In fact you are incorrect lopajus. South Africa has experience from both world wars, the Korean conflict and fought agains combined FAPLA, Cuban and Soviet forces in Angola druing the lates 70s and 80 sinflicting significant damage. They were also involved in cross borded opperations in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. There was also the Border war. Lets not forget the South African war where the mighty British army got many bloody noses and which almost bankrupted Brittain.

The South African Rooikat went head to head with Cuban T-55's in Angola and won. The Cubans were clever enough not to encrypt their radio traffic, so the S-Africans knew what they were up to.. And they (the Cubans) were scared..! I knew a commander of a troop who engaged them..

Where is Patria AMV (rosomak). That´s probably the best wheeled vehicle in the world today.
