Indian Army Receives Final Delivery of Mine Protected Vehicles From Vehicle Factory Jabalpur

Defense News ,India :-  Vehicle Factory Jabalpur (VFJ), a part of India's Ministry of Defence, has finished delivering the last set of Mine Protected Vehicles (MPVs) to the Indian Army.

The MPVs are specially designed to protect soldiers in tough situations. They have a strong hull and cabin made of high-quality steel alloy, shaped like a "V" to deflect energy from mine blasts and other threats. This design also makes it easy to fix important parts like axles in the field.

The MPV provides top-notch protection for soldiers in dangerous areas. Its unique design helps it handle mine blasts and ballistic threats, keeping soldiers safe on the battlefield.

Powerful, Mobile, and Versatile

The MPV runs on a HA57 L135/5 turbo-charged and inter-cooled inline diesel engine, delivering 135 KW at 2400 rpm. It has a 4x4 drivetrain for rough terrain and better fuel efficiency, with an option to switch to 4x2.

Weighing 11,880 kg, it can carry a driver, co-driver, and up to 10 soldiers. Depending on the mission, it can be changed to carry a 20-liter drinking water tank.

Improved Security and Capability

"The timely delivery of these Mine Protected Vehicles is a big boost to the Indian Army's strength and abilities," said a Defence Analyst.

"These vehicles are crucial for keeping our soldiers safe in conflict areas. Successfully making and delivering them shows that India is getting better at making its own defense equipment."

Adding these MPVs shows that the Indian government is committed to updating its armed forces, making sure they have the right tools to succeed in any situation.
