perfect for small gallis in india
Not In J&K..this can become a prized assset in the hands of nsg,swat teams of various city poilce but has zero value for coin forces like rashtriya rifles,assam rifles,crpf etc
Then what is the use of operating Maruti Gypssy, all the choppers by army according to you then. Isnt it?One does not use tanks in COIN.
Yet, what is the use of a vehicle that cannot take an RPG shot?
Terrorists in Kashmir use it extensively.
Your Answer Sir,.....One does not use tanks in COIN.
Yet, what is the use of a vehicle that cannot take an RPG shot?
Terrorists in Kashmir use it extensively.
One would rather stay with the current drill (manpower intensive using cover and fire and move) than venture with a vehicle that will blow up when one is closing in.

Soon to be crowned the world's smallest tank, this little armored juggernaut is only 32 inches wide and about 4 feet high. The driver is protected by ballistic steel and Kevlar armor with bulletproof Lexan windows. This compact powerhouse is designed to assist security and law enforcement teams.
Indian Forces at CT operation do need small armoud tracked Vehicle with mass fire power..
may be this can help in J&K!!!!this can become a prized assset in the hands of nsg,swat teams of various city poilce but has zero value for coin forces like rashtriya rifles,assam rifles,crpf etc
Do u mean this bhai!!!The Vehicle is deigned for hostage rescue and casulity evacuation in places like inside TAJ..
It cannot climb stares but it can fit in a elevator and move and fire and armored in tight hotel spaces ..
This is not a first attempt but a second in India..
The vehicle is made on request by NSG and counter terror agency..
A mini armoured car, designed for use in confined spaces such as airports and hotels targeted in terror attacks, has gone on display at an Indian arms fair.
The battery operated, two million rupee ($45,000) Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (Atac) is said to resemble a bullet-proof golf buggy with firing ports.
It has been specially designed to transport two armed security personnel during or after terror attacks.
It was created in the wake of the Mumbai (Bombay) hotel attacks of 2008.
The attacks in November 2008 took place in two luxury hotels with gunmen surrounded by security forces for about 60 hours. One hundred and sixty-five people were killed in the attacks, including nine gunmen.
The company behind the cart, Metaltech Motor Bodies Pvt Ltd, said the Atac had been designed in the aftermath of the attacks.
'Helplessness'
"It can extract civilians or engage terrorists," Metaltech managing director JB Sehrawat told the AFP news agency.
"It's a product of our sense of helplessness over the casualties we took in the attacks. We put our heads and hearts together and came up with the Atac."
It weighs just under half a tonne, has bullet-proof windows and contains numerous firing ports. Furthermore it is able to negotiate corridors and lifts.
Metaltech says the squat and heavily armoured vehicle can also withstand grenade blasts and last for six hours on a single charge - with a top speed of 25km/h (15mph).
The company said it was offering a prototype of the vehicle, which drew applause from visitors and military scientists attending the arms fair in Delhi, for trials with the sponsors of the Commonwealth Games, due to be held in the city in November.
India has had to reassure foreign countries that those games and next month's hockey World Cup in Delhi will be safe and free of terror attacks.
"Given the growing threats, we need nano-engineering such as the Atac," Metaltech Vice President SW Thatte said.

It will not be practical to make this size of vehicle RPG proof, it won't be feasible.Its not a tank..
BMP-1/2 cannot take RPG rounds either..
The armored vehicle for Kashmir CT terror operation is not this one, this does not suit the task but a different IFV..
Brig, most of these put in specialists by arm vendors and their paid advertisers will not be able to answer such real questions. Arms vendors should hire someone like you rather than these photo psychos.....What is the aim that this vehicle is to achieve?
Can it take a hit from an RPG?
If it can, then maybe closing in with terrorists holed up in a Kashmiri house makes sense.
Right..
So where are we going with that? Ladakh?
