Only 6 functioning aircraft left. I think at this point even Zimbabwe can successfully invade us with 5 pickup trucks of freedom fighters armed with ketties.

That's what boundless corruption gets you.

Two of the three subs are not operational and needs servicing and repairs - but smehow nothing has been done for 2 years about it,


The army is comparatively as poor as the armies of Germany, Frnace and the UK combined are.

Imagine having to fly an aircraft maintained by the SA Airforce.


Not even Maverick would survive.

Apparently, most of the functioning aircraft have had their steering wheels removed to make space for carrying more passengers than the maximum limit allows.


Although, even Maverick wouldn’t be caught dead flying with a monkey wrench instead of a steering wheel, let alone doing a flyby.

At least the planes were made before the U.S. kill switch was invented, so I suppose there’s that...
