Also India had signed a deal with Denel in the 90s and early 2000s regarding the development of track based SPH for the Indian army using a modified T-6 turret of Denel-G6 Rhino. Earlier proposed on an existing M-46 130mm catapult variant upgrade model, later the Arjun Mk1 Chassis was choosen for this project called "Bhim self propelled howitzer". The gun is also a modified 155mm based on G-5. Unfortunately due to scandals and many controversial allegations, The deal was cancelled and Denel was blacklisted , and removed from that list recently.
Hello Weapons detective. New Suggestion. Could you please make a Video on the 9K31 Strela-1 / NATO Codename:- SA-9 Gopher? It is a short range SPAAML based on the chassis of a modified BRDM-2 recon vehicle , armed with 4 9M31 solid fuel , IR/Heat seeker guided Surface to air missiles. It is the predecessor of the now dating 9K35 Strela 10 SPAAML / NATO code name:- SA-13 Gopher , which is based on a modified MT-LB chassis. Romania also has a licensed variant called CA-95SPAAML based on TABC- 79 APC. The Srela-1 is still in use by many countries like Russia (Naval infantry), Serbia, India , Cuba , Mongolia Romania, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and so on. I have already uploaded many video materials with links in them. Please do check them .

My dad tested the gearboxes for the G6 at Reumech Gear Ratio and also worked alot in Saudi Arabia on this awesome war machines...this made me miss my dad with a sudden rush of emotions...was so prous of him ...he was also the top achiever in the country when he did his trade test as airframe fitter on a spitfire aeroplane at Atlas where he later became involved with the mirages and rooivalk attack helicopter...the G6 was his last work before he passed...most intellegent person i ever knew..
I work for Atlas Aircraft Corporation (Rooivalk, Oryx, Cheetah and Mirage lll, Build Gas, turbines for Oryx and Rooivalk, Composite fuselage components, MPAI), Reumech Gear Ratio. Build the complete power packs for the Rooikat, Sub assemblies (Connector Gearboxes , Cooling Packs, Primary and Secondary Hydraulic pumps for the main gearboxes) 😀

Ek was in Koevoet (Z4). Ek het hierdie goeters (G6) vir die eerste keer by Omatia gesien in 1986. My bek het oopgehang toe ek sien hoe enorm hierdie ding was in vergeleke met n CASSPIR.
Just for the record. The first National servicemen of the first G6 battery were trained in 1989 at Potchefstroom. It was 2 Medium battery, 14 Artillery regiment, 10 Artillery Brigade.
An additional interesting fact, pre the formal introduction of the G6,s in to the SADF in 1989) was that the initial 4 prototypes ( 1 broke down so only 3 were deployed) saw action in 1987 already during operation Hooper and was instrumental for bombing the airfield at Cuito Canavale which effectively limited the effectiveness of the Angolan airforce. This rare opportunity to use the prototypes in actual combat, assisted the SADF to make significant improvements to the final product. Ironically the border war ended in 1989 and the G6 was never used by the SADF in combat ever again.
@@paulwhitfield3453 I was stationed at 14 field Art in '82 as a signals instructor under Lt Eric De la Harpe. Friends with Bombardier Henry Kruger, whom I'd known in high school. Do you remember having to watch that dude doing his dance interpretation of Jeff Waynes' '"War of the Worlds"? I think I must have listened to that so many times, I knew all the lyrics by heart. Anyway, I remember the G5s were in use and the first G6s were coming out. Also did OP for operation Thunder Chariot (or Blunder Chariot as we re-named it).
Amazing to see this. I was in Potch at 10 Art, 14 Field regmt in '88 for my National Service. I remember seeing the G6 thinking it had come from outerspace!
I had the honor to serve in 43 Battery 1988-89. Needless to say that when I saw the thumbnail for this video I was very excited to watch. What I find very interesting is your comment that we fought "allegedly" against communism. 2:50 "allegedly???
@@MakateRapulana I mean you're not wrong at all - but when seen from the Soviet viewpoint, the various liberation movements in Africa were fertile breeding grounds for promoting Soviet ideology (and creating distractions for their Western antagonists). While none of this was lost on the Apartheid government, imo the communism angle was really just fodder for galvanising support from the West and at home from the white electorate.
@@MakateRapulanai mean SWAPO (south western african peoples organisation), PLAN (peoples liberation army of namibia) and the cuban help to PLAN were definitely signs that they were tied to communism, since all of these groups were backed by each other and by the USSR of the time You know a bunch of communist groups And seeing as your name is fidel castro i would expect you to know some of this info, since it was castros idea to back the PLAN group?

