I agree with you, "Ratel" is an example of a fairly successful wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, developed taking into account economic and geographical conditions. The hulls of the machines are welded from steel armor plates with a thickness of 6 to 20 mm. The frontal parts are installed with a rational slope and protected from armor-piercing bullets of caliber 12.7 mm, circular protection is provided from 7, b2-mm bullets and shell fragments. The design of the bottom and the wheeled propulsor provides increased anti-mine resistance, which in South Africa is given special importance, taking into account the predominantly partisan nature of military conflicts and the need for action along the roads.
