giles14: And a new orxy would be better. New blades, new chassis, new engines, new cockpit. Reduced weight more power and the orxy mk2 would out perfom any thing 1 Like |

andrewza: There's no existing plan for one, both Armscor and the CSIR don't have a research paper on it. We'll have to take an existing helicopter, get a license to produce our own variant. We should be good, on theory at least. |

giles14: I forgot the EC725 Super Puma with the same flight ceiling as the Mi-38. The thing about it is that it's the closest thing to the Oryx in terms of engineering layout BUT the costs are typically European. |

ActivateKruger: Still think it would be better to get new orxy helicopters. Basically that means we get supper puma. |

This gem I got from a 3rd party it a extract from SA mercy in Angola after 1990s. As their flight hours accumulated the South Africans became increasingly taken with the Russian helicopter in comparison to what they had flown in the SAAF. Tait said, "and it could do with Western avionics and a more ergonomically-designed cockpit lay-out, but it is far superior to just about anything else in its weight class in a hot and high environment and is capable of carrying heavier loads. So yeah mi17 is not a bad idea going Russian. Only need to modify the cockpit and install our EW and radios. All so as said denel does maintains on Russian choppers 3 Likes |

ActivateKruger: RPG 7 MLRS AK style rifle 1.45mm anti material rifel ZSU 23 anti air guns Extra extra We use a lot of Russian gear and gear that is similar to what Russia uses. We do t use Russian doctren, Radios, Electrons or training. But using there gear is fine. I mean we should not discount the Mi17. We can get the cheap, we can easily modify them, we all ready do maintenance on them. 1 Like |

andrewza: These things literally fell off a Soviet truck in the Angolan bush. We didn't buy them. But you don't seem to get it, it's beyond what works and not. It's now about heritage, from the days of the Puma, then Super Puma and now Oryx. People relate to these things, it's the reason why parents take kids to the military demonstrations because there's a story to tell and it's a reason why we're here on this site. There must be continuity, it keeps the the industry flooded with fresh blood who grew an interest in this field after seeing an Orxy dramatically dropping Parabats in a show and a father cheering "this is how we did it". The EC725 is the next logical evolution of the Oryx. The MK3 should be born from this platform. 1 Like |

ActivateKruger: Cheaper to buy, cheaper to run, less manpower to run, has more internal volume. It one and only down size is that it can not fit in side a frigates hanger. Mi17 is choice if we want lots of helicopters. |

andrewza: I'm not saying they stand at North Korea's border and try fly one from there to his home/mansion. But drones the size of flies (which the U.S definitely has) are easy to smuggle into anywhere really....get a spy posing as a tourist to release one into the capital. A few days of flying around and a government building can be entered. P.S I know what Black Hornet is used for, hence I said "secret Black Hornet type" drones. |
