We as a country cannot let a vehicle like this retire, why not keep this platform and continue with a new more powerful engine and new technology on the weapons

I fully agree with you, we need to restart the production with new more powerful engines and new battle systems

Indeed you need tk partner up with indians so more can be produced. Just like mbombe 4

It looked like an armed and armored RV and I like how unique and weirdly beautiful she is.

Great vehicle. They say that it wasn't produced in time to make a difference in the border war but it wouldn't have made a difference but still a great vehicle. They need to upgrade the armor and engine and it is good to go for another 10 years. They've added sensors and thermal and navigation. Absolutely brilliant. Needs the British additional armor and really top apc.

Can't we just make another vehicle like Ratel but amphibious too?

Ratel, very reliable, durable, rugged.. OTT did a very good job in upgrading the vehicle.. the only capability it needs It's an amphioubius capability..

Old tech with a bit more skin, some flashy but nothing hugely exciting gadgetry and a new paint job! Looks good, but how will it compare on the battle field?
@empire-classfirenationbatt26913 ай бұрын
Probably about the same. I mean the upgrades are only there to extend the Ratel's lifespan until the Badger can replace it.

In reality however these Ratel's demolished Russian T55's and T62's.
