sias Posted November 30, 2016 Share Not a tank Pretty sure that is the new Ratel (also seen it called a Honey Badger) Infantry Combat VehicleThat is a Rooikat. Nice and big inside, drives over anything and as comfortable as my Discovery 4. And if I remember correctly, carries a 105mm gun...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 30, 2016 Share Technically you are correct about it not being a tank. No tracks, Has wheels. As for what it really is, I have no idea. Guess its easier for twitter to just call it a tank because people associate the huge "gun" sticking out the front as a tank.Technically it's an APC. Armoured Personnel Carrier.

Eddy Gordo Posted November 30, 2016 Share Technically it's an APC. Armoured Personnel Carrier. That must be Zuma's new mode of transport. I am pretty sure, that pretty soon, people are gonna..........hmm wait lets rather see whats next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sias Posted November 30, 2016 Share Technically it's an APC. Armoured Personnel Carrier. Technically not. The Ratel had space for up to 6 troops in the back, and can be considered an APC. The Rooikat has no space for additional troops - it was only the gunner, driver, team commander and I think one more for communications. It's a mean piece of kit if used correctly. It's basically a tank with 8 wheels that goes like the clappers - we had it up to 120km/h on the highway...
