Highly unlikely.

NO, IT DOESN'T!! It's just a big effing myth. T-90 has thicker armor than Arjun as well as having much better and more uniform coverage, as in, more of its surface area being covered by the said armor. Whoever gave you that idea??!!

Sorry to have to say this but that's Cap.

And unfinished.

That'd be an abso-bloody-lutely horrible idea.

Ha, thik hai, cartoons hi bana le, aur kuch to hone wala hai nehi tere se. Meanwhile, Arjun will remain the same heap of junk that it is.

Pretty much. Ok, so what?? How are these trivia even relevant to my question?? You said Arjuns CAN"T fire APFSDS rounds at all, which is demonstrably untrue.

Well, yeah, except for Arjun - they took the right decision with Arjun.

What about the hull ammo stowage, where the bulk of the rounds are stored??

Yes,definitely.

And what about their performance?? In similar situation, Arjuns would have performed far FAR worse, you may rest assured. Arjuns can barely be considered a proper MBT by today's standards, and the Army was perfectly in the right in their decision to curb its numbers.

There were no alternatives available at that time and Arjun was nowhere in sight.

Good luck with that one. And the design of the hull front should be changed to something more in line with that of the Leclerc.

At this point, we will be better off importing the Armata with a redesigned autoloader than repeating the fubar that was project Arjun all over again.

But the question is - does the army actually need an extra 250 of these machines?? And can the fund be better spent on something else instead??

Apart from the M1 Abrams (and the Arjun MkII to a lesser extent), all other modern MBTs including Leopard 2s and K2s are just as much vulnerable to getting ammo racked as are the Russian T-series MBTs.

Bullshit!! Arjun is overweight due to horrendous design optimization by our clueless DRDO walas!! I've told you before and will repeat this again - quit peddling this crap, seriously, quit it!! That's about the only advantage Arjunks hold over the T-90s (apart from extra 3 degrees of gun...

Rise of the beast - abbe pahele paida to hone de yaar!!

I wasn't talking about T-72M1, I was talking about the Arjun. I see, so the 58.5 ton figure is empty weight I take then??

Nah, they made the right choice as far as Arjun "MBTs" are concerned but this dillydallying with ATAGS has no excuse at all.
