India's Defense Research and Development (DRDO) has more financial resources in the development of new generation ABHAY (Fearless) VIF. The prototype ABHAY first phase completed in June this year, and full-scale tests of the desert will be held next summer, according to DRDO. Domestic violence has received some positive feedback from the Indian Army. The vehicle is fully developed independently by India and is equipped with a high speed AB40mm gun capable of firing APFSDS and HE ammunition developed by ABHB. The shutter speed is 1,350 m APFSDS per second to 1,000 meters per second by the Hon. The range anti-aircraft gun is 4 km and 2.5 km of ground attack. The vehicle is loaded with a total of 210 rounds of ammunition. ABHAY IFV is armed with an external ATM launcher loaded with two-four kilometers distance Konkurs wire-guided ATMs. The power plant ABHAY IFV uses TD2V8 550hp diesel engine manufactured by Greaves, and the engine power to weight ratio of 24hp / t. The whole system adopts ABHAY automatic transmission and is equipped with thermal imaging system. The ABHAY need a crew of 3 and 7 soldiers. The chassis adopts the hydraulic suspension of gas. No air conditioning system is designed to ABHAY. The army source said that even Kanwa T90S MBT has no air conditioning. When conducting combat operations in hot desert region, greater importance should be placed on the physical comfort of the crew inside the vehicle, which can improve the combat capability of the soldiers physically and psychologically. The Indian Army seems to have inherited the tradition of the Soviet Union forces, who paid little attention to the physical comfort of its weapons systems.
China has begun to develop its own next-generation domestic violence on the basis of the BMP3 turret updated version. Three prototypes have been tested since 2002. Currently, there are still problems with the chassis of Indians, which may have delayed the development process, the source said. Kanwa not believe, however, that the direction of the VIF next generation systems should be equipped with larger-caliber weapons and ammunition larger inside the vehicle and BMP3. In this sense, ABHAY approach is more in line with modern trends of development of the Chinese IFV IFV 3G. Roomy compartment ABHAY soldier has a reasonable design BMP3.
