WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

An artillery system that rocked the world with its 39km range when it
entered service in the 1980s is about to deliver another powerful blow
to rival howitzer manufacturers. South Africa’s G6 155mm howitzer is now
being developed to achieve ranges of 50km, 60km or even 70km, according to an
exclusive report in the November issue of Jane’s International Defense
Review (IDR).
The Denel company of South Africa – formerly known as Armscor – was
producing G6 and G5 guns with a 39km range when NATO armies were still
equipped with weapons that could only reach between 18 and 30km.
European and US manufacturers have fought hard to make up the gap, but now
South Africa has taken another giant leap forward, using new ammunition and a
long barrel development dubbed the G6-52.
This exclusive IDR report, written by IDR artillery specialist Rupert
Pengelley, comprises around 5,500 words of in-depth, technical
analysis, 19 photos and illustrations and a data table. To order this report
