That ship does have a bulbous bow, though
TATA Kestrel WHAP. Seems they have removed the BMP-2 turret and put something beefier, though I'm trying figure out what the f happened in the middle

So this is what Cardi B was singing about a couple years back.
Because the country in question is India, when I saw "WhAP" I immediately thought "WhatsApp."
BTW, what did you mean by this: "I'm trying figure out what the f happened in the middle." I'm no AFV expert, so I'm curious about what's wrong here (aside from the bright/fluorescent green of the water propulsion unit, of course).
It looks like they tried to mash two completly different designs together, and the only way they figured to mate them together was with that blocky structure between the 2 and 3 axle.
I'm not AFV expert either but that looks sub-optimal at best. Even the worst mashups of the BTR's don't look that bad.
Ach, jetzt verstehe ich. I've seen significantly worse transitions this one, though. Doesn't raise my eyebrows at all. Thanks for your reply.
Don't you see the big "bubble" on the bow of the ships? Just because they don't go out in front ship does not mean it is not a bulbous bow.
Now I wonder what the speed is like in water since the front looks like it would induce a shitton of drag while in water.
well you cant expect vehicles like that to run as fast as speedboat. It probably enough for transit through river or maybe lake.
