These old timers, constantly bashing our army, saying "The old one was better!", well DUH, Suid Afrika was at war with everyone, their funding was so high. I don't even think its a quarter of that budget. But if you actually follow these dudes, most wouldn't even say what they say. IF you had to go through the selection process, most wouldn't make it.
We actually fought a war, against the best Cuban, Russians and Angolan troops, for every 1 of us killed we killed 10. 32BN killing ratio were 1/30. This 81mm mortars were fired at 10/min. Show me any weapons/ radar/ Jet or helicopter designed by the SANDF. All our fragrates and submarines are damaged. If the current government can't even stop in-house riots, how effective are the SANDF? How can you train personnel without funding. The e SANDF is not a force to be reckoned with, as their government
Thank you for this positive channel. Otherwise us Mzansi defence cyber troopers were overly flooded with only stories of the good old boys venting their issues of apparent loss of power and prestige. Haak Vrystaat!
Thank you for saving my country against those evading criminals who wanted and are still doing whatever they can to wipe us out of the surface of the Earth. Zimbabwe, Namibia and Angola forces did a tremendous and noble job in D.r.c. I will never forget your contribution.
Very Proud of SANDF keep bringing them home safe. Seems to people don’t know the difference between a fitness training and a strategy ( for a certain scenario) training. Hollywood, video games and obsession with apartheid left a lot of dummies.
Mmmm.....I was trained at 5 SAI in the 80's!!! All intake fresh out of school at 18 years old!!! SANDF of today.....Mmmm...yeah whatever!!! No comprehension of what a Millitary should be.....enough said....
This is a good south african army,stop being keyboard warriors and step into their shoes,show some respect and pride for your country as we all at the end of the day are trying our best
They making alot of noise & this tiny little girl with tiny voice... come SA🇿🇦. I think they should start selecting like soccer only the best no qualifications..cos those guys who doesn't have matric sitting home at can do better than this
@@TheMedicalDemon they then leave the R4 rifle leaning against a wall at a base while the soldier talked at boom gate. how is that guy gona protect anything?
nathan van staden their training and ability to do their roles despite not having the best funding. Definitely not near Navy SEALs funding but our boys get it done with what they have. One of our Special Forces Soldiers took the world's 6th longest sniper kill as far as I know and check on their website as to what they've done in their past
South African army i just wish there were as many white soldiers as there is black soldiers because this country belongs to all of us its our to protect and to keep
Ryan Pluke The reason there are more black soldiers than whites are because of race quotas in the armed forces, not because one group of people are more patriotic than others
I fought in DRC as a Marksman ,I'm a Zimbabwean .. From 1998 to 2002 .. That was real War not this !! We used to have Angolans as our reliable allies !! We defended Kinshasa .. Many men fell but we made it !!
Simba Thomu yeah I’m very interested in this war especially Zimbabwe’s involvement .how were the battles actually fought mostly small contacts or large scale operations with heavy equipment? Also how well trained were the RCD forces and did they have any powerful equipment?Is it true that the majority of The FAC were children?and how did operations vary from Kinshasa to more eastern areas?one more question which group of enemy combatants were the most effective in combat? Thanks
I was with Rooi Baard in 1977-78, he use to bash us on our staal dak with a rig paaljie. I was with 60mm mortars. We hated him until we were on the border, then he was our best friend. Remember Boshoek.
Remarks from ex SAP the training has dropped...how do we rely on standards like this to protect our country and families even from the most basic countries as Zimbabwe and Mozambique.... should we just surrender our country?
@@empire-classfirenationbatt2691 next time don’t waste your breath trying to explain to dummies the difference between fitness training and strategic battle training. Just let them be.
Ek was opgeroep vir diensplig na 5 SAI vir 2 jaar in 1983. Toe join ek die SAAF en doen 12 jaar daar working on the Mirage F1 AZ and Cheetahs. Baie exciting gewees.
@@MuppetJoe were you a constricpt trying to act as a soldier? How many school kids and women and children did you kill in defences of a racist illigitimate goverment? Do tell you. I would be ashamed to have served in sadf militia.
Lelethu Gani Oh yes I remember how we planted bombs in the cities with the express purpose of killing as many woman and children as possible. Oh hang on, no I’m sorry that was your buddies, the ANC . Take a hike with your revisionist history...
@@MuppetJoe wow. You 4got the fact you started killing people marching for freedom for decades before such bombs were planted.? Killing school kids marching for not to be forced to study in afrikaans? Were bombs planted before 1976 kids massarca? You do no military struggle happend after that where kids were force to go to exile and get training? Anc for decades before were in passive resistance and all they got were bullets. You either you are to stupid to understand history or you apartheid propaganda really damaged your head. Talking crap here. Just do a quick check when was mk formed, and when apartheid started. Let alone colonialism is south africa. Stupid
I did my training at 5 SAI and it was absolute hell for 9 months. But it helped me stay alive in Angola.
At least we bring peace in africa.We dont create wars in other countries.what about bokoharam.you must finish it.
Jerry Thabo The SA government wanted to tackle Boko Haram but the Nigerians though they could do that on their own.
All these Rambo's in this comment section probably have 0 battlefield knowledge.
Ask those who came for Air Force training in zim they will tell the right game

