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.

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.

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

WER'WOLF Mk II Modular Mine Protected Vehicle



BEML Mine Protected Vehicle is used in transporting personnel quickly across minefield. The vehicle is with armoured protection all around including underbelly, so that when a mine is exploded under the vehicle, only the tyre which has gone over the mine will be thrown out / damaged and can be replaced by another tyre assembly and carry on across the mine field and take the troops to the other side. It can also be used as a pilot vehicle to clear the mines so that non protected vehicles can follow the vehicle without damage by the mines. This makes the vehicle safe lane for other vehicles.
