Its combination of speed, range, and firepower made it ideal for the vast distances and harsh terrain of southern Africa. The 90mm gun could engage both armored vehicles and fortifications, while the 4x4 chassis provided exceptional cross-country performance. The Eland earned a formidable reputation and was exported to several African nations.
