Not sure what hit the bullet proof front-glass, But sure did-not penetrated it ..

In reality the major problem with respect to lesser Indian Arjun`s is the Overhaul facilities at field areas are not design for Arjun on first place, The upgrading of overhaul system alone will cost double of Arjun program itself according to some people i talked with, This prime issue is little known in public and a hidden one, The 43rd and 75th regiments have their own overhaul system for Arjun which were in place since 2008 when they used to operate T-55 ..

In theory they have, Their are instances when one T-90 breakdown other is canabalised for spares ..

what about the cost bhai, T-14 Armata is $4.3 Million & Arjun MK2 is $8.2 Million as per wiki or other sources.., but T-14 Armata looks like FMBT... Arjun MK3 or Desi FMBT is noway around now... but why has Arjun MBT cost gone too High?

Very few armata are produced till date.
How can economy of scale come into picture now???

They are comparing cost of 'estimated' production variant of Russian tank with prototype of Arjun MK2, Russian tank technology is far from perfect and undergoing series of trails, Its pre induction is part of PR campaign they are yet to put its original 140mm cannon which will force complete design changes ..

It will take no less than 10-20 years to perfect this technology with others ..

Currently, to replace Soviet-made type of main tanks T-72, T-90,T-80 is prepared for serial production of promising tank T-14 "Armata". However, the 125-mm gun of the tank has insufficient power to reliably hit targets with a high level of protection, do not use valuable groundwork for the use of a gas turbine engine.

It is believed that a more rational use of less than the caliber of the object 292, namely, 140, or even 130 mm. This will greatly increase the rate of fire and ammunition, armor penetration is not reducing armor-piercing projectiles. It should also take into account the effect of impact on a tank chassis. On the other hand, 152.4 mm gun offers the prospect of unification with the CAO division level for fire unit. In addition, a six-inch-caliber projectile quite naturally has a great power of action on the target. In any case, the question of choice of caliber requires careful consideration. In this study, as a first approximation adopted caliber rifled gun 152.4 mm.

Presently Armata has 2A82-1M which is a bit thicker than 2A46M and little accurate, It perhaps reached or near present Arjun`s cannon accuracy ..

Though in future this gun will change, As Russian demand complete new tank and not part upgraded tank with new designation ..

For we Indians better concentrate on our own development rather relying on foreign system and degrading our own Industry, Besides we buy them cheap and make costly upgrades in Indian with DRDO help ..

bhai its 125mm cannon for T-14, what is 140mm cannon, what tank are you talking bhai..?

Let's hope we get such platform soon, they offer good mobility and can be use to support the infantry in Tibet area.
