This border is quite peaceful as compared to other deployments in Africa, so there is no need for any heavy armour.
I also think that UN force is there just as an observer.
That deployment is seperating Hezbollah from Israel. There is plenty that can go wrong there. Even French peacekeepers got bombed by Israel there some years back.

From an article
"The second project, sanctioned by Mehta, was ‘Development of Armoured Personal Carrier (APC) 6X6 on September 25, 2017 worth Rs 49.49 crore (TD/17-18/VRD 67). The projected was pursued aggressively by Gupta.
- The third project, ‘Development of Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) CBRN was sanctioned by Mehta on November 8, 2017, worth Rs 39.955 Crore."

Two projects for same purpose??
How they would be different from each other?
And how 'WhAP' can be developed again when it is already developed??

Russian firm UVZ and Punj Corporation Pvt Ltd (PCPL) have tied up to undertake repair and maintenance of T-72 and T-90 tank engines and radiators in India.
UralVagonZavod (UVZ), which makes main battle tanks, has also appointed PCPL as its sole representative to undertake the repair and maintenance work in India, the companies said in a joint statement today.
An agreement to this effect has been signed between both the companies in Chennai earlier this month, it said.
Indian Army and the Indian Ordnance Board would be able to meet the critical material and logistics supply gaps for T-72 and T-90 Tanks through Indian Rupee procurement.
Awadhesh Mishra, CEO of PCPL told that this agreement would result in an expected business of around Rs 1,000 crore every year as there is a big backlog of repair work of these tanks in India.
The UVZ has said that for all the maintenance and repair activities undertaken by the PCPL including supply of required spares, the UVZ would provide full technical support, personnel and ensure conformance to quality.
It said that India has over more than 4,000 tanks and its serviceability and maintenance has been a major cause of concern.

Which round was that? 3BM15? That's very old one. I don’t know if even it was made in India

ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft autocannon mounted on TATRA Truck

Any idea if they transporting the gun or it is used mounted for firing....

I always imagined ZU-23 on something like Tata Xenon category vehicle, not such a large truck.

Well, I think you got the idea from Syrian war. But in case of India, Tatra is a better bet for a moving ZU-23.
