^^^ He is in a Jungle/Forest type environment. Considering the terrain and he has to walk miles and miles in intense humidity and heat the weight of the Helmet, Elbow Pads, Gloves will be the end of him. Heat Exhaustion is just as deadly as a bullet.

Do a simple image search of Navy Seal Jungle or SAS jungle.

I can bet you that he doesnt even have body Armour on him.

As a prelude to Bicentenary Celebrations of 9th Gorkha Rifles, a team of the First Batallion of Nine Gorkha Rifles, scaled Mount Stok Kangri (6153 meters) on 30 September 2016. The peak located in Hemis National Park is the highest peak of the Stok Ranges of the Himalayas in the Ladakh Region. The team was earlier flagged off from New Delhi by Colonel 9th Gorkha Rifles on 9th September 2016.

I would assume primary reason would be posturing, secondary would be that when two of America's primary competitors(Russia and China) are in one place you don't take chances.

They need to be more worried about terrorists than America.
Killing head of the states is only complicated by the wars that might follow.
Otherwise it's not beyond American capacity

Still old turret? No new turret installed?
not only old tourret ..
but also box type shape..

which is .. sign of ..
not protection against... Rocket propelled grenade.. and shape charged weapons..

this kind of shape vehicle stop after WW2 Start..

Russian... T-34 ..is first tank which used sloped armour against german Panzer tank..
due to heavy and box shape panzer was a blunder...

so hope indians quickly change this ....

Do that shots on turret penetrated? what type of rounds is used for testing that turret?
What would be the width of that steel on turret?
