Ferret Mk 5 - Size 0 Unit?
The Parachute Squadron Royal Armoured Corps operated the Ferret Mark 5, fitted with the Swingfire anti-tank guided missile, from 1968. One of Swingfire’s major advantages is seen, or rather not seen, here. The sight could be dismounted from the vehicle on a 50m cable, allowing the Ferret and the missile’s launch signature to be concealed. Ferret carried four missiles and two spares, along with a crew of two.
