Those Takshak LATCs look really good. I wish they were available for export. We could use half-a-dozen plus a dozen Rakshaks.

Are my eyes deceiving me or are there two mounts ? A BRDM-2 Striker with a quad Konkurs system and a forward mounted single launcher?

Is there a video for this? Looks really cool!

Thank you! Was it the most recent one done by Jaitley? I saw one recently that covered the T-90 - 69.5% by component and the BLT T-72 - 99% by component. Can't locate any on the T-72 yet.

Does anyone know the indigenous % by content and by value of the T-72 and T-90?

Definitely Indian Churchill. 2nd Indep Armoured Brigade was equipped with the type. 1 Churchill Mk.VII with "Crocodile" flamethrowers regiment, 1 Churchill Mk.VIII with 95mm CS howitzer regiment and 1 Churchill Mk.VII without flamethrowers. They were phased out in 1955.

Other than one or two that have appeared in photos, did this enter large-scale service?

It wasn't M-113 (and some did see Indian service with the UN - 63 Cav). IA didn't even formal put the systems on trial.

Wowsers! I'd seen all those before but Wow! Love those things! Wonder why we never procured more for IS operations? I would suspect that the ATGM single launcher might be fitted if the BRDMs were used for scouting in a wartime role.

Thanks guys. Any more photos of BRDMs in service?

Any of SKOT OT-64 still around or all in the junkyard too?

How many BRDMs are left in service? I thought only 110 were purchased.

Umm... the ACs - need for APUs were the problem on the T-72. The tank's internal volume is limited. Space for an APU would be at a premium. In the original Arjun, the APU hampered movement. Hope that is resolved.

I agree or fence them off. You know like the Centurion not far from Manekshaw Centre in Delhi?

There was some talk of cooling vests being issued to crews back in the 1990s. Blocks of ice are put in front of the cooling fans in the T-72 (well it was done for the Vijayanta)

Protection lid is rounded circle on the roof by hatch? Sorry, neither my eyesight nor recognition skills are great.

Thanks. That I see clearly. But now it seems more have the TI? Isn't it Alpha Tech saying 1000+ supplied?

Relative to the searchlight where is it?

Does the T-72 upgrade have thermal imaging sights?

India does not follow Russian model in this regard I am told.
