Armored Personnel Carriers & Infantry Fighting Vehicles

[JBH22]

Major tradeoff: almost nil protection against IEDs.

These are used by Special Forces who are usually themselves on ambush mission so IED risk is minimal.
There is a documentary on you tube British SAS Pathfinders on hunt of Talibans using this type of vehicle gives them more flexibility to carry ammo,food etc

In fact COIN units like Rashtriya Rifles or CRPF COBRA can use these vehicles while hunting their prey they are then to be resupplied by Helicopters

Assume we implement Cold Start and take control of smaller towns close to the international border, yes, we'll need these.

As per the manufacturer it'll carry only 5troops but then its better than having nothing...

Well i like this vehicle BPM-97 would be great for BSF jawans patrolling Border areas fit it with 12.7mm HMG

Mahindra Rakshak..

On a chilly November morning last year, an army Rakshak jeep crawled slowly along a side road near Sopore in J&K. The six Rashtriya Rifles jawans inside were on alert; in that area danger is always just around the corner. But when the attack came, there was little they could do; with a deafening blast, a scooter, parked by the roadside, blew up firing metal fragments into the side of the jeep. Had it been any other vehicle, lives would almost certainly have been lost. But all six soldiers emerged unscathed; they were lucky to be in an armoured Rakshak, one of just 200 that the army uses in J&K.
