Ordnance Factory Board Mine Protected Vehicle

The Aditya Mine Protected Vehicle (OFB MPV) is a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected-type vehicle used by the Indian Army and the Central Reserve Police Force as an armored personnel carrier to transport personnel with protection from explosives and small arms fire. The MPV's construction was based on the Casspir Mk II, which India used in the 1990s. The Mine Protected Vehicle has been improved by Ordnance Factory Board after feedback from the CRPF based on their experience in encountering powerful improvised explosive devices that were able to destroy them and kill the occupants inside during ambushes. As of 2018, 12 MPVs were lost to IED ambushes.
