| Video Discription | South Africa military most powerful weapons 2021 Since 1912, South African National Defence Force has grown to become one of the best military force in the world. With a population of less than 100,000 it’s ranked among the top 40 mighty militaries. This tremendous growth has been linked to top-notch training, good leadership and powerful weapons. Talking of weapons, let’s look at South Africa armed forces most powerful weapons. 5. T5-52 self-propelled howitzer As the name suggests, T5-52 is a 52 calibre 155mm truck mounted gun. It has a shooting range of over 40 kilometres while using base bleed projectiles which plays a major role in in increasing its range by 20-35%. This makes it one of the most advanced self-propelled artillery in the world. 4. Olifant mk.2 Olifant mk.2 is a predecessor of olifant mk1B which was formally used as the South African defence forces main battle tank. The tank is equivalent to a rank VI British medium tank with its design based on british challenger 2 and French’s Leclerc. According to classified military files, a total 26 mk2’s entered service between 2006 and 2008 but up to date these tanks have never seen battle fronts. However, a number of mk2’s are used for training purposes. 3. Saab gripen c and d. It’s a multirole fighter jet that was engineered in Sweden. South Africa became the first country to procure 26 of these lethal jets in the late 90’s. According to records, more than 271 gripens were produced in 1987. Despite advancement in modern warfare, these jets are still in service but some countries like the United Kingdom use them strictly for training. 2. 209/T1400 submarines. Between 2006 and 2008, three heroine class 209/T1400 submarines were commissioned to serve under the stewardship of South African navy. This led to shelving of old Daphné-class submarines which were made between 1964 and 1975. Out of 25 Daphne submarines that were build, only two were lost. 19 of them had retired as at 2010 while 4 were preserved. 1. denel rooivalk mk.1 it’s a world class attack helicopter that was built to cope with harsh southern African battle ground a place termed as hot, humid and dusty. Between 1990 and 2007, 12 mk.1 were made specifically for south African airforce but the helicopters didn’t enter service until 2011. Since then they have seen combat around the world with the most remarkable being when two rooivalks serving under the united nations force intervention brigade fired FZ 90 70mm FFAR rockets on M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This attack helicopter has been equated to to Russia’s Kamov Ka-50.
