Is this model of Arjun MkII?? . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Can't DRDO develop a passive imaging infrared seeker for the CLGM similar to Nag ATGM??That would give the CLGM both fire and forget capability and better jamming resistance.

Yeah,your 1st part seems to be correct.But why they should have problem in developing ammo for a smooth barrel gun??I thought ammos used in a smooth barrel gun are much simpler to produce!!

You're right.Smoothbore has only advantages over rifled ones. But I think that the poor performance of L30 was more due to its very low maximum chamber pressure limit of just 6100 Bars which kept them from firing high energy rounds where as much shorter Rheinmetall L44/M256 has 7100 Bar which...

@Damian,do you have any idea about possible maximum bore pressure the Rheinmetall L/55 can endure???? THANX.

@Damian, You are right in that Arjun MkI's gunners main sight acts as a shot trap and weakens the front turret.Hope CVRDE will fix this issue in upcoming MkII.HEMRL is reported to be participating in the development and their hybrid armor(multiple rubber and ceramic layers encased in composite...

@Damian, I don't think that the rounds were mofied.Because the South Koreans are now claiming that their K 2 armor defeated multiple K 276 rounds from L 55 gun at mere 500 meter range.Now that can very well be over exagrated but can also be true.We can't confirm.

@pmaitra, Yeah,the Abrams will suffer from same problem.That's why the modern composite armors are modular in nature for fast repair.But according to Damian,the newer versions of M1s do not use ceramic tiles to a big extent but uses rubber and other inert dynamic armor.So the effect will most...

@Damian, How can Arjun MkI's front armor protection be 600 mm RHA when it defeated both the IMI mk2 and BM 42M Lecalo rounds fired from point blank range????Because according to the tank protection level site(which you guys often reffer),both have aromor penitration of about 650mm RHA at 2000...

@Damian, It's true that India did aquire the design of Leopard 2A4 but that's all.Actually,we wanted the Chobham armor(or whatever it is called) developed by the Brits.But they denied.So the DMRL started development of the new composite armor and kept upgrading it with time.As far as I know,the...

@Damian, Yeah,the ceramic tiles are problematic indeed due to the fragility.But that does not mean that they do not offer greater protection.The Boron Carbide is the hardest material on earth and at a equivalent weight they are between 6-8 times harder than RHA.That's why the modern composite...

@pmaitra, I will try to answer the question asked to me. The ceramic tiles when hit,are not just get broken but turned to dust.So they will not remain intact even if encased(as in all composite armor).That's the biggest problem associated with and that's why moder armor developers(including...

@Damian, How do you know that Kanchan is based on early Leo 2 armor??All I can see in your posts are just some baseles prediction and nothing else.

@pmaitra, he was right but he did not explained the reason.Let me try. As you know current mbts use composite armor which are made of Tu steel,glass reenforced plastic,carbor composite,kevlar etc but the most important component is ceramic tiles(like boron carbide,aluminium nitritde,alumina...

I think the HVF should use licence produced KPV 14.5mm HMG with the indigenous RCWS,instead of the NSV. . . . .

Bang on target Sir.In this picture it's clearly visible that the turret ring of T 90 is completely exposed and if that portion gets hit by an anti tank round(which is very much possible THANX to the shot trap created by the 'unique' placement of the Kontact V ERA tiles)it will result into a...

First of all Arjun and T 90S both have almost the same height at hull down position,so there goes your theory.Being bigger and heavier,the Arjun has much thicker armor and hence greater all round protection.Besides the ARDE along with the Barakuda camouflage has developed a special paint and...

Any tank is vulnerable to top attack,Arjun is no different.That's why DRDO chief told that they will fit heavy NERA bricks on the turret roof.The turret roof will be attacked only with HEAT warheads and not ke rounds for the forseeble future,so NERA is much more effective there as heavy NERA...

To san,you are correct except the fact that 'we can't build unmanned ground vehicles.Last yeas DRDO had modified a BMP 2 to an 'intelligent autonomus ground vehicl' that can learn about the terrain.It is being used as the base to develop future unmanned AFVs. And yea,60+ ton tanks are not for...
