Casspir sheds apartheid notoriety

South African defence vehicle systems company, Denel Land Systems, is marketing its new generation of mine-protected armoured personnel carriers - the Casspir NG 2000 - as a multirole vehicular platform to suit peacekeeping, demining and support operations in war-torn regions.

The American MRAP used in Iraq and Afghan wars was born out this Casspir

These caspers should be used to collect money it can help to reduce cash in transit heist.

With a 5.0?

What is that- engine capacity?

Regte Boertjie mal oor dit!

I do not see a water tap?

[@mikezog1030]

I would take these vehicles over any MRAP

[@SABCNewsRBX]

Literally every MRAP in the world comes from the Casspir, you're basically saying every military on earth sheds apartheid notoriety

[@john83782]

The commentary in this video is pathetic he obviously knows nothing about the military or armoued vehicles.

[@user-ez9en7vk2z]

By saying "apartheid notoriety" that it was ultra well designed during sanctions with limited input from overseas and that it did a stellar job....?

[@Zangempi]

That colour is too ugly,for military vehicles.I do'nt know why UN,is also using it.

[@revolutionnow5227]

The whole world is using it fool . It was the first in the world MRAP. South African technology

White is a visible colour because UN is a peace keeping united force, they want to be noticed & be seen .

[@thekgi1349]

Nice to see the Casper doing good and not evil.

[@makara80]

Combatting a particularly viscous communist insurgency propagated by proxy wouldn't be most, reasonable folk's definition of 'evil'.... ;)

[@ginger0208]

They never did evil.

[@Homoprimatesapiens]

If i were the designer of the Caspir family of vehicles i would certainly give it a wider wheel base. Obviously it is just too narrow and top heavy and cramped for personell inside these vehicles. Pls move away from the narrow ox wagon concept

[@mikezog1030]

It can't be too wide or else its mine protection would suffer. These vehicles were developed through real world experience, not in some design studio.

[@Homoprimatesapiens]

@@mikezog1030 I suppose you are one of the designers.

@@Homoprimatesapiens I am an engineer and its obvious the tradeoffs you need to make.
