    The autocannon used on the Rooivalk is the single barrel Denel Land Systems GI-2 20x139. The one in the video appears to be the 3 barrel General Dynamics M197 20x102.

    America ensured that any sales of the Rooivalk failed to countries who were interested as they were threatened with economic and political ramifications if they buy anything but the Apache. France ensured also that the Rooivalk failed by indicating to potential customers that they will not supply or support the makila engines as used by the Rooivalk as they was pushing the sales of the Eurocopter Tiger. All in all South Africa did not have the muscle to push the sales and the only countries interested were either China who only was interested to buy one example to serve as a template to build a carbon copy of the Rooivalk or countries not politically acceptable to South Africa or countries that were to poor to buy.

      I agree with you there. There was a brilliant opportunity squandered on this one. Looking at the fact that the first flight was in 1990, and only incorporated into SAAF in 1999, that 9 years could have made a huge difference. A world wide stage was presented in 1994, with the election, the world was watching South Africa, with just this instance, they could have been used it to highlight to possibilities of this machine, gotten more eyes onto it. Hey...but it too late now.

      This is so true. The other thing that we see is that when someone does go and fix something, it is not a lasting fix, a month or so down the line that same place is affected, which also shows the shotty workmanship, or...alterior motives for more money.
