    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    @Damian see, there lies the problem. If Arjun had been developed in 5 or ten years you would have said it's BS. With no prior experience, it cannot be done. We/ I know that 30 years is too long to develop a tank and I agree with you - is shamefully a long time.Reasons being what you have said...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    @Damian Arjun tank is being developed for the last 30 years. Isn't that a decent development life cycle in your opinion. Isn't it a decent enough number of years to learn. Decent enough time to know where we are lacking, what technology we need, what gaps we have and how to close it.Some may not...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    @Damian I think you are wrong at assuming that it will take a long long time just because you don't have previous experience. I agree to some extent, it takes time if you don't collaborate.As some technology is clearly a state secret.Example-- single crystal blades metallurgy. Look at China...

    @Damian I guess you are entitled to have your assumptions regarding Indo-Israeli cooperation.How much technology is being shared or not shared is pure speculation on our parts and therefore your argument doesn't hold.As you and me are not privy to it.Our Pakistani brothers should be able to...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    We know for a fact that India and Israel have close defence ties.We also know that Israel has extensive experience in developing tanks .We know Merkava is a good tank.We know Chinese also tried to take help from Israel in tank development.That to me means Chinese accept Israeli knowledge when it...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    The main reason US went for 4 man crew is more psychology related than not having matured auto loader options. What I have found on the net consistently in interviews on M1 Abrams is, having 4 people in a tank helps people rest better and distribute tasks(repairing etc.) more effectively and...
