    @bhramos, are you referring to the light green cylinder? I do not know. I suspect it might be a fire retardant or something like that.

    This is a coincidence. The other day I was thinking of a Gatling type system on a remote controlled turret. Does Poland have manufacturing facilities for the YakB-12.7 mm gun?

    What kind of engines to these Ukrainian vehicles use? For the KrAZ, do they use domestically made engines? I know Volat has tied up with some European company.

    Reminds me of the Vodnik. For many Indians, countries that were part of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and later, the USSR, are generalized under Russia.

    Thanks. You are right. That is not Mahindra. However, I am not sure if that is Casspir either. The photos of Casspir MPV variants I saw look different. What is it?
