Military Role: Discover its crucial function as an Artillery Tug for weapons like the 105mm Field Guns, and its critical role in the logistics during the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak Wars.

Retirement and The Second Life: The Off-Road King
The video also covers the bittersweet moment of its retirement and replacement by newer models like the Ashok Leyland Stallion and Tata LPTA. But the story doesn't end there! Learn how the retired Shaktiman trucks were adopted by civilians, becoming the Off-Road King in the most challenging hilly regions, especially in parts of Manipur and other remote areas, proving that true strength never retires.
