The South African Defense Force (SADF) was the military of South Africa. It entered into a military cooperation agreement with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) known as SIMWA (SADF-IDF Mutual Wartime Agreement).1

Under SIMWA, if either country faced a shortage of matériel during war or military operations, the other country would provide supplies from its own stockpiles. The South African Defense Force also agreed to invest in Israel nuclear program and provide testing grounds in the Indian Ocean for Israel nuclear tests.1
