    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.

Voorreg gehad om Blesbok te kon ry om voorrade te gaan haal, die Turbo weer weergawe was bietjie beter tov verrigting, en was 4 keer grensdiens en altyd Cassper bestuurder agv kursus, 2 x pap band geruil wat bewys hoe betroubaar die voertuig is, en nie boswereld voor bang was, verkies bosse bo teerpad...... Ook kursus op Albatros gehad en net so betroubaar, as jy ratskakelling kon glad doen. Vandag, en was 32 Jr K9 lid bly die beste bos voertuig die Cassper, veral toe vooruit kant vensters vergroot is.

Shortly thereafter my Ratel got hit with an Rpg7 - how I survived was a miracle, - that was on 10 June 1980, in the space of a few minutes 13 of our guys died and 28 were wounded, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of it. I was glad to be picked up and flown out via chopper to hospital.
