Yes they do ... about MKI till the kits were coming from Russia as soon as they reached final stage they were unhappy .
They dont mind those products assembled in India . If they trust Indian made goods that much then .... we can say on paper ARjun Tank is far better than T90 ....
Quoting you only here i believe
The difference between Arjun Mk1 and T-90 is not that drastic. Arjun is said to be 0.84Kg/cm2. But note that the source does not indicate if that is the planned figure without the weight increases or actual ground pressure with the weight increase taken into consideration. T-90 is said to be around 0.9-0.91Kg/cm2. Even if that's Arjun's Mk1s final value, and not the heavier 67 ton Mk2, the difference is too small for it to matter in the overall scheme of things, especially considering the T-90 is lesser in weight by 12 tons compared to Mk1 and 21 tons compared to Mk2 while packing similar or even higher levels of survivability along with greater firepower.

Do you know how these small differences create large battle outcomes? Arjun can operate in swamps while T-90 can't. Do you know the kind of anti tank difences Pakistan has called ditch cum bund? Do you know they can flood those areas with water to stop tank assault? You need to know your enemy and his tactics also. Arjun has better fordging capability than T-90 and so it more suited for warfare in Punjab & Jammu sector besides being best for Desert warfare.
Every such site has paid members who spread falsehood on behalf of weapon manufacturers. Lets start a new thread and I would like to have a one-on-one debate with those defence professionals who claim T-90 to be better than Arjun. the fact that T-90 is better suited for northeast hills due to low temps clearly gives victory to Arjun. India has temps as high as 50*C in Thar and the temp inside the tank in such heat can easily go up to 60*C if cooling is not provided. The electronics will not work if they are not designed to withstand those temps and thats the biggest problem of all russian equipment.
I throw an open challenge to those who call T-90 superior to Arjun to debate with me.
but they still wanted T90 to be upgraded if I am not wrong for night vision and all....
They might be wrong or might not be ... but the MOD and Defense now knows people keep a close check on there activities and some day they will mak difficult decisions.
Rafale .... will see ... what the next gov does....
Tejas... With FGFA gone there is a little scope for that too.... they can go for extra 63 Rafale if at all deal matures .... which as per now appears will not....
They are not inducting as of now... They want to ... They might suceed or not.... future will tell....
Rafale and Tejas cannot be linked or compared ...
They are different diff role diff purpose....
Tejas is a much advanced machine in its category...So I will be be shocked that Rafale deal doesnot mature and more tejas mk1 and Tejas mk2 are asked by IAF....
Thats wat rests in the future we will have to wait wat happens .... I might be wrong or even right....
By that standards, pretty much everything that IAF and IA induct are made in India as well. OFB makes T-90, artillery and guns. HAL makes MKI.
They are plain wrong. And they will receive a proper answer anyway.
How so? Everything I say here is what IAF, IN and IA are doing.
Are they inducting more LCAs? No. Are they inducting more Rafales? Yes.
