    Arjun mk 2 after weight reduction is going to be in the class of M1A2 and Leo2A7 of 63-64 tons very close to the 62 ton Arjun mk1.

    Future Ready Combat Vehicle tender

    In Mk 2 with improved Kanchan armour and with add on NERA and ERA modules add another 250-300 mm (min.) to that value. The weight shot up to 67-68 tons for a valid reason.

    Future Ready Combat Vehicle tender
