Then HVF officials discovered that Russia had withheld key T-90S technologies without valid reason. This included technology for crucial components like the tank’s main gun and a key section of the turret armour. To this day, Russia has not transferred full technology for building the T-90S in India.

General Manager of HVF Avadi, how the T-90S was being built without these technologies, he confirmed: “We developed the tank gun indigenously in Central Ordnance Depot, Kanpur, and the turret armour component in CVRDE (Combat Vehicles R&D Establishment), Avadi. This is still a sticking point between India and Russia.”

Similar composite Armour at Armour cavity of T-90, Made of plates with ceramic and other in between

There were problems along the way. “We had some problems with the turret – the 130-mm armour plate,” said Mr. Chandrasekar.Chairman, OFB, Saroj Vinayek, spoke about the “challenge to manufacturers.”

The Russians declined to part with the technology for the turret and the gun, claiming it was not part of the original agreement. This led to protracted, but barely fruitful negotiations, and delay in the indigenisation schedule. OFB officials said they fabricated the turret under extremely difficult circumstances as technological inputs from Russia were not forthcoming.

Their is another official source of mentioning Kanchan armour module being used on T-90 bhisma, I am not able to find it at the moment ..

Indian T-90 bhishma are heavier compare to Russian T-90, Due to mainly Kanchan Armour instead of Russian. This show via difference in ground pressure of both variants ..

Any info or source about kanchan Armor being used in T 90 ?

Did you know,

there's a significant meaning behind the tanks publicly displayed by the Army based on their barrel's position.

If the barrel is kept high, it means the tank participated in a war and won but now decommissioned

If barrel is kept down it means the tank was captured from enemy camp after defeating them

A leveled barrel with the ground suggests it to be a replica or used during peace time..
