    The Ahrlac (Advanced High Performance Reconnaissance Light Aircraft) will have a number of uses, including border patrol and surveillance. But, just in case, they’ve also equipped it with a 20mm canon. At a cool R79,59 million each, these badboys aren’t exactly recession friendly. But who cares? Who needs money when you have guns?

    The Ahrlac was recently revealed to the media by Aerosud chairman, Paul Potgieter and Paramount Group chairman, Ivor Ichikowitz, and is said to have rapid deployment capabilities, a range of 1100 nautical miles and a short landing and take-off capability.

    The reported amount of money spent on this badboy so far is somewhere around R1,59 billion. So far 80 flights have been undertaken with a quarter scale model. Full-flight testing is still to be done.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of these boys, but is now really the time to be spending billions of Rand on surveillance planes?

    Another wise decision from the top, I see.
