ADSL says it developed and supplied it to a Slovakian company known as Rolus (they literally have .sk domain in their main website ☠️) that's being extensively used by both Slovakian and Czech republic army. Screenshot_20260404_024831_Chrome.png

DRDO unveils Advanced Armoured Platforms (Tracked & Wheeled)

Posted On: 25 APR 2026 6:12PM by PIB Delhi

The Advanced Armoured Platforms (Tracked and Wheeled), designed and developed by Vehicles Research & Development Establishment, were unveiled by Secretary Department of Defence (R&D) & Chairman DRDO Dr Samir V Kamat at the premises of the DRDO’s laboratory in Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra on April 25, 2026. The platforms have been developed to meet the emerging operational requirements of the Defence Forces.

Both the platforms have been integrated with indigenously designed & developed 30 mm Crewless Turret, with advanced features to meet the mobility, fire power and protection requirements. Integrated with high power engine and automatic transmission, these platforms possess a high power to weight ratio, higher speed capabilities, gradient and obstacle negotiating capability, STANAG level 4 and 5 protection with modular blast and ballistic protection all around. Amphibian with improved water obstacle crossing capability by incorporating hydro jets provides operational flexibility.

The 30 mm crewless turret along with the 7.62 mm PKT gun is configured to launch Anti-Tank Guided Missiles as well. The base design has the capabilities to be configured for multiple roles. The indigenous content is to the tune of 65% with plans to increase it to 90%.

The manufacturing of the platforms has been carried out by two industry partners – TATA Advanced Systems Limited and Bharat Forge Limited supported by many MSMEs. This collaboration has resulted in strengthening the evolving defence ecosystem.

I forgot what this was supposed to be. A BMP replacement candidate? Or amphibious assault vehicle like the AAV. The tracked version looks awesome. Now after Zorawar's hull we have another candidate hull for a SPGMDs, if we ever feel like making one.

Most likely 2 different tracked hulls, one by bharat forge other by TATA.
