The Eland 90 mk7 is a variant of the Eland armoured car, a South African adaptation of the French Panhard AML. The Eland 90 mk7 is equipped with a 90mm Denel GT-2 low-pressure gun, which can fire high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) and high-explosive squash head (HESH) rounds. The Eland 90 mk7 has a crew of three: a commander, a driver, and a gunner. The vehicle is powered by a Chevrolet 153 2.5 liter petrol engine, which gives it a top speed of 100 km/h and an operational range of 450 km. The Eland 90 mk7 has a fully independent suspension and four-wheel drive, making it highly mobile on rough terrain. The Eland 90 mk7 was used by the South African Defence Force (SADF) in various conflicts in Southern Africa, such as the Angolan Civil War and the South African Border War. It was also exported to several countries, including Morocco and Zimbabwe. The Eland 90 mk7 is considered to be one of the most successful light armoured cars ever produced.
