Tank-like SHACMAN——Kenya Military Project
During the bidding process, the Kenyan military selected a shoal on the outskirts of the town of Assi as the site for the wading test. The silt on the riverbed and the smooth rocks on the shore were a hard test for the vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz and URO military vehicles were launched one after another, but they fell into the silt, and sank in deeper and deeper, the exhaust pipes were submerged, making the vehicles unable to startup. Where as the SHACMAN military vehicle successfully completed the test without an issue.
After the evaluation, SHACMAN military vehicles used winches to drag the other brands out of the silt in turn. The crowd on the shore cheered: "Did you see that? This is China's SHACMAN military vehicle, just like a tank!"
