To counter the expected arrival of the allied forces to re-establish democracy in the country, confirmed sources advance that" the putschist regime of Antananarivo rushed in the south eight light armoured vehicles known under the abbreviation of BRDM.
"Gone from Arivonimamo, west of the Capital, these contraptions, more than 30 years old, took the direction of Morondava (south - west), and to Tolagnaro (far south of the country), according to witnesses.” “Morondava has been chosen because it was there that Marc Ravalomanana and his accompanists (about twenty people) were recovered by lifesavers from southern Africa ", hint the same sources. By deduction, the putschists of Antananarivo believe that "the head of the state and the African armies could disembark by there."
Amphibious tanks
"The other convoy of BRDM took the direction of Tolagnaro for the simple and good reason that any landing by sea could not be possible but there because of the tide ", resume the same sources. It backs up the two patrol boats of the state police offered by the Americans under Ravalomanana’s era (patrol boats dating the Second World War and that can only do 100 km). Some elements of the Special Forces belonging to the GSIS (state police) have already been on the spot for some time now. The BRDM is an amphibious tank endowed with a 33 mm-cannon of a 2 km-shooting range (compacted shooting). As amphibian, it can descend to 2.5 m under water. The BRDM consumes 100L/100 km. In support to this small armada, the local populations are invited by the" foza power” to lend strong hand to the army while delivering any military-defence information. But the Malagasy are ever shared on this question. |
