SANDF's Motorised Infantry

[edit]

SANDF's Motorised Infantry is transported mostly bySAMIL Trucks,Mamba Mk3 Armoured Personnel Carriers or other un-protected motor vehicles.SAMIL 20,SAMIL 50 andSAMIL 100 trucks transport soldiers, towing guns, and carrying equipment and supplies. SAMIL trucks are all-wheel drive, in order to have vehicles that function reliably in extremes of weather and terrain. Motorised infantry have an advantage in mobility allowing them to move to critical sectors of the battlefield faster, allowing better response to enemy movements, as well as the ability to outmaneuver the enemy.
