Straight from ISIS technical workshop Whoever designed this must be booted out

It sums up what i said, introspection and not blame others for our own failure

It is surprising that a well oiled propaganda machine being run in Indian news outlet against Russian arms purchases. In a time when nobody provided India with arms Russia posed itself as a reliable supplier who was ready to give TOT. Now ask uncle Sam to build an aircraft carrier or submarine...

T-72 production line closed in 1998 BMP-2 still in production IIRC T-90 well basically there have been news about Russian lack of cooperation on TOT for Gun etc

Kunal why are you so against the T-90S? See whatever happened its the top brass that should be held accountable, with statements like this it serves no purpose. Frankly speaking if Russians have not done full ToT who is to be blamed? Are we that weak that there cannot be arm twisting from our...

T-72 barrels burst because of faulty spare parts. The product in itself if adequately serviced are decent ones. Afaik no T-90 has experienced any blast or nasty thing. correct me if I'm wrong Unfortunately Army has not even given an inch of info how the Arjun MK1 is performing in the 43rd and...

See in a perfect world Arjun MK2 would be inducted boosting so called local capabilities in tank building. Now imagine having invested so much of national treasure is it economically feasible just to get rid of the T-90. Imagine factories set up in TN just to make that tank, simulators and crew...

See my point is that we do not have all the facts. Additionally it has become a recent hype for Russian hardware bashing inspite of these "defence" journalist having no brain. T-90 imho is a good tank not best one, but then its the crew/training that makes the difference. Having spent huge...

Take it back into the context, the T-90 was acquired at a time when Arjun was no where in sight. Is it so easy after acquiring more than 1000 tanks we decide to take a massive U-turn and go to Arjun? Tell that to army guys who already place their bets on T-90.

This whole saga of bashing T-90 is getting boring, I would rather see IA equipped with T-90 rather than outdated T-72/ T-55. Again can we afford a two-tiered amoured forces.

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Only the gas turbine engine was fuel hungry, but ERA were not filled with explosive and bad tactical employment sending tanks without infantry, The same problems were not reported during second chechen campaing :)

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) T-80 is one of my favourite tanks, too bad it never got an opportunity to show its combat capabilities. Chechen campaign was a failure of the commanders and not of the hardware.

@Kunal at the price of these upgrades well might be better to go for new APC. This smell fouls like the Mirage 2000 upgrades :)

CV-90 weights 20-35 Tonnes pretty heavy for Indian conditions. Abhay is basically a souped version of the swedish CV-90 perhaps a joint venture with them can help make the ABHAY program a reality. If we are going to continue with BMP-2 atleast make it to the BMP-2D version it will no longer...

Used to detect radioactive,chemical or biological particles on the terrain they are operating.

Correct me if I'm wrong it appears to be Good truck for riot control unit not a real MRAP, i guess the Mahindra is the one to look forward.

This is for police something that's useful during 26/11 type attacks it can withstand Hand grenades,small arms fire however I do agree it insufficient for the Army but then again the Indian army uses outdated Maruti gypsy so even this Marksman appears to be a dream
