[ponder]

So with the Russian navy now taking their turn to pay us a visit anyone know when or if the ships will visiting Simonstown? Appaerently they will be in CT on the 23.

SA navy will be joining the Chinese & Russian ships in CT for the exercise so maybe they won't dock in simons town.

Oh my God. Someone has flown nuclear capable bombers to South Africa. Again?!
The British had Vulcan bombers here years ago. Heck - they had nuclear weapons in storage at Simonstown.

Are you so stupid that you do not realise he is talking about the helicopter?

IF I may say -- quite an OBTUSE way of saying so ....
ALL helicopters are -- MAJESTIC ...

The Buccaneers and Canberras that the SA Air Force had were nuclear capable, and SA had 6 or 7 nuclear bombs at that time. Whether they were capable of being mounted on those planes I don't know.

Spoiler : "Die rooi gevaar" has been in control of this country for more than 2 decades.

I truly believe MW is physically incapable of typing normally without any weird punctuation or capitalisation, or colours.

I’m sure if he simply tried to type “good morning” it would look like something off the deepest conspiracy theorist website.

During the 1990s, it was revealed that South Africa had manufactured six air-deliverable tactical nuclear weapons between 1978 and 1993. These nuclear weapons, composing of HEU with an estimated explosion yield of 10-18 kilotons, were designed for delivery by either the Buccaneer or the English Electric Canberra bomber.
