Friend, I am sorry to say that there is no evidence of such claim other than a wishful thinking that you and I have. there are a handful of MARVs for sure but I have'nt heard them to be more then 10 or more.
them alone are not the answer to protect our convoys and patrols against the terrorist Ambushes or raids on enemy hideouts. we have seen videos of attacks on our forces and bases over 2 decades, the results are always very discouraging for us bar few exceptions where the terrorists were neutralized after 2nd or 3rd tier of security but convoys have been sitting ducks.
we need motivated and trained personnel. armored vehicles at disposal for sure but air support in shape of drones or gunships should be at hand too.
and in case of lacking both the two (no air support, no MARVs) , at least a response force that is able to come to rescue and also defeat the bait/ trap setup by the terrorists in the path.
we are 100% justified in mourning the lack of air support or MARVs and Toyota Hilux death traps but we miss out the fact how our troops under attack hold out, the ones that are not immediately killed. I have seen them bewildered and confused and no relief in sight even for hours. that has boiled blood as well as cry with pain at the same time.
the demand is enormous and a best possible mix has to be found. to have at least 2 or more MARVs in the convey that can repel the attack. the enemy is using remote controlled detonations so obviously they will wait till the flimsy toyota is near the IED but if the convoy is udner enemy fire than MARV can take the beating while the soldiers take cover and return fire and buy enough time for the relief to arrive.
things have not changed for past 20 years maybe our wishes will come true one day.
