Superb pictures, thank you for posting them here. Can someone explain how these excercise work. I can see tanks and radar etc but who are they firing at and what is the radar detecting? It would be good to know how these exercises are planned and carried out?
Ulla,Why are this "Troop Transporter" open I mean the open top ? It is not only in this case and picture it seems a standard of the Pakistan Army, that Infantry transport vehicles are not getting so much attention in the issue "protection".
The downside of an open top is a major vulnerability to all types of plunging fire; this included indirect fire from mortars and field artillery, as well as depressed-trajectory small arms fire from higher elevated positions, lobbed hand grenades, even Molotov's cocktails, and strafing by enemy aircraft.
That here could be cheap and "provisional" solution, they should build a body like this one here and install it at the "Landrover Defender" !
The open top should build so that our Soldiers can open and close it how the tactical situation needs it.

Ulla,
The standard armored troop carriers in PA is the M113 and it's local derivatives. PA has thousands of them and they are made locally. They form the backbone of PA armored infantry division. What we lack is wheeled armored vehicle for use in counter insurgency requirements.
