An infantry fighting vehicle from South Africa, the Ratel 20 IFV 6×6, was the first in the world to be deployed. The 20 IFV was created in response to a request from the South African army for a light-attack vehicle (LAV) that could handle offensives needing maximum firepower and strategic mobility. It is housed on a MAN truck chassis.

Because of their straightforward and affordable design, the 20 required less logistical support to operate heavy combat vehicles in underdeveloped areas. Thanks to its then-innovative characteristics, including a mine-resistant hull, increased operational range, and high-tech autocannon, the 20 was a tremendously important concept.
