The current South African flag needs to be replaced with the old one because it was the flag SA used during the Border War. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Invmog (talk • contribs) 22:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"South African Army found themselves at a disadvantage when facing enemies who were supplied with modern Soviet artillery". That "modern" Soviet artillery were M46 guns designed in 1946... 77.253.14.250 (talk) 18:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is no evidence that SAfr supplied G5's to Iran - see here. The citation used in the article to substantiate this, states the the G5 guns supplied to Iraq were used against similar guns in Iran during the Iran-Iraq war - that citation is here. The guns used by Iran in the Iraq-Iran war were GC-45 howitzers built by Gerald Bull; these were the forerunners of what was to become the G5, but they were not G5 guns! South Africa and an Austrian firm called Voest-Alpine sold these CG-45's (the Austrian version was called GHN-45) to Iran[1]. I believe the claim that Iran received 30 x G5 guns is false and needs to be removed (or properly cited). South Africa did however supply Iran with 155mm shells, that is well documented.
