Question 1 of 5
1. Question
-
- BvS10 Sindhu, recently in news, is associated with which of the following?
Correct
-
- Solution (a)
Explanation:
The BvS10 Sindhu is an India-specific variant of the BvS10 all-terrain vehicle originally developed by BAE Systems Hägglunds. It is a fully articulated, twin-cabin, tracked vehicle designed to operate in extreme environments where wheeled vehicles cannot function. Its very low ground pressure allows it to move over snow, soft soil, marshlands, deserts, glacial terrain and steep mountain slopes. The vehicle is fully amphibious, capable of water operations without preparation.
For India, it has been specially customised for deployment in regions such as Ladakh, the Eastern Himalayas and Rann of Kutch. The Indian version includes enhanced protection, mobility upgrades, advanced communication systems, and battlefield survivability improvements. It is being produced domestically by Larsen & Toubro (L&T) under a licensed manufacturing arrangement, supporting high-altitude logistics and rapid mobility for the Indian Army.
