      One of the best trained army’s in the world at the time. Could’ve taken the Russians head on and won easily. The technology and the strategy was unmatched, yet they couldn’t be supported by NATO knowingly due to apartheid. Still they proved to be one of the best militaries in the world and no one would ever know

    SADF had a very strange form of apartheid, there where no mixed units, but the whites learned very quickly about survival in the hostile African environment from the tribes who lived there for centuries, I know some soldiers from the Kenyan GSU, KDF and KWS, they have learned me so much about survival in Africa, from poaching small animals, repelling mosquitoes, up to slaughtering large game, catching crocodiles with a dead chicken, a giant fish hook, and an electronic winch, and how to defend your camp against large carnivorous animals wit Acacia branches, I always carry atleast 2x20 litres of water and 2x20 litres of fuel in my car, and i always carry my emergency backpack containing a small tool kit, Zippo lighter, KA-BAR knife, leatherman tool, magnesium stick, tie wraps, rope, first aid kit, compass and a flashlight whenever we travel somewhere remote.

    In terms of punch for its size and professionalism I don't think there was much to pick between SADF, IDF or the British Armed forces back in those days all in their own separate ways. But the fact the SADF was mainly a conscript army and what they were called on to do on several occasions really is impressive. The battle of the Lomba river really was a very impressive action.

    • @stateservant
      @stateservant 2 года назад +13

      I do think they are competent, really. But i must say there are a lot to be proven still, since they were fighting incompetent enemies. Just a non political argument, i think the Wehrmacht still has nothing comparable. They achieved a 10 to 1 casualty ratio against Red Army in Kharkov, while the USSR itself achieved 8 to 1 casualty ratio against Japan in Manchuria. All the while IJA achieved 8 to 1 casualty ratio against Britain in Malaya. Of course, there are many factors involved, but you get the point.
      No offense, SADF didn't fight capable opponents. Nor did IDF. But they are really competent, yes. If not, they would have been slaughtered.

    As a Swiss, we all have to serve in the military as we have a militia system in Switzerland. We probably have nothing on these guys as they look though as nails and have some actual combat experience. I was fortunate enough to be assigned to the self propelled artillery (M109 KAWEST). I saw now the G6 Rhino in this video and I was wondering why other countries don't use wheeled howitzers. From what I've learned about the G6, it's very fast, has a very long firing range, is very modern and not expensive. And other howitzers are surely not better armored (except for maybe the German PzH 2000). I honestly would like to try that thing out, looks like a beast.
    Great video by the way. Thanks!

      Probably because geography, and artillery doctrine. You see, G6 is a wheeled artillery that has great performance on flat lands and savannah, which south Africa regions consist of, and could be maintained without needing extensive equipment unlike M109. The SADF, which employed it in the Bush War also pressured mobile tactics to wear down rebels. G6 if I recall are usually used as shoot and scoot vehicle, as to avoid counter-battery and tank rush from both SWAPO and MPLA.
      I think other than geography and doctrine, it was also logistical problem. I mean, if you could import already well established product with robust supply line why you would order something that, at the time, unknown and alien at best? Hope this helps.
