It was the first official mention of the participation by the frigate,"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov," which is armed with Zircon missiles.
On Thursday, the South African National Defence Force said the drills, to run from February 17 to February 27 near the port city of Durban and Richards Bay, aim"to strengthen the already flourishing relations between South Africa, Russia and China." The"Gorshkov" held exercises in the Norwegian Sea this month after President Vladimir Putin sent it to the Atlantic Ocean in a signal to the West that Russia would not back down over the war in Ukraine.
Yeboooooooooooo 🇿🇦🇷🇺✊!!
No wonder, Rhamaphosa are a communist himself.
😂… participate… with what! Do we still even have a Navy.
Nothing wrong with it! Biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas is still the US and Europe. What hypocrisy!
I hope for no tragedy during SA/Russia/China naval exercises. Ou navy is a bit quiet, i must say. I've seen a few very unflattering clips of our army, (there's one where a very overweight female soldier tries to get into an army truck🤪). So, SA Navy, please make us proud.
I foresee our kids speaking Russian in Africa...
'All countries conduct military exercises with friends worldwide. It's the natural course of relations,' Pandor, alongside Lavrov, told reporters in the capital, Pretoria. Having unpopular friends... I say you are 'playing' with fire...
Just for a change SA has been sold out 🤷♂️ cANCer VoetsekANC
What the hell. Ashamed to be South African
Better to stand up in discomfort with your dignity and self respect intact than be seated in comfort with earplugs on and no shame
China go brrrrrra, russia go kapow, south Africa -pelts half bricks at enemy- whatajoke
What SA navy?
NO!!!!
What South African navy? Badly trained incompetents in poorly maintained boats which most of the crew probably do not know the front from the stern and which side is left or right. Laughable
If SA can exercise with terrorist states like the US and NATO, why not an ally that has never colonised, enslave, imperialise and stage coups in Africa? The interests of a few million apartheid beneficiaries in SA will never trounce those of the majority. Get on with the exercise
We're neutral, they say. Yeah, right. The ANC is clearly completely unable to read the room.
Well we do reward criminals so what's new.
Do they have air for our Crazy store rubber duck because I don't think any of our ships is sea worthy
I appreciate that Russia is an ally, but where should one draw the line with regards to moral obligation. They helped end Apartheid by supporting the ANC, but then they proceed to enact the very crimes that they fought against.
'Russian warship, go fuck yourself' was the last communication made on 24 February 2022 during the Russian attack on Snake Island in Ukraine's territorial waters by border guard Roman Hrybov to the Russian missile cruiser Moskva.
Ukraine calling. Could they have gps coordinates please. Needed for …reasons
Wtf is south africa doing ? Only Ramaphosa wants exercises with Russia and china . The rest of South africa want fokol to do with those countries
Europeans in the comment section want to pulls us to NATO. They can go to their unholy alliance with America and leave SA out of it. Russia trained our MK veterans against apartheid regime🔥 they have been good friends since day 1.
Again the whole world goes one way and SA said no we go the opposite way!! But I guess a fail state goes well with the Terrorist state
RET forces conflicted with this one😭😭😭😭
Why can't they help at Eskom they have much tech for tht other than propaganda drills
At least Cyril is doing something productive
Spiraling crime,sewerage spills,no rail transport,saa gone,ridiculous unemployment stats,crumbling health services,corruption,the list is endless!!!
I belive these pople know that a war is brewing hence they're trying to arm south africa as their brics partner.
Why is our government set on pulling ghis country into a world war conflict with Russia and China?r they so dependant on the finance and bribes from them that they cannot have perspective.does south africans really need more problems with our loadshedding,crumbling roads,ect.
PUTIN 2 use Chinese & a tinge of Africans human canon foder against ' ' let's go Brandon ' '
What I don’t understand is Europeans expecting South African to follow them where ever they go,i love n see even much brighter future with Russia n china
Killers and rapists are our friends 😔
So nice to know that we're so easily bought.
Does the SA Navy have any seaworthy ships?
Atleast a positive development by our government. BRICS must rise. Lavrov
mandela is rolling in grave
If any prosperous nation was skeptical as to if SA is a destination for real investment. This should put those concerns to rest by scratching us off the list. Ffs lol
Typical South Africa....consorting with the polecats of the world.
What modern Denel armament will South Africa contribute to the excercises, seeing that the two SOE's are almost on their last legs - WW11 vintage .303 Rifles issued to sailors to repell enemy boarders.
Great!
What NATO need to do is park a aircraft carrier just outside our waters,just in case those commies have other ideas
This is going to be funny
Yo and will our dingies be able to stay afloat 🤔🙄😅😂🤣🛶🤭
