bien vu pour le crocodile CROCODILE TROOP CARRIER Based on a commercial 5 ton diesel truck, the Crocodile troop carrier was produced in some numbers and in various model variants. The angled steel shell of the hull provided ballistic protection from grenade fragments and AK-47 rounds. The charcteristic deep "V" of the hull was designed to deflect the blast of landmines away from the occupants inside the veihle. The sturdy roll bars further protected the occupants in the vent that a land mine detonation rseulted in the vehicle overturning. Bullet resistant glass was provided for the driver. The hatches visble along the sides are viweing / firing ports. Crocodiles continue to serve in the Zimbabwe National Army today
