The article focuses on the almost 12 billion U.S. dollar Future Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) project to be designed, developed, and manufactured in India. It says that the FICV project, started in 2007 aims to pack some of the capacities of a 40ton MBT into a 23ton combat vehicle which can seat an infantry unit of seven in full combat gear with the additional FICV's crew of three. It adds that the delay of the project was due to the prototypes designed and sent to the user for testing.
