Hrmnn: The Israeli company Saymar has done sterling work upgrading the Kenyan AML-90s. I think they've done work on Ugandan/Rwandan ones too? That's why it pisses me off we got rid of all our Elands and replaced them with Rooikats we can't transport in C-130. Meanwhile those Elands are still serving well with the Chadians, Moroccans, Senegalese and Gabonese. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZtU96lzhbA

Patchesagain: Meanwhile in 1990/1 Mechem came up with the MC-90 as a Eland replacement and we didn't pursue it. And in 2015 what did Panhard do? Came up with the Crab. Looking at it, it's very clear where the inspiration lies. One could write a book on all the abandoned/incomplete projects the SA defence industry has churned out since 1990. 1 Like

We should still have Elands lying around SANDF depots. If you look at the nr.s exported and the nr.s produced there should be a lot left. Problem is they'd have to be brought back and upgraded with diesels etc. Denel already has a modern fire control upgrade for that turret. You'd only have to modify it for the 90mm. A couple of squadrons would be enough, but the troops still need to be trained and new units stood up. Then there's the issue of 90mm ammo stocks. I doubt they have been replenished over the years and the Ratel 90's must have burnt through a lot. I doubt Denel would reopen production and the SANDF's ammo standards are much higher than some of the other countries operating them, so they won't buy surplus. frumentius: 1 Like |

61mech: 2 troops in Bangui would've done brilliantly. None lying around unfortunately. 235 remained in 1998 (Defence Review) and by 2010, all scrapped. Some question the 90mm gun, but in the context of technicals, more than sufficient. And yes, the ammo would present problems. In the highly unlikely event the MC-90 were to be resurrected, what do you think of Denel's 30mm cannon?

frumentius: Saymar's done work on Panhard vehicles for Kenya, Burma, and (I've heard) Burundi. Possibly Lesotho as well. The current curator of the Israeli Armored Corps Museum used to be involved in the Saymar project to upgrade those AML-90s, he's a wonderful chap I had the pleasure of meeting once at the Latrun. We didn't get rid of all our Elands and the SANDF could reactivate a full squadron if it wanted tomorrow. Visit Tempe Base in Bloemfontein sometime, you'll see dozens of Eland-90s. They're just sitting in empty lots, being used as sign posts, or collecting rust in that athletic field to the left of the main gatehouse at the end of Furstenburg Road. I saw them when I was on the base about three years ago. Some of the ones remaining in the SANDF's inventory still run and are used for firing off gun salutes on special occasions. I've included a few photos of these surviving cars below.

61mech: For what it's worth, a Belgian firm still makes the ammo for the same 90mm gun. See here: http://www.mecar.be/content.php?langue=english&cle_menus=1156856595 Like I said, there's tons of Elands just sitting around Tempe Base. A few (mostly reserve) units also have them for parades and the like. |

Hrmnn:I know about the ceremonial Elands and the others collecting rust and on "guard duty". However, if that were the criteria, many other vehicles we could rescuscitate in a pinch. ![]() ![]() ![]() My point is about the short-sighted decision to scrap our "light" armour capability. Hell, one year DoD even issued a press release celebrating R40million plus realised from selling noddies for scrap. The premature sale of Elands, the 707s and the Transalls still grates my carrots. 1 Like |

Someone on another forum said they saw a whole parking lot full of them on a base in Bloem recently. Can't remember the details. I never understood why they never bought the EMAK35 for the Badger. It was the original gun meant for Hoefyster. 35mm is almost double as powerful as most 30mm rounds and much more available. It could also be upgraded to 50mm supershot by just swapping the barrel frumentius: 1 Like
