one of the later improvements is the ability to add additional targets and prioritise based on closer to target. that priority can be choosen by the systems officer in flight.
I have discussed this with him, he knows it is dead and many of his colleagues are working in the UAE.
Actually a lot have moved to Aerosud. Some of the munition specialists went over to UAE. A couple went to KSA. However CSIR still remains where a lot of work either from UAE or KSA still gets done and testing is done here.

Is RSA still developing anything for PAF or is that over? Denel Dynamics is klaar but there are others that will rise from its ashes.

A company called Incomar is interesting, seems they took a lot of Denel Dyanmics engineers as well. ANC is the one that caused the demise of Denel, but the South African defense industry was unsustainable imo after the Apartheid and the war in Angola ended.

South Africa is an underrated country that you can gain a lot from, it is like ex Soviet states like Ukraine that have a lot of underutilized technologies from the Soviet era.

RSA is not developing anything for Pak. Pak lost every opportunity to engage and take next steps; my thoughts are well known on multiple fronts.

Not correct InComar has been run independently for a long time; they run an entire instrumentation, callibration, testing process which many players use.

I forsee our independent players taking a huge role as they know how to step the game up. Plenty of orders already from central asian countries.

In a way it is good; i worked at pre-Reutech; it was excellent. Some of my colleagues went off on their own - in Namibia established a mil spec player for comms; other stayed back and worked on Namibian mineproof vehicles. The failure of ANC to capitalise - letting dogs like Zuma and Guptas who killed entire departments by stealing left right. They should have been buried in the ground and keys thrown away. Sorry pals, i have severe hatred of these indians and ANC for what they have done plus the chinese who collaborated with them on massive ponzie schemes.

PAF why didn't you take this option? :hitwall::hitwall:


The reason for lowering Raptor III's weight to under 1 ton (Raptor II is 1,2 tons) is that it will dramatically open up their potential to fit and therefore ability to sell it onto many other aircraft types (it sounded like there were other/new interested parties).

It could have been a perfect SOW for JF-17s and Mirages

At that time priority was shifted to RAAD program.
 
After these mirages are retired are they going to be put in a storage or something so when war happens we can use them?

Maybe some will be kept in reserve but it’s unlikely, by the time they are retired they will be at the very very end of their fuselages life cycles, flying them would be a risk.
