Are u sure about russian intervention to the EX-Tank.
I thought army didn't wanted to place any more orders for Arjun tanks.
I think Russian tank industry survives on Indian orders and they won't allow anything that stands in its way

For Arjun MK1/2, They do fording without any engg assistance and can be prepare within 5 mins, The snorkel is inbuilt in Arjun series tanks at rear where engine exhaust is, For T-90 it takes 20-30mins for shallow or deep fording ..





Arjun MBT has a bigger track-print, hence, its Nominal Ground Pressure is only 0.84 kg/cm2 which compares well with other MBTs of the world . Further, with a combination of low NGP and high power / weight ratio, it has commendable going ability. The proof being Arjun MBT crossing the Ravi at Lassian, without any engineer support, whatsoever and it has crossed numerous patches of marshy terrain which are markednon-tankable in going maps of the Gurdaspur-Pathankot sector

1st image clearly debunks a post on the net that there's an area of weakness behind the gunners sight. It's a well demarcated area with a good thickness of armour behind it.

Back in days when Karna was alive and under trails ..

The Armour is their, but not Armour cavity to place large size composite pack, designers and Army are not made of fools, They have much higher qualifications than those bidding their bets on net ..

Yeah , Kremlin is helping us secretly in many other secret projects for which the payment comes indirectly in the form of more tank purchases. For example the Kudankulam project also pays for Russian help in designing the nuclear submarine.
