Hmmm, to start the discussion on the Atlas Oryx page, I'm considering removing the armament section. Though there was a Puma modified by Atlas to carry the armament mentioned in that section, no Oryx has ever been modified in that way, and they remain unarmed, aside from the possible fitment of a door-mounted machine gun. Any objections?

Where...
[edit]Where can I find great pictures of this chopper?
Upgraded Pumas or New Manufacture product
[edit]I have found sources that suggest both upgrades of delivered French-made Pumas and a wholly domestically-made product different from the French models. Even Denel's website makes it seem that way: [1]
Anyone know for sure?--SAWGunner89 11:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Not for sure, since nothing has been confirmed, but some believe that the Oryx conversions were done on +- 50 IAR-330L licence-built Puma airframes from Romania. It's almost certain that they were not built in SA, as Atlas Aircraft (Denel's predecessor) had neither a legal licence nor the tooling to build them. — Impi 11:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Power output
[edit]I reversed the HP and kW figures, without doing further research. They used to say 1400kW (1044HP) which is the wrong way around, I guess. Thomasonline 10:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the original kW figure was correct, it was the HP that was wrong. I've reverted your change and placed the correct HP conversion in. — Impi 11:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
[edit]Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 10:57, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Updates
[edit]The statement that "Oryx helicopters are constantly refined and updated" is not correct. Due to budget constraints only very limited work has been done.Royalcourtier (talk) 05:56, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
