Hunky / Tuffy
With changing trends in guerilla warfare tactics used by insurgent groups it is necessary for the troops to contain a threat with multi-role armoured vehicles. For troops deployed in counter-insurgency and security operations in the Northern and North-Eastern commands, bullet and splinter-proof vehicles have become the need of the day. Keeping this in view, for the first time Corps of EME of the Indian Army has developed two bullet-proof vehicles that are also equipped with latest communication system, night vision devices and wide range of fire power.

Both Hunky and Tuffy are ergonomically designed air-conditioned vehicles to accommodate six and four-member crew respectively. While Hunky, the medium bullet-proof vehicle, has a protection against small arms, splinters and IEDs, Tuffy, the lighter version, has a Swedish bullet-proof shield against fire from a distance of 10 metres. Both of the vehicles have splinter-proof glasses in the windows and windscreens and have sliding firing ports for firing of personal weapons. A variety of weapons ranging from LMGs, MMGs and missiles can be fitted on a mount which has a 360 degree traverse on both the vehicles. Hunky, developed by 505 Army Base Workshop, Delhi Cantonment, can store provisions in sliding racks that operate with feather touch. The concept can surely give an added edge to the troops in tough terrain as versatility and comfort has been a key area of emphasis in developing these vehicles.

Hey, is it possible for you to post the pics as I can't view the links. And is it true that at A&N a huge amphibious school is being set up?

And in regards to large number of camos, yes but the armed forces/CAPFs are in transition mode and will soon homogenise themselves. IA has their own camo, IAF uses IA camo, IN has their own (various) camos and CAPFs have their own (individual) camos. They also have different camos for different environments and missions.

don't have a clue with regards to amphibious warfare school in A&N but sure as hell its gonna be the home base for indian navy's Expeditionary Force the new camos whose pictures i hav posted is gonna be the standard camo for the navy's new Expeditionary Force/marines the plans to induct new lpd/lhds is a parts of raising indias marine force only albeit a smaller one in terms of numbers as compared to us marines but no less deadly
I will soon be posting new pics of marcos's new world class combat vest based along the lines of usa's iotv except lighter much much lighter due to the use of the modular ceramic plate which is backed with a shield made of Spectra, a material up to 40% stronger than Kevlar to trap any fragments of either plate or projectile and prevent them from injuring the wearer its also very light extremely light will soon post this pics soon also army has no plans to get new digital camos though it has a jv with flectarn to develop combat gears to be absorbed in F-INSAS programme which is more and more likely looking as being another failure interms of keeping with the current time schedule
