FACTUAL ATTEMPT TO RESPOND TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE OPERATIONS VIDEO USING OFFICIAL STATISTICS (which appeared on page 56)

South Africa population 51 million
Licensed Gun Owners 1.8 million pieces
ILLICT GUNS in circulation 4.1 million piece
TOTAL GUNS IN CIRCULATION 5.9 MILLION pieces
Rate of Civilian Firearm Possession per 100 Population - 12.7
Number of Privately Owned Firearms - World Ranking - 17 out of 178 countries
Rate of Privately Owned Firearms per 100 Population World Ranking - 50 out of 178
countries.

Gun Homicides - 11,134 (1994) out of 26,000 homicides,... 8,319 out of 18,487 homicides (2007).
From 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010, ....107 SAPS (police) officers died while on duty

http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/south-africa

2011/12 - murder - 15,609 murders ........... ( Malaysia Jan-June 2012 - 291 cases )
2012/13 - murder - 16,259 murders ........... ( Malaysia Jan-June 2013 - 322 cases )
2011/12 - Attempted murder - 14,859
2012/13 - Attempted murder -16,363, an increase of 10.1%
( South African statistics for 2011 -2013 show the murder index not sure if it all inclusive ie. to include Homicides as well or just exclusive to murder but looking at their statistics from previous years ...only murder and does not include other homicides which would increase figure very conservatively by xxx times).


South Africa’s murder rate is therefore about FOUR AND THE HALF TIMES HIGHER than the GLOBAL AVERAGE of 6.9 murders per 100 000.(WITHOUT THE xxx FIGURE )

(http://www.africacheck.org/reports/factsheet-south-africas-official-crime-statistics-for-201213/#sthash.BVFQuttR.dpuf )


Malaysia Population 30 million

TO RECAP:-

SOUTH AFRICA
Incidents of murder increased from 15,609 murders in 2011/12 to 16,259 murders in 2012/13. Attempted murder cases increased from 14,859 to 16,363, an increase of 10.1%.

From 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010, ....107 SAPS (police) officers died while on duty.
THAT IS LESS THAN ONE YEARS OFFICIAL STATISTIC !


MALAYSIA
Gun Homicides - 41 (1995) out of 396 homicides , 64 out of 604 homicides (2006)
- ( could not get latest but historically around that range)
From 2000 to date number of policemen killed in gun related violence - 5 people
FIGURE SLIGHTLY HIGHER I THINK BUT LESS THAN 10 PEOPLE ...IN ...13 YEARS ! (Not including Lahad Datu )

ONE LIFE LOST IS ONE LIFE TOO MANY AND I HATE TO LIST A HUMAN BEING AS A MERE STATISTIC !


2013 OFFICIAL STATISTICS....CRIME RATE DROPPED IN 2013 !

Of this figure, robbery (including gang robbery) with firearms also increased, from 69 cases to 74.

Murders rose from 291 cases in the first six months of 2012 to 322 cases in 2013. THE FIGURES LISTED ARE FOR ALL MURDERS NOT ONLY BY FIRE ARMS.
( Gun Homicides - 41 (1995) out of 396 homicides , 64 out of 604 homicides (2006) so once again the muder rate still hovers at the historical region ! factoring in population growth)


Indexed crime for the period of January-June 2012 totaled 76,247 reported cases. THIS DROPPED by 2,120 cases to 74,127 in 2013.

http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2013...statistics.aspx



SOLILOQUY.....pray tell are there any reason/s why SOP should not be followed ....apart from it being the LAW !

Malaysia is still a relatively VERY SAFE country to live in in comparison with other countries per size and population the statistics show so. This is thanks to our strict gun laws which I totally support, our boys in blue as well as the military and all other unsung forward units.

HOW EFFECTIVE ? THE STATISTICS SHOW SO !!!.... MINUS THE SPIN and EXPEDIENCY !

RMN Churns Out First Batch Of Locally-trained Submarine Crew

KOTA KINABALU, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has made history by churning out 22 expert and skilled manpower, including a qualified officer, who are locally trained to handle its two Scorpene submarines.

The pioneering manpower of the submarine comprised 15 crewmen with basic skills, who obtained the Submarine Qualification Certificate (SKKS) while seven of the officers and personnel were upgraded to expert level.

RMN chief Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar said they were trained using the expertise of local trainers and training facilities, other than teaching manpower from NAVCO (company which develops education training at Submarine Force Base from France) for three years, ending 2015.

"I am happy and proud they have been picked to become the first batch to be trained in the country, and generally, they are highly determined to shoulder the task of ensuring the continuity of the RMN submarine service," he said.

He was speaking to reporters after the completion of a ceremony on the wearing of the Submarine Expertise Insignia and awarding of the SKKS, in conjunction with the RMN Submarine Force Base Management Audit parade at the KD Sri Kinabalu parade ground, Kota Kinabalu RMN Base, Sepanggar near here Thursday.

