8,436 rounds per AK. Wonder how they come up with numbers like this? Also absolutely mind-blowing how much it costs to equip a relatively small force.

Need to plan farther than one firefight.
Oh my god this kind of literature is my new fetish where can I find related texts?
>>29575634
How many is this supposed to arm?
>>29575634
>"sniper rifle"
0/10
>>29575634
341 guys huh...
Are the foreign combat detactment pulling double duty with the expat trainers in the spla special forces units?
>>29576709
If this is to be believed, about 1541 men. It also matches the amount of Arsenal AR M1 rifles they're buying.
Funny how they don't use the APC they built.

Enjoy being dead.

Erik has been striped of any power withing Xe/Academi. This is a part of new venture called Frontier Services Group that was supposed to help supply/train/lead/support a force in Africa
These documents come from this article:
https://theintercept.com/2016/04/11/blackwater-founder-erik-prince-drive-to-build-private-air-force/
which is a very fascinating read. Most of it deals with the efforts he went through to weaponize a crop duster.
Also pic related was the grand total proposed for a year's work
>>29576863
Is this an older doc or is this a new group?
>>29576960
It's part of the same doc which is dated from 2014 so its fairly recent
>>29576908
They're arming Africans on a shoestring budget who probably aren't technically sophisticated enough to operate EW equipment and aren't going up against an enemy that can exploit that
>>29577016
Well. Nevermind then.

this sounds like a script for a bond villain.
just to get this straight, this guy prince, who indeed sounds like a misfit bond villain, is trying to get the south sudanese gov't to pay him $300,000,000, with 60% in advance, to set up a private army in SS?
this sounds like the beginning to MGS4 for fucks sake.
>>29577113
Most of the force is Sudanese Army but advised by PMCs and supported by PMCs to protect oilfields. I'm sure that they would be used in more offensive operations if they're assembling a special operations force
>>29576885
>SS police
UH OH ERIK
Someone accidently revealed their lebensraum power level.
What's the big fucking deal? He's trying to slap weapons and armor on a civilian airplane. Sure it violates western sanctions but fuck those cucks. The article already said a part of the company was from Hong Kong what does it matter?
>>29577849
FSG is based on Hong Kong. Airborne Technologies is an Austrian company and they were the ones doing the engineering work and modifying the plane. There are export regulations for armed aircraft, not to mention safety testing once they modify the damn thing.
That's why they were trying to the last of the work done in Bulgaria using LASA as the distributor of the planes
300,000,000? Goddamn how bad is it in Sudan? You don't spend this kinda money unless you're up to no good right?
>>29577849
Maybe try reading the article.
>>29578107
Its a failed state.
>>29578107
For a military, that's pennies. That's the price of about 3 F-35s and what you're getting is a 1000+ man fighting force with its own air support and logistics.
Sudan seems like it has a lot of potential wealth in oil fields and diamonds, but as the document says, they can't access those with the rebels attacking those facilities and driving off foreign workers
>>29578107
I believe South Sudan is still in a state of civil war last I checked, that may explain it. I'm not sure if this will go through but if it does we may see a slight repeat of what Executive Outcomes did when they were in Angola and Sierra Leone operating hard on rebels (and according to some reports they're doing it again in Nigeria).
Best part of this is the detailed listings regarding equipment and gear.
This is realistically the best /k/ army could ever hope for, we are talking 1500 man army geared up in a effective fighting force.
I wish more documentation like this was available to the public, this is literally gold, read through it twice over, googled all the gear in the list for the roles they laid out, great reading material
>>29575634
So is he actually going to go to South Sudan?
>>29579256
>After FSG’s logistics contract fell apart and the government halted its payments to the company, Prince traveled alone to South Sudan several times in early 2015 in an effort to salvage the deal. FSG officials said that Prince never briefed the company on his meetings and they were never given a formal explanation of what they had failed to provide the South Sudanese government. “We never got paid and I made the decision to shut it down,” said Smith.
Sounds like the deal fell through because they couldn't deliver on the air assets. I don't know how many of the other things he assembled together or whether it was all talk
>>29579582
>Couldn't deliver on the air assets
Somewhat understandable. Even a few crop dusters tricked out with basic CAS weaponry can wreak havoc on ground targets in Africa, as evidenced by their track record in Biafra, the Congo, and Rhodesia.
You will never be a mercenary Hind pilot.

I can understand why they'd be uneasy about militarising in that way, as it wouldn't be all that hard to get something that's happy to sit at 15,000ft and slap a LGB and designators on it and suddenly all your neighbours need an air force or radar SAMs to shoot it down.

Is Prince a good man?
Does he fight for freedom?
>>29576458
Thanks for memeing like a child instead of discussing how the number was calculated. Great contribution.
What exactly am I looking at here
>>29575661
cant go wrong with the 79 series
Funny given that OEM has an official armed version that the UAE has bought.
>>29578540
Is effectively truce right now, the white army stood down but won't disband,so it could resurge
>>29577457
Maybe he is trying to bring back the stuka
