already in the country and Desert Wolf will launch the Black Hornet PD-100 in South Africa during October.

Slightly off topic,but not by much seeing how everyone is on the tacticool! I saw this pic of the 13 Para Dragoon Regt of the French Specops Bgde,one of the oldest fighting units in the world formed in 1676. Originally dragoons,horse mounted infantrymen they morphed into an armoured corps pre WW2 to their present specops unit in the early 50s.
