Around 2009-10 period, theere was a proposal to assemble Polish Anders Tank in India by BEML. It would have been in a similar weight class as the Type 15.

What will happen to the under developement 30 ton tank by DRDO that is to be powered by a 1000 hp engine? Also how will a 25 ton tank counter a 35 ton Type 15 tank?

The base design requirements in RFI points to the fact that Army is confortable of the proposal of a light tank based on IFV whose basic design should not weight beyond 18-20 tons. On that a turret with a 105 mm gun can be mounted. In the indegeneous front, both OFBs BMP 2 and TATA's proposed...

A rfi is launched for light tanks below 25 ton weight. Response is wanted by june. So only sprut SD qualifies the RFI. As all other light and medium tanks including proposed l&t/drdo jv light tanks are above 25 tons.

Even though there are media reports on light tank purchase (from Russia), I don't think any would materialize. In 2009-10 also there was a talk of OFB manufacturing Polish Light tank Anders. However, things did not progress anything beyond proposal stage. Ever since the retirement of PT-76, IA...

Another concept for light tank. An old arjun prototype (in the mid 80's ) with 105 mm main gun weighing about 40-45 tons with heavy steel armour. Use of lightweight high strength titanium alloys, aluminium alloys and a composite hull i.e technologies perfected for abhay icv and some ERA/ NERA...

Both tank ex turret and abhay ICV hull are indegeneous designs. T-55 is a russian design and russia will object any tampering with it as it had done in case of tank-ex with it. Use of HNS steel and modern Kanchan ceramic armour can reduce the weight of the hull of Abhay ICV (First prototype in...

One of possible configuration of light tank of 30-35 tons category: tank ex turret : mated with Abhay ICV hull : this can easily rival Chinese light tank of 30-35 ton class.

to be frank i don't think inducting anders/other light tanks(equipped with light era/nera) in the indian army is a good idea.first of all when inducted along LAC the kind of balllistic protection it offers may fend of a few rpg rounds by jihadis along LOC but against the latest atgm used by pla...

there are 2 problems with this drdo project.firstly the there should be a more potent hull than bmp2(like abhay icv's hull) and it needs to be covered with era and should have an aps..secondly the main gun should be more powerful like a smaller barreled version of arjun's main gun or a smaller...

Which drdo tank are you talking about please elaborate.Anyways why can't a smaller barelled version of the arjun gun(with a unmanned turret) be mated with an ficv base(prefarbly tata) to get a perfect airportable light 30-35 ton tank.This can save us from exports.Yes i know some of you will say...

why can't the army order abhay icv for this requirement of light tank?

wouldn't it be wise to use our namica's instead of "light tanks" at lac.the namica's equipped with nag is an overkill even of chinese type-99 mbt let alone these lightly armoured whelled gun and bunkers.the namica can be armoured to the level of protection required by era panels developed by...

if the weight is about 35 ton then it is similar to t-72 with 42 tons.how good is it's 120mm gun and armour compared to the same of arjun's?

what is the weight of this light tank?

can nag missile be fired from arjun 120mm gun similar to lahat atgm.also can the arjun gun be fitted to ficv similar to bmp-3?how good is the arjun gun compared to l-55?will the arjun gun be also upgraded in mk2 version?

the most important think to learn from this jv for india is the unmanned turret which can be implemented in fmbt.

india & russia jointly building a smart tank is a 3 year old news.do anyone have any new information regarding this joint venture.i heard the russian cancelled the t-95 programme in april 2010 due to obsolete design.
