I think the turret is unmanned and the chassis might be from K-9 (Not sure on this part)
The hull is based on improved abhay IVF(that's running theory rn) and the turret seems to be an independent design with a new 40mm cannon(the cannon is most likely a foreign design being license produced)
A rare spotting. Two decades back, almost 700 of them were active.
IA also started using Ashok Leyland LBPV.
Production variant of NAMICA
What I am more excited about is the under development 30mm Naval Surface Gun.RCWS is going on every possible turret where they can mount it. See the 30mm turret dev req. If it fits, it sits
Nothing in particular. Only what is available in public domain.
IN and ICG want to have a 30mm Naval Surface Gun to replace their CRN-91 naval gun. So, a new 30mm naval surface gun will be developed. It is under 4th positive indigenisation list with effect from 2030 onwards.
It will be something similar to DS30M Mark 2 and SMASH.
Russia has developed similar kind of combat vehicle called terminator . They used it in Ukraine war . The chinese one carries 6 infantry as well .
