I've often wondered a what if scenario regarding an upgrade to the SADF to make it able to project power not only on the ground in South Central to Southern Africa but also the South East Atlantic Ocean and Southwest Indian Ocean as well.

My list is not complete but what I have so far is this:

Army

French AMX-30 tanks to either supplement or replace the Olifants

Air Force

Sepecat Jaguars to replace the Bucs for ground strike and maritime duties.

Navy

Several Type 42 Destroyers
Several Leander Class Frigates
3 nuclear powered attack subs named Audacious, Adventurous, and Astrant

1 Centaur class carrier or hey a real what if Clemenceau class French carrier.

Assuming the UN Resolution of '77 had holes in it to allow procurement, or increased Israeli, Taiwanese, French, W. German military aid.

Just thinking about the what ifs.:D
