Every South African Weapon System Ever Designed F
Isolated by international embargoes during the late 20th century, South Africa had no choice but to build its own military-industrial complex from scratch. The result? Some of the most rugged, innovative, and terrifyingly effective weapon systems ever designed! In this video, we explore the complete history of South African military engineering. From the legendary Ratel IFV—the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle that revolutionized highly mobile bush warfare—to the fearsome Denel Rooivalk attack helicopter. We also break down their unique infantry and precision weapons, including the futuristic-looking Vektor CR-21 bullpup rifle, the absolutely massive 20mm Denel NTW-20 anti-materiel sniper rifle, and advanced stand-off glide weapons like the MUPSOW. Discover how a nation cut off from global arms markets learned to design weapons perfectly tailored for harsh environments, mobility, and devastating firepower.
