This is an interesting thread,

Heres' something you don't see daily on your roads, I've seen this pass by a million times to navy nagar in Bombay.

YouTube - Indian Army has chosen the Tatra 816 truck for Smerch

Rocks, and wants you desire one. Paris Dakar is a drive to Bandra in this one.

Here's some more

YouTube - Tatra T815-7 Extreme Product Range Intro

sadde khet waste. Kitthe jaana ?

Its a missile launcher platform used by the Indian Army.

the 10x 10 Tatra.

great photos and videos posted here, keep them coming!

looks like 4x4 became 6x6 and 8x8 and maybe 10x10!

ok here is anyother photo of full usage of 4x4 by our forces.

Something more interesting is the tatra has air cooled engine & the complete suspension is independent, Apart from BEML & tatra has a production plant in Hosur,

Hey amit
I have seen the powersteering on Pushkin's jeep. Infact that is the way they do it in mayapuri.
But in the army version the Bolero P/S is installed, which I think is much bigger than the KOYO ones available in the market. i just wanna see how it looks???

Is the silver and red thing in this post a P/S or smething else?? Its right on the front bumper next to the left fender???

Hi Harjeev,

I don't think the Army Jeeps come with Power Steering. There is a Bolero Unit with a much higher ratio which improves the steering comfort a lot. I think this unit comes standard on the Bolero and the Pik Up range. Arka has done this modification on his MM540 with some detail pictures in the thread.

I do not have any pics, but in Leh city I regularly saw a military green Tata sumo 4x4. It had the labels "On Indian Army trial" on the sides, and I think the Army was evaluating it on a trial basis for use up there.
From the body it looked like a spacio done up with a 4WD and bullet proof panes with holes for guns

Monkeyboy4u · 23rd November 2009, 15:09

nice pics Sir Alec, I feel the Safari is less frequently used in the Army !

There are four Spacios in Coonoor with the Army here. IIRC, its been here a while now. See it quite often.
