The small caliber round that have perforated this thing is disheartening.

It had a big gun but it was a lightly armoured reconnaissance vehivle which didn't to bad against the smaller Cuban armoured vehicles. So I read.

Cleaning broken images
Iconic image of SADF white conscript infantry troops in bush hats and "browns".... probably early 80's during training and endless training route marches.

South African troops taking a break.
Lending a hand when bush radio comms are dodgy ... SADF troops in Angola.
Business end of a SADF Olifant tank (South African version of the Centurion) -- probably mid-80's.
