Modernized KamAZ-43269 "Vistryel" - Vodnik in a new avatar?
KamAZ has entered the market a little too late. There are a variety of Armoured 4x4 in service provided at a wide range of cost by different auto makers ranging from Denel (Caspir) to BAE Land systems.

Would be interesting to know what engine this beast uses...

I quite like the pic, but frankly that rcws (Tactical Remote Turret (TRT) - feels out of place. Quite a humongous thing actually.. & BAE have been showing that RCWS mounted on all types of vehicles even a BMP. Here's a picture of the same RCWS mounted on a BMP



Another one just showing the RCWS (25mm Bushmaster + a 7.6 coax)

I have news for you buddy!

Georgia is in Asia. Anything south of the Caucasian Mountains, or east of the Ural Mountains or Ural River, is Asia. :thumb:

I have a question which is relevant to our country.
Has the Indian army decided on the replacement for its light personnel carriers.
What is the status of Mahindra axe and its competitors, or is it that no progress is being made!
I belive some one out here would be able to give me a update regarding the project.

Thanks for ur reply sir!
Hope there will be a word on Mahindra axe soon.
We really have a lot of catching work to do and our army is the most outdated as compared to IAF & IN.
