Chief SA Air Force Retreat Parade

[@midnightteapot5633]

Those presentation daggers are of a different design to the ones that were worn for many years by officers on parades or special occasions, I do not see any being worn here, are they still in use or have they been phased out?

[@LindoMtsweni]

What a Beautiful Send-Off!Salute!🇿🇦🙏💓

[@armablign]

3:08 I'm super confused, was not aware that this helicopter was in our arsenal, or is it not? It looks similar to a Mi-26 mixed with a Mi-24, , is that ours? or was it another nation's who was attending?

[@kamvabotya3895]

All aircraft here are south African

[@armablign]

@@kamvabotya3895 Are you sure? What helicopter is that, that is displayed at 3:08? I can't find anything online regarding anything that looks similar that, in our arsenals..

[@EmmanuelTshuma]

@@armablign It's an early variant of the Mil Mi24. That ceremony took place at the air force museum, so it's likely a captured aircraft either from Angolan forces or Cuban.

[@lelethugani6757]

No army display in public what arsenal they have.. it might be ours but we didnt know about it. It looks like its in good condition to be an museam bird

[@armablign]

@@EmmanuelTshuma That makes more sense, Thank you for the comment!

It is Captured Angolan/ Cuban Mi24AV. The only MI24 Hind we have in the Arsenal is the MI24 Super Hind MKV ETA, which is a Upgraded Mi24 with South African Tech.
