They are old and will be replaced.

Maybe IA will order TATA Kestrel.

my humble advice to you on this forum never ever say anythings that humiliates chinese,there products or get into coversation specially regarding LCA Vs JF17 then you will have a great time :cheers:

Your advice goes into vain, for now.
 
At least our country put a target toilet for all by 2019

10 crore toilets to be constructed by 2019: Govt - The Times of India

The dirty truth: 41 million Pakistanis without toilets - Blogs - DAWN.COM

Your country set any target ?

By the way why some pakistani obsessed with indian toilets and s**ts !

you are seriously a Joke.... :D

Pakistan ranked fifth in the world for water and sanitation whereas India ranked at 92nd place.

Google the study conducted by The Water Institute.

TOKYO (Reuters) - In January, a top U.S. Marine general visited Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan to look at a prototype of an amphibious assault vehicle that could one day be a key pillar in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push to sell weapons abroad.

Using engines adapted from the main battle tank the company makes for Japan's military and new water jet propulsion technology, the full-size prototype is undergoing pool tests, although it is in the early stages of development and production could be years off.

Nevertheless, the maker of the wartime Zero fighter plane is eyeing overseas sales after Abe lifted a decades-old ban on arms exports in April last year as part of his more muscular security agenda, two Japanese defense industry sources said.

Mitsubishi designers believe the prototype shown to U.S. Marine Corps Pacific commander Lieutenant General John Toolan will be more maneuverable and faster across the water than the 40-year-old AAV7 amphibious assault vehicle used to carry U.S. marines onto beaches from naval ships anchored offshore, the sources said.

The AAV7 is built by the U.S. unit of Britain's BAE Systems.

The prototype's engines in particular could be fitted onto other armored vehicles, the sources added.

"It's an opportunity for Mitsubishi Heavy to tap overseas markets for its engine technology," said one of the sources, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Mitsubishi Heavy wants to build an amphibious armored vehicle that can move through water at 20 to 25 knots (37 to 46 km per hour) compared to the more than 7 knots (13 km per hour) reached by the AAV7, said the sources.

The real question is will it be equal or better than the The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV), formerly known as the Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle.

Kestrel is no AAV,in fact BMP-2 can't possibly classified as an AAV,I've never seen them to cross choppy waters.India mainly uses Landing ships to to send troops in the shore.and we don't even know if Kestrel has amphibious capabilities,or if yes,then it'll be limited.AAVs are different vessels than these Armoured Carriers,which can swim through choppy waters,mainly in sea.

BMD-4M and BTR-MD might be suitable. The BMD-4 is fully amphibious combat vehicle and can fire all it's weapons afloat at sea worthiness 2. BTR-MD is the APC version. Contrary to BMP-1/2, it has ample buoyancy reserve. And 2 waterjets.

Or get the MTVL (stretched 6 roadwheel M113) and slap on an Arisgator kit.

TATA DRDO KESTREL have amphibious capability but it would be full or limited that would be question.

Yes but Kestrel may replace BTR 80.

Interesting, the top five performing countries in the 2015 WASH Performance Index rankings are El Salvador, Niger, Egypt, Maldives, and Pakistan and so you want to say that these countries are better than switzerland, japan etc.This index is a improvement of performance of water and sanitation access than it appear and not some thing like hygiene standard.Common sense are not common among pakistani's
