    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Its funny because you don't know about the context of the program and hence end up finding things amusing. The Arjun FCS+ Gun combo can take far more modern rounds than it currently has, and the answer to that is simple. GSQRs- the Arjun team had no incentive actually a discentive, to go beyond...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Unless you know what is in Kanchan (of today), how can you know that it is similar to whatever CAWA-2 was? FYI, Kanchan is just the name of the program more or less now. Its been upgraded several times over. The Kanchan of today has nothing to do with the Kanchan of the early 90's which would...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Kunal, don't buy into the rubbish posted by some of the self appointed experts. None of these are flaws per se. 1. The armor modules behind the GMS extend further into the tank then on the other side. The equivalent protection is similar. 2. The gun mantle is not a weak spot either - check its...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Damian, Arjun's armor has been through multiple revisions and is fairly well appreciated by its end user, the Indian Army who has both manufacturer cites (from western and Russian OEMs) to compare its protection against, plus access to tech partners and ammunition. Net, it has not remained...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    The constant complaints by the same gentleman that "how can India develop this ...etc etc.. without a single design to its credit" clearly demonstrate he might want to understand how product development in India works. In the case of India, the Arjun has been constantly refined from prototype to...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    It would be know it all rubbish (not you) to dub the kanchan weight inefficient. Kanchan has been through several revisions and design improvements as India advanced in both metallurgy and manufacture through the 80's to today, plus there is no shortage of test data from modern rounds fired at...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    The MK2 has a newer separated ammunition storage system based on the western tank model, so no, its not the same as MK1, so those concerns are unecessary. If you look at Arjun pics, you will see two doors right above the ammunition storage (turret) area, clearly meant to mimic the western...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Dont much visit the forum anymore but you are mistaken about these being open ammunition storage. Look at the hull ammo and you'll see each round gets its own blast cover which is then kept in place by those heavy levers. The ammo rack also separates each round from the other with thick steel as...
