The Indian Army is now upgrading its attacking vehicles, which cannot work at night. That is, now night vision will be applied in these vehicles. So that they can be used even in night.
Army has sought a demo from the domestic companies, as well as the work can be carried forward by anyone who wishes to work. Under this, the BMP-2 / 2K infantry combat vehicle is to be upgraded.
These vehicles were inducted into the Indian Army in 1985.
The army says that soldiers often face such difficulties at the border, upgrades are needed to counter this threat. Along with this, facilities like automatic target tracker, firing control system are also to be added to it.
There is constant incitement on the border from China and attempts are being made to infiltrate. There was also a shooting incident near Pangong area last night. Indian Army is already preparing, so that if the situation worsens further, it can be fought on the front.
The terrain along our borders lends itself to conduct of large scale mechanised operations and the belligerence of our adversaries on the borders necessitate that our capabilities are adequately built up to match the threat,” the Army said in the document.
”Present system is also deficient of modernised Fire Control System and Automatic Target Tracker which adversely affects the capability of BMP-2/2K to fight both during day and night,” it said.
