TATRAS have been used in all the roles by the Indian Armed Forces since the 70's. The initial inductees were all Czech-built. After indigenous production commenced, TATRAS can be seen in civilian use also, mostly as dumpers in the mining industry. IMO the test have been done with long ago, unless it is a a new variant of drive-train etc. Externally, its pretty much unchanged.
