The Scorpions steering gear and their Jaguar petrol engines gave frequent problems, and they were never used on active service, remaining within the country for training and exercise purposes. Three soldiers were killed in vehicular accidents in them in 1990, 1991 and 1994. They eventually became obsolete, mostly due to the limited effectiveness of their smaller caliber gun, and most were sold off to other countries via an arms dealer in 2000.