My father's friends who were in the South African military told me that these things could shoot so accurate that they can strike a trashcan in an enemy camp from their average firing range. Edit: I asked what the range was: 61 km!
If the weather service, local storage conditions, equipment and crew are performing top notch you basically have a more accurate gun than your infantry man's sniper rifle.
The accuracy was out of this world. I was 'involved' in doing the survey (land surveying) during testing and the G6 blow our minds with its capabilities and accuracy.
In High School we had to manually work out the trajectory of the projectile (math and Science class) These beasts made a huge noise when fired. Mouth open ears closed. Was a lot of fun as a youngster.
That was obviously back in the day when schools actually provided an education unlike the crap they're teaching now. So much was achieved in those days in spite of sanctions. What have we achieved since then?
This weapon was developed and built in South Africa. Today, the South African government pays Cuban technicians to maintain all the defense force vehicles! Unbelievable how the country has deteriorated under the ANC government.
You are absolutely correct! I saw a couple videos a year or two back where a bunch of black SA mechanics in uniform were standing around a truck needing something done to it and some fat black officer was whining about lack of parts and knowledge. I just laughed my ass off, SA uses common civilian engines so parts are everywhere and affordable. You’ll notice you won’t find a white SA soldier in any of their units since we all know why. I looked a some satellite pics of the SA bases and saw armored vehicles scattered everywhere near the motor pool. The Cubans made a deal to teach those idiots how to fix radios, vehicles and some medical equipment in exchange for something they wanted. I can’t imagine how screwed up the SA Air Force must be since the average IQ of a black person there is 65. Did you notice in this video how for the parades, the G6’s were all on the back of a trailer? Every wonder why they don’t just drive them through the parade route? They winched them onto the trailers for the parades. Such a waste of great technology by giving them to a bunch of primates.
The G6 was already built and tested by 1982, as 1 of them was parked at the then 3 Electronics Workshop for a few days in Lyttleton Centurion near Pretoria. We were allowed to actually go have a good look at it and even touch it. Some might have even got inside and on top of it.
For the longest time, I’ve wondered what this vehicle was. I first saw it’s shape as a Transformers Micromasters toy. It was only in the past few years did I learn what it was.
SA's issue was not with the Angolan Army - the issue was SWAPO who moved their bases to Angola after they encountered resistance from the SA police who, at the behset of Namibian villagers investigated murders of villagers. It escalated and the SA Army got involved. FAPLA had an issue with UNITA who were pro western. Cuba decided to intervene and send an estimated 60 000 soldiers to help FAPLA. UNITA was supported by SA with hardware. FAPLA had unlimited supply of Russian weapons, technologically advanced compared to what SA had. SA had no intention or ambition to invade Angola -- that is a BS story. If Cuba stayed out of it and Angola did not Harbour terrorists things would have been very different.
You forget the 1975 incursion into Angola by SADF financed by the CIA. This incursion was in fact to invade and occupy Angola, supporting UNITA and FLNA.
South Africa's armoured vehicles and self propelled artillery would all suit the needs of the Australian Army as well but the Canberra defence bureaucracy thinks Australia is located either next to the Fulda Gap requiring expensive German vehicles or doesn't really need armoured vehicles at all.
Shouldn't Australia be focusing more to air and sea like Japan? Ballistic missiles and carrier strike group sounds what Australia should have these days.
@@Joshua_N-A Surface navies are very vulnerable and expensive but nevertheless are important to deter, weaken and defeat invasions by hostile expansionist powers. Australia does need to concentrate more on less vulnerable naval assets like submarines and more lower cost but capable surface vessels that utilise long range stealthy anti ship missiles as well as anti air and anti submarine capabilities. The air force is also important and needs to follow a similar path of reducing vulnerability to larger powers. Platforms and weapons need to become more diffuse so that they are more difficult to counter. The army must be able to take on large mechanised forces as well as counter insurgency and everything in between. Ukraine has shown how to fight asymmetrically, and accurate and mobile artillery with good targeting and situational awareness provided by drones and other means such as radar and satellites is the right path for Australia's army.
@@andreasbimba6519 China is the only real threat in the region. Even China would have serious trouble invading Taiwan. Australia would be a nightmare. Australia needs a strong NAVY and submarine fleet. A strong air force as well. Personally, I do not think a ground invasion of Australia is a real threat. Navy and Air power should be stronger.
The G6 , is Rain from God and has proved itself time and time again , supporting special ops . In a support role it’s fire capability is second to none , when a G6 has your back there is no evolving situation to worry about .
