The Gurkha's water wading capacity is seriously impressive! Saw one in action during floods last year - these machines are absolute tanks. Great choice for our forces.

More power to Make in India! 👏 Does anyone know if these will be used for border patrols? The mountainous terrain specs sound perfect for our northern borders.

The article mentions the Gurkha LSV - does this mean these new vehicles will have similar strike capabilities? Or are these more for transport purposes?
