| #1 SABC News - Nothing to be concerned about “Russia and SA have long had dealings at a military level, we do exchange a number of activities. They are huge planes and the good thing is that as much as they are huge bombers, nuclear bombers, they are not armed. We should never worry because our air force people went in and looked at these planes and the technology they have and carry and it’s something that is good. We should never look at the negative side of it,” explains Ramaphosa. |
