Namibian Marines received Russian weapons

The Namibian Marine Corps recently received from Russia a rather wide range of rifle weapons.

12,7-mm Kord machinegun, AK-103 / 105 submachine guns, SVD-S rifles, Vityaz-SN submachine guns, Pecheneg and RPK-74M machine guns, AGS grenade launchers, etc. were among the samples received.

The Namibian Marine Corps was established at 2004, with Brazilian specialists involved in its training. In total, the MP has about 1200 people.

The main task of the Marines is to "assist in the protection of the long and mostly uninhabited coast of Namibia, as well as the protection of military naval facilities and ports."

It would be better to supply boats with powerful engines or lightly armored boats, as smugglers and pirates take advantage of the paucity and backwardness of the Namibian coast guard, and the Namibians have had AK and their ilk since Soviet times and they will still fight.

the fact that better weapons can be obtained from Russia now probably plays a role

At least one kimberlite pipe was given to us for development. There is something to pay. In South Africa, diamonds and gems are very notable.

I know. I will not discuss the topic of stones, because our emerald, for example, is not recognized by some jewelers in the world as an emerald. Roughly speaking, they prefer larger and brighter Colombian ones. As for diamond, in principle it is always in demand.

There are diamonds, but not about our honor, we have a crisis and strained money.

[Orionvit]

You guys are talking about this at all. Namibia for a long time, was occupied by South Africa, and if the troops left, then multinational corporations remained. In addition to diamonds, there is also gold and uranium. Now DeBeers and the rest have dispersed and gave Russia the right to develop minerals. Russia has enough of its own. On the other hand, what kind of news? 1200 steep Namibian marines per port and 1500 km of uninhabited coast. This is 1200 submachine guns, two dozen machine guns, and the rest on the little things. The contract is nothing, I would even say a penny. But some of the members of the forum already demand from Namibia the right to develop subsoil. There is a contract for two dozen trucks with bananas.

not a fact ... well, forgive me if that ...

[firefighter]

removed from the tongue. Although we can and on credit - at the expense of the future harvest of bananas and the opportunity to use their coast.

Boats and boats, better than ours, are most likely purchased from other reporters with reputation.

And the Namibians with spears and bows on them will protect their shore?

Yes, there are, old and worn. There is nothing eternal.

[Mountain shooter]

Protect the Skeleton Coast? Where are the diamonds lying on the shore?

And I'm not very good, what kind of men are they, that for the sake of "toys" the babs have undressed their own ... The costumes themselves have not been sold.

Did they pay the money?

do they have them? poverty ... on the "bank transfer" again ride.

Something I do not remember such a country as a friend of the USSR. Expand our collaboration? It's good. First, weapons, then other matters will come.

And it, while the country was not - until 1988 it was "territory occupied by South Africa", in which partisan detachments (more precisely, DRG) SWAPO stuffed © on patrols, bases and cowed © South Africa, and the same small detachments of South Africa hunted for SWAPO men.
Supported by SWAPO Angola (which provided its territory under the base), Cuba and the USSR (trained by SWAPO in the 165th CA).

Not a fig yourself, you even know the number of CA.
Well, if you taught, it means friends.

Few weapons have been sold and that's a good thing 'our factories should work!

Now I will sleep peacefully, the western part of Africa, in good hands.

cannibals not?

[3officer]

Again these stereotypes! Namibia is not Uganda with some Guinea! The program of "decanibalization" has been successfully operating in the country for several years now, and even human sacrifice has become a rarity. They already have a visa-free regime with Zimbabwe, and that says a lot!

It seems there is not

[masiya]

Yes, the point is not in naked women, but because in the landscape of European streets it looks unusual ...

[pofigisst74]

Gave it again?

[3officer]

Yeah .. if before the Namibian marines had no weapons and only the coast was uninhabited .. now it is worthwhile to beware of the residents of the rest of the country.

But they can hardly find Russia on the map. Too far.

It seemed to me that they themselves would not find themselves on the map, not to mention Russia.

[Verdun]

The fact that we are selling weapons is not bad. But here is the rest of the information in the news ... Marine Corps - Namibian, small arms - Russian, specialists - Brazilian ... He also has a salad. At the same time, the number of marines is 1200 people, and the length of the coastline of Namibia is 1572 km. Less than 0,77 marines per kilometer. Border is locked tight?

In Angola, Russians are still well treated, this is one of the few countries where the assistance of the USSR has not been forgotten. Moreover, ours really fought there, and they still remember in Angola. Only the Russian government scratches turnips, and does not use the opportunity to gain a foothold in southern Africa.
