Looks like a SIGINT aircraft
Is it from DRDO ?

It is an airborne battlefield and ground surveillance aircraft based on bombardier global aircraft. It is for airborne ground surveillance , battle management , command and control etc

The was a requirement for 6 i think

Drdo is working with Raytheon according to old reports

Disappointing......................................................

 

[Kuntal]

How did they get it? Did they ask for it from you?

I modelled it based on a simple sketch provided by porky kicker.

Damn, the private sector gotta save the day now, because that's a piece of turd. Doesnt even look modern let alone futuristic.

That's nothing yet. It may actually get chosen off it clears trials. Based on BMP-2 it'll have logistic commonality worth existing setup.
Looks like one of those Chinese ones.

Atleast they added a lot of features... which can't be their development. It's not called Abhay Mark 2 either, means DRDO may still pitch another.

Not as bad as the wheeled ICV they showed in the previous def expo, but look like it's going to fall apart. Knowing OFB it'll be expensive and production would go slow for a BMP remake.

The latest Chinese models look a hell of a lot better, even their export models.

Which one is that? I thought the only WhAP at Defexpo 2018 was Kestrel.

I cant find an image of the OFB wheeled ICV, but it is so fucking bad that you'd rather not see it. It's basically a BMP with truck grade wheels. Something Syrian rebels would make.

middle tire looks like it doesnt have enough air

Are the guys at OFB retarded? The FICV is a BMP2 with a different turret. WTH! What kind of incompetent fools are they hiring, the entire top mgmt of these PSUs needs to be purged and replaced.

OFB is at it again LMAO.

 

[Tuco]

That's fugly. But it will serve a purpose though. It will safeguard other Indian exhibits from boori nazar. Dhrishti gombe! lol

 

[Bleh]

Basically all OFB-made IFVs.

Ok, that's enough wailing!

Let's have a look (It's ok, the thing slowly gets easier on eye).

Looks like they tried to go the BMP-3 way. It's too different from BMP-2, I don't think the existing ones can be modified to this. Not longer, but fattened... both hull & turret.

Should have considerable weight increase over original platform. Top speed still 80km/hr, so maybe a new engine, which could be why they expanded the front.

7 wheels, but hard to tell but front could have added composite armour, the turret too.

Video says this has STANAG-4 (.50) on sides, didn't mention frontal protection. BMP-2 has that on front & STANAG-2 (7.62×39) on sides.
FICV should have STANAG-6 (30mm) on front & top though. Also capability to take add-on slat & sideskirts.

The fuel tank cum rear doors for replaced by a single ramp-door.

Video mentions it firing APFSDS, HE, HE(incendiary), HE Frag & proximity airburst. Automatic grenade-launcher too, but I couldn't find it. If someone can, do point it out.

So the kalayani vehicle is a JV with a South African company, disappointed I was absolutely going nuts over it.

What else did you thought that chetoos sellers are Boeing , Lockheed Martin even they take govt help :biggrin2:.
