    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    That's what I have been saying all along. Whatever armour (+.tech) we received with T-90 from Russia was not up to mark, while Kanchan is way better than any armour we could received from a foreign source. There is a reason why Kanchan has it's well-deserved & widely acknowledged reputation...

    Exactly, that's what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    @methos: Does not matter. It's public knowledge & widely acknowledged, no matter how hard it is for some people to digest facts. Now, Read below: . Now, tell me what really matters, acceleration or top-speed ? Again, one/few islolated testimonies would not change the basic fact that...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    So, now you agree that Kanchan (a product developed for Arjun) is way more superior than T-90's armour. Ground Pressure is genuinely low by any standards given a tank of its size & volume & that's a feat of engineering excellence in itself. Increase in wight actually have NO effect on mobility...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Armour layout is indeed superior in T-90 but armour itself.....no way. Kanchan is in different league altogether. Anyway, since you have conveniently ignored most of the advantages of Arjun that I stated, as if they do not matter, there is nothing left to debate.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    I have reasons to believe that people on this thread already know, whatever you have stated. Nobody supports this position out & out that Everyone knows & openly concurs that it is not vastly superior. Not yet. What's being said is: Arjun MKII is a decent tank, fulfills IA's GSQR (more or...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    When was that said by me, or anyone on this forum? You keep imagining things. Bad. Yes, morale upkeep matters. Everything he says is correct. It is just that it is his business not to reveal all details on all platforms for public consumption. He is only doing his job when he shares as much...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    What the heck.....why are we constantly importing basic necessities like bullets, rounds, ammo etc, even after paying for ToT? Would it start hampering our "operational preparedness" if Indians start doing it themselves ? :frusty:

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    A chief has loads of responsibilities. One of that is, keeping the morale of his young chaps, high, no matter what. High-level statements are often misconstrued to be the ultimate wisdom & the absolute truth. There are always additional, relevant details that cannot be shared on a media...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Completely, on-the-mark you are. CSIR owned labs have a worse record when it comes to contributing in strategic domains e.g. space, rare-earth materials etc. Quite close. Arjun numbers should be increased gradually but armour itself should not be the first priority. There are way too many...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Superb riposte. No one can disagree with the fact that we need to start somewhere, someday, with something that is less than perfect initially, to achieve "real operational-preparedness". For starters, let DRDO focus on the R&D, niche-tech & prototyping work while the indigenous private...
