The Philippine Marine Corps conducted road testing of their V-150 and V-300 wheeled armored vehicles in Bulacan last 07 June 2023.
This appears to be part of the testing of these vehicles which are newly upgraded as part of the Light Armor System Upgrade (LARSU) Project of the Philippine Marine Corps and the Philippine Air Force, which was contracted to India's Larsen & Toubro under the Horizon 2 phase of RAFPMP.
Part of the upgrade is the LARSU Mobility Upgrade which includes works on the power pack, cooling system, drivers control, driveshafts, wheel and tire assembly, steering assembly, electrical systems, suspension and brakes and fuel system.
LARSU also includes a turret upgrades, which in the case of the V-300 may not yet be complete thus the turretless vehicles.
