‘It is India’s first vehicle that can be driven on road, marshy terrain and in water as well.’<\/strong><\/p>\n A hi-tech armoured vehicle, which can run on both road and water and also performs very well in mountainous terrain, has been added to the Central Reserve Police Force arsenal.<\/p>\n The 8-by-8 vehicle can carry 10 troops and a driver.<\/p>\n “It weighs about 24 tonnes and is eight metres in length and three metres in width,” says senior CRPF officer Shish Pal.<\/p>\n It has a speed of 8 to 10 kilometres per hour in water. In normal terrain, it can drive at speeds up to 140 kilometres per hour.<\/p>\n The vehicle can move in rivers against the waves. It is fully bulletproof and mine-protected, Pal adds.<\/p>\n “We can launch an assault while sitting inside the bulletproof vehicle. This will help in anti-terror operations as we can get closer to targets where terrorists are holed up,” CRPF jawan Pratap Singh tells PTI.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photographs curated by Anant Salvi\/Rediff.com<\/em>
