Urgent Problems are Communications and Transport :
1.Need more wireless communications systems at Section level and below, best if possible for every soldier. In majority cases ,Wireless sets are distributed at platoon level which binds 30 soldiers together for orders and reduces tactical efficiency of operating in smaller teams of 4-5 men.
2. A 4- 5 Seater General purpose bullet proof/ IED proof transport vehicle instead of Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L-200 or Defender 90/110 series of vehicles. PA makes 8-10 soldiers sit in one vehicle instead of 4-5 like HUMVEE and when ambush hits disable the vehicle, these 8-10 soldiers become vulnerable straightaway.
Secondly, this vehicle should have atleast 250 HP engine so if armor is added onto it or weapon is mounted, its speed is not affected. Currently, none of PA used above mentioned vehicles has 150+ Hp engine .
The Toyota Land Cruiser 3-door and 5 door are exceptions. 5-Door is rare though and seen in VIP convoys. The 3-door or RKR has petrol engine with 155 hp and newer 200+ hp and the diesel RMR has older 107 hp engine and newer 200+ hp engine.
Thirdly, PA Army trucks should only be used to carry cargo like weapons/ammo/logistical equipment etc not personnel as they are slow and bigger targets unless its made it GUN TRUCK with crew served weapons.
