NDP tank hits traffic light: NSF responded with the appropriate SOP, says Mindef
A Leopard 2SG tank that struck a traffic light during NDP rehearsals on July 5 experienced a rare technical fault, but the full-time NSman operating it followed proper SOP and activated the parking brake to stop the vehicle, Mindef said on Friday (July 11).
Investigations revealed a previously unknown issue in the transmission system, and comprehensive fleet checks confirmed it was an isolated case. The tanks have been cleared to resume participation in the NDP mobile column.
