Providing further boost to ‘Make in India’, Ministry of Defence (MoD) signed a contract with Mahindra Defence Systems Ltd (MDSL) for supply of 1,300 Light Specialist Vehicles to the Indian Army, at a cost of Rs 1,056 crore, in New Delhi on March 22, 2021. The induction of vehicles is planned to be completed in four years.


The Light Specialist Vehicle is a modern fighting vehicle and will be authorised to various fighting units for carriage of Medium Machine Guns, Automatic Grenade Launchers as well as Anti-tank Guided Missiles.


The Light Specialist Vehicle is indigenously designed and developed by MDSL. These combat vehicles are extremely agile with all round protection against small arms fire and will assist small independent detachments which are required to operate this weapon platform in the operational area.


This is a flagship project showcasing the indigenous manufacturing capabilities of the defence industry and will add another milestone to the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan’ and ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Government.

Do we have any data on total requirement of such vehicles? 1300 sounds like pretty good number. Also, was just watching a video of Tata LAMV, personally thought that it was a bit better in electronics dept + armour, but this one is great too.

1300 is much less order.
China has got 3500 afv and pak has got 9600 afv.
Indian Army only has 10000 afv.
We need order in huge numbers in order to fill up this gap

 

[lcafanboy]

Drdo floating test range should look like this. With two missile tracking and instruments ships to support it and Dr Kalam island to be used to fire enemy missile.
Good time ahead for us.
