The Casspir was the primary mine-protected APC of Koevoet and 32 Battalions during the Angola conflict. Units of the SADF started using the Casspir late in the war due to the remarkable safety record. The Casspir offered the occupants a significant anti-landmine capability. The vehicle also allowed maintenance personnel to easily replace components after a mine detonation. This made the Casspir the preferred vehicle to use during long cross-boarder operations. The Casspir was later used for various conversions such as ambulance, 81mm mortar, 106mm recoilless anti-tank weapon and also for urban police operations. The Casspir still forms an important part of the SANDF. Casspir is 10.88 tons loaded, powered by a diesel engine, has a range of 770 km, speed of 98 km/h on the road, a crew of 2+12 and often has an optional 7.62 machine gun.
