(APV) The RG 31 is being used as an armoured patrol vehicle in Afghanistan. Armaments include a remotely operated 7.62 mm machine gun and smoke dischargers. 02 May 2006.
More info:
The RG-31 Nyala is multi-purpose mine-protected vehicle made by Land Systems OMC in South Africa, based on the TFM Industries' Mamba APC. The vehicles V-shaped monocoque welded steel hull and high suspension are designed to resist a blast equivalent to two TM-57 anti-tank mines detonating simultaneously.
The RG-31 has become the multi-purpose vehicle of choice of the UN and other peacekeeping and security forces. It is finding favour with nongovernmental organisations requiring a vehicle with a non-aggressive appearance to protect their personnel against the threat of landmines.
