South Africa works up Rooivalk squadron
Date: 31 August 2006
The South African Air Force (SAAF) is working up its Rooivalk combat support helicopter squadron to achieve full day/night operational capability with cannon and rockets. It is also developing doctrines for operations with other helicopter types and with airborne forces. The moves come in response to a growing requirement for South Africa to play a greater role in peace-support operations in Africa.
