40mm remote controlled platform
Good for bunker busting at LOC
I think what sir horus is saying ,
The loc is not one line , there's forward posts behind them company HQ( firaeupport base with mortar and company sniper plus HMG and anti bunker anti air ) behind them is the battalion HQ with heavy weapons support , a vehicle like that could easily reach at least the battalion HQ if not the company HQ , thus can be used On the ' LOC ' but not on the actual line that divides
I hope this answers?
No, he mentioned dug up positions which are right in front of Indian positions, usually entrenched in the forests. You don't park these vehicles in your Rear HQs. It makes the idea of their deployment on LOC redundant.
Army AD units heavy calibre AAA like 35mm or 40mm already, so the weapon is already available in the area. The mobility that this vehicle offers, tracked or wheels, can help as logistics vehicle for supply and med evac between own lines.
Army Engineers can carve the area as they want: Dirt Roads (Paths made for vehicles), trenches, obstacles, bunkers, bridges etc.1- Roads cannot be built everywhere e.g on isolated posts up on a mountain.
2- Our forces are deployed to cover large rugged frontiers on both Eastern and Western borders. Not every area is suitable for roads.
4- Roads cost money.
5- What about friendly forces occupying an enemy area with no roads?
Mules are the cheapest option but take many days to arrive.3- Armies even employ human porters, mules are a far better option.
Heli drop should be made possible in majority of areas, followed by shorter version of Al-Qaswa M-113 variant for logistics. Last option: Mules where nothing else can negotiate the terrain.6- Watch the video and think about this
Need to make 105mm or 155mm towed piece first then SPbro if HIT can't put something like this together then big time laanat
An artillery round was displayed in a presentation back in 2001-2 which locked on the top side of targets like MBT's and other vehicles. i dont remember if it was laser or not.Laser guided weaponry for artillery should be introduced. The guided mortar would be very effective in loc. Very easy to conceal.
81mm packs a good punch too with excellent rate of fire.Only if we use 120mm or 160mm mortars as the rest have little impact on reinforced sanghars.
