TARRAR MPTV to be launched at IDEAS 2008

[XYON]

it only has 4 Tracked wheels ! Also on the sides it should have windows like in the Front !

Its not a 'tourist van' or an MRAP to have windows on all sides

TARRAR is 100% Pakistani by design and conception.....no Chinese involvement whatsoever!

 

[echo 1]

But we should at least have something to replace those toyota trucks that we are using which are more vonerable than anything else in our around. Troops getting shot before they even get off those things. At least take into consideration a 4X4 armored vechile like the Chinese QL-550

Here are the specs on it:

Crew: up to 4
Passenger: 7~8
Type: Wheeled, armoured
Weight: <7,000kg
Engine: 6-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel
Transmission: Mechanical
Dimension: Length: 5.20m; Height: 1.86m; Width: 2.25m
Cruising Range: N/A
Speed: Max road 120km/h
Weapon: 12.7mm machine gun

And that is also not a 'tourist van' ! Also I mean windows which can be closed with Armourshild from Inside !

So why has the Tarrar this big window (not really good armuored Window) ? The driver can only see to the front not right not left ? why not the old solution like this here ?

My friend, TARRAR is a different type of an armored vehicle for a different purpose (as defined in my posts above). Its NOT an MRAP! The driver not only has the front window (bullet proof) to see, but his main driving tool is the Combined DNV installed on the top of the TARRAR which given him a view of 120 degrees!

This vechile has saved numerous lives in Iraq. The US military faced many IEDs but with this heavy haller it really came through for the individual solider

Seen it on tv. Does it come with a DVD player?

It has weak top armour... And if you attack it from the front then you do not hit the soldiers but they can not run away. They should add something to solve that. Why do they not add cover for the wheels?

what is the next project after the completion of the project.

It does not have chain protection, no nebula throwers, no MG-3 as described of by epool ! Also I have read offten that Alkhalid have a 7.62mm Gun but I have never see this on Alkhalid Tank same by Tarrar......

It started as TARRAR on drawings and shop-floor and ended up being RAAD (I smell some VVIP interdiction)! Oh Well, a rose by any other name.......

The metal post in the center is NOT a MORTAR LAUNCHER! Its the base for the Baktar Shikan ATGW which they may have yet to put on the top. The guy is still painting the hull is testament to the speed with which they have displayed it at the venue.

RAAD will now be handed over to the Pakistan Army for full fledged desert, high temperature and other firing/ non-firing test and trials before the platform is approved for induction into the ranks of the Army

Isn't there a missile already by the name of Raad? They should have called it Urban Rhino. Catchy names spark interest hence high chance of export.

That is why I am still scratching my head as to what was the need to call it RAAD instead of an original TARRAR?

We certainly need some imagination while naming our products, enough with the AL-ZARRAR's, AL-KHALID's, RAAD's, SHAHEEN's and GHAURI's!

I agree we should stop recycling names!
