Not like I expected any thing but a cut. Hopefully the sandf can recover funds through other means. |

Slightly off-topic That Zuma's free tertiary education is not feasible nor is it practical. It is calculated that you you'll need almost R60bn annually to fund it, increase it according to tuition fees which means it can reach R100bn in less than 15 years. The problem in South Africa's economics is not the lack of graduates but it's the lack of startup businesses. So after spending R60bn on people (who eventually dropout) they'll still have little prospects of finding jobs, at least the ones they studied for. I personally know plenty of varsity graduates with shitty jobs. So what is my solution.....? It's simple, the only free education that the state should engage in is at technical college level like FETs (or TVETs as they call them now). Someone who can't afford to go to university should at least get a technical skill that he could turn into a job. Secondly, cut down on child support grant and invest that money on business opportunity making schemes especially in the townships and rural areas like affordable light industrial zones and office spaces. At least then graduates with technical skills can make use of them for self employment opportunities. Till then, everything will crumble in the name of free education with no benefits. 3 Likes |

Here's a short military/alien film shot in Johannesburg and Witbank. American and South Africa cast with a South African director, Neill Blomkamp..... Forget it says Texas. There's the Denel Iklwa and RG series vehicles doing an alien chase down. Pretty much dark but it's cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQ2t_yNHQs 1 Like |

jln115: No the 105,specifically made for anti armour as seen in the first pic. IIRC,an APS has been developed.

kikuyu1: Expect nothing different from him. Zuma wasn't the problem, ANC is. Maybe when out-of-the-circle politicians like Julius Malema takes over maybe something can be different. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 2:43pm On Feb 22, 2018 |
kikuyu1:There are no 105 in service..... Never was, and never will be. And they were not specifically built for anti armour......they were built for combat recce. Anti armour is a secondary(possibility even tertiary) role. |

kikuyu1: The 105 is not used by sandf. We use the 76 and it is used primarily as a recon vehicle and raider. Not anti Armour. |

jln115: That's not how they're being used today. It might have been developed for long range recorn but that's not really possible in the 21st century, warfare has changed. A lone Rooikat inside a fully capable enemy would be dead meat and the SANDF generals new that as soon as the Bush War ended. No one bothered with the 105 Rooikat because in the 90s we were certain that we were getting those 100+ MBT with the Arms Deal. The new MBTs never came, then we would have to supplement the Olifants with something and the Kat is the only thing that can fit the 105 turret without falling on weight. Truth be told, it's highly needed so it be used on flanks in a tank vs tank war. 1 Like |

ActivateKruger: It won't be a lone roikat. It will be at least 5. There mission and role has not changed. The job the 105mm would do in South Africa is done better by the Olyphant and ingwene launchers of the rate and badger. We not excepting the roikat to attack defended positions alone. 1 Like |

I agree fully, the G-7 would fit in perfectly with a Stryker Brigade. That system can also provide direct fire support unlike any of the other options. The modular charge system is still a problem for the US army. Thats why they didn't want to bite the last time. Get the feeling from reading the article that they don't really know what they want though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YAcnYYxKro Frumentum: 1 Like |
