The Ferrets were supposed to be replaced by the Mechem Iron Eagle. They just ran out of money before it could be done. Just like all the other projects at the time. Here's a link to a guy in England who's restoring one that was sold to Alvis. http://www.warwheels.net/Acorn_IE_ScarabScoutINDEX.html Ironically, the SANDF then went and made exactly the same mistake in the 90's when they got rid of the Eland90's. A upgraded Eland with denel's fire ctrl. made for that turret and a 2.4 diesel would be perfect for peacekeeping in Africa. C-130 transportable with just enough firepower to deal with rebels on landcrousers. Hrmnn: 2 Likes

Was developed in SA to replace the Ferret for the parabats as a fire support/recon vehicle. It was planned to mount quick-change pallet-mounted main armament (M40 106mm recoilless, Milan ATGM, 81mm M3 mortar, R107 MLRS), pintle-mount 7.62mm MG4 on right side. nemesis2u: 1 Like

61mech: While the Iron Eagle seems to have done well as an air droppable fire support vehicle concept, would it have been possible to replace the Ferret with the Eland? Since the funding for the Iron Eagle was pulled, substituting a preexisting vehicle would be preferential, and large numbers of Elands would've been available as they were being replaced by the Rooikat in the 1990s. The Israelis and the French Foreign Legion seemed to deploy AMLs pretty successfully in the airborne role, so there was already a precedent for it. |

Never heard of it being airdropped. Back then they would just land a C-130 and drive it out of the back. I think the Israelis used it like that in the Entebbe raid. Hrmnn: |
