Hello guys, got some info from a person who went to the expo and asked around...

Trials that went days/months(idk!) were with only 24 Changes/improvements..!!!!!
By June, all 88(!) changes/improvements will be made and trials will start from that month only.
No Over weight issues with the tank.. Army impressed by the MkII..
APS to be provided by Israel. Gun Same as Arjun I. Yeap, Some changes in the Turret.
Movable Headlights(!).
Acc. to CVRDE it Will be the Best Tank in the world!!

FMBT to be a completely Different tank and designing work has already started. It's weight to be 1/3rd of the Arjun(!).
First prototype by 2018, by 2020 development to be completed..
Arjun MkIII to be there also..

The Snecma-DRDO deal only on papers.. One minor and one major issue.. Big Money that Snecma wants and major one being they want share in production also..
81kn is the highest thrust that Kaveri has produced till date.. GTRE is now targeting AURA and AMCA..
AMCA engine to be developed with french help. Will have TVC. Using Kaveri for naval purposes on plan(!).

LCH to take another 2 years.. A more powerful engine planned to increase it's speed upto 281kmph and increase it's payload..

Trichy rifle is being inducted by para military forces. Performing well.
Instead of having TOT of bofors, OFB never given permission to use it.
A new MCIAR{Multi Caliber Infantry Assault Rifle(most probably cause i forgot it's name, t was something like this)} rifle for F-INSAS under development. First prototype to be out in may.
Gonna be a big leap for indigenous rifle production. State of the Art. Highly Advanced. Army interested.

OFB not producing Ammo of Tavor.

A mark 2 version of Pinaka under Development. Range to be increased upto 60kms..
Already Tested GPS guided rockets on Pinaka, but Army was never interested.


An UCAV under development who's name definitely wasn't AURA..

That's all the info. i was able to gather from Scientists present at DefExpo.

Thank you bengalraider, more over I am interested to know that is their an India vehicle available in the market to sport a CTIS, as to my outdated knowledge I have never seen any Indian vehicle to sport one, no military trucks, neither the prototype Mahindra AXE,neither TATA LSV , all that I can recollect is the Dilip Chhabria Juggernaut concept, but anyways it was just a concept vehicle from DC design.
