🎖🇿🇦 Private-sector company has kept South Africa in global UAV race South African private-sector defence group Milkor has kept South Africa in the global top ten of larger uncrewed aerial vehicle- (UAV-) producing countries through its development of the Milkor 380 medium altitude, long-endurance (MALE) UAV. Milkor entirely financed the development of the Milkor 380 itself, and is currently producing the first batch of these aircraft, which are the largest UAVs (popularly called drones) ever developed in South Africa. This team has developed the Milkor 380’s airframe, avionics, communications systems, wiring looms – basically every piece of hardware needed to make the UAV – in-house. They also wrote all the requisite software. Only the payloads (sensors and, if required, weapons) and, as previously mentioned, the engine, are sourced from outside the company. “Because we developed our own software, we can integrate sensors from any third-party supplier,” he points out. “We also developed our own ground control station and line-of-sight communications system, with a range of 250 km, for the UAV. But a satellite communications module is built into the UAV, allowing communications and control over much longer ranges.” The Milkor 380 is primarily intended for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, maritime surveillance, and border surveillance, missions. In such roles, it has a maximum range of more than 2 000 km and a maximum endurance of 35 hours. It can carry 515 kg of fuel and a payload of up to 220 kg. The payload weight can be increased by reducing the fuel load. Maximum speed is 250 km/h, while cruise speed is from 110 km/h to 150 km/h. Maximum altitude is 30 000 ft (9 144 m), while maximum operating altitude (determined by sensor performance) is 23 000 ft (7 010 m). Normal operating altitude is from 15 000 ft (4 572 m) to 18 000 ft (5 486 m). But the Milkor 380 can also be fitted with weapons and operated in the strike role. As weapons payloads are generally heavier than sensor payloads, operating it in this manner reduces its range and endurance. Further, Du Plessis cautions, it, like all other MALE UAVs, is vulnerable to modern shoulder-fired surface to air missiles, and so is not meant to be exposed directly to hostile forces in high-intensity conflict. In such conflicts, it should be used only in support roles. However, in low-intensity conflicts, such as currently are the pattern in Africa, the UAV, in the armed role, can provide invaluable cover for troops on the ground. https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/private-sector-company-has-kept-south-africa-in-global-uav-race-2024-09-13

🇿🇦In South Africa, two women were killed and fed to pigs In South Africa, two women were killed and fed to pigs because they tried to steal expired dairy products from a farm in the northern province of Limpopo. The farm owner and manager were charged with premeditated murder, and a worker was also tried for possession of an unlicensed firearm. The incident has sparked outrage across the country, where abuse and underpayment of farm workers is widespread. #SouthAfrica @africaintel

Hello all Thank you to all the subs we've gained so far. We have been managing this unofficial channel for Kaaplander since he restarted his Youtube Channel. We have now offered to reliquish control of the channel to Kaaplander so it can be adminned by him personally as his official Telegram channel. To align more with what Kaaplander wants this channel to be some posts have been altered or removed. There will still be memes but the channel will now be more closely focused on South African and other African news as well as some geopolitical stuff in general. Kaaplander: Looking forward to using a Telegram channel again to post news and share thoughts about topics concerning Boere as well as issues relating to the wider white community in other countries. I will try to be concise rather than cryptid in my messaging, and I will encourage working together rather than burning bridges. Special thanks to associated channels: https://t.me/SouthAfricaReports https://t.me/ZA_future_of_the_West https://t.me/sanu_za https://t.me/BittereindersZA https://t.me/CIG_telegram -for keeping this giant network of information and communication alive and assisting each other with making sure all our subscribers have access to useful knowledge and news. Some fun and interesting times ahead, this is only the beginning! @saffercentral2

🇿🇦🇦🇺 South Africa's company to start mining copper in Australia by 2028 Harmony Gold is targeting its first copper production from the Eva Copper project in Queensland, Australia, by 2028. Alongside this, Harmony has reported a 132% surge in headline earnings, with a record 12.7 billion rand ($715.2 million) in operating free cash flows. Despite this financial success and the announcement of a dividend increase, the company’s stock dipped due to forecasts of lower gold output for the coming year. However, Harmony remains bullish on its long-term plans, with copper and its core gold operations, such as Moab Khotsong and Mponeng mines, leading the charge. #SouthAfrica #Australia @africaintel

🇨🇳 🇿🇼 Chinese fight in Southern African Anti-Poaching units. In recent years, the Chinese government has reinforced wildlife protection laws, launched major biodiversity conservation projects, banned the trade of ivory, and taken a strong stance against the illegal trade of wildlife products like elephant and rhino parts. China has also been proactive in international wildlife protection cooperation, signing agreements with African nations such as South Africa and Kenya. Chinese volunteers worked hand in glove with local rangers almost daily and took part in patrols. During this process, they tried to teach rangers to use various advanced equipment such as night-vision devices and thermal cameras.

"Did you know African elephants can walk without making any sound? Once while we were focused on testing our equipment, we suddenly felt something unusual behind us, and then turned around with terrified faces as the giant creature, around five meters tall, stood just two to three meters away from us,"
