If it was so easy, we would have been inducting Tank EX in numbers right now. BTW, even if we increase the domestic content, we would still have to pay the Russians royalty for each tank we produce. And since both the extent of domestic content allowed and the amount of royalty are decided when...

I am inclined to think otherwise. If FRCV gets delayed, IA is more likely to buy more T-90MS to replace the T-72 rather than order more Arjun Mk-II. Unless Ambani pays the right people :laugh:

IPR? No IPR, no rights to modify the tanks.

What design and development?:confused1: FRCV is an Army requirement, not a DRDO project. Am I missing something? Did DRDO announce a new product for FRCV?

I think the source meant that the weight of the hull delivered is 50 tons. And the stupid jurno wrote it down as the weight of the tank. :facepalm: But thank god Ambani is involved in Arjun now. We might get to see some decent numbers inducted in Army (~500?). Maybe, just maybe, Arjun MkII will...

Rubber composite. Source here:- And weight reduction drive going on in full swing. See here:- My hope will never die

@hammer head @Blood+ @Blood Rain guys calm down. Arjun MkII weight is coming down slowly. According to latest news, Arjun MkII is getting rubber wheels. I think Army is pushing the DRDO team extra hard and making excuses because they do not have the funds to replace 30 regiments of T-72 tanks...

What do you suggest we do sir?

12 wheels, so the tank will be in the 50-ton class? Sweet. Happy to say that they are trying to stick to an unmanned turret concept. But from the first pic, it looks like they are planning a 3-man crew. Long ago, they said they were trying to use more automation so that the tank could make-do...

Its not a design flaw because the Arjun was not designed with a sloped armour. Hence addition of sloped armour is limited to the sides. Hence its an upgrade limitation. Adding it to cover the gun and sights would require a redesign of the turret. That would be extremely costly and straining on...

Is it just me or does the turret actually resemble that of a Merkava? Problem is, the sight is Israeli. I doubt there will be any tech transfer on this one. Tanks carry extra fuel in drums mounted behind the turret and without any armour. These are meant to be mounted only while the tank is in...
