Most likely Kalyani will offer this tank design.

Unfortunately, kestrel is still in army trials. It has recently been trialled in ladakh, during standoff. No news regarding any order. Though there is a RFI for 200 wheeled armoured vehicles. Here kestrel, striker and other foreign vehicles will compete. Kestrel was never meant to replace...

They are definately not ours. The pics seems some upgradation programme of BMP -2 from Russia.

Army is not even sure what it wants in its FRCV programme and has asked leading tank manufacturers to come with with their own ideas. DRDO which was working on a 3 man FMBT with an autoloader for the last few years seems now have changed tracks and started working on a unmanned turret based...

Parts of arjun will be indegenized with the high volume of production once bulk order is given. Whereas the 100 % Russian junk called T-90s which has to use components designed for arjun like armour,era etc because the russian refused to give us TOT inspite of us paying them money. Missile...

Bhai Muntra vectronics (as of now) is for survelliance recce and nbc warfare only. It cannot take the role of a tank and it is only fitted on BMP chassis and is meant to be remote controlled via a radio link which cannot be more than 1-1.5 km. As far as tanks are concerned they are meant to be...

I think instead of retiring 2400 T-72 by the year 2030 another cost effective solution is to refurbish their hull with add-on modular Kanchan armour and fit a unmanned turret making them similar to armata. DRDO is already working on a unmanned turret platform and these old T-72s can benefit from...

DRDO's light tank based on BMP in the 90s Turret design is similar to the arrow shaped design of turret tried on Arjun in the 80s which was eventually dropped in favour of a Leo 2 style turret.

Quote from the conclusion of the paper : A DOE based on regression with ANOVA for evaluating two different configurations namely evolutionary and revolutionary design for GNMBT is presented. This methodology saves considerable time during the configuration stage to arrive at weight estimates for...

Actually if you read this paper published in the January edition of DSJ, it is basically a statsistical simulation study on vehicle configuration based on some existing data on automobile structures and its regression and ANOVA based modelling. It gives Evolutionary design : 54 tons ...

Frankly speaking IA has only itself to blame as far as light tank is concerned. DRDO had a light tank project way back in 90s and even came out with a prototype featuring a 105 mm main gun. But IA never showed any interest. Again in the late 2000s ABHAY ICV was ready again IA never showed any...

For future AFV, CVRDE has is developing Self Cleaning Air Filtration System (SCAFS) (for desert operation) and cooling systems and waste gated turbochargersfor high altitude operations. SOURCE : https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/4083/71c64b9d394874a1cf4233c38e3b6486bf1e.pdf

Taking all the aspects of making a compact AFV diesel engine, work has started on the development of a new 700 hp engine (Fig. 10). The chosen design parameters are, • 8 cylinder V90 with cross-plane crankshaft with tungsten inserts • Bore x Stroke 114 x 112 mm • 3600 rpm, OHV • Waste-gated...

How does vijayanta compares to t-72? In other words these the option in front of army in the 80s were amx-13 from France , t72 from USSR, and upgraded vijayanta from DRDO. Can someone do a comparative analysis between them?

i hope they come out with tracked version too.it could sport a 105/120mm gun of smaller caliber.remote controleed turret and we get a desi light tank in the 30-35 ton weight category for LAC.

what part of the tata whap is indegeneous exactly?

the army will field arjun mk2 in large numbers only if the drdo decides to rename it t-92.:P
