Hi All

In case any one is interested......

From the Army talk site a SA Military chat group

Following a query on SA Armour in th closing stages of the conventional war the following was posted:-


During Ops Modular 11 tanks (1 squadron were used) and were operated by School of Armour's E Squadron

During Ops Hooper two tank squadrons (22 tanks) were used. F Squadron was from School of Armour and A Squadron from Pretoria Regiment . Pretoria Regiment was relieved halfway through the Ops by Regiment Molopo.

During Ops Packer two tank squadrons (22) were used and were operated by Regiment President Steyn.

With the Cuban advance in June 1988 one squadron was used operated by 61 Mechanised Battalion Group.

In all cases the Olifant MBT was used

Cheers

Steve
