Combat photography from the commander’s cupola of South African Ratel 90 “31-C” moments after destroying a People’s Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola T-54 tank. Although lacking heavy armor, the Ratel 90s were able to run rings around the opposition's obsolete and poorly-crewed tanks, especially in the dense bush.
