4x4 Vehicles Used By Indian Army
The Indian army is the 4th largest army in the world with over 3 million military personnel. The army is seen as a symbol of pride and power for the nation and the whole country depends on them for protection. With this responsibility on their shoulder, the Indian army needs powerful tools for their job. The Indian army uses a wide range of vehicles for patrolling on difficult roads and very harsh terrain, most of them are 4x4 SUV's which help them in going to every remote location. Here's a look at the vehicles used by the Indian army:
Maruti Gypsy

It was one of the most popular 4x4's available in the country. The Gypsy has been discontinued by Maruti for consumers but still remains in heavy production for the army. The Gypsy is a tough vehicle that could run on any terrain no matter how bad the condition of the land, which is the reason why it is one of the best vehicles used by the Indian army.
Tata Xenon

The Xenon is mainly used for the transportation of troops and heavy machinery. The army uses it, equipped with 4 jerry cans and convoy lights.
