Tbh,dedicated AHs are overkill for our BH/AQIS/rebels and various other raggedy rebels but there are anti armour demands in Africa-like I said some nation states especially in our region act like bandits. Fyi,our neighbour Museveni has gone to war at one time or other with the DRC,Rwanda,S Sudan...
Everyone has an opinion-and the rest of the world must all suffer the sound of our expert opinion on boxing,climate change,politics and everything else under the sun. Occasionally however some people make genius decisions that make all competent observers go,"dude,WTF,my son!?"
Case in point...
REALLY!? Look at our map-bordering the Horn where there's always at least 1 LIC running involving militias and proxies.
Some of the national governments are unstable eg Ethiopia or prone to military adventurism like Uganda and have armour regts.
What about Nigeria where BH in technicals...
The story of the Rooivalk tells me you guys are punching above your geopolitical weight shopping this excellent heavyweight gunship around-Malaysians,Turks and even the Brits have all liked it but turned it down-why? Johnny Brit said no when the US refused to share codes that would've allowed it...
Tribute to HK LMGs! These guns are effing fantastic-built off the original G3 they're also closed bolt and share half of all parts. However,they're rare,especially in Africa though in Kenya they're much loved by anyone whose compared with an M60 or 240. Its nearly a whole 5 kg lighter and has a...
Ignore Vergennes;otherwise keep the truth coming! Here's Matteo Salvini explaining what we've all been saying:

Matteo Salvini has accused France of “stealing wealth” from African countries in the latest salvo in the spat between...
I'd like you twice! Jean-Fraude has his 'ex colonies' by the balls. They have first rights to all natural resources according to the Pacte Coloniale,one of the most egregious documents ever conceived. A cuz was in Gabon recently and said they pay France for all buildings built during the...
The Dakar was sunk by the USN in revenge for the USN Liberty the previous year.
According to U.S. intelligence sources, the willful Israeli attack on the National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence collection ship, the USS Liberty, on June 8, 1967, during the Israeli-Arab “Six Day War,” was...
530s are light,low cost and easy to maintain. Ideally,they'd serve as first response for the heavier dedicated gunships like the Hinds and/or129s/Cobras.
I'm really really sorry to hear that! At the same time you guys MUST improve your tax/GDP ratio of only 15% AND ALLOW YOUR GOV GREATER REVENUES FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS! Here in Kenya its 18%,WTF!?

I still rmbr this-6 months later we suffered an identical attack in Garissa and lost 140 uni kids. Many of you recognise false flags but still don't known the tells ie,the identity of hotel/mall owner,mainly Christian/Muslim victims but rarely Jewish:here's the MAJOR TELL.

BOOOOOO!? Lies-smoking has never been shown to cause lung cancer. In fact Prof.Schrauzer,a bio organic chemist told a Congressional Committee in 1982 that "no ingredient of cigarette smoke has been shown to cause cancer and that nobody reproduced cancer in lab animals from tobacco smoke."

Tacticool is KING!
Sir,you're sensible! Due to its 3000$ a pop price,here in Kenya only the Airborne and specops have it. Since you're going for licence building of the winning rifle you may manufacture for the whole PA;its a truly wonderful rifle,versatile,light,powerful and reliable it,but I...
Don't believe everything on the 'net! Our paras and specops use this and have no complaints and having used M4s,G3s and FNs. If its heavy that SEAL Snowflake can take off the scope!
I know not an LMG and shouldn't be used as one but what other 7.62 NATO is as controllable full auto?
That GDP/tax ratio is critical to the 3rd world! Good for you-you're electrification process is on steroids! Right now in Kenya we're at 75% headed for 100% by 2022 and imo you're the only ones ahead of us in this regard. Again;good for you.
Wow! A real live Bren gun! I can't remember the last time I saw one operational anywhere. Even here in Kenya they were retired for 240s in the late 80s IIRC.
