  • For Immediate Release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces
    26th May 2017 Ref: AB/03/17 – LAT-38-150-H Press Release: For immediate release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces Date: 26 May 2017 Closer ties: Versalift Managing Director Cameron Burnett, right, and Director Andy Bray, centre, are pictured with Mercedes-Benz Head of Special Trucks – Unimog Bernhard Dolinek, and the versatile U218 access platform Unveiled! All-new Mercedes-Benz Unimog-based Versalift platform offers high performance at low cost. The vehicle made its world debut on the Versalift stand at last week’s (24-25 May) Vertikal Days exhibition, a major European showcase for lifting and access equipment. Truck-mounted access platform market leader Versalift and the team responsible for the legendary Mercedes-Benz Unimog in the UK have joined forces to launch an exciting new model. Based on a Unimog U218 implement carrier with nominal 7.5-tonne gross weight, it is designed to provide utilities companies with a compact, fast and reliable off-road package for work on low-voltage power lines in difficult-to-reach areas, at a highly attractive price. Following the Vertikal Days event, which took place at Silverstone, the new truck is being made available to operators for trial – although Versalift has been mounting its equipment on Unimog chassis for many years, this is the first time the two have invested together in a joint demonstration unit. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is renowned for its unrivalled combination of on-road speed and all-terrain capability. The new vehicle is fitted with an all-steel boom and platform that offers a maximum working height of 15 metres.

The development and testing process was long, incloved, and troubled, and deliveries did not begin until 2005. The Bushmaster is based on a design originally conceived by the Irish company of Timoney; considerable portions of the Bushmaster are therefore manufactured under a licensing agreement with Timoney, though production is undertaken wholly in Australia. ADI began the part of the design process done in Australia, but production later passed to Thales Australia, who also developed several variants. (Virtually all of these variants differ primarily in internal arrangements and equipment; externally, almost all of the different versions differ little from each other.) The primary users of the Bushmaster are the Australian Army and Air Force, but it is also used by the Dutch Army and British Army.

(Otokar) MINE-PROTECTED TRANSPORTS: WHat LIES AHEAD? One of the unanswered questions for most military planners is what will happen after Afghanistan. The Second Gulf War, or to be more precise the “follow-on stabilisation effort”, had led to a new category of vehicle, namely the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or Mrap as it became universally known. As this definition is very much US-related we prefer that of “mine-protected vehicles”, which includes the notion of protection against improvised explosive devices, which became the main risk for troops moving in theatre.

Editorial Grumpy Old Men Between this and the next edition of Europe’s leading defence and security journal the world of US politics will rear its ugly head and bite us all – again. In a year of high drama, not to mention tragedy, the US still leads in its perplexing way; perplexing to a continent where anything other than an apolitical military and a neutral judiciary was, at least until very recently, unthinkable. In the US, and more generally around the globe, modern, democratic govern- ments have failed in their duty to protect their citizens, and not just from COVID-19. Popular media and professional pollsters suggest that we may soon see the back of Mr Trump, but wait a moment! Thousands of unopened ballot papers from 2016; stories of gangs knocking on doors to deliver pre-filled ballot papers to vulnerable voters, and the anarchic, fiery – “but mostly peaceful” – scenes in US cities suggest that a landslide might well be on the cards, given Mr Trump surviving his latest brush with COVID-19.

  • The Role of South African Armour in South West Africa/Namibia and Angola: 1975-1989
    JOERNAAL/JOURNAL JORDAAN THE ROLE OF SOUTH AFRICAN ARMOUR IN SOUTH WEST AFRICA/NAMIBIA AND ANGOLA: 1975-1989 Evert Jordaan∗ 1. INTRODUCTION Since 1960, there was a growing international dispute about South Africa's mandate over South West Africa(SWA)/Namibia. The South West African People's Or- ganisation (SWAPO) commenced an armed struggle for independence in 1965.1 In the early 1970's, South Africa already had a significant military and police presence to curb SWAPO activities. In 1973, the South African Defence Force (SADF) assumed responsibility for the defence of SWA/Namibia from the South African Police (SAP) and, within a few months, were engaged with SWAPO.2 Until 1974, Eland armoured cars were deployed in the Caprivi and Katima Mulilo in SWA/Namibia.3 By the end of 1975, following the collapse of the Portuguese African empire, South Africa intervened in the civil war in Angola, where a Cuban presence was perceived as a security threat to South Africa, Zambia and Zaire. These countries, with the support of the United States of America, invaded Angola in 1975. This initially "covert" operation (codenamed Savannah by South Africa) marked the end of regional détente and the start of South African cross-border operations.4 Prior to Operation Savannah there was much uncertainty about the role of armour on the SWA/Namibia border. With Operation Savannah a more prominent and clear role for armour developed. During the 1970s and 1980s, the SADF's role was to contain insurgency in the SWA/Namibia theatre and to ensure that UNITA(Uniao Nacional para a Inde- pendência Total de Angola) continued its armed struggle against the MPLA (the ∗ Maj.