In a comparison between G6 and more modern 155mm Howitzer systems I am convinced that G6 will outperform any wheeled or tracked system cross country in the Arabian Desert or on typical Southern African terrain. Regarding fire power we must compare the G6 Losvoor system with existing foreign systems. Losvoor never went into production as such, but that technology has been incorporated in the German PHZ 2000 firing the South African Assegaai 155mm ammunition system. Thus, to determine how a modern 52 calibre G6 would perform during firing, refer to PHZ 2000 specifications.
Yes. South-Africa provided a quite a couple of superb fighting systems to the world - America included. Apart from the G6 specs that one will find in Rheinmetall arsenals, think about the airforce fighter helmet aiming system that was developed by S.A. and used during the war. Also what about our surface to air, air to air and air to surface missile systems we developed and which the UAE are now the proud owners (just wonder how they got them...??) of.
@@ilikeit2ful the whole chopper (one with helmet aim) was created in South Africa and was among the best, but when the Americans wanted to buy some the French stepped in with their own version and got the USA to buy 1 of theirs call it shit and build their own.
I always thought that the PHZ 2000 closely resembled the G6 and assumed that a covert technological cooperation or a transfer of technology subsequent to the G6s development must have taken place. Thanks for verifying my suspicion.
The US guns that were obtained were obsolete WW2 guns. They were never deployed operationally but fitted with G5 barrels and used for ammunition trails.
Did a stint in the Army at 14 Field Artillery Potchefstroom South Africa. Carried the G5/G6 round as 'opf*k' (SADF speak for messing you up by running you into the ground) many, many time over. F*ing heave round to run around with. Fun times.
Had thorns surfacing for a long time afterwards from leopard -crawling and dekking slaan in the bush around 14th Field rifle range.. Cr--#ppy-- times with some evil Non- comms .
I've been thinking about what happened to the G6 for some time now and wragtag, here it is . Thanks WD. Was in the DHQ wing during 1970/1971. No heroics.
@@clarrnceclark9482 They are designed for puncture and mine resistance.. The terrain is very much full of thorns like like six inch nails and razor sharp rocks... High and low temperatures dust sand and Mud. Tracks get ground to hell and jammed they are also noisy..by comparisons. Basically it can be fixed in the field.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 yea I've seen some of those thorns on some farms here in South Africa, my dad accidently drove the family tractor over such a Thorne bush, the thorns that where removed where the sizes of my dad's forearms, definitely no tires are going to save you from that, then again a tire can be replaced without needing to strip half the armoured vehicle to get near the tank treads.
@@clarrnceclark9482nope. Vastly more capable amdcresilient than tracked vehicles in sub-saharan conditions. Can be deployed rapidly under own power across large distances by road, faster off-roadcthan any tracked vehicle, and notcat all succeptible to the massive wear and fear tracked vehicles suffer from is sandy terrain. A single mine *will* disable the teacks on a tracked vehicle, but with 8 wheel drive that would be nothing but an inconvenience to this machine.
@@thenomad47 That is a 2017 record. The g5, g6 and the GC45- all Gerald bulls design concepts. Kalyani forge which makes the ATAGS now has IPR on the GC5, Unlike the ATAGS the GC series is heavier and does not have the ATAGs rate of sustained and burst fire. The ATAGS also is now capable of firing ramjet propelled and American Excalibur/ Indian GPS munitions. Both which the g6 and g5 cannot
Lol the ANC brought us freedom....the white supremacist government killed tortured raped and looted our country...compared to them the ANC are angels...Freedom is best🤘
No. In 1979, 3 SAI , Potchefstroom. Standing guard at the main gate, saw this G5, appeared that the barrel would never end. G 5 won the Angola war, my opinion. Thank you Gerard Bull. Then Mossad eliminated him. Bliksem, donner.
Excellent video 📹 A very clever vehicle 👏 In the past 80 years most of the world 🌎 is covered by roads. Once you fire 🔥 you batch of shells , you have to run from counter battery fire
Most of the Angolan border War was actually off road. South Africa has had a lot of problems with border conflicts and usually they need to cover large distances quickly. Wheeled vehicles provide a larger range generally speaking vs tracked and the terrain doesn't particularly require a tracked vehicle to traverse. They usually have a faster off road speed and much faster on road speed vs tanks. They can quickly deploy to the conflict and relocate quickly once there in these low intensity conflicts. They also require somewhat less maintenance vs tanks. Really a brilliant vehicle for fighting insurgents and rebels.
Not to mention, our Ratel vehicles killed many Soviet T74 tanks up there, they could move faster than the turret on the tank could turn and used guided rockets. Sapper 1980-82.
