Yes, indeed it is... very cool piece of hardware... saw it an an airshow in late 90's doing a full loop... never saw a chopper do that before.

Rooivalk translates as Red Falcon.

Welcome to Rooivalk, welcome to the club mate.

As for your name sake the Red falcon, looks like a smaller version of the Hind with a cross between the Euro Tiger. How many do you have Rico ? Thats the good thing for your country, having been under an arms embargo for so long you have had to develop your hardware. I read some where not to long ago that the SADF developed a long range howitzer, with a great accuracy.
