Indian defence contractor Larsen and Toubro and BAE systems announced on Wednesday the initiation of the production of their articulated all-terrain vehicle (ATV) BVS 10 Sindhu for the Indian Army.

The development followed the army’s order for 18 of the ATVs. According to ANI, the vehicles are proven in conflicts across the globe and are expected to be deployed in Ladakh for high altitude operations at 18,000 feet under extreme weather conditions.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is currently fielding ATVs in the Kutch region, where they are able to operate in temperatures up to 55 degree celsius and are used for transporting troops to patrol the marshes, deserts and the Rann of Kutch.
