On the subject of the Ratel. I was having another look at the 8x8 Ratel Logistics, or Ratel Log. Then had a look at the thread on the Rooikat armoured vehicle development, in particular the 3 initial early vehicles at the start of the Rooikat project, back in the late 1970's.The vehicle from 1979, the one listed as having "Ratel Features" is pictured below, after the Ratel Log picture.These two vehicles appear to be based on the same running gear/platform.I assume that after the vehicle with the "Ratel Features" lost out in the New Generation Armoured Car project, which led to the Rooikat, that the designers used the same basic 8x8 design on the Ratel Logistic.
