No, the force LSV is a light strike vehicle. These competition above was for light support vehicles which remains outstanding, the FM LSV is an entirely different requirement

Not really. This isn’t replacing all gypsys- that will be done by 4-5 different vehicles. this is just to replace the Gypsy in LSV role with SFs and a few other units. In LSV role the machine needs to be deployable from air (underslung and internally) and be able to travel deep into enemy...

Suspicions of what? Indian MOD and Indian defence companies are TERRIBLE at PR, it’s as simple as that

Not very TFTA as some would say. A modest upgrade on the open top gypsy it would seem

Yes the TATA/AL/Mahindra vehicles are for the light support vehicle role, the Light Strike Vehicle role that Force motors has won is for a VERY specific role basically replacing those open top gypsys used by SF and recon teams in the deserts that can be underslung or even carried inside a...

They do have wipers of course, they are mounted at the top of the windscreen though:

Yes, this is the Sherpa "Light" which has been seen in service with the NSG earlier: Each NSG hub has 2x Sherpa "Light" and 1x Sherpa 2 ladder assualt platforms: This particular vehicle does appear to be brand new though (steps covered in protective wrap), maybe it's...

Very much active and in service; belongs to NSG.

Sure, if in the role of a troop carrier armoured plates can/will be added to the rear section. I'm 100% sure that TATA is only offering this design because it conforms to what the IA wants so I'm sure the IA is looking to get a multi-use vehicle so I wouldn't be concerned. Obviously this...

Yes, that's a bit of a weird feature on the TATA design, I'm not too sure why that arrangement would be of use. The rear section is not protected at all: this will allow the LSV to be used in a multitude of roles and allows for a high degree of modularity on this one platform, there...

Nano: Kite: Hexa: Nexon:

That is just disruptive camo that auto makers put on all their prototypes.

TATA LSV undergoing cold weather trails:

I think the TATA LSV could be modelled along similar lines to the JLTV (in terms of its modularity):

For sure, if this LSV tender is finally succesful along with the FICV going to a private player (please not OFB) then the defence service's vehicle requirements will be fully taken care of by the private industry within the next decade as these two programs will require private industry to...

Speaking purely about the TATA LSV: I like the approach TATA has taken, the front cab is armoured (should easily be able to fit 4 occupents+ 1 gunner) but there is an unarmoured covered area at the rear, this will allow the LSV to be used in a multitude of roles and allows for a high...

That is the IA way..... Anyway, these LSVs will be ready for trails by the end of the year, not 10 years time.

Pune is an automotive hub, right? + hope to see more in-house R&D projects and more specialist vehicles being developed in the future. India is a giant in the auto sector but has next to know depth in high-end auto engineering.

Land Rover will go against TAMO even though TATA owns LR?

What's most interesting is this: Appears not to be the TATA LSV afterall, wonder what ^ is, perhaps it is a Mahindra LSV afterall getting ready for the same LSV tender for the IA?
