    Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Mark II

    I understand that for some of us Indians it will be just enough that Arjun Mk2 is being inducted and IA probably is hoping for the same, to appease some of us, the vocal majority who are pressuring them about accepting indigenous products. IA hopes to do this by inducting just a small numbers...

    There's no hope for Arjun Mk2 unless IA orders 500-700 units of it.

    Is that the new redesigned, weight optimised Arjun Mk2? I see some changes on the turret. Wasn't only the hull going to be reconfigured?

    In the last 2 years there has been an effort to set a precedent by giving the thumbs up to projects like the Tejas Mk2 by the Modi government.
