A friend just told me that a HIT delegation was recently in South Africa and visited Denel company also @Path-Finder but can't say whether it's selected or they were actually visiting for something else. I hope they also had MRAP in mind

They should've go for this one it's much more advance than "Nora" and if we start this project in JV it would surely boost our industry.

But the chances of visit could also be for "A-darter" and "Umkhonto IR ADF". Because there isn't any such talk going for MRAP from SA?

HIT delegation won't visit South Africa for A-Darter or Air Defence systems those are dealt by different guys. HIT guys were either there for Artillery or MRAP

We are testing T5

We've tested T5-52 155 SPH. but most of our friends here were advising to go for G6.

We are testing T5

Why G-6 is not included both are good, G-6 hit longer while T-5 can fire faster.

Sorry my bad i just missed the HIT part, than it must be T5-52 Get ready to test some shots on LOC.

Can't agree more these Toyota Trucks are death trap even a cracker results in death of our soldiers. We have lost so many lives due to stupid Toyota Trucks we need MRAP and South Africa makes best ones that is why USA comes to them for MRAP we should take at least two to three different MRAP with TOT from them. According to @Bilal Khan (Quwa) UAE boughts right of NIMR MRAP only in 60 million dollars

Even Buffel from the 70's will be enough for us Buffel can be upgraded like this and of course it is cheap and expendable;

Sri Lanka is still using them for over 30 years now and they are still going strong!!

t5-52. It's the same gun as the g6-52 just different platform (the uae has the 45 cal gun not the 52). The T5 affords more flexibility as you can usually decouple the gun and the cockpit/engine/chassis and use it as a powered-towed howitzer. two birds with one stone.

Its Buffel MRAP. the daddy or granddaddy of all MRAP's but its modernised!
this is original Buffel

yea it looks weird.

but i think the truth is we couldn't afford MRAP's for whole army. we must find something which is cheaper in terms of price and maintenance but can keep our soldiers safe. and that thing is M113 or Hamza APC.

Dude 1000 to 1500 MRAP in operational areas are more than enough

Couldn't even bear the fare of 1.5k so this is the only policy of PA which'll fill the gap until any new project comes to fruition with TOT like M113.

This MRAP has been in service with Sri Lanka and Its cheaper than buying toyota pickups. if a IED goes off under a toyota pick up their will be guaranteed fatalities. Now Sri Lanka has built these under license from South Africa since 1986 and it has saved countless lives. All it is a Chassis of a Mercedes Unimog Truck with Mercedes engine and armored compartment and V shaped hull. If Sri Lanka can build them why can't we?

Our lohar ruler can build them if he so wishes
