Thank you for sharing this.

The donor vehicle seems to be Isuzu Dmax - good choice. It is rugged, spacious and powerful;

Coming to the conversion itself. The front end looks vulnerable to even stone pelting let alone bullets. I find it in explicable as to why there is not at least a bull bar in case vehicle has to be rammed.

I like the turret and firing ports.

@Kunal Biswas @abingdonboy

Can anyone please tell me the name of the armoured vehicle ?

DRDO will now experiment with new armor solutions involving Metal-Ceramic Sandwich Armor.
.
The ballistic experiment will consist of 0.5m x 0.5m Metal-Ceramic Armor Panels.
.
Here,
Metal = High Nitrogen Steel (HNS)
Ceramic = Silicon Carbide (SiC)

Could this be initial R&D to create a robust next generation Kanchan Armor meant for our FMBT?
.
Here's the specifications of both of the materials.

Fun fact: In the above photos of T-55s during 71 war, the gun barrel has a makeshift dummy fume extractor at the middle, even though the actual fume extractor can be seen near the muzzle. This was done so gunners could differentiate Indian T-55s from Pakistani Type 59s, which were Chinese built T-54s.

And the turret of the T-55 has hand rails around it because the WW2 Soviet tactics of "Tank Desant" or infantry riding on tanks was still relevant when it was designed.

Their is another, India use both T-54 and T-55, T-54 were in green and light-yellow camouflage, Where as T-55 were in green camouflage, Some rare co lour pictures ..

@Vinod DX9

Are those Browning M1919 30 Cals on the loaders hatch ?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Yes, Almost all the tanks during that period use browning 30cal and Bren LMG ..
