Looks sexy. But not necessarily useful. Let's talk production cost, training cost, maintenance cost and time to have better overview. At least T-72 can be fielded in huge numbers and take lots of beating taking into consideration tough Indian deployment conditions

Glad someone finally said this. We tend to pass buck of our failures on someone else. Just imagine not T-90s or Su 30MKI, we would be fighting Pakistani with sticks and stones waiting for indigenous or western arms. Fact remain all our wars that were won was largely due to those very Russian...

One more reason for Ukraine to be part of Russia. It's goods not going to be exported to EU despite all the hype. Since end of cold war factories in Kharkov are slowly and painfully dying. Russians managed to revive their defence industry. Ukraine sold everything for pennies. PS:T-80 tanks is...

Hi Akim any idea if there are still veterans of the Soviet Afghanistan war in service with Ukrainian armed forces?

Basically I'm worried just looking at the reviews of the T-72A which is considered to be upgraded version of T-72M1 that India operates in large quantities.

You know if his forces enter Ukraine its a matter of days before he takes Kiev :) What about T-80 which is also in service with Pakistan? I see only T-72 and T-64 tanks

Excuse me if repost.

@ Dazzler what has been Pakistan experience using T-80 Tanks and is it staffed by elite units only?

I read that Israelis were the first who readily deployed ERA on their tanks,Russians and Americans may had designed this but they were still reluctant to adopt the ERA.

Please check out the videos specially Arjun lovers the "specialist" demolish the acquisition of Arjun on accounts of logistics which is fair imho. One point a brigadier makes out how many derivatives Arjun has 0? I agree only if sufficient numbers are to acquired then only the derivatives can...

Defence Line Army's Battle With Arjun 23 June 2012 Part 1&2

So let's imagine a standard Russian squad with the classic RPG-7 irrespective of the warhead plus a guy with a disposable RPG-28 rocket launcher. Exactly what does the regular "manual" calls for if a regular team encounters tank will it wait for specialised team, own tank.air or arty support to...

In IA if i'm not mistaken we issue Carl Gustav as the standard "light-weight" rocket launcher, the SHIPON is given to specialised units similar to what Ukraine does. However ATGM and Heavy rocket launchers that's what I wanted to know how are they distributed are to "heavy infantry type"...

That's what I was thinking its a 1 shot kill thing for eg the RPG-30 has a range of 300m compared to the 700m of RPG-29. I think that this disposable rocket launcher can be useful only for special ops unit correct me if I'm wrong. Can you tell me how the anti-tank launchers are distributed in...

I have 1question regarding anti tank rocket launchers why would one use a one shot launcher (RPG-30) instead of a reusable rocket launcher (RPG-29). Both of the rocket launchers mentioned above are considered to be in the heavyweights in Indian army they use SHIPON,RPG-7 and Carl Gustav which...

This is a really good protection for the commander handling the HMG and imho its much better than any remote controlled device. Wish we came with something like this on our MBT but I believe our top brass doesn't believe we shall be engaging urban combat rather all out war.

Syrian tankman gives an interview about the T-72AV
