What I am refering to is the difference between the needs of the
US military and SAF . The US are highly interventionist as shown in
the recent wars in Afganistan,Iraq and probably Iran next. They
have requirement for a light(able to be transported by
C130),versatile(hence the many variants of the Stryker) and with
reasonable fire power(the MGS variant even have a 105mm
gun!).
What the SAF requires is definitely not that, at least not at the
moment(maybe we going for UN peace-keeping missions in future) and
on such massive scale.
Rockhound,you are right,the SAF defends SG by attacking(preemptive
strikes). Which is why i said that the SAF is
largely considered as a defensive force as we are
unlike the Swiss. We only attack preemptively when we are directly
threatened(such as amassing troops at our border).
Therefore I said that maybe the SAF will procure at most a few(not
enough for a few battallions like in US) for the RDF due to
possible future UN missions.Please refer to my original post ,then
you will understand my explanation here.Thanks
