Kenya has been confirmed as a relatively new operator of DCD Protected Mobility’s Springbuck armoured personnel carrier (APC), with the vehicles being used for security and counter-terrorism operations.
On 20 March, Cabinet Secretary of Interior and Administration of National Government Kithure Kindiki commissioned and dispatched the first batch of equipment to support the security operation Maliza Uhalifu, and this included at least eight Springbuck vehicles fitted with roof-mounted light machinegun turrets.
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.
