Your source?

Wasn't privy to that information. Company is making last ditch attempt to sell it to the army today and tomorrow. If unsuccessful another design based on this prototype in the 6x6 category is in the works for which this prototype will be cannibalized.

I certainly hope that your "source" isn't this tweet which is a poorly paraphrased and misconstrued version of my post on this very thread (note time lol).

IMO the future of Cavalier's MRAP proposal might have been decided the day MVRDE was given the task to develop the 'Light Armed Vehicle Assault' (LAVA) platform.

Although the LAVA may not be a dedicated MRAP, new light armoured vehicle designs can have defensibility against mine and IED blasts. See, for example, the U.S. JLTV, Tumosan Pusat, Paramount Group Marauder and Mbombe 4, etc.

I wonder if Cavalier could take the Hamza MCV and re-model it into a conventional 8x8 AFV? Just make it look like any other 8x8 out there?

No plans for 8x8 AFV. Hamza wasn't able to gather any local interest. They are looking towards export market right now after which they will move on to other things.

Army is testing Hamza and yes we are interested in 8 X 8 Wheeled APC also and we are looking for that

You have been misinformed my friend. Hamza is NOT going through any tests whatsoever. Trust me. You should trust me on Hamza at least by now.

They are going under tests trust me on that I can vouch for it

This is where Hamza was for past 3 days. Standing in a hangar looking pretty for COAS. Definitely not undergoing any tests.


COAS says there will be 'no compromise' on country's defence

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa on Wednesday said "no compromise will be made" on the country's defence "irrespective of the constraints".

He made the remarks on a visit to Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT), Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said Wednesday.

HIT is a military industrial complex that manufactures, rebuilds and upgrades tanks, tank guns and armoured personnel carriers.

Gen Bajwa was briefed on ongoing and future HIT defence projects. "HIT has a history of contributions to strengthen [the] conventional defence capability of the country," the press release quoted him as saying.

The COAS was also quoted as asking the HIT Chairman Lt Gen Naeem Ashraf to expedite ongoing projects to ensure they are completed on time. He assured the Army's "full support" to the defence industry.

Hamza 6x6 to be revealed at BIDEC 2017.

Hamza 8x8 is no more (and therefore impossible that it is undergoing under any testing as claimed by some members here lol).

 

[Muhammad Omar]

IFV MARPS Patrol Vehicles will made here
