neither is navy nor airforce. Yet both of them moving fast forward to indegenation. Infact navy and airforce need far more technology intensive platform compared to army .yet they are finding indegenious solutions. Army is happy displaying its broken down t90 at tank sports. Mission accomplished.

Beautiful. Survivability as top priority. Indian army will learn this lesson too. Anti tank missile have proliferated. If we actually want to roam inside Pakistan only Arjun level of protection can keep soldiers safe not tin cans.

Army top brass is systematically being changed. General naravane has not been appointed for nothing. Wait and watch.

Both drdo and IA as drdo couldn't reduce the weight and army kept demanding western capabilities in Russian size. You again can't read properly. Read again army wanted a heavy tank anticipating porky plan of getting Abrams. when that didn't happen army lost interest in arjun and focused on...

Most bridges on our side have long been upgraded. Iirc Arjun can be Carried of most of not all bridges in Punjab. I may be wrong though.

What I am saying is porky was part of us alliance so it was almost certain that it will get American thanks just like it got Patten tanks before. Those heavy would require heavy tanks from India to match that is why Arjun is build like a western tanks! And if porky got abram they will need...

Arjun was build in response to porky acquiring and Abrams. Which didn't materialized. If porky bought Abrams then porky would themselves build roads capable of carrying arjun on their side. on Indian side Arjun can move freely in desert land and even in Punjab. BTW ground pressure of Arjun is...

I have been reading. It's puzzling. Our tank strength is almost 4000+ now. Arjun was late so they started modernizing t72 and then they started buying t90 . Both being built in India with lots of indigenous components . I think plans have changed . They will probably won't touch t90s rather...

Btw I have been looking at t72 history. Indian army didn't modernized t72 for a long time as it was waiting for arjun to mature. Let me read more on this history then I may be able to comment on the issue .

Your complaints about weight don't make sense because army wanted more knew weight will increase with more and yet went ahead. About orders I'm sure they will be signed soon enough for mk1a . also we have reports on new hull by reliance so let's weight and watch what happens to mk2.

Army itself signed of on increased weight! Read the report again!

Now I'm suspicious. Are they going to use hull from this for MK2 Arjun and hence rumors about 50ton weight. Something is fishy.

Don't connect 1800hp with 50t weight . Reliance never talked about 1800hp engine it's different rumor. Still you maybe right . But based on army's preference for t90 type weight they might redesign it completely.

They have been redesigning the hull and turret already. 50ton statement is from reliance and reported by Hindu . 1800 hp is something I read somewhere else so maybe not that authentic.
