Introduced in the 70’s, the Ratel was the first wheeled IFV in the world to enter service, and provided South Africa with a rugged design able to carry soldiers over vast distances and support them in areas traditional supply lines would be severely strained to reach. It is named after the honey badger, renowned for its strength and ferocity when cornered, reportedly even fighting off lions and hyenas.
