    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Well as far as I know, NATO triple heavy target was created when Soviets were still using heavy tanks and before they inducted their first main battle tank the T-64A... even before they inducted first tank with composite armor, the medium tank T-64. So NATO triple heavy is inadequate to be good...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology All tanks that have main sight on the turret roof, have this sight protected by well armored cover plate, popularly known in tankers slang (at least english speaking) as "doghouse", this "doghouse" provides protection against small arms, shrapnels...

    Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology You are funny you know. You are not making any inconvieniant point, you are just writing BS. Uhhhh, I am such a dishonest bastard, who do not respect little ersakthivel... But who says anything about targetting a main sight? In a normal...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology And again, you seems to have problems with understanding what you read. You said, that there is no weak zone behind Arjun main sight, this is the point, you said so, you are confident in your words. Then You can provie it by participating in such...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology But wait a moment, this is not a subject of this discussion. We do not need penetration proof. This is why we want to perform a test. You made a very clear statement that there is no weak zone behind Arjun's main sight. Ok, but you must proove that...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology First thing idiot, you need to learn how to read, because it seems nobody teached you that, did you even been in a school during your life? :D I said we will do a static test, we will not lanch a missile, we will place it on a frame and detonate it...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology Ok "genius", let's make a test ok? You will sit inside Arjun in a gunner seat, and we will make a ballistic test, for example with use of Nag ATGM, that will be placed in front of gunner sight and detonated. If you will survive by not loosing your...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology You have problems with understanding reality, thus explaining you anything is a waste of time, as you are below comprehension capability of avarage human being. I can only say you are very wrong. And the only purpose of your posts are trolling, and...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Well, I agree overall, however designing your own weapon systems is also important. But designing must be done the smart way, by learning from the more experienced countries, to avoid repeating the same mistakes or reinventing the wheel. This are the biggest problems. And of course critical...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    This is not a rifle, it is rifling. Rifle use barrel with groove, called rifling, simple as this.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    This is probably why Challenger 2 that have Fire Control System based on FCS used in M1A2 and is armed with rifled gun, was actually less accurate then M1A2 and Leopard 2A5/A6 armed with smoothbore guns? :D Maybe we should put an end to this idiotic myth about superior accuracy of obsolete...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Very wrong as Methos pointed out. Besides German DM11 programmable HE round, USA is also developing similiar, multipurpose AMP programmable HE, and there are more, the Israelis have such ammunition, Swedish, Spanish Army as well have HE. Poland is also developing HE ammo for 120mm smoothbore...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    ZTZ-99A2 is bigger and heavier than previous ZTZ-99's. On TankNet the general conclusion is that increase in weight does not comes from more armor protection but more likely from increased size (internal volume) and some improvements to turret to eliminate weak zones present in former tanks.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    IMHO ZTZ-96 and ZTZ-99 tanks does not have frontal protection comparable to T-90 tanks, especially ones with welded turret. There are some other deficencies with their turret design, making them vurnable. Although newest ZTZ-99A2 (or ZTZ-08 as some sources claim) is a different kind of animal.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    The problem is that Pakistanis and Chinese also do not have ammunition in modern standards, they use preaty much analogs of ammunition you use. So I suspect that such engagements would be mostly slug fests where more important would be training, how formations would be commanded and... luck.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Even without ERA, front protection of some modern MBT's, is far above capabilities of most if not all shaped charge weapons. Javelin, NAG and Spike are solution indeed, but they are vurnable to artillery. The only solution is to rearm Arjun and purchase modern ammunition for it. You are...

    It is irrelevant for the vehicle armor protection. As I said, Dejawolfs 3d model and STGN calculations are correct, so stop trolling.

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    This is lack of understanding from your end. The LAHAT and 9M119 are shaped charge based weapons, which means that their penetration abilities are lower against composite armor, especially if this composite armor is protected with universal ERA. Estimations for T-80U which have a slightly less...

    Arjun vs T90 MBT

    Indeed, the small wide field of view cameras might be solution to the situational awareness problems, + some other types of sensors. IMHO this is rather a question of when technology will be mature enough not if.
