There's no "technical" issues for the F22 not being exported. The production was stopped for political and financial reasons. LockMart and Boeing spent millions on lobbying to have the F-22 production cancelled by congress. This was done ,because the F22 was a threat to F-35 production. The F-35 simply made more money for LockMart than the F-22 and the airforce ordering more F-22's or exporting would seriously threaten the F-35 program which they knew was running onto problems. That's why the F-22 production tooling and jigs were destroyed to make it financially problematic to re-start production. There's simply no other explanation and the lobbying is well documented. Ask yourself why the F15/F16 production line is still open after decades, but the F-22 had all its tooling destroyed by an act of congress. All the congressmen that pushed the legislation were heavily lobbied by LockMart and had F-35 production facilities in their districts. The export ban had the same roots. The US exports far more sensitive tech to the Japanese (who begged for the F-22) than the F-22. They have the latest Aegis and Spy radars on their destroyers for example. nemesis8u: |

Btw,I notice many NA vehicles,soft skin even AFVs and MRAPs lack radios. ![]() ![]() Imo,this basic mission enabler should be prioritised over Tucs,gunships and kinetic systems! In all the NA convoy pix I rarely see radio antennas. Every platoon,dismounted or not must be on call;forget the Leprechaun SINGCCARS and other Gucci kit restricted to SOFs: basic platoon level comms is compulsory. 3 Likes

61mech,frumentius,patches869,jln115 and other Saffas,tell me smth. I was looking at your legacy Casspirs,my fav MRAP after the Marauder and was shocked! Under Project Sepula they and the Mambas were to be replaced with a new vehicle almost a decade ago! Project Vistula will provide 579 9-ton 6x6 and 733 14-ton 8x8 tactical logistics vehicles (and potentially 5-ton 4x4 trucks) for multipurpose roles. The program was also sidelined in 2007, because none of the proposed vehicles fully met specifications. However, the delay was likely in part due to the lack of funding available from the SA Army.https://www.forecastinternational.com/news/index.cfm?recno=233097 Obviously engineering and human resource aren't the issue since every Saffa and his neighbour design a brand new MRAP from scatch in their spare time as we've seen on these pages. Further googling showed a host of postponed and/or delayed projects,Hotel for a new Hydrographic survey ship,Metsie for new MPAs,Vistula for new trucks etc,etc.[b] RSA isn't Kenya or any other Africa country-you have the funds! Funds aren't the issue-WHAT THE ACTUAL EFF!? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by 61mech: 12:27pm On Jul 24, 2019 |
Its about funds. All SANDF equipment procurement is being held up by this. SANDF budged is mostly spent on a "officer heavy" salary burden. Its to a large extent been a retirement fund for former cadres from the liberation movement. I'm generalising here of course. There are many capable soldiers and officers from those ranks, but there are also a lot of unnecessary high ranking personnel that would have been retrenched if it was run like a business. We have more generals per soldier than any other country I know of, because of this. The average age of a rifleman in the SANDF is also ridiculously high. Almost in the mid 30's. This situation will not change until there is major restructuring and forced retirements. This leaves very little money left over for training an equipment. Fortunately the vehicles they do have were built for African conditions, so they can make them last to make up for this. Unfortunately the ones who suffer the consequences of this are the hard working and dedicated combat units who are actually doing the soldiering work. kikuyu1: 1 Like |

61mech: Sometimes I think you guys forget with an average per capita GDP of 6300$,an experienced first world scientific, commercial and engineering cadre and a total budget resembling that of a second world country you can do better than spending some 4$bn for roughly 100K which is 1.5% of GDP. Imo,.the real issue,is the real string pullers,the faceless ones behind the scenes of your politics-THEY DON'T WANT A WELL EQUIPPED SANDF. These guys have their own plans for RSA which may even include balkanisation as a Western diplomat actually admitted to Eeben Barlow. Good googly moogly! I heard smth similar a decade ago and dismissed it as anti ANC BS. The saddest thing is if you can't pull your weight you'll never meet your continental obligations leaving us all worse off. |
