Indian Army will get these 3 special weapons
The Indian Army will get Nag Missile System (Tracked) Mk-II (NAMIS), Ground Based Mobile ELINT System (GBMES) and High Mobility Vehicles (HMV). While the Nag missile will increase the ability to destroy enemy vehicles, bunkers and fortifications, the ground based mobile ELINT system will monitor enemy radar or signals. This will help us in knowing the enemy’s intelligence activities ahead of time. At the same time, with the help of HMV, it will become easier to deliver logistics to hilly, desert and forested areas.
