jirre just imagine those things end up in Russian hands

ZA/USA relations would be nuked from orbit

 

[Velskoen]

Why is that?

Blêk "government". You must have noticed.

 

[Sensorei]

Didn't the US just blacklist us for corruption? Surely they wouldn't participate in that corruption themselves

The US obviously don't partake in these shenanigans. They are the home of the Avengers, CNN and all the good guys.

Gafieks.

aah yes. The good old days hey. When POC knew their place otherwise it would get beaten or shot into them.
Good times

Slow learners?

More on topic:
Where will the funding come from. Currently the biggest slice of the defense budget is spent on salaries. We (the taxpayer) are literally paying people to do nothing.

Buy them and sell them Russia for a quick buck.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Buy them and sell them to Afghanistan for a quick buck.

Better idea, buy 1000 Hiluxes with the money.

 

[vaakseun]

I'd buy a few at USD15.7 each. Damn, I'd even buy all of them for that price.

Sounds like a bargain until you have to start figuring out where to store them.

The 'staan doesn't need any more gear. Uncle Joe already donated them their full quota.

is "the boneyard" overflowing with aircraft that the US wants to throw some C130's our way.
or is there some shadowy corruption going here like with the gripens, that parked up on bricks somewhere.

 

[ghaye]

The US can't give us anything newer, going to be too advanced.

 

[Lupus]

Ah yes the usual American trap of...here take these things and then inevitably pay us a sht load to maintain them.

Hence why so many countries go with Russian equipment. It's cheap to buy and it's cheaper to maintain.

Yup cause you may get a real one, or you may get a Larda with a tank skin.

 

[Thugscub]

Unless they are Specter Gunships, won't be much use

Now thats a machine of note.

They can be stripped for spares to keep the other broken units in the air hangars.

Anc gets 12.
11 are sold to Putin cash pocketed.
Last one is left standing on the apron. No wheels or motors.
