Did I miss something? Did Poland win the tender to upgrade T-72s?

They only cleared development of Mk2 the same month they ordered the extra 124 tanks. It won't be ready by the time the new tanks start to come which will be soon.

You added an extra order. It is 124+124 mk1. Mk2 isn't ready to order.

Why must it be fake? Arjun looks much like the Leo 2A4, stands to reason the Mk2 will look much like Leo 2A6. =heheh

Indian Army To Buy Second Batch of Arjun Tanks Indian Army To Buy Second Batch of Arjun Tanks By VIVEK RAGHUVANSHI Published: 17 May 2010 13:49 NEW DELHI - The Indian Army has ordered and placed fresh orders for purchase of additional 124 homemade Arjun tanks following March comparative...

You guys still arguing over Lahat? The only thing official I have seen is 6km+ from the ground and 8km+ from the air. The IAI site clearly states navale Lahat as 6km. Lahat is a very light weight missile which doesn't carry much propellant and helos aren't going to launch it from great...

Leopard 2A6 does indeed have sloped armour.

Slop armour... lol. You do know what the slope is for? Projectiles that contact have to travel greater distance for penetration while using less material keeping weight down. It certainly isn't revolutionary, it has been used since the first Ironclad barges. But it is effective.

That video is BS. Not only are the new assualt bridges made to handle Arjun, it can withstand point blank hits from the T-72s main gun. Arjun has come of age and retired loser doesn't see the writing on the wall. Russian junk is out and superior Indian firepower is in.

BS... the Sarvatra assault bridge was designed to handle Arjun. IA has no choice but to induct it into the Strike Corps now. Arjun is clearly superior to the outdated T-90 and proved it. T-72 upgrades to be cancelled and the rest retired with Arjun replacing them. Orders of T-90 can be cut...

How near is near? We are talking 10 years before they even get the technology of the last generation. While they are busy reinventing the wheel we will be moving on to hypersonic speeds.

Don't you ever wonder why Pakistan hasn't acquired the Type 99 yet? Quite frankly, the T-80UD is a better armoured MBT. Even their Al Khalids are full of European stuff. The level of Chinese tank technology is deficient just as is their fighter jets. The biggest upgrade Pak tanks are going...

Don't forget motorbikes. That video made me dizzy.

The 1kw power unit is only for the communications gear. To run the rest of the systems takes an 18kw generator that doesn't appear to be in the export model.

Without an APU the Bhishma will show up like a light bulb on the enemies thermal imagers. It will also burn far more fuel increasing the logistics footprint. If this is going to be the spearhead of the Strike Corps they must buy Arjun, it is a necessity.

They haven't spent billions of dollars on French thermal license without a reason. The reason is theirs are inferior and have opted to skip the R&D and go with superior French models. Our orders are booked well to the end of the decade which means they aren't anywhere close to indiginisation...

Belarus integrates Thales imagers into the Russian hardware. You said Russia won't outsource their imagers, they already do. Thales has sold to Russia license production for several different imagers because theirs are inferior and they don't have the funds to develop their own.

Russia already outsources thermal imagers from Thales, Army, Navy, and Air Force. They do not have the technology to catch up to France.

Anyone have the specs of Arjun's thermal imagers?
