Re: Post-War Military Vehicles in India

A Shaktiman truck advertisement from the early 1990's. Vehicle factory, Jabalpur (VFJ) was asked to offer it's Jonga MUV and Shaktiman trucks for sale to the public to earn more resources. Unfortunately, these were outdated designs of the early 1960's and received a very lukewarm response from the public ,after such advertisements surfaced.
