    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    AMW is already the third largest in HV manufacturing and is whooping Tata and AL's butt left and right. Another reason for their success is buying back of vehicles from huge construction companies after a specific project is completed.

    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    Communication gap.:doh: I agreed with you there and unsuccessfully implied that they can manufacture military trucks in India if they wanted to. Then we are on the same page? Its not that they needed the trucks but AL & Tata contacts in the MOD. Also looking at the extreme import friendly...

    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    They all make military trucks but I get your point. Thing is you are not getting mine. If you are a German company like Rheinmetall which do you think was an easier thing to do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheinmetall_MAN_Military_Vehicles Or Rheinmetall-Tata JV. 1) Asking your already...

    I thought it was Tata power SED. I stand corrected. @pmaitra , companies I mentioned are all manufacturing trucks in India.

    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    In addition to what Rowdy pointed out. Frankly, I don't think they needed AL for trucks. They could have gone to n number of manufacturers like Scania, Kamaz, Bharat Benz or MAN. They needed someone to navigate the muddy waters of MOD for them. I could be wrong but L&T's interaction with the...

    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    There is a massive difference between a low tech howitzer and a "futuristic" MBT. Unlike Noricum, there is no tank manufacturer worth its salt is on sale AFAIK. So my friend, you are comparing apples with peas. One more thing that you don't realize that even if they succeed in designing a...

    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    "First deserve then desire" Something my grandfather used to say. Tata is yet to prove its mettle in "manufacturing" the relatively easier platforms like Kestrel. As Rowdy said, its TOT or nada. Designing a next gen MBT from scratch will be too much for novices like Tata despite all its...

    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    Who doesn't. She and Anna Kendrick are the two islands of wit and humour in the vast ocean of porcelain dumb bimbos. Even the "slow" people like Saudis are "building" IFVs so its not that big a deal but MBTs are a whole new ball game. Kestrel is designed by DRDO so they can indeed be the...

    Tata Motors wants to build battle tanks

    Eventually I would like to sleep with Emma Stone but I don't see that happening either. People will be far more grateful if Tata comes up with a car that does not look like Indica.
