That 30 mm auto cannon gun is way better and more deadlier than the 50. caliber gun.

INDIA'S TRIALS FOR US-MADE STRYKER COMBAT VEHICLES IN LADAKH & DESERT REGIONS
India is set to carry out trials for US-made Stryker combat vehicles in Ladakh and deserts. The trials are part of India's plan to reequip its forces with Strykers, which will be customized and technologically configured for Indian terrain, including high-altitude areas like eastern Ladakh and Sikkim.
The proposed plan involves a limited purchase of the vehicles directly from the US through its Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. The Stryker project aims to enhance India's ground forces amid a tense border dispute between India and China. Sources in the defence establishment said the Army is looking to procure about 530 infantry combat vehicles (ICVs).
The Stryker armoured fighting vehicles will be used to replace aging Russian BMPs (infantry combat vehicles) and will be equipped with anti-tank weapons, as well as tasked with reconnaissance and command roles. The vehicles come in over two dozen variants, including infantry carriers and medical and engineering support vehicles.
One reason the Stryker is under consideration, according to sources, is that Indian vendors are unable to meet the qualitative requirements (QR). However, the Stryker also has its limitations.
In case India zeroes in on the Strykers, there will be limited off-the-shelf purchase under the US’s foreign military sales (FMS) initiative. It will then be followed by joint production in India by means of a joint venture, reported ThePrint.
If the Stryker vehicle is finalised, sources said its capabilities will have to be altered to suit high-altitude areas such as eastern Ladakh, where tensions along the Line of Actual Control have been ongoing between India and China for the past four years.
One of the big drawbacks of the Stryker is that it’s not an amphibious vehicle. Another source said that each vehicle will have to be terrain- and weather- specific.
Sources said the decision will be taken progressively after a “holistic analysis”, which will include an evaluation of the technical capabilities such as mobility, terrain negotiation in various conditions, protection to troops as well as lethality parameters.
Asked about the wheeled armoured platforms (WhAP) developed by Tata and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), sources said these serve different purposes.
They explained that the WhAP cannot be compared to ICVs. They claimed that the product does not offer firepower, a sight system or even a fire-control system. However, it should be noted that the WhAP has several versions added and has showcased its capabilities with multiple turrets, sight system and a fire control system.
In addition to this, the Army is also looking to procure 105 wheeled armoured personnel carriers (APCs) for recce and support. The Request for Information (RFI) for this is under formulation.
The need for such vehicles was felt during the military standoff with China in Ladakh in the summer of 2020. The Indian Army had already started trials for the Infantry Protected Mobility Vehicle, an armoured personnel carrier that can be used for swift patrols and quick induction of troops for various missions like reconnaissance and offensive operations.
India and the US are in advanced negotiations to co-produce the latest generation of Stryker armoured infantry combat vehicles. This three-phase project includes initial purchases, joint production in India, and co-development of future versions, supporting India's "Atmanirbhar Bharat" mission.
The Indian Army is also considering other options for armoured infantry combat vehicles, including the indigenous Tata Wheeled Armoured Protection (WhAP) and the American Humvee.

AVNL TO LICENSE-PRODUCE RUSSIAN TYPHOON-K MRAP VEHICLES FOR INDIAN ARMY
According to Rishav Gupta on July 4, 2024, India's Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited (ANVL) is set to license produce the Russian K-53949 Typhoon-K, a 4x4 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle developed by Remdiesel, a subsidiary of KamAZ.
The Typhoon-K is a family of armoured vehicles developed under the Typhoon MRAP program, which is part of the Russian Federation Armed Forces' plan to produce military vehicles. The Typhoon-K vehicles are designed to provide integrated logistics support to combined arms and special units, including peacekeeping formations, in various environments. They can be used for troop transport, carrying personnel and military cargo, and can serve as the basic chassis for mounting various technical systems and weapons.
The Typhoon-K vehicles offer enhanced armouring, including mine protection of the chassis bottom against antipersonnel, anti-tank, and improvised explosive devices. They feature special seats and other design features to reduce the negative effects on the crew and troops in the event of an explosive device detonation. The vehicles provide a high level of ballistic protection through the use of sandwich armour consisting of inner conventional armour steel and new-generation outer ceramic armour.
The K-53949 Typhoon-K 4x4, could become a potential candidate to fulfil the army's armoured vehicle requirements, competing with the Mahindra ASLV and the potentially forthcoming TATA LAMV. The Indian Army is set to acquire 800 Light Armoured Multipurpose Vehicles (LAMVs) to meet the needs of the Mechanised Infantry and Armoured Corps. Companies such as Ashok Leyland, Kalyani Strategic Systems Ltd, TATA, and Mahindra have submitted bids. The LAMVs are expected to feature high mobility, modern protection, and the ability to carry significant payloads, all requirements potentially fitted for the Typhoon-K.
Recently, a contract worth ₹1,056 crore ($126.5 million) was signed with Mahindra Defence Systems for 1,300 Armoured Light Specialist Vehicles (ALSVs). These vehicles will be delivered over four years and will be used to carry medium machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and anti-tank guided missiles. The ALSVs offer comprehensive protection against small arms fire and IEDs. The Indian Army has also ordered Kalyani M4 4x4 armoured vehicles for emergency procurement. These vehicles are designed for high-altitude and harsh terrain operations, featuring advanced protection and mobility. These acquisitions are part of a broader strategy to modernize and indigenize the Indian Army's vehicle fleet, which includes the production of Russian vehicles under license by AVNL.
The Indian company has previously manufactured several Russian-designed military vehicles, including the T-90 Bhishma Main Battle Tank.
Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited (ANVL) is an Indian state-owned defence company that primarily manufactures armoured fighting vehicles, main battle tanks, and their engines for the use of the Indian Armed Forces and foreign militaries. It was established in 2021 as part of the restructuring and corporatization of the Ordnance Factory Board into seven different Public Sector Undertakings. ANVL's headquarters is located in Avadi, Chennai.
ANVL's product range includes various armoured vehicles and battle tanks such as Arjun, T-90, BMP-2 Sarath, Vijayanta, Kartik BLT, M-46 Catapult, and T-72 Ajeya. They also manufacture stallion trucks. The company is engaged in the technology and telecom industry.
