Indian Army deployed in Sikkim
The Indian Army has deployed VMIMS in altitude areas like Sikkim. Trishti Corps, the Indian Army tweeted, “The Indian Army has deployed a vehicle mounted Infantry Mortar System (VMIMS) in Sikkim. This self -sufficient system enhances dynamics, quick response and firepower, strengthens India’s self -sufficiency and defense preparations.” With this deployment, the army can also take rapid action in difficult areas. This makes India’s defense preparations strong.
What is vehicle mounted infantry mortar system?
This is a system that has an 81 mm cannon. This cannon is on a particular vehicle. This vehicle is called ALSV i.e. Armard Light Specialist Vehicle. In India it is known as ‘Armado’. With this, artillery can be transported from one place to another quickly and attacked more rapidly.
What are the special benefits of VMIMS?
The first advantage is to reach it from one place to another. Due to being on the ALSV, it can also easily walk on difficult paths. This is very important to respond rapidly in any operation. Second, it can be deployed very quickly. Alakran-L mortar system is automatic, so firing can be started by setting up it quickly. Third, this increases the firepower. The enemy’s bases can be easily targeted by 81 mm mortar.
The VMIMS is created by Mahindra Defense Systems Limited (MDSL) and Milanian NTGs. This reflects India’s goal of ‘Make in India’. The system was also shown in the Republic of India Republic Day Parade. This shows how important this system is for the Army of India.
