The Mismanagement of the ecoinomy that plagued South Africa during the term of President Jacob Zuma is still having a negative impact on the Economy.

For more than a year now there have been concerns regarding the long term health of Denel. For some time now the company has been in financial distress but what happened over the weekend of September 21st may have a negative impact on the Defense Sector of South Africa as a whole.

During that weekend the company was supposed to make a scheduled delivery of 40 Military Vehicles to Chad. The Vehicles were ordered back in 2017 and the Chadian Government paid R100 Million as a down payment for these vehicles.

The total cost was between R230 Million and R250 Million depending on the source of information that you are using. This amount is a large chunk of money to renege on.

how does this look good? a big block on wheels, how good is this?

I'm sorry Sir, we don't have to agree. I said I like it, you say you don't like it. Please let's just agree on that. No reason to quarrel.

Please how many Proforce APC did the Nigerian army buy?

DICON also enters the MRAP game with the introduction of the Ezegwu MRAP.

"The Ezugwu MRAP was built to even have more features and capabilities compared to that of PROFORCE.
A 12 kg IED Resistance & with total protection to the drive system down to the propeller, double turrets system, 615 WD turbo Diesel engine, 360’ Telescopic long range PTZ camera."

130 units expected.

This is a big boy

It didn't seem to go through any of the explosive and ballistics tests that the NAV-MC vehicle did (at least not publisized) so I have no idea.

Initial order was about 40 if I remember correctly. More orders definitely in the pipeline.

Article kinda doesn't make sense. This thing did not start on the weekend of the the 21st September. The South African and Chad governments have been in discussion about it long before then, this is just when the media picked it up.

And to the rest if your article, there are still many foreign potential partners interested in buying stakes in Denel subsidiaries or partnering on projects.

Drone War in Libya: Wing Long II versus Bayraktar TB2





The ongoing civil war in Libya has enter a new phase, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) are increasingly being used by both sides.

Apparently Denel is about to win its biggest ever export contract. Something to do with the Egyptian Navy....apparently.

Apparently it's a large number of Umkhonto surface to air missiles, and perhaps other stuff. Apparently....
