Following on to my post #430 above, the orange weapon seems to appear again (now painted dark green), and has a name: LongClaw - "RDM also shared its investment in cutting-edge technology development, including the LongClaw guided warhead"

LRIP at the minimum. It seems my theories about them being tested at Overberg has been confirmed by news.

They look like fibre glass dummy models at best.

Yes, I have come to the same conclusion.

Begs the question of why though?

From recent news Skyknight is at least 75% done and firing and interceptions have already taken place.

Seeker seems impressive, and the warhead being shaped charge and fragmentation is quite interesting.

From recent presentation in Austria

Has there been much info that has come out on the LEDS APS prototype like seen on the Rooikat MTTD? I have been trying to prove with evidence to people that the thing worked. I have spoken with Dewald Venter about it and he says that it just shot multispectral countermeasures, AKA smoke, he also said that the Mongoose APS missiletjie was not put on it and was a munition developed from the lessons learned with the MTTD APS.

Here are images I got from earlier in this forum of the MTTD's APS (or at least it looks a lot like it) and the Mongoose.
