With coalition forces currently fighting on all fronts in countries like Iraq and Afganistan, the threat of explosive devices like IED, is an all too real danger facing forces. However, the recent Africa Aerospace and Defence Expo held in Cape Town has seen the unveiling of a new infantry vehicle, born and bred in South Africa that is set to change the game, as Travers Andrews report.

They moved away from V-Hull to a low profile flat hull? Fuckin genius.

@danieb52 10 жыл бұрын

From the info I could find is that the vehicle's armour conforms to STANAG 4569 Level 4 and can withstand 10 kg of explosives under the vehicle and 50 kg from 5m away. It is also protected against RPG-7 and HMG 14.5mm attacks. The reason they say it's revolutionary is because it is the world's first flat hull blast protected hull.

Remember some of these engineers invented the whole V-hull concept with the Buffel AFVs in the Angolan Bush War, and its an area where a lot of our R&D resources are spent as our Army specializes more in Mechanized infantry combat.

Interesting. You'd think they would combine the two for maximum effect, but I guess they've discovered another geometry that deflects blast energy just as good as a V.

I remember seeing that Mbombe after these guys had been at it with their painted hands 3:12. I couldn't figure out for the life of me, why this thing was covered in colourful hand prints on its front and sides, apart from the idea that it was to signify the bloodied hands of protestors! Maybe not the best way to market it then...?

We do, but our farmers gets murdered by thugs with the support of our government. BTW, very little water here in South Africa. A lot of farms has already been confiscated and handed to friends of the corrupt politicians. 99% of these farms has stopped producing anything. We are trying very hard to be a second Zimbabwe.

What. The whole point of the V shape is to deflect explosive force from the bottom. If you take that away you are sitting ducks for IEDs, which is causing the most coalition casualties.

The Russians got a better concept. V shaped hull, 8 x 8 wheel driven, back to back seat configuration to provide better action ability when the inside soldiers have to shoot from the rifle holes under the windows, air conditioning and fighting with a rapid firing cannon of 57 mm calibre and 12,7 mm high velocity guns and 2+2 ATGM launchers against M.B.T.'s Sounds more like an effective fighting vehicle.
