Army tanks roll into KwaZulu-Natal

South African National Defence Force tanks are starting to roll into areas in KwaZulu-Natal to help to secure hotspots in the province.

This deployment forms part of Operation PROSPER, which started on 12 July with the deployment of 2,500 South African National Defence Force (SANDF) troops in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.

They should have been here 5 days ago.

Yeh, a little late to the party. Image the looters hijack a tank

 

[CommonSense]

Are these these technically classified as tanks?
I'm almost sure there must be some other term which is more correct.
Some member with more knowledge can educate us. In fact, let me google the classification of military vehicles for my own education.

Sitting here, sipping Coffee, imaging the PR guy pitching sending in Rooikat armour with a 76mm gun because of the 'optics' of sending in Casspirs.

Were the G6s busy?

 

[nivek]

Ok Juliass, we're ready now, send in those fighters

 

[Randux]

Should have occupied the cities and townships on the weekend. There was already rumblings something was about to happen.

 

[RanzB]

Keyboard warriors saying too late.

Better late than never for those us patrolling and stationed and guarding 24/7 who need some sort of relief.
