Preparations had already been made for the security of the Indian Army stationed in the war zone. Under this, 45 special armored fighting vehicles have been sent to Lebanon for the Indian Army. For the first time, the army has sent its armored vehicles to UNIFIL. In all the remaining UN missions where Indian soldiers are deployed, indigenous armored vehicles are already present. The Indian Army will have these special vehicles in a week or two. It is completely bullet proof, mine proof and can deal with any aerial threat. There are two types of peace keeping missions of the United Nations. The first is dry lease and wet lease. Only troops are sent under dry lease, all other logistics are provided by the UN. In wet lease, the country sends its own logistics along with its soldiers. Till now the Indian Army used to be on dry lease in Lebanon under UNIFIL. From this month it will operate under wet lease. At present, armored personal carrier vehicles hired by Sweden are used for patrolling and other work on the Blue Line.
