DON'T MESS WITH SOUTH SUDANEESE MILITARY IN THE DRC

The Streit Group Spartan(an armoured personnel carrier designed and built by STREIT Group) makes part of the South Sudanese contingent deployed to DRC.
It is also license produced by KrAZ in Kremenchuk, Ukraine. 


The Spartan can be used in a wide variety of applications, including military and police missions. Its welded steel body is mounted on the chassis of a Ford F550
The armored vehicles are Mine protected & some Mine Resistant and Ambush Protected (MRAP) are among the fleet.


Having sufficient armored vehicles especially Mine Resistant and Ambush Protection (MRAP) to convey troops in an hostile environment like the DRC is an essential requirement in today’s battlefield largely due to the ever present threat of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) used by militants. An MRAP is designed in such a way to protect the soldiers inside in case it gets hit by IED at the expense of the vehicle.


Military around the world still make use of soft-skinned utility vehicle such as the Toyota Hilux to move troops around,the use of soft-skinned vehicles offers minimal protection against event the smallest arms used by militants and terrorist thereby putting the soldiers in harms way.


 The more MRAP and armored vehicle the sudaneese Army receives the more its troops are protected which is seen as a win by many in the DRC.


The Armoured vehicles are also manufactured  in the United Arab Emirate (UAE) and are of three types of Streit Group APC.
1) The smaller one being the Streit Spartan 4X4
2) The  larger ones being the Streit Typhoon 4X4.
