BMP Family of Vehicles (BMP-1, BMP-2, BMP-3, BMP-XXX, etc.)
raafif:
couple more old ones ...
Logan Hartke:
Just as there is now a tracked Stryker, so too is there a wheeled BMP-2.
Wow.
Oh my. I'm going to be sick. It looks like someone faxed a fuzzy photo of the Fahd 280-30 and there was a paper jam as it was printing. Then they built something to match the picture.
It also looks eerily similar to the Hammerhead-i Eagle Thrust.
At least we know India's watching Top Gear.
In case anyone wants to subject their eyes to a further round of retinal bombardment, it's called the Chakra Rath (which I can only assume means something quite derogatory in Hindi) and more pictures can be found at the link below.

There's even a walkaround video on YouTube.
Wow. Just...wow.
Cheers,
Logan
GTX_Admin:
Oh dear. What's next? A wheeled MT-LB?
Rickshaw:
Not much ground clearance under the leaf-springs is there? The tyres look either flat or overloaded. I doubt the value of it in cross-country driving as well, with that large gap between the front and rear wheels. Internal security vehicle perhaps? Technology demonstrator? Spoof?
Weaver:
Wow - that last time I saw an idea as bad as that, it was in a black and white photo from the 1930s....... ???
If you wanted to recycle old BMP-1s into wheeled AFVs, it'd make far more sense to buy the bare hulls of a properly designed vehicle (there must be at least a dozen to choose from) and then swap all the BMP subsystems onto them. That Kadr Fahd in Logan's post has got to be the first obvious candidate.
