In this Defence special issue, we bring to you the Mahindra Armado’s first road test, BTS of an advert shoot, plus we explore Nagaland, Ladakh, and even Siberia in Mahindra SUVs

Gone are the days when military vehicles were mere adaptations of civilian vehicles. The Armado changes that – this is the first time that an ALSV has been designed specifically for military purposes. This 6-tonne vehicle is powered by a 3.2-litre 6-cylinder diesel engine and can do speeds of up to 120kmph on the harshest of terrains. But there’s a lot more to this than what meets the eye. Read all about it in our latest issue.

In the sun-kissed sands of Goa, where waves crash relentlessly, a band of heroes emerges. Join us as we pay homage to the fearless lifeguards who stand as sentinels, saving lives with nothing but their courage and trusty Mahindras. Mandar fulfils his dream of driving to Ladakh in a Scorpio N, a group of Thars drives deep into the Nagaland wilderness, Bijoy reflects on 10 years of the Mahindra Off-road Academy, reports from the recent Himalayan drive, a convoy of Mahindras drive to Siberia and many more such drives. We also answer what happens in an advertorial shoot when we take you behind the scenes of the new Thar Earth Edition photoshoot. We also have a tuned Bolero camper that has now become an off-road beast and there’s a CJ-3B that is on its journey to a complete restoration.
