it's been two years since mahindra ASLV got their order, delivery time is 4 years. any updates ?

from 2 years ago, what's the point of posting this ?

Whap - Wheeled armoured platform. it's a platform. IPMV is a version of WhaP platform, there will be more versions based on WhaP platform.

until the beginning of this year, we didn't know that a version of WhaP called IPMV existed. these days i am not too bothered about versions and upgrades, as long as IA has clarity on what they want, industry will deliver. having domestic industry, frees up what otherwise are a lot of long...

U.S stryker is also STANAG level 2a. maybe they can be uparmoured, if need arises. there is a weight penalty on payload with up armouring as well.

power to weight, M4 will be ahead. TATA QRF kerb weight matches the number from it's promotion material.

Northern command

Cost : IPMV - 16 crores QRF - 1.86 crores M4 - 5 Crores.

if precedents are an indicator, the whole tender will fail if ATGM fails in the trails, then there will be re-tendering for vehicle separate, turret separate and atgm separate. 2031 will become 2041.

that order already given last year. don't remember when the delivery was supposed to start. LAMV is 2 tonne payload, ALSV is 1 tonne payload. https://www.rushlane.com/mahindra-lsv-govt-order-indian-army-12397545.html

two versions as per RFI, IA wants modularity in LAMV with RCWS and without. https://www.mod.gov.in/sites/default/files/rfi.pdf

they are probably coming back from North Tech defence expo

i think we can sum it up like this, IA had asked for a modular WHeeled Armoured Platform in their GSQR, they got it. public commentary on missing XYZ components is moot, because there are going to lots of variants based on this platform in coming decades. IPMV is showcasing the modularity.

there Is a recent DAC approval for GS (weight category not mentioned) vehicle procurement. we haven’t seen safari and Scorpio in western sector, perhaps Force Gurkha will replace gypsy. this is unless Tata and Mahindra team up and spoil the tender process.

JUST IN: Indian Army selects private sector firm OshoCorp Global to develop & supply auxiliary power units (APU) for T-72 & T-90 tanks. Overall program valued at $190 million for 3257 APUs.

May be it's too heavy... 11 KG... but then again new belt fed LMG is also 9.3 KG. then i remembered Negev LMG deal was also supposed to happen, whatever happened to that. :hehe: MoD is trolling us....

they’ll be replaced by OFB belt fed 7.62 LMG.
