The two original links/refs are dead and needs to be researched and updated. I added two official sites, but the article contents may or may not be referenced-able. Added a link for missiles on display. LanceBarber (talk) 07:17, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is not limited to only this article. The corporate restructuring, partnerships and rebranding that has been going on in the Denel group has seriously messed up the links and refs of practically all the Denel related articles. Its going to take a concerted effort by editors to get them all fixed. Roger (talk) 11:54, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The links and refs (such as they are) are correct. I'm removing the template. Roger (talk) 13:32, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A longer range (still SHORAD) variant might be called the Umkhonto ER (extendedd range) while a medium range radar variant would be AWSAM (all weather SAM).

What does "Reloading the launcher is made either on the basis of, or in a calm sea using an auxiliary vessel" mean? It appears that this needs to be edited.Royalcourtier (talk) 21:22, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
