BMP-II Vehicles Reconfirm Amphibious Capability at Malkapur Lake Trials

The Ordnance Factory Medak (OFM) in Hyderabad conducted annual trials at Malkapur Lake to test the amphibious capabilities of their BMP-II vehicles.

These trials are important to ensure the vehicles can handle water and different terrains.

The tests included checking how the vehicles enter water, move while floating, and return to land.

The trials were supervised by the OFM's chief general manager, S.S. Prasad.

OFM, established in 1984, manufactures various infantry combat vehicles and other specialized vehicles for the Indian Army and other forces.

These trials help the factory make sure their vehicles meet the army's requirements before being sent for use.
