@calestous South Africa has been making military aircraft for ages... Tunisia manufactures its own drones. Some first.

@drewfhinshaw@calestous Indeed, a quick search shows the first aircraft designed, built and flown in SA was in 1911.

@calestous Great. But most in#Africa are still hungry, die from simple ailments & can't get decent education. Food security first. -
@ooluta@calestous a great improvement if you to compare this with "Nyayo pioneer". -
@JosephAkello@calestous But I still wish Africa would concentrate on innovations pertinent to our problems instead of war machines. -
@ooluta@Lesuuda@JosephAkello@calestous true@ooluta. But there must be a begining. Not all drones deigned for war. -
@JeremiahLenya True. But this isn't a drone, it's a manned a/c thus obsolete in the field of recon a/c@Lesuuda@JosephAkello@calestous
