New Delhi [India], March 13 (ANI): The Indian Army is set to deploy indigenously developed Sherp All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) for peacekeeping operations under the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), significantly enhancing mobility in extreme terrain conditions.

The Army posted on X, 'The Indian Army is set to deploy the indigenously developed Sherp All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) for peacekeeping operations to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, UNMISS, significantly enhancing mobility in extreme terrain.'

'The Sherp ATVs are engineered for superior adaptability and unmatched amphibious capabilities, making them ideal for the challenging environments encountered in South Sudan.
