Armored Amphibious Dozer
Notes: This is the primary engineer vehicle of India. It is based on the BMP-2 chassis (which India calls the Sareth), and has its turret removed for this role. The vehicle has a large digging bucket with a capacity of 1.5 cubic meters, and a track-width mine plow located at the front of the vehicle. The 8-ton capacity winch can be combined with a rocket anchor to throw a 100-meter cable to clear obstacles and for self-recovery. The AAD also has a crane with a capacity of 3 tons. The AAD normally carries construction tools, excavating tools, a welding set, and an air compressor.

Vijayanta ARV
Notes: This is one of the standard armored recovery vehicles of India, made from retiring Vijayanta main battle tanks. In this role, the turret is replaced by a raised superstructure running along almost half of the vehicle's hull. At the front of this superstructure is an A-frame crane with a capacity of 10 tons, and the rear of the hull has a winch mounted with a capacity of 23 tons, or 70 tons with block and tackle. There is an auxiliary winch with a capacity of 3.75 tons. Both winches have 100 meters of cable. The usual assortment of tools for an ARV are issued with the vehicle, including welding and cutting gear, an air compressor, a fuel pump, a large set of tools (basic, wheeled vehicle, tracked vehicle, small arms, heavy ordinance), a tow bar, block and tackle, and various ropes, cables, and chains. The driver's position has been moved to the center of the front hull, the superstructure has two hatches for crew, and there is a flat area on the rear deck for a spare power pack.
