Srsly though, Excellent trolling skills I must say.

Can't argue with that. Ideas from such a visionary person as you can't be wrong ever. After all you are the gatekeeper of science and technology.

I'm totally in awe at your large glowing brain and how science-ey it is !! I feel an urgent need to petition the UN into appointing you as the God Emperor of mankind. Please glance upon a mere mortal like me and forgive me for my eternal sins o great one.

Russians also employed anti tank dogs. Maybe you should start a kennel business.

There it is !! Thanks for showing the real you. Let me reiterate, show proof that the idea has been found to be workable by actual experts like DRDO, or don't peddle your ideas as fact. Why should research money be thrown down a black hole ?

And could you provide a shred of data to back up all your claims ? I'm the skeptic here, so give me some DRDO whitepaper on how they've found converting old autoloader tanks into unmanned ones are a good idea, without asking to take your words at face value. What proof you have that this avenue...

Do you understand the concept of metaphors and analogies ? The fusion reactor analogy was meant to convey the point that just because some concept is sound in theory, it doesn't always work because of practical limitations. And these are my exact words regarding tech demo, Please provide an...

Indian Army doesn't have $ 600 billion defence budget like the US, hence it doesn't have the luxury of committing to and researching emerging trends involving latest and greatest technologies. That's all what I've been saying. In a idealistic power fantasy where IA Armored corps has the freedom...

That's a bit better in terms of productive discussion. But don't put words in my mouth, I never said Muntra is vaporware, and unfeasible. I said Muntra has a specific purpose, which doesn't seem to be readily transferable into a combat role. I also never said that the concept is impossible, i...

Dude, from where I'm standing you look like the egomaniac here, resorting to name calling without elaborating your point. If you don't have patience for a discussion, just say so in a civil manner, don't be all pretentious and holier than thou on a high horse. Muntra is for all purposes a...

"again", possibility and feasibility are 2 different things. Try to understand the underlying point, without getting fixated on the surface metaphors. Tech demo =/= production system.

Well thought exercises and academic discussions are always fun and thought provoking, but we do need to look at the ground reality as well. There are absolute facts, and then there are contextual facts. I would very much want free electricity produced from a working fusion reactor, the physics...

I believe he's thinking of ways to recycle retired T-72s and make them combat effective again. That's not technically impossible, USAF has had QF16s for a while, Russians are developing small UGVs, Chinese are researching Full size autonomous tanks, but IA has many other things on it's plate...

It may be so In an ideal world, but we live in a practical one. I don't know anything about the internal workings of IA, but taking an educated guess I do see some practical barriers Fund crunch: The R&D work, implementation, testing all of these take time and money, which may not be readily...

That's a bit too specialized way of thinking. For example the soviets expected to start WW3 via the fulda gap, initiating the offensive, and maintaining the momentum till the english channel. Massed armored spearheads were supposed to penetrate enemy defenses and the lead elements were even...

Used in all T series tank coax mgs also. PKT specifically refers to the coax version of PK

Tanks are big heavy complex vehicles. They need maintenance. Tankers/Tankies make their vehicle their home when deployed. Doctrinally speaking, having a human loader is partially justified as an extra pair of hands to maintain the tank. Autonomous drone tanks will still need someone else to come...

These "parallel" tracks are dual pin, in that each segment has 2 pins. Advantage is you can put rubber shoes on these tracks so you don't dig up paved roads. And they're not limited to T-90, even the T-72B3 upgrade has them.

Are those Browning M1919 30 Cals on the loaders hatch ?

Fun fact: In the above photos of T-55s during 71 war, the gun barrel has a makeshift dummy fume extractor at the middle, even though the actual fume extractor can be seen near the muzzle. This was done so gunners could differentiate Indian T-55s from Pakistani Type 59s, which were Chinese built...
