    Guys I have what I managed to tape (was early sunday morning and i had been on the cans the night before) which is about 10-15 mins of doco on them, including a few shootings as seen in the pics.

    The problem is, I have NFI how to take the video off the DVD I have of it, let alone post it.

    It's taken me 3 years to work out how to post images....I'm yet to work out how to post in italics or bold etc so don't expect it anytime soon.

    Perhaps you mean KOEVOET?

    Oops, posted this before I saw your screenshots of the TV documentary. Not KOEVOET, more like Scorpions, or Flying Squad. I also saw that prog on TV in Germany. A very good documentary that shows the world that you don't really want to be a cop in the new South Africa.

    Last I heard was that the SANDF was interested in it but didnt make the purchase yet, maybe somebody around here knows more. And I'm looking forward to the footage, BiZ, if you can make it work.

    I read about that in a Magazine.The G-7 is suppose to be the farthest ranged 105mm in existance and can carry the same amount of explosives as a 155mm shell!

    Out of what I’ve read it doesn’t have the same amount of explosive but uses controlled fragmentation and super rapid fuse. Both lead to an area of lethality equal or superior to a 155mm shell. The Ruag MAPAM mortar round is based on the same technologies.

    The range is reached by using the same type of propellant charges as the 155 NATO rounds but reduced to fit in the 105mm calibre. The disadvantage of this system is to introduce a new standard which is not compatible with other 105mm guns.

    Great video! I have always been a fan of the South African Armed Forces.
    Very well equipped and well lead.

    They truly are a wonderful force.

    Keep it up Nordwind
