    The point we are debating here is why the army preferred t-90 with so many issues. If they support CVRDE with large orders of arjun there is no need to gripe about the mythical FMBT. With mil industry complex springing up to support arjun tank in both private and PSu , ther won't be any problem...

    frittering away of such frugal resources for T-90s with all their faults is an even bigger crime. With all humility we are discussing the shortcomings of t-90 and why army is preferring T-90 with so many issues over the well developed Arjuns as per indian army's needs and specifications. So...

    there is nothing that arjun mk-2 can't do for the indian army , that can be done by Armata, And no one has seen are evaluated the operating details of armata either, Arjun has enough space inside for crew to dissipate the heat so that the electronics operate even without AC and saving crew...

    This weak spots on arjun theory of yours has no proof, T-90 relies on ERA which can not withstand repeated hits and designed to blow off in tiles, But the kanchan composite armor block in arjun is good enough to provide the same level of protection of T-90 (with ERA)and arjun doesn't really...

    it is a crime to pick up a tank with no proper evaluation endangering the lives of the crew in it at critical moments in battle in summer conditions and spend billions of dollars of tax payer money on it.

    Arjun MBT successfully crossed the RAVI River at Lassian without support systems due to lower ground pressure. no other tank in IA can do it because even though they are all lighter than Arjun mk-1 their ground pressure per square inch is higher than Arjun , making them unfit for this crossing...

    You are always rude to other members whenever they question the BS posted by you. give me proof that t-80 UD or Al khalid's FCS , thermal sights ,communications and crew can withstand the summer heat in indian border areas in pak in desert summer heat, When T-90 can not do it after years of...

    if T-72 is obsolete then what is the rationale behind replacing T-72 with unfit for desert summer condition tank called T-90? if your car is old will you buy another car that has no chance of running in the time you need it most spending your hard earned money? Why did IA ask Russia to solve...

    Where is the Ac of the T-90 MS placed and how safe it is from sharpnell hit from enemy arty volleys ? Who solved the crew men fainting in heat problem faced by T-90 in the T-90 MS?

    Not pointless Arjun program by any stretch of imagination!!!! the IA continued to pile up requirements on DRDO for Arjun for the sole purpose of inducting T-90s in a large number. Former defence minister george fernandez saw through the gambit and chastised IA for asking full fording...

    There were no defence offset obligations in 2001. The off set percentage for defence project is a very recent development.It doesnot apply to contracts signed in 2001. Also the article clearly says that the antenna was designed and fabricated by LDRE. If the technology belongs to Polish firm...

    [ As per the above pic from the back of the Tc's seat which is right below the vertical crew hatch cover over the Tc's seat is 2500 mm from the front gun mantel of the ARJUN tank. There is no need to include cupola ring to the front of turret measurement here.

    The crew hatch cover and the Tc's seat lie on the same point as per the picture above which is marked as 2500 mm from the gun front mantel plate (from 4 meters to 6.5 meters on the scale )in the line drawing below. When the head of the Tc whose dimensions can be checked by anyone is...

    It depicts the position of the gunner and the TC .If the TC stretches his hand he can easily touch the red stripes holding the yellow box. SO there is no way fro more than a 1000 mm space to be present there. No more than 1200 mm space , as there is no need to fit the gunner i the same...
