truth is more complex than what we think

Honestly Sanctions are scarier than Chinese dominance.

@Arcade_Hustle i think you are right. iran and russia are battling under sactions. only the boere thrived under it 😃

@Charl We will suffer under sanctions, world is much more global this time around.

Sanctions will be imposed by West. Asia, and others, will not fo;;ow. This will skyrocket prices for ordinary things. Which only the corrupted and rich can affort. The poor will suffer worse.

who remembers this feat? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G5_howitzer

Not surprised as Zim Def Minister Chiwenga informed China of the impending coup against Mugabe.

Off course. Forgot.

Super expensive surface to air

you shoot down F-35 and Global Hawks with those fkn things

Basically warning US to not send drones or spy drones etc...

wonder if this story relates to another story we saw last week https://www.nation.co.ke/news/world/Russian-ship-detained-in-S-Africa-over-weapons-cargo/1068-4726376-30o4nu/index.html

THESE fkn things are in zim, wtf

e-modified !

WTF

for what? no one in africa has decent airforce

or is under threat (cept us white people)

Credibility is pretty low for the source - would be nice if OP can provide an alternate source to back this up. Don't want it to turn into another mess like the claim of camps full of 1M Uighurs.

I would presume this is to defend against possible Western intervention. The base HQ-9 is roughly equivalent to the S-300V; upgraded variants are equivalent to the MIM-104 Patriot PAC-3. Besides the South African air force, there is no air force in the vicinity that would warrant such a grade of air-defense system.

English please Im a girl...
Serious firepower? Used against airplanes?

Maybe it's a warning to the westerners to not intervene in the SA crisis. Otherwise they will be shot down.

@Rox Yeah, they saying the only reason this kind of toys would be deployed is against US/superpower based intervention/recon(huge drones)

The various news articles are all the same source..

Propaganda mebbe?

Russian S-400 is better.

GG @BraaiBroodjie, you just advanced to level 6!

@Rox I dunno, the journo in question seems legit

GG @Arcade_Hustle, you just advanced to level 11!