Abdul Aziz said Level 1 SKKS was required for an RMN officer and personnel to man a submarine, according to their respective levels of expertise while Level 2 involved supervisor, Level 3, head of department and Level 4, commanding officer.

He said competency tests were also carried out on a schedular basis to ensure the level of knowledge and competency of the crewman of a submarine was at optimum level.

"To become a submariner, a trainee will undergo the Submarine Science Application Course (SSAC) at KD Pelandok for four months to revise subjects such as Science, Mathematics, Engineering and English in preparation to attend the Submarine Specialisation Course (KKKS).

"After passing SSAC, the trainee would attend KKKS at the Submarine Training Centre (PLKS) between 18 to 24 months encompassing the module Submarine Foundation Training and Scorpene Specific Training modules and on the job training on submarines," he said.

According to Abdul Aziz, PLKS at the RMN base here was equipped with a training simulator and was the first training centre in the world to provide training in handling the Scorpene submarine since April 2011.

"Prior to this, we used training expertise from Germany, France, Australia, Pakistan and Sweden. Also, we still have two technical and operations advisers from the French Navy," he said.

In the meantime, RMN will continue to train more experts and skilled personnel to handle the submarine as it requires at least a crew of 31 and a commanding officer to operate a submarine.

The Kota Kinabalu RMN Base currently houses two French-made Scorpene submarines costing RM7.3 billion.

They are the KD Tunku Abdul Rahman and KD Tun Razak.

Each submarine is 67.56 metres long, 6.2 metres wide, has a crew of 32 and capable of operating for 45 days submerged.

Poland to buy 116 Leopard 2s from Germany

Remigiusz Wilk, Warsaw - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
30 October 2013
 
Poland is planning to purchase 116 Leopard 2 main battle tanks (MBTs) from Germany and expects to sign a contract for them in November, Polish Minister of Defence Tomasz Siemoniak stated on 29 October.

The total cost of the MBTs and other vehicles is estimated at around EUR200 million (USD275.4 million) and is intended to equip a second armoured brigade with the Leopard 2.

In total, the Polish Land Forces plan to buy 105 Leopard 2A5 and nine older Leopard 2A4 MBTs from ex-German stocks. These will equip the two battalions of the 34th Armoured Cavalry Brigade, based in Zagan, which forms a part of the 11th Armoured Cavalry Division ('The Black Division').

Poland already operates the Leopard 2A4, having purchased 128 ex-German examples in 2002. Of these, 116 are currently in service in the 11th Armoured Cavalry Division's 10th Armoured Cavalry Brigade, based in Swietoszow, with the remaining 12 tanks used for training purposes.

The planned purchase will cover the complete vehicle set for the 34th Cavalry Brigade, including M113 vehicles in command, carrier, and ambulance configurations; Leopard 1-based armoured recovery vehicles (ARVs) and armoured vehicle-launched bridges (AVLBs); trucks; and light all-terrain vehicles.

"We are still talking with our German partner, but I think that November is a real date, when all the agreements will be set," Siemoniak stated. He added that he met with German Defence Minister Thomas de Maiziere in Brussels during the North Atlantic Council forum from 22-23 October, with his German counterpart confirming an agreement will be concluded in November.

Siemoniak added, however, that Poland is not the only country interested in purchasing Germany's spare Leopard 2A5 MBTs. "There is big competition in the world for this tank batch, because those Leopards are modern, well-maintained with good condition," he said.

Along with the purchase of a second batch of Leopard 2 tanks, Poland also plans to create a new logistic system for the vehicles.

Siemoniak also confirmed that the second agreement with Jelcz-Komponenty for 866 high-mobility medium-capacity transport 4x4s is planned to take place in November. The new 4x4 is intended to replace Poland's ageing fleet of Star 266 6x6 trucks.

Meanwhile, on 30 October the Polish Armament Inspectorate announced a tender for the modernisation of its current 128 Leopard 2A4 tanks to a new standard called 'Leopard 2PL'. This new standard will incorporate two slightly different variants, named '2PL Standard' and '2PL Extended'. Poland has assigned a budget of around EUR480 million for the upgrade programme.

The tender aims to return the first upgraded Leopard 2PL to the Polish Armed Forces by 28 October 2014, with all 128 MBTs upgraded by 29 October 2019. The price will account for 75% of the tender evaluation, with the offered warrant period weighted at 20%, and 5% on timeliness. Potential bidders are required to have conducted at least EUR240 million worth of armoured vehicle modernisation, repair, and manufacture in the last three years.

Brazil spied on US, Russia, Iran, Iraq




Agence France-PresseNovember 4, 2013 11:33



Brazil kept tabs on rooms rented by the US embassy in Brasilia, which the Brazilian Intelligence Agency believed acted as a hi-tech base for espionage operations : report.


