Well Well Well.

We have TATA Kestrel, Mahindra Whap and now Kalyani Wheeled APC.

Also looks like Kalyani will come first with IFV. Waiting for L&T and TATA (Hope they are working on this)

since DRDO is also handling zorawar, we have to assume they have already made a conscious decision to split the design between light tank and armoured vehicle(wh and tr).

my personal view, it's better not to give more options to tareeq pe tareeq type customer like IA. IA seems to have some internal issue when it comes to taking decisions on time. the amount of adjustments/changes the entire system at national level had to undertake for IA to be in a comfortable position to take decisions has been a mind boggling journey.

This is basically drdo design for development of AAP tr and wh version
It will compete in ficv competition to replace bmp-2

Like in case of atags they had 2 partners tasl and kssl
Similarly for AAP tr and wh they have same platform

Infact L&T have their ficv platform ready
I guess they showcased in last defence expo

what are the chances that they will end up in Ukraine ? I don't think there is that high chance of it, but nobody knows, the 155m shells we sold to Czechs showed up in Ukraine.

Artillery shells can have plausible deniability but for actual platforms there is a question of spares and end user certificates which India won't agree to, that is the use of ATAGS against Russian troops in Ukraine.

Russia can easily stop our dark fleet for fuel and spike inflation over here and with 240 seats in Parliament, Topji can't afford any fuckup to appease some Europeans who openly spite him.

iA have mastered the art of “file manoeuvring” and deception. Babus at iA are more skill full in this than their actual battle manoeuvres
