Rakshak Gypsy

Notes: This Indian vehicle is similar in concept to the Egyptian G-320 and German TH-444, being an armored version of an SUV, in this case the locally-produced Maruti Gypsy. The armor is heavier, designed to provide protection against 7.72N, 7.62L, and 7.62S rounds fired at point-blank range. The basic body has been fitted with a steel armor kit known to the Indians as Kackal, the windows are bullet-resistant to the same degree as the body, and the passenger compartment has two firing ports on either side of the vehicle. These firing ports are simply holes in the body covered by an armored shutter, so they can take any weapon that can fit out the ports. There are doors on either side of the cab, and two large doors in the rear of the hull, and each of these doors also has a firing port. The engine has been replaced with a more powerful one, and the suspension upgraded, to cope with the additional weight. This vehicle is used only by the Indians, more normally as a scout vehicle than an assault carrier.
