I still rate the Casspir IFV/APC as #1. We used them with huge success in 101BN SWATF Romeo Mikes in the 80s. Mk1 and Mk2 if I recall. Mk3 came out in 90s (I think). Koevoet had as well and their version WOLF. Those were made if I recall by WMF - Windhoek Masjien Fabriek and Casspir by TFM. Our Weapon Systems were top notch. In 87 and 88 we had a Sesspir which had 6 wheels. Double diff in front. Our Casspir vehicles were effective and in my opinion a game changer.
The Casspir was just a beast the MK 3 , and Wolf is what I rode in loved the gear changes of these mine proof IFV which saved American lives made in Africa for African terrain, please also do for the Ratels. Dankie.

Terloops so toevallig, min SAP lede weet nie dit. SAP Polisie Honde eenheid is ouer as Polisie self..... K9 - 1911 tot vandag en vorentoe , SAP 1913 tot waar dit nou sapd is.
The military history of South Africa is superb, the inventions that were made way before 1994 are just magnificent
Uitstekend , dankie
R7000! Less than the cost if a HiAce at that time.
Unbelievable engineering.
Dankie Koos, 'n lekker storie so uit die Casspir se mond gesprag. Kannie wag vir die res van die reeks nie, mooi dag vir julle.

That double diff idea did not work well - there is an episode coming on it in the future. Thanks for you comment. Koos
Agreed. We never rated the Sesspir. Good idea but not practical

The sound of that engine and machine crashing through the bush must have made the SWAPO tjop.

Dankie aan die kanaal en Koos. Uitstekende video! Welgedaan!

There are three Ratel episodes coming soon by Brig Gen Tony Savides (Ret). Koos
These are like the ones from the Soldier's Friend DVD!
Thank you. Good video. I have subscribed. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
Love the Casspir, its legacy and my Koevoet cousins that used it .... BUT that felt like a low budget Disney movie with Armscor actors.
Baie interresant. Kan nie wag vir die volgende episodes nie
Salute / Saluut.

Spoor honde? Koos
Ligjare beter as die buffel
Dink ook so. Daar is 'n episode wat sal uitkom oor die Buffel oor so twee weke. Dankie, Koos
@ Sien uit na dit, Koos! Dankie vir julle harde werk!
Ons het in 1977 die eerste Buffels gekry by Eenhana dit is ligjare beter as Unimorg met sandsakke.
@@NickSchoonwinkel Ek seker hy was. Die buffel het altyd gevoel asof hy half klaar was.
Die SAP het die SAW genooi om deel te neem in die Casspir program. Maar hulle het gewyer. Eers so 1986 hulle fout nagesien.
