South African Defence Force: Armoured assault
The SADF main battle tank was the "Olifant". Based on the British "Centurion", it carried a 105 mm gun, had improved mobility in addition to other modifications. While able to match any Soviet equivalent deployed in Sub-Saharan Africa at the time, it remained an improvisation. Also featured in this video is the G 6 155 mm self-propelled howitzer. While superior to anything that the Angolan side could put in the field, there were rather few actually deployed at the time. The backbone of the artillery during operations in Angola therefore continued to be the G 5. The last part of the video features mechanised infantry.

8 SAI facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid... In 1973 two new infantry units were established: 7 Infantry Battalion (Bourke's Luck) and 8 SA Infantry Battalion (Upington), as well as 11 Commando (Kimberley), which to a great extent took over the functions of the Danie Theron Combat School's training wing. In 1973 the SADF also took over responsibility for the defence of SWA from the SA Police, and during the succeeding months the SA Army became involved in combat operations for the first time since the Second World War, clashing with groups of SWAPO terrorists infiltrating into South West Africa. It was decided in 1974 to organize the Army's conventional force into two divisions: 7 SA Infantry Division (71, 72 and 73 Motorized Brigades) and 8 SA Armoured Division (81 Armoured Brigade, 82 Mechanized Brigade and 84 Motorized Brigade). The HQ's of the two divisions were established on 1 August 1974, and they form the basis of the organization of South Africa's conventional forces to this day.
