South African Reconnaissance move away from the R-platforms for the Czech CZ 805 BREN.
Considering that most rifles from the R1 to R4 series were outdated, with parts reaching the age of operational failure, moving to a new weapon platform is an expectable change.
To note; OD Grewn gear, low cut helmets and NVG mount present as well as the new rifle platform.
Generally only the special forces divisions of the South African military and SAPS special Task forces are on a modern, global standard.
Even the Rwandan Military have helmets with NVG mounts in the DRC while the SANDFS ducks around in National-Party era equipment.
The rifle in the picture may be the 805 Bren, which is a piece of trash (-SANU admin who used it in practise). If it’s a BREN 2, it’s a game changer and a battle rifle that has been proven in the Ukraine.
