Awesome SAF with new capabilities

[Jah_rastafar_I]

Look at this wonderous piece of equipment. It might look like a blimp but it's so awesome

what do you need to pierce the balloon?

 

[sleaguepunter]

that balloon real capabilities are not what was advertised. a blimp also not as expensive to operate and threatening as an AWAC aircraft.

I am so proud of my country.

A fucked up country run by a bunch of fucked up sinkified politicians.

how much it cost to build and maintain the blimp and ground station? no where in the article state the price.

IMHO, it cheaper to operate than the 3 Gulfstreams RSAF brought for the same purpose.

Whatever the price I have to say it is money well spent as the SAF is a prudent organisation that has good systems in place to ensure that the organisation gets the best bang for its buck.

The rope is made of Kevlar and is very hard to cut.

only work in peace time. in war, a salvo of MLRS missiles from our neighbours would render it inoperable.

War renders a lot of weapons inoperable once they are hit and that includes tanks, machine guns, artillery, ships and planes.

The purpose of a well publicised early warning system is to prevent war.

early warning is not that blimp real capability.
