South African Infantry Fighting Vehicles




Bookmark and Share

Here are two South African Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs)  The Ratel and the Caspir. I was wondering how these vehicles would stand up to the terrain and I.e.ds of Afghanistan? I would assume they would be slightly cheaper to make than those British vehicles in theatre at the moment, but as for whether they would withstand an IED that’s a question you sometimes don’t want to find out.

I was contacted by a SA guy who wants to join the British army, he asked me to check of these vehicles, I suppose they have never really been tested to the max?

30 years of border war with Angola...I think these vehicles are tried and tested...much rather drive around in one of these than a landrover or hummer....that's for sure
