ssaengine: I missed this. I asked you hypocritical South-Africans to say congrats to him, and you are here shedding crocodile tears. Do i look like i need your acceptance or have i ever hidden my disgust for most of you hypocritical South-Africans? Patches689 was well comfortable posting pictures of fighter cockpits, but feels saying "congratulations" to a man making real life thread related achievements is spamming. come on, don't be stupid or delusional..................at least not on this. 4 Likes |

Henry240: Wow you're still on this? No you don't look like you need acceptance, although you do sound particularly stupid. If you had made a group announcement asking why people are silent, fine. But you were basically focusing on Patches & covering it up to pretend as if you're trying to make a valid point. This argument ended as soon as it began. You're free to reply to yourself from here on. I'm done. Cheers. 5 Likes |

US military: 4 US Special forces soldiers wounded in Somalia, treated in Kenya MOGADISHU, Somalia — Four U.S. service members who were wounded in an extremist attack in Somalia that killed one special operations soldier have been treated and discharged, the U.S. military said Saturday. A U.S. Africa Command statement said the four were in the care of the U.S. Embassy medical team in neighboring Kenya. They were awaiting transport “for additional medical evaluation.” The Pentagon said Staff Sgt. Alexander W. Conrad, 26, of Chandler, Arizona, died Friday of injuries sustained from what it called enemy indirect fire. He was assigned to 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The names of those wounded were not released. This was the first public announcement of a U.S. military combat death in Africa since four U.S. service members were killed in a militant ambush in the West African nation of Niger in October. Friday’s attack in Jubaland is likely to put renewed scrutiny on America’s counterterror operations in Africa. U.S. troops with Somali and Kenyan forces came under mortar and small-arms fire and one “partner force member” also was wounded in the attack about 350 kilometers (217 miles) southwest of the capital, Mogadishu, the U.S. military said. link https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/us-military-4-soldiers-wounded-in-somalia-treated-in-kenya/2018/06/09/a62926f8-6c5b-11e8-a335-c4503d041eaf_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f57a8774521f |

Interesting thing people often miss... The importance of "bush-trials". After complete, the Badger re-appeared featuring: - a branch deflector on the turret - re-configured commanders-periscope (it can now move to a position that protects the glass) - removal of front tow-ropes - protection for road lights - massively improved suspension (see vid) 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VRk75lu1pE Running the same track in 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btwQiroaZLI See pics too Apart from some strategic disagreements (my civilian opinions - would prefer to have seen a Ratel Mk2, cheaper) I must say I am quite pleased with how the project has come along. Although it would have been nice to see the ingwe 30mm CAMGUN combo as standard, as well as a dedicated direct-fire fire-support option included in the program (maybe one of the solutions from Cockrill as an off-the-self option) instead of the IMO undergunned 60mm (we have been down this road before) 3 Likes

Added to that, they need a 120mm mortar variant in the mix as well. I suspect that the Ratel 81 will be in service for the duration of the Badger service live. An interesting idea would have been to develop a 81mm turret instead of the 60. Would have been a 80% solution to both the indirect fire and fire support missions. Ad a couple of vehicles to the 81mm battery, so you could swap some in and out of the fire support and Bn. indirect fire roles. As a bonus you have 1 less ammo type in you log. train. Then again, they will probably just use the Rooikat in this role. In that case the SANDF should look at some more midlife upgrades to the ones held in surplus and dedicate them to fire support leaving the rest of the Kat fleet dedicated to the recon/cavalry mission. I'd have fire support Rooikats organic to mech infantry units. IMHO they should have stuck with the 35mm Emak and developed a 50mm supershot round for a fire support vehicle along with Ingwe's mounted to the turret. That would just have required a barrel change. The AP version of the 50mm supershot will take care of any future IFV's and it also has space for guidance electronics as a AA option to take care of drones etc. I've actually never heard a good reason why the SANDF chose to go down the 30mm route when they already had the 35mm ammo in production/inventory. Suspect it was pushed by Denel so they could export 30mm ammo to the miraid of militaries that now use that cal. patches689:

[quote author=kikuyu1 post=68294241][/quote] The Inkunzi (PAW20) has been supplied to the Recces, with plans for the Parabats, but I'm not aware of any immediate plans to supply it to sections in the regulars. A colleague on doctrine development called it a weapon in search of a role, for motorised/regular infantry. The Kurds (fell off the back of a truck ) have been using it well as counter VBIED. On COIN and peace-keeping ops I can see it as a section weapon. I'm far more interested in the Inkunzi Strike - 20mm auto for ground, vehicle, aero, with .50 calibre change for training and exercise. 1 Like |

i do not like Buhari's government very much but can you see how he was recieved in Morrocco? apart from Mandela, no other African leader is received with this much respect anywhere else either in Africa, or the entire world. this shows our place in the grand scheme of things. i heard it was broadcast live on 8 ot their national channels.

Lol, security all around him? Well, he's a visiting head of state, Morocco is responsible for his security, and why are you surprised Morocco showed him such love? We aren't a tiny country, there was a time Washington DC was littered with the Nigerian flag when Shagari visited ( i think it was Shagari) , with Americans waving Nigerian flag and lined up the street just to see him.

I've hear that it can convert to .50. Not to sure if its 12.7x99 NATO as the Inkunzi is 20X42mm. Don't know how they got the action working with a cartridge thats that much longer. It might be a cut down .50cal. The one vid they have on youtube shows what looks like at most 338 brass case ejecting. 12.7mm would make a pretty big fireball coming out out that short barrel. The 20x42 Practice round should be used for training. The more they buy in that cal., the more the unit price goes down. For some reason we only used HE and AP in the Ratels 20mm's for training even though Prac ammo is much less expensive. Forgotten weapons on youtube is working on a vid covering a lot of SA infantry weapons. They did a piece on the Inkuzi that should clear up some of the questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lf8dfVgJgg frumentius: |
