Kunal, how come the tanks operate in the silent killer mode? Also, why there is hunter killer config for this tanks without any APC?

I saw this program on Kalaignar TV and was stunned. DRDO is doing some good desi marketing style in making arjun tank famous among the public. Good work Kalaignar TV and CVRDE :D

Light Tanks are meant to operate in hilly, jungle NE Regions and not as a T-72 replacement.

I dont think so Kunal sir. There are lot of modified T-72 based tanks all over the world. Moreover for Tank-EX the tank hull is not modified for it (thought not sure). Degman of Croatia PT-91 of Polnad If this is possible then why cant we make our own version with it? Instead of upgrading...

Might be the day we are boot kicking the *ss of our adversary strongly, mean it with damn thrust :emot180:

If you watched the video properly they would have clearly mentioned about the technologies that German havent tested properly and then they bite the dust, nothing to take away the credits of the soviet industrial capability.

I got enlightenment from my source. As Saya said arjun is specially designed for the Hit-survive pattern of tanks. For most of the modern tanks, the top is weakness, but with that heavy turret design that has been addressed. Arjun can be compared as big brother of Japs Type-10, but again that is...

Sayare, Still i dont understand why the Arjun havent applied the sloped armour tech and went for a conventional design?

Ok, let me clear. Army ordered the second batch of the Mark-I of the Arjun Tanks. Only by 2012 the prototype of Mk-II will roll out. As sayare said batch-2 will be able to fire the LAHAT/CLGM Heli rounds. I urge the mods to change the Title of this thread.

Any articles to support this claim? Dont start the argument for the namesake. If arjun flunked, then this news would have major stories as the selective leak would have happened

Mark - II or Batch II of Mark I. I hope the specs are not finalised for the Arjun Mk-II. Order for Mk-I 248 and it is mentioned as equal number of Mk-II??? something confusing. Or second order is diverted to the mk-ii? As per my source HVF started the work on the 127th tank

Sir, does that means more APU? How will that operate in the hunter killer or Silent killer operations? Because moving a turret of that size require atleast a 8-12KW 360 degree 180 steps (my perception) stepper motor? Could please enlighten?

To tell this is purely fake, But still this is nice, makes the enemies to piss on their pants

Around 10-15% are indigenous present in the T-90, mainly on the armour and some home made some electronics

Exactly, When th mass-production of the arjun starts it price will come down to atleast 12-15% (as per my internal sources). Moreover the indigenous component level need to reach the 80% mark as this is the main concern now in the army camp (this is 55% now). T-90s purchase cant be viewed in a...

This was happned supposed to start at the last year trails were Israelis saw the performance of the arjun and they opened their mouth. They were very much interested in the arjun especially its armour. I dont feel that merkava turret will do that magic in the arjun system? Arethey available for...

LOL!!!, they need to show that arjun is on par with the T-90 :D and T-90 performed well=heheh. Reports are out unoffically. Anthonyji will trust the Arjun in the IA so i am quite relaxed :)

Yet again another arguement!!!! :O. Mods pls start a new thread, pages crossed 100+. Im sick of this arguement yet again :|

As per my inside info, This 1500BHP engine will power the Arjun from 251st tank, till then 1400BHP MTU will power arjuns. 1500BHP will be a indigenous one and the DRDO was working in that some times back.
