It is a continuation of the thread: 'SADF without the ambargoes".
We have touched on a lot of issues:
US or non US-products
Local production (G5/6, Cheetah)
participation in consortia (Jaguar/Tornado/Typhoon/Leopard II, etc etc)
French vs British
obviously:
Air force, navy and army
It is a bit difficult as the defence spending would not have been there without Apartheid, nor local production to the extent it was done.
So, we have to have a lot of assumptions etc etc. but is it worth trying as a philosophical challenge?
