Just a couple of days back, we reported about the Tata Safari Storme GS800 that is being showcased at the Defence Expo 2012, New Delhi. Today, we bring to you details about the arch rival Mahindra’s take on the armoured vehicle for Indian Army. Mahindra has showcased the Rakshak Plus- A modified Scorpio that offers Level-3 protection at the DEFEXPO.

The Rakshak, unlike the Storme, is for immediate retaliation during a terrorist attack. The Rakshak Plus has a 600kg of payload capacity and also comes with a PTZ surveillance camera. This camera offers a 3600view with a zooming capacity of 500 meters.

[Kunal Biswas]

A Modified BMP without turret will do ..

 

[Chinmoy]

IMO Mahindra Marksman would be a good choice for its agility and size.

 

[aliyah]

put some steel plate on windows of Scorpio or tata safari n done. who will invest in designing . useless companies think army is full of corrupt fools just like civil government and they can sell any scrap

 

[bengalraider]

What @Kunal Biswas said, well that or an old OT-64/NEW TATA KESTREL.

 

[abingdonboy]

@WolfPack86 for what role are you talking about exactly?



Alas, the NSG has gone for the Sherpa:

A good choice- well protected, good horsepower, air mobile (in C-130Js crucially) able to carry 10 assualters inside and 6-8 on the outside= perfect assualt vehicle.
