The anti-tank and anti-personnel mines are part of a display here where the Corps of Engineers is showcasing the indigenous equipment that has been inducted into the Army.
The Indian Army is set to receive a new family of indigenous land mines which are going to replace the vintage mines in its arsenal, Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane said on Tuesday.
In an exclusive interaction with ANI after inducting the first set of 14 of the 53 Armoured Engineer Reconnaissance Vehicles, General Naravane said the family of these mines developed by DRDO in partnership with a private sector firm would be inducted as and when they meet the requirements of the users.
"A new range of mines is under development right from anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. This has been necessitated as all our mines were of vintage and new protocols for mine warfare," he said.
On the induction of these mines in service, the Army chief said: "Each type of mine will get inducted as and when it meets user requirements which will be soon."
