True but if we stop now, we will throw years of 'R&D' and money down the drain. We need to deploy them learn more and take input for the next gen MBT.

Not you have red effect and binkov all lambast russkie products. We have to acknowledge Arjun has problems but yes it's better than present t-72. We can hope it evolves like LCA project.

Any interaction from different armies can teach you something. To think Indian armed forces know it all that's ridiculous, I'm sure we can pick up something. In regards t series tank being crap, I'm not sure. Because wars have been won by India using these very crap. If you suggest moving to...

Well it's no Shame to be on the learning curve. If because they lost they withdrew permanently from the competition that's stupidity. Learn from mistakes

No I believe or understand that the tanks were provided by the Russian. T72B3 iirc. Mishaps do happen tracks breaking etc. You can see similar videos for leclerc or Abrams tanks.

Something interesting happened. Does that mean Indian crew were not up to the mark?

Actually Arjun experience should be applied for next gen tank but exactly what tech can be transferred to T-90 production

Same was confirmed in one of the episode of security scan on RSTV. The same old tank manufactured since 2004 by PSU. As usual no upgrade or improvement in production

There must be a reason why the top brass trust T-90. Otherwise there could be no reason to scuttle the project

What's the benefit over existing suspension used in T-80 or T-90?

Will it take a lot of time to redesign the Arjun turret its kinda of weird with this boxy thing looks like Leopard 2A4.

There may be disagreements but should be polite. Hopefully everyone remembers that but I do like this thread so cheer up guys :)

@ Kunal redesigning the Turret will not give Arjun a lower silhouette on the battlefield plus it appears crew comfort is ahead of the T-series from the above picture.

You are again not getting my point are we moving from 125mm to 120mm and if so how we justify the maintenance of the huge park of T-72/T-90 and given that we are not going for huge numbers of Arjun I'm clueless. You are evading my question by talking about MK3 this is years away. Is it wise to...

I beg to differ on this when you have an armoured corp using only 1 tank this simplifies logistics and you even gain on economies of scale,given that we have a large tank force. For example let's get to the ammo Arjun uses 120mm and T-90 uses 125mm so we need to produce two types. At the end...

BSF is a paramilitary force. Even if Arjun is good tank I think its too late now,how can we afford a so many tanks in an army. This will only create more logistics headache for the planners,I've been through this thread and not a single point to make on this logistic aspect.

It again brings the point can we afford to have a two-tier tank force? This add burden to logistics think about it 120mm shells for the rifle gun,add to that Lahat missile and lots of components do not match with the T-series tanks we have, is it wise to spend money on T-72,T-90 and Arjun.

It sound all nice to have "indigenous" tank and we can accept that due to lack of knowledge it took DRDO many years to make it. But given that this tank would atleast serve us for next 15years what will happen when countries like Russia or USA will bring in their new tanks we would still...

Why not sir we do import some of our political leaders :)

Nobody want the Arjun tank came too late with too many deficiencies. I believe DRDO wasted money funding should have stopped the day IA chose the T-90 tank.
