South Africa has a very competent weapons industry, developed thanks to the Apartheid boycott.

Expat South African. US Citizen. Don’t poo poo their systems. This is not a good thing. The v shaped under armour they put under HumV’s was designed by SA. Their systems just work. Bubble gum and baleing wire.

Why do they not have many tank tread vehicles? They don’t need them.

Hell SA was a nuclear power. The test in the Atlantic off of Namibia. I think it was 76.

The Heinz family screwed them royally. Their tomato plants in Mozambique were dear to them. I don’t mean actual green plants. I mean processing plants. Deep state took over. RSA was screwed in so many ways. It has become a hellhole of corruption. It was the hope for sub Saharan Africa.

No more. It is a literal shithole today. Corruption at all levels like the rest of that God Forsaken continent.

SA was a very advanced country with extremely competent machinists. Then apartheid ended and the govt was taken over by incompetent crooks and it’s been a failing state ever since.
