Foot patrol on the Caledon River, border with Lesotho. If the Neostead 2000 combat shotgun is good enough for the SAS, there really is no reason we didn't adopt it.
No wonder the late Mikhail Kalashnikov requested to meet and shake Tony Neophytou's hand: the man is a genius.
The NTW-20, the Neostead 2000, the Neopup PAW-20 (Inkunzi) and now the Inkunzi Strike.

A simulation game for US war-college students prepared participants for an invasion of West Africa in response to a terrorist attack on US soil, investigative news website The Intercept reports.
The hypothetical scenario involved a populist president reacting to a domestic terrorist attack by starting a war in West Africa. The war is touted as a three-year operation but turns into a protracted quagmire, echoing US involvement in Afghanistan after 2001.
The game was conducted last year during a series of exercises culminating in a five-day on-site session at the Air Force Wargaming Institute at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, according to material released under the Freedom of Information Act.
Called Joint Land, Air and Sea Strategic Special Program (JLASS-SP), it was held for 33rd time and brought together 148 students from seven institutes that prepare America’s future military leaders.
The JLASS-SP scenario details imaginary events during the term of Karl Maxwell McGraw, a factious independent Arizona politician who is elected to the office of president in 2020 on a populist platform.
His presidency is beset by a series of crises, including a devastating cyberattack on the Susquehanna nuclear power plant in Berwick, Pennsylvania in February 2021, an economic crisis in Asia, the rise of nationalism and right-wing extremism, as well as empowerment of an Islamist group called Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) in West Africa.
By 2021, AQIM has an estimated 38,000 fighters spread throughout Algeria, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger; and enough experience and clout to stage high-profile terrorist attacks. They target the Canadian Embassy in Mauritania’s capital Nouakchott, killing 135 people including the Canadian ambassador and his staff.
Another happens in New York and involves two trucks loaded with explosives, which the terrorists plan to detonate at high-profile targets in Manhattan. The plan goes wrong, and the bombs are instead triggered at both ends of the Lincoln Tunnel during morning rush hour, resulting in 435 deaths.
President McGraw’s response is to join forces with Canada and launch Operation Desert Strike in Mauritania with the nation’s consent. A military force lands in West Africa in June 2023 for what is promised to be a three-year
“well-planned, rapid, and efficient operation” to defeat AQIM.
Three years later, the situation has been anything but victorious for Washington, and insurgency attacks have increased dramatically by 2025, according to fictitious reports.
On Christmas Eve, eight coalition troops are killed in a bombing outside a Canadian base. Seven Americans are killed in an attack on a US military convoy. In an ambush, one Green Beret is killed and another one reportedly captured by the militants.
With no end in sight, the coalition crumbles. Canada announces that it is pulling out troops in April 2026, while other NATO allies rebuff America’s call for additional support.
A plan to hand over responsibility for security in the region to the African Union (AU) in November 2025 fails as AU members demand more money and remain reluctant to provide soldiers.
Instead of 70,000 US soldiers returning home by December 2026 deadline, the American commander of the operation seeks to prolong it for at least 12 months and deploy even more troops.
The exercise scenario ended before AFRICOM or President McGraw could respond to that call, but The Intercept believes it knows what would have transpired.
“Given the range of responses over the last decade-plus to setbacks in Afghanistan and Iraq, Syria and Somalia, Yemen and Libya, you don’t need a crystal ball, or to attend a US military war college, to have a pretty good idea of President McGraw’s decision,” the report said.
“It seems safe to assume that America’s fictitious war in West Africa will continue into the 2030s, just as its wars of the 2000s have staggered into the late 2010s.”

US is already working on a plan to invade West Africa. Most likely Nigeria. You might see this as just a war game, but after having a plan such as this, they only need orders to invade.

On foot patrols in urban centres like Goma, one sometimes sees 1 or 2 shotties in a platoon.
The only guys who routinely field them are the MPs who get assigned to riot duty.

This is just a bunch of hyperbolic rubbish, to be filed away with THE U.S CIA signing of on the demise of NIGERIA in 2014. The U.S suffered 28 casualties in Somalia and the U.S Congress demanded the immediate withdrawal of ALL U.S Soldiers.
The U.S and Nigeria are Allies and their INTERESTS are in alignment.The U.S trains certain segments of NIGERIAN armed Forces and Some U.S SOF have trained in the N'Delta.
There are certain people who would believe in everything and anything that has to do with the breakup of Nigeria, it ain't going to happen.

The Namibian Air Force is relatively new, didn't exist until post independence. For a population of about 2 million people without oil money they're punching above their wight.

Yep. At work I can log on to the US Army War College and read them. Hardly the nefarious endeavour that Putin the Thug's propaganda arm, Russia Today is making it out to be.
Dare I say, anyone at the SA Military Academy can and do produce simulated plans for SANDF invasions of various African countries.
It's nothing more than an interesting intellectual exercise which all professional militaries should do.
