Gypsy to become a strike vehicle

The Ordnance Factory Tiruchirapalli (OFT) has received a request from the army to fix anti-aircraft guns on Gypsy jeeps. The OFT is confident of fulfilling this demand for a 'jury-rigged' strike vehicle from the Indian Army.

What happened to this

It isn't light.

Please read the link.

Army in absence of light strike vehicle wants a juggard that you see in Syria or such countries where rebels have mounted .50 cal or heavier HMG on the pick-up truck.

But, here Gypsy is the vehicle on which 12.7 mm AA gun from OFB will be mounted.

Something like this

The above is very crude design, OFB product hope fully will be better designed.

Gypsy king would be too small for mouning a Heavy machine gun ,they might have to modify the chassis to get it fit into the small space

I don't know what is the physical appearance of the verb 'fc*k'. So, cannot concur with you.

Next time, try to be a bit more explanatory in your posts.

Ashok Leyland's Colt is probably the most refined product being offered. It is a direct license make of Panhard's derivatives of Peugeot P4, namely PVP, and VPS family of vehicles/chassis in service with French armed forces.

Army revives interest in Light Specialist Vehicle

February 2, 2015: Unable to bring to fruition a 6 year quest for a light specialist vehicle, the Army plans to announce afresh its interest in procuring an undisclosed number of a common Light Specialist Vehicle (LSV) for all arms in a 3,500-kg unladen weight class category with a payload capacity of 900-1200 kg. The Army had originally expressed its interest in such vehicles back in August 2010. The Army has stipulated in its information request that the LSV needs to be capable of performing reconnaissance and patrol roles for all arms, provide space and cross mobility in all terrains (including high altitude and deserts) to small parties/teams (approximately six) and operately independently in the battle field. The Army has so far been given an opportunity to try out a series of LSVs both Indian and foreign- made. Indian contenders are likely to include the Mahindra Axe and Tata LSV, while the foreign offerings include the Defender series from Land Rover. Trials will be conducted across terrain in three different theatres since the selected vehicles are likely to be purchased in large numbers for use across arms. Variants of the LSVs with weapons fitment capabilities will also be incorporated once the tender is finalised this year. Sources say that the size of the order also means it would make eminent sense to purchase a vehicle developed and built in India to the Army's specifications. There is a possibility that the requirement may be clubbed with additional similar requirements by the Home Ministry.

Nissan Patrol (Jonga) was a much preferred vehicle over Gypsy variants when performance was matched, but it was not comfortable.

Good that the IA wants vehicles that are powerful and can operate in rugged terrain, steep incline, high altitude etc.
