General information
The Ratel ZT3A2 ('Ratel' meaning 'badger' in Afrikaans) is an ATGM carrier and the last major upgrade of the popular Ratel wheeled combat vehicle family. Production of the Ratel ZT3A1 began in 1987, followed shortly by the modified Ratel ZT3A2, which was capable of launching the new Ingwe ATGMs. The South African National Defence Force continues to operate the Ratel ZT3A2 to this day.
The ZT3A2 was introduced in Update 2.5 "Ixwa Strike". It is a wheeled ATGM carrier with decent mobility and tandem-charge ATGMs; however, its armour only protects against small-calibre bullets, so the vehicle has to avoid enemy detection.
