India set to carry out trials for US-made Stryker combat vehicles in Ladakh & deserts
Army is looking to procure about 530 infantry combat vehicles to re-equip several mechanised infantry battalions. Talks between India & US are at an advanced stage, it is learnt.theprint.in
Asked about the wheeled armoured platforms (WhAP) developed by Tata and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), sources said these serve different purposes.
They explained that the WhAP cannot be compared to ICVs as it only has a troop-carrying capacity. It does not offer firepower, a sight system or even a fire-control system. A fire-control system is crucial given that it generates situational awareness while firing at targets. "
Giving hafta to Canada pathetic.And gentlemen this is how you sabotage and f**k an indigenous product in the name of diplomacy.
In India business basically means buying low selling high a.k.a commission agents. Horrible fact is that this type of behavior is basically indulged by established business houses having good political connections.Screwdrivegiri is being pushed to derail indigenous systems & to exploit the loop hole in procurement process.
Now dalal lobby is after the APC segment, brick by brick our entire indigenous industry is getting dismantled by these rent seekers.
I want my men in uniform to have what they want. They didn't just ditch whap,they did thorough evaluation of that product. Remember the army had inducted Insas in past,also not so long back they even placed bulk orders for Aksh missile by totally ignoring the fact that it weighs 700+kg per missile.And gentlemen this is how you sabotage and f**k an indigenous product in the name of diplomacy.

With all of these modern capabilities, a 3-man turret like this would have a great option for the in-service Arjun Mk1 and in-development Mk1As imho. It would have shaved a few tonnes off the tank and made it more lethal.I half posted that here
Upto the forces. NGMBT is evolving.With all of these modern capabilities, a 3-man turret like this would have a great option for the in-service Arjun Mk1 and in-development Mk1As imho. It would have shaved a few tonnes off the tank and made it more lethal.
TATA WhAP 1 is a bad product..... This thing has gun ports..... WhAP 2 look promising but look like they didn't remove those side ports still.
18 IPMV are already inducted by the IA
49 is the number required by IA for CBRN role
Australia went for boxer for the same reason since it offer better protection than any vehicle of its type ......Wait till you see the IFV they are making. They are basically replacing BMP-2 Tin Cans with other BMP-2 tin cansThe front profile of the M&M version gives off Boxer-ish vibes. Hope the design will evolve further over time. We need to ditch the obsession with 25t max wt. Mobility is important, yes. But can't compromise on protection and firepower.
I kinda like the L&T version too but sadly there aren't too many pics of it.
