Suggestion No.109
G’day lads. I want to suggest the newly revealed Indian NAMIS (TR) MK-2, which features a 30mm cannon, 4 NAG FnF ATGMs and a UAV :)
Description:

The NAMIS (TR) Mk2 (Nag Missile System Tracked) is India’s latest tracked anti tank missile platform, first publicly showcased in January 2026 during India’s Republic Day period displays. Unlike its predecessor, the NAMICA, which used a six missile launcher configuration dedicated almost exclusively to anti tank, the NAMIS Mk2 adopts a newer layout featuring four ready to fire Nag anti tank guided missiles paired with a 30mm 2A42 autocannon mounted in a redesigned turret. It is built on the BMP-2 “Sarath” tracked chassis, where the NAMIS Mk2 retains high road/off road mobility and protection suitable for mechanized formations operating in deserts, plains, and high-altitude terrain. As of now, there isn’t much info about it, so more details might come in the future.
History:

The Nag originated in the early 1980s under India’s Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP), led by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The program planned to create an indigenous missile capable in various situations. The Nag was conceived as a third generation, fire and forget anti tank guided missile equipped with an imaging infrared seeker and a tandem high explosive anti tank warhead designed to defeat explosive reactive armor. Development proved challenging in seeker technology and thermal imaging performance under India’s extreme desert temperatures. Throughout the 90s and 2000s, multiple prototype tests were conducted at ranges including Pokhran. By the 2010s, improvements in seeker cooling systems and guidance electronics led to successful user assisted trials in both hot desert and cold weather conditions. In 2019-2020, the missile successfully completed final user trials.
To provide a mobile, armored launch platform for the Nag missile, DRDO developed the NAMICA (Nag Missile Carrier). Development began in the 1990s using the BMP-2/Sarath chassis as the base vehicle. The platform incorporated a hydraulically operated missile launcher system, advanced thermal sights, laser rangefinding, and onboard fire control electronics designed for the Nag’s guidance requirements. Testing of the NAMICA progressed in parallel with missile development, with integrated trials verifying launcher reliability, stabilization, and firing accuracy under mobile and static conditions. By the late 2010s, after successful integrated trials, the NAMICA was cleared for induction and small series production to equip Indian Army mechanized anti-tank units.
Around 2024 or so, a new image was revealed showing the “NAMICA MK-2” with a 30mm cannon and turret side mounted Nag’s. This ended up becoming the NAMIS MK-2 when revealed in January 2026, although with some changes, like the launchers not being vertically arranged for example.

Sadly there is no proper info yet about the NAMIS MK-2, therefore I will have to use BMP-2 Sarath info instead. It has a length of around 6.72m, a width of 3.15m and a height of 2.45. It’s weight while on full combat load is 14.3 tons. It is powered by a 300hp UTD-20 engine, which can make it go up to 65km/h on road.
