Casspir MRAP in service with Pak Army?

[Jango]

In the video above, a Casspir vehicle is shown 00:28, a Pakistani flag is visible on it, and also another PA vehicle behind it.

Casspir is a South African 4WD APC that is mine resistant.

When did we get these beasts? and in what numbers? The date of the video uploaded is May 14 2012, so probably in 2012.

I tried searching for more material on the net but no good, anyone here can post something more on this deal?

some have been 'loaned' to test them in PK - FATA environment. that is my info. no deal till it passed evaluation.

The vehicle in video is not a Buffalo, but a Casspir. Main difference, the number of wheels.

some have been 'loaned' to test them in PK - FATA environment. that is my info. no deal till it passed evaluation.

So, what came of the evaluation? Are they still with us or returned?

No, Cougar is shorter and different shape.

The one in the video is a Casspir.
