Are you South African?

I am not so sure about the military over-all, but I can say with confidence that our Special Forces guys are a force to be reckoned with... our special forces are nicknamed "RECCES"... google that to learn more.

@iMystery why did your government retire the atlas cheetah fighter

@Aliengel Bro that has been at the center of much debate... I have no idea what went into that decision making process, but the cheetah was replaced by the Saab Gripen, though that and other factors have resulted in pilots not being able to properly operate the Gripens as they do not have the required flying time/training to effectively do so.

You actually just reminded me of that article I read quite while ago.
