    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    From what I know the Russian T-90 have AC ( and heater ) even though cold is a way of life for them .....the exported Algerian T-90 certainly have AC they operate in Desert as we do ,, Having as AC these days on any military platform is not considered a luxury but a necessity .....Even if you...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    An AC requirement was never raised for any tank as the report said but that does not mean the crew inside dont feel hot or wont be much fatigue of they use an AC. We need AC for IFV like BMP or the new one we are developing and for all our tank fleet for the crews ...... dont we have AC in our...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    ^^ IF we just cut the rhetoric and crystal ball gazing. Indian Army needs AC for all its Tanks and IFV fleet to prevent crew fatigue and better effeciency of electronics at high temperature. For some strange reason IA thinks not having AC in Tank is akin to being a man ......its like saying...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    DGMF already has laid path for T-90 upgrade and you will find lot of similarities or common components in T-72/Arjun/T-90 upgrade where ever possible .....and yes they would use indiginous system as much as possible ....saves on forex and generates job/revenues for local companies.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    More likely these will be upgraded , We have yet to replace the T-72 that are like 15 years older then the oldest T-90 and are planning to upgrade the T-72 Although its intriguing why they cant order say more Arjun Mk1 instead of upgrading 1000 odd T-72 with comprehensive upgrade.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Right now its not certain if its T-90MS or the T-90 Upgrade we are proposing. I have not heard from any Russian or International media source stating T-90MS is being ordered , since we Lic manuf T-90S most likely these are upgraded Lic built model with the upgrade as the DGMF proposed in the...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Not just T-90 but T-72 is also going through a similar upgrade perhaps more comprehensive if you add the new 1000 hp engine and upgunning with T-90 Guns , although BMS may not be part of T-72 upgrade. Details of T-72 and T-90 upgrade is officially described by DGMF in the interview linked...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    I believe regarding the Gun , Its been mentioned before that OFB did not tempered the gun at desired temperature and hence it had the tendency to rupture while firing APFSDS rounds. ..... once they did a root cause of it they rectified it. Also the Gun of T-90 is I believe similar to T-72 Gun (...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Well if you say that the Chief does not know what he is talking and he is out there to boost the morale then in the same statement he mentions about Arjun being a good tank too and Mk2 meeting most of army needs , then should be also not take that at face value and see it as morale boosting...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    If you ask me why I think they are maligning the Army , It because they think maligning the T-90 would show the army in bad light , prove its incompetence and make it a case of corrupt deal . Else why would any one rehash the same TI story post 2010. Obviously the aim is to do some hit job on...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    I am not sure what is there to debate when the Army Chief says T-90 is state of art tank and is designated MBT by IA and that IA is happy with it. Obviously as the chief he is aware of how the tank is performing , he even commended Arjun for that matter in that interview. So debate for the...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Well just go through all the T-90 write up that Ajai has done so far and come to your own conclusion. I have no intention to get into a debate on this with any one here but I am more inclined to believe my Chief then some internet keyboard warrior.
