Are you sure? I think it said "Windhoek Maschinenwerke" somewhere on that Wolf. So I supposed that it would have been German engineers in Windhoek, Namibia, making them. Of course it could have been a Casspir refurnished in Windhoek or something.

The South Africans dropped this bomb somewhere in southern Angola a long time ago and it didn't go off. This German guy called it an "english type" bomb, he defused it. I can't remember the weight of the bomb any more.

They are Turbo Wolf's. They were originally developed by South Africa as a replacement for the Casspir but never really replaced them. They were produced in SWA (now Namibia) for the security forces there. Nowadays they are still in production in Namibia by Windhoek Maschinenwerke part of August 26, a Namibian state-owned company.

That might be the 460kg bomb carried by the Buccaneer. It therefore would be of English design.
