6 stupendous made-in-India military vehicles
There’s a charm about the Military, it’s men and their paraphernalia, which is beyond explanation. Among their entire impedimenta, the military vehicles are one big thing that sets them a class apart. These machines are made to perform some heavy-duty tasks, and that’s what makes them so stupendous.
Therefore, we bring you a list of six military vehicles that are made-in-India.
Ashok Leyland Mine Protected Vehicle: The MPVs are specifically built to protect its occupants from land mines. This MPV can accommodate 10 personnel excluding the driver and one front passenger. It is powered by the Neptune range of inline 6 cylinder turbo diesel engines, available in two states of tune – 230 Bhp-800 Nm and 360 Bhp-1400 Nm
Mahindra Axe: Although, it is not yet a part of the Indian Military’s garage, the Axe is designed for both combat and non-combat purposes. Under the hood, a 2.7 liter-5 cylinder turbo diesel engine from Mercedes Benz puts out 172 Bhp and 340 Nm. A 5 speed manual gearbox and 4-wheel drive transfer case are offered
Mahindra Marksman: The Mahindra Marksman is essentially a sniper squad on wheels. It is heavily bullet-proofed that will protect its occupants against 7.62 x 51mm SLR, 7.62 x 39 mm AK-47/56 and 5.56 INSAS bullets, and hand grenades too
Ashok Leyland Super Stallion 8X8: The Stallion range of troop carriers are very popular in the Indian army, with 65,000+ vehicles doing army duty. The Super Stallian 8x8 is uitable to conquer a wide range of terrains. It is powered by a turbo diesel engine with 360 Bhp and 1400 Nm on tap
