Srinagar, August 26, 2023 (PPI-OT): The latest Wheeled Armored Amphibious Platform (WHAP) is being provided to the Indian Paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to suppress the freedom movement in illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
A report published in Indian media said this is a modern vehicle that can run on land and water as well as in swamps and lakes. It is an eight-wheeled vehicle developed by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
The report says that the WHAP is a formidable machine that can withstand bullets, explosions, mines and rockets. It has a powerful 600-horsepower engine and automatic transmission along with a precision-firing 7.62mm Remote Control Weapon Station (RCWS).
According to the report, the CRPF will initially be supplied with six vehicles of this type. Two have already reached occupied Jammu and Kashmir and are deployed in South Kashmir.
