Any update on the FICV program? Were the DRDO, TATA etc. designs evaluated by IA?

I cam across this interesting but dated article on the SAAG website. It's an article by Subhash Kapila about the relevance about India's armored units. He argues for replacing them with Air Cavalry Brigades, since as per him Armored units are of limited use in the geographical terrain of the Sub continent's border regions.

I don't know if I agree with him, but what struck me is that this call for mating air based systems with land based systems creates creates (or is supposed to create) highly mobile brigade level formations suitable for surprise offensive manouvres. Is this not similar to COLD START?

Utter nonsense...... does the author even know how easy it easy to bring down a chopper.... it would have made more sense if we use the choppers to lift the tanks and put them on the battle field few Km away. that is what army aviation wing should do...effectively keeping the enemy guessing from where the attack wud come.

Are you saying there currently up to 16 wheel armored vehicles with all wheels powered?

Most I have seen in a truck is 6X6.