Brazil, which hotly denounced US surveillance of its leaders, itself spied on US officials as well as on Russia, Iran and Iraq a decade ago, the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported on Monday.

The paper indicated it had access to a document from the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, ABIN, describing surveillance operations from 2003 and 2004, during the first mandate of former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Brazil kept tabs on rooms rented by the US embassy in Brasilia, which ABIN believed acted as a hi-tech base for espionage operations, the document showed.

ABIN concluded that the rooms housed computers and communications devices. Responding to Folha, the US embassy denied espionage activities took place in the building, saying only day-to-day equipment, such as walkie-talkies, were stored there.

Brasilia also spied on Russian military personnel involved in negotiations for military equipment, as well as on Moscow's former consul general in Rio, Anatoly Kashuba.

And ABIN monitored Iran's then-ambassador to Cuba, Seyed Davood Mohseni Salehi Monfared, when he visited Brazil between April 9-14, 2004, and spied on Iraq's embassy, shortly after the 2003 US-led invasion of the country.

The Brazilian surveillance was on a far more modest scale than that carried out by the US National Security Agency (NSA), which monitored millions of high-level Brazilian communications, according to documents leaked by fugitive former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

The Snowden documents show NSA monitoring stretched all the way up to the phone calls of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff as well as at state oil giant Petrobras.

Rousseff condemned the NSA monitoring in an address last month to the United Nations and also broke off a scheduled visit to Washington in protest. Brazil says it hopes to interview Snowden, currently in exile in Russia.

On Monday, Rousseff's office responded to Folha's report by stating the surveillance in question comprised "counter-intelligence operations " undertaken a decade ago.

" The operations in question (took place) in accordance with Brazilian legislation pertaining to the protection of the national interest.

" As Folha preferred not to send copies of the documents obtained, the Institutional Security Cabinet (GSI) could not verify their authenticity, " the presidential office stated, adding publication of classified documents was a criminal offense and would be punished.

Folha said it had interviewed several former intelligence officials, agents and military in order to confirm the authenticity of the document in its possession.

Hypersonic Successor to Legendary SR-71 Blackbird Spy Plane Unveiled




BY JASON PAUR 11.01.13




user posted image

Lockheed Martin SR-72



Lockheed Martin’s famed Skunk Works has finally unveiled the long-awaited successor to the SR-71 Blackbird. Aviation Week and Space Technology’s Guy Norris pulled the covers off the project that Lockheed Martin is simply calling the SR-72. The new airplane will be roughly the same size as the record-setting Blackbird, but will be able to fly twice as fast as the jet that still holds the speed records.

The new spy plane will be capable of Mach 6 cruise speeds, making it the first hypersonic aircraft to enter service should it be produced. Only the rocket-powered North American X-15 was able to regularly fly those speeds, and the three examples built were used for research. The SR-71 Blackbird is legendary in aviation circles for its Mach 3 capabilities, and different iterations served as a spy plane for 35 years until its retirement in 1998. It still holds several records, including a flight from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. in 64 minutes, 20 seconds.

The new SR-72 has long been rumored and debated, and is part of the U.S. Air Force’s plan for hypersonic capabilities that will allow fast reaction for gathering intelligence around the world. A Mach 6 airplane fills the gap between current surveillance aircraft that can loiter for long periods of time, but don’t have the ability to transit to a new area quickly.

The SR-72 is also expected to have optional strike capabilities, according to Aviation Week.


The key to the new airplane, as it was with the SR-71, will be the engines. Lockheed Martin told Aviation Week the company has been working with Aerojet Rocketdyne to build an air breathing engine that combines both a traditional turbine and a scramjet to deliver the Mach 6 performance.

Normal turbine jet engines have problems operating at speeds beyond Mach 2. The original SR-71 used a complicated system of a movable nose cone on the engine, along with vents that prevented shockwaves from interfering with the flow, and slowed the air down enough so that it could be ingested by the engine. Though “ unstarts ” were a regular problem for Blackbird pilots, and caused problems throughout the life of the airplane.

The new SR-72 will use a turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) that will employ the turbine engine at lower speeds, and use a scramjet at higher speeds. A scramjet engine is designed to operate at hypersonic velocities by compressing the air through a carefully designed inlet, but needs to be traveling supersonic before it is practical to begin with. So far research projects from NASA, the Air Force and other Pentagon entities have not been able to solve the problem of transitioning from the subsonic flight regime, through hypersonic flight with a single aircraft.

Lockheed Martin told Aviation Week it has found a way to use existing turbine engines, and by lowering the operating speed of the scramjet, make a transition to hypersonic speeds possible.

The aerospace company says it may have a scaled demonstrator of the SR-72 technology flying by 2023. That airplane would be smaller, about the size of the current F-22 fighter and would be optionally piloted. The SR-72 could enter service by 2030.
