    I see, that was the reason behind that silly, irrelevant comment about patriotism? Before attempting to use sarcasm, or state the obvious "new rounds are not ready because....", yeah which we all know, do some reading & interpretation yourself about what was said, or better still ask. There are...

    The designers in those countries are not morons, Damian. You would approach the usage of that term, to have not even realized the simple fact that designers design according to threat perception and user requirements. If you don't even understand this basic fact then you have no business...

    Has it struck all of you experts that those who have operated Russian equipment, seen its strengths and weaknesses first hand, are fed up with Russian armtwisting (as a supplier) would naturally gravitate towards exploring other options? Occam's razor. Instead, y'all think he is an American...

    Damian, those designers do these things in real life. They have decades of experience. India actually has had over 2 decades of experience with smoothbore cannons, and it can literally pick & choose the who's who of world armor to work with them. Yet they have peers noting the rifled cannons...

    Damian, don't waste my time with your stupid claims of "patriotic statements" etc. Understood? I don't have the patience or the inclination to put up with your claims which are way off the reality, especially when you try and use your lack of first hand knowledge, combined with internet reading...

    Damian, for all the efforts you put into your book knowledge and internet forum hopping, you clealrly haven't conversed with designers, manufacturers or even industrial sources dealing with anything Indian def. Because if you did, you'd understand as to the potential of the Arjun 120 mm & why...

    Actually Ajai has only mentioned a fraction of the sh*t that has gone on with the T-90 deal. What he has said is very well known to anyone who even occasionally talks to IA, Procurement, Industry personnel even at public events. The T-90 deal is a fracas no questions asked. Now kiddies can...

    If there was enough money, your politicians would not stop it. Thats basically your problem the scale at which India and China are investing, and developing - you guys cant match. Thats the basic point. I don't need to.I know enough about Poland;s industry to realize that you guys have...

    Austin, build what? Indian licensed production follows a very standardized process. We move from SKD (semi knocked down), to CKD (completely knocked down) and only then domestic production (even at which stage we may be importing subsystems) to finally phase-x domestic manufacture from domestic...

    Dude, please don't try and make a bigger joke out of yourself. I know I am talking to a teenager still sponging off mommy and daddy's allowance but before you spout rubbish, try to understand something, most adults don't have the patience to listen to your bunkum and then give you credit for...

    Austin, if you ask any random kid on the net, that too with a history of BS'ing about what happened with the T-90, then prepare to be fed BS. Whats happened is worse - the Russians backed out of the TOT agreement. This is the third time they have done so in recent years. The first was the Bison...

    What slightly higher accuracy? Are you even aware of the trials results? Tell the exact results or admit kindly, that as usual, you are fibbing.

    Check out the cost of fancy timed rounds. HESH performance remains phenomenal. It can take out RCC bunkers with pin point precision.

    Like you and your chum know nothing about India in this thread. If you knew anything about India & Indian industry, humility would have gone a long way. Ha, a reengineered T-72 and we are supposed to be impressed. With all due respect, this is no great shakes by any means. You are wrong...

    One of the reasons I rarely find myself coming to this forum or the internet in general, is due to the amount of comedy on it, guys like you mentioned. Likely to not even have cleared "kaalij", yet to hold a job, yet to even achieve anything in life, understand anything beyond what other...

    The US is an empire and can afford to keep its IP as it funds its own industries liberally. Others collaborate, eg South Africa with Israel.

    Yes, now what were the different rods fired at the Arjun in live fire tests? Thats the point right? What you guys have is exterior shaping which tells you the Arjun is the Leo2A4 or has significant issues etc. What the Indian side has is extensive live fire testing and other tests per IA...

    Made for the media. These are how conversations go "so you say Arjun is a heavy MBT, show us other specifications"... Money talks..besides which sharing general design information is meaningless unlesss you can productionize it. Which is where these issues come up as a way of ensuring JVs...
