Kenya boosts armoured vehicle fleet with Springbuck and M1117 APCs
Kenya’s inventory of armoured vehicles continues to grow, with the country recently taking into service new DCD Springbuck armoured personnel carriers (APCs) from South Africa and second hand M1117 armoured security vehicles from the United States.
In early February this year, a large convoy was seen transporting Springbuck armoured vehicles to the capital Nairobi ahead of formal commissioning on 6 March by the Ministry of Interior.
Established in 1898, DCD’s predecessor was founded in Cape Town, South Africa.
Now, more than a century later, the DCD group has firmly established itself as an international military vehicle manufacturer and engineering conglomerate, providing products and solutions to the defence industry.