@@beachboy0505it was always a war where close ground support would be key. Yes the SAAF lost air superiority, but it was not to Cuba's pilots, but rather to the USSR's advanced SAM systems. A SAM is absolutely useless against artilery shells, which could be lobbed from the G5/6 at great distances, often with better accuracy than what a fixed wing aircraft could provide.
Dude do you know what the G6 reminds me of, the APC in Aliens if the APC had a massive arty cannon on it, and the G6 were painted black with wheel guards to protect from small arms fire.
Last speed run done by our guys in the 90s against rooikat... the rooikat maintained ~140km/h from 2SSB to 1SSB and the g6's arrived an hour before the rooikat! VERY fast
We were in the 'deurgangskamp' as relief troops for those that fought Moduler, positioned in Angola close to Rundu. While there, the G6's, 32 Bn and others camped very close to us, returning to base after operation Moduler. One G6 had a twisted barrel. From what we were told, the G6's was the most mobile vehicles in the deep sand. We were told the could comfortably drive 50-60 km/h through thick bush in heaven sands. One 32 Bn Ratel had a direct hit with a rpg7 on the front window. Halve thickness of the glass, which is multilayered and cm's thick, was blown away and the remainder deformed in a bubble on the inside by the heat of the projectile. It did not penetrate the vehicle. Absolutely incredible sight, how close they were to death. If that rpg struck anywhere else, it would have gone through like a hot knife through butter. The other Ratel was struck by a mortar on top, next to the front window. The metal was deformed like an elastic membrane, stretched, with a point load somewhere on the membrane. The shrapnel from the mortar exploding on top of the rRatel, next to the main front window, sandblasted the front window that you could hardly see through it. Also a very close call. Shortly after this, we flew in to Masvingo to replace the troops due for relief.
I was in charge of Kwevoelsnes(The gate where the traffic passed. In short we called the base : Die Hek or "The Gate")RIGHT on the "Rooilyn" or red line between Rundu and Grootfontein in 1987. I got an order to just swing open the gates and leave them be until further instructions...We couldn't understand why and the road was DEAD still for the whole day until...I first heard it and then I saw the aura of MASSIVE lights from Grootfontein. Now remember,we had NO clue. I wasn't even trained and was a special in Jumbo de Villiers police gang. That "other" police. I figured why must the RSA brave young men die while I watch. I was a rebel at school and everything was girls,rugby and athletics. Got SWA cravenweek and was SWA champ in triple jump but things were not good at home. My dad asked the Koevoet legend if he had a place for me and Jumbo said LET'S GO! So later on it was clear to us this was an HUGE army contingent and it became clear why W/officer Jumbo said to ask no questions and leave the gate open. The high spirits of the SAA was something I will NEVER forget! I was so proud and just stood still at that gate saluting every vehicle that passed. 12 Elephant tanks on low beds passed and 2 or 3 G6's. I CLEARLY remember telling Sargeant Chitti this scary thing kinda looks like a rat! The salutes from the young soldiers I'll NEVER forget and tears were in my eyes wishing I could join. This was the start of "Ops Moduler". Little did we know what hell would be let loose by these BEST IN THE WORLD warriors! It was one of the proudest days of my life! "ONS VIR JOU SUID AFRIKA" I still miss my black colleagues until this day and will NEVER forget my jogging competition buddy Pasquales's goodbye words : "Fanie,may the road you walk in life be a beautiful road." I miss you buddy...😪😪😪I often pray for those guys. I went back to school and made my matric in Swakopmund after everything. It was an HONOR to serve my country for a little while in my limited capacity. Something NOBODY can take away from me. Thank you Jesus for making me a PROUD Boer. Love you all. ♥️🇿🇦🕊️👏🏻👌🏻

my dad was a soldier in the south african defence force. Did 18 months in the field. Has ptsd from it. though he isn't as bad as he used to be many years ago.
18 months was pre 1980. The border war was just starting to escalate. I was one of the first troeps to be called up for two years, got my papers in 1979. 1980-1981. Lots of base building and patrols, not much action.
The picture of the US M1 (later designated M114 and serving with the US into the 90s) 155mm field gun doesn't match. You showed an M101 or M102 105mm Light Gun (now replaced by the M119 105mm Light Gun) being used in the video. The dead giveaway (other than the gun's small size) is that the crew is assembling CASED ammo. The MUCH LARGER M114 155mm uses separately loading shell and powder charge... My credentials? A US 13Bravo [88 to 96] who worked on the M109 SP 155mm (6"), M110 SP 203mm (8"), the M198 155mm (6") towed gun, AND the M114 155mm (6") towed gun.
And today the SA army is incapable of doing basic maintenance with the people they have in their forces, it’s a complete joke today in comparison to what it was 25 years ago, so very sad.