I did a long time in the SADF
Standards have dropped
Everything has dropped, standards are one of the many.
Jealous. You must just accept that that ugly, dark and racist era is gone never to return.
That's not so nice as no one can change the truth that sandf is just a joke than sadf
Sit down bud. You were backed by the most powerfull nations in the world and still got your arses handed to you by Angola.
@@patriotenfield3276 ye. Sandf didnt kill school kids and killed its own citizen crying for freedom
Colonel Dixon is truly a great man
They making alot of noise & this tiny little girl with tiny voice... come SA🇿🇦.

South African army i just wish there were as many white soldiers as there is black soldiers because this country belongs to all of us its our to protect and to keep
Ryan Pluke Are you saying us whites don't give a shit about South Africa? Fuck off mate
Ryan Pluke The reason there are more black soldiers than whites are because of race quotas in the armed forces, not because one group of people are more patriotic than others
danieb52 I think you misunderstood Themba, he wishes there were more whites because he wants their skills in the army
Toncor12 Sorry, my comment was directed at someone else who deleted their comment in this thread
danieb52 Oh, okay :) I am impressed a black okey would want more white troops, some of them are clued up
same goes for me JP we need to be ready for the DRC
U can’t they run away at ikela bujumayi
Floppy games

@@maganenchabeleng2351 That why it is such a big mess.
@@antonferreria1905 old soldiers where killing SA blcks that makes them better?
They will not last longer than 5 minutes against the old army of the 1980's.
Yeah, we hear you Apartheid grandpa. Now go to bed.
Because they black?
They could of saved themselves a lot of time, money and energy and got a small group of old timers from Executive Outcomes to do the job properly. 🤔😉🤣
Glad to see the infantry being trained be the Recces and 44th Pathfinders
Ahhh nice to see you again. I can't wait for all of this and eventually joining these same elite units.
Ja nie Fok, I did my time at 5 SAI . It definitely was not like this. Remember Rooi baard. Ja nie Fok.
I remember rooibaard. Staff sargeant oosthuizen. And Jock Harris ? Jocks promises we used to call him. Not the same 5 said anymore.
Gregg Smith it will never be like ur time... Times and commands have changed
I was with Rooi Baard in 1977-78, he use to bash us on our staal dak with a rig paaljie. I was with 60mm mortars. We hated him until we were on the border, then he was our best friend.
Remember Boshoek.
U were trained to victimize unarmed ar
Africans in the townships nothing spcl bout a partheid army
What are you talking about?????? We were fighting against SWAPO terrorist backed by Cuba and the Russians, trying to take Namibia by force.
How can you make such a load noise in combat. I though combat is supposed to be stealthy...... Am I wrong?...... I stand to be corrected please🙏
Remarks from ex SAP the training has dropped...how do we rely on standards like this to protect our country and families even from the most basic countries as Zimbabwe and Mozambique.... should we just surrender our country?
Former police doesn't get to comment on the training of the military... It's drastically different.
@@empire-classfirenationbatt2691 next time don’t waste your breath trying to explain to dummies the difference between fitness training and strategic battle training. Just let them be.
The current South Africas army is a joke. Look out Kenya army's arrival at DRC last week. That's how a real army looks.
THE SELOUS SCOUT MAKE THE HELL IN NANIBIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
too much softies ..... they cant even run , too much voetkooks
Siyabonga Mbatha they are trainees what do you expect?
Mbatha why don't you show them how to do it.
