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.
South Africa thanks for making Africa proud 🇰🇪🇿🇦🇰🇪🇿🇦
They should make one for transporting money it will help nd save lives too don't u think
Africa proud? You realize that the engineers of South Africa are Europeans?
South African Rooikat is among my favorite of military vehicles.... That and unibuffel
ratel is pretty cool too
The real name of the helicopter is rooivalk
@@mosmos3922 but he's not talking about the Rooivalk, he's talking about the Rooikat
They moved away from V-Hull to a low profile flat hull? Fuckin genius.
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.
the chap involved in the interview and who directed the project is a mechanical engineer, he is South African,we were in the army together.
Real progress there...keep it up
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.
The commentary..... wow. Voice of an Angel! She has me in a trance
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...?
The v-shape was used because it works, let's see how well this works.
Yeah and for also those bombs called Landmines or smthing 🤔
Mbombe Mmmmm 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🎱 just imagine African countries really come together and United Kingdom of Africa . Economical, Political etc.keep dreaming .....🤭😱🤒😡😠😵🤪😳🤓🤫
Yep, we can call it Wakanda...
No money for the poor plenty of money for war.
Proudly South African Mbombe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although I think bush war does better prepare you for city fighting what with the close quarters fighting and constant threat of walking into an ambush.
We need to make our military more powerful
without the v shaped bottom EFP will cut through the flat bottom like hot knife through butter
They developed a new way of protecting it from mines, they didn't say how though
Terry Pinion you do know that south Africa was using the vshape hull long before any other country .the west especially USA stole our technology . its all they good at doing . so now we made some new technology . I bet USA is already busy stealing it lol .
@@revolutionnow5227 moron. No one stole anything. The U.S. BOUGHT vehicles from South Africa.
@@revolutionnow5227 never knew. Wow
South African
I love how they bring "style" to weapons of murder.
Well done South Africa 🇿🇦, Well done rainbow nation, we are capable
Local warlords liked this.
0:49 Scar FN 16 rifle.
bad for flat bottom it means ied's bellow can flat out do mor damage so if the bottom was v shaped the energy of the blast would blow outwords rather than direct inpact of the vehicle
therfor saving lives and MONEY
The V hull concept was first used by Sweden in 1942 by the way.
No it wasn't, it was first used in Southern Africa
Why not use your combined talents to make affordable farming equipment and water powered engines to simplify and improve humanity lives rather than making war instruments exclussively?
Because there are some idiots looking forward to steal SA diamonds
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.

Who gives a fuck about farm murders.....I don't....and every farmer killed ...deserves it
@Bogore Sound about right. Does this then mean that Europe is for Europeans, and Africans must get out? And must the Chinese also get out?
@@nelsonsibiya9204 you must be connected to one of the politicians, psychopaths.
I wonder what nationality the engineers have...
South African.
Not low IQ who dont know how a wheel works.
European.. Are you happy with that
They are South African,during the arms embargo we were thrown into the deep end and came out victorious!
They must sell it to Saudi Arabia so that Houthi will show you that these things are useless when you don't have motivated soldiers
I am proud of these and all i just wish one day a black south african can make somthing amazing like these its like we black people never make anything all we do is just brag about things we did not make yeah i know it is a south african product proud of my white brothers but i just wish a black south african can creat somthing as awsome
Sometimes it helps to just keep quiet if you don’t have value to add.
Wat wrong did i do or say to piss u off?
@@keitumetsemaila692 be the change
Wat do i have to study to work at denel and make weapons
@@keitumetsemaila692 mechanical or Mechatronics engineering
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.
tattat44 Terry Pinion you do know that south Africa was using the vshape hull long before any other country .the west especially USA stole our technology . its all they good at doing . so now we made some new technology . I bet USA is already busy stealing it lol .
South Africa inherited a professional military, but well no more to say about bygons, it is what it is today lol.
its all good folks, if you need air equip, nigeria and co are selling all their gear cheap :)
stop with the bullshit any african country especially in east and west africa can both beat each other dramatically with their old fake weapons
Mbombe doesn't quite sit well
Afrikaneers?
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.
