You made fair few salient point however But the key point there , it was produced and it was supported. Because it was a first generation design They had to prove they could do it before they could move one They had to learn from their first venture. The sweeds would never have canceled the...

Sorry for my late reply as well Projects get cancelled , that happens all the time. But its different with the Americans and Germans they have multiple generations of design and development behind them. Is it feasible for anyone to cancel their first generation design and development...

Is it even feasible to cancel one's first project to build a tank ? Has anyone even perused weapons development in that manner. That's not the point , they went for new tank based on completely different GSQR , If the original GSQR was for T-70/T-90 class tank , we would not have as many...

I am stating a fact here Army GSQR was an important part to the fault with Arjun. They did'nt want a tank with the Arjuns GSQR when it was ready for them. This was the case for valid reasons there were changes in the situation , delays foremost among them. They should have have been wiser at...

This is what annoys me the Arjun, FMBT and the armys entier tank procurement streategy. Arjun was based on army gsqr. But it turns out they dont want that gsqr anymore. Today they have no have no bloody idea what they even want in their fmbt. I am worried they will give us another gsqr...

T-55 and T-72 will be removed over the next 15 years. FMBT will replace all other tanks over 15 after that. Also Arjun is only deployed in one theater and only defensively , so logistics is eased somewhat. Same way IAF deploying its entire Mig-29 fleet in one airbase.

is't the 40 tonne tank pretty much the holy grail of tank design , i really don't its possible to make such tank with Current technology. Especially with all the features. FMBT has to be 50tonnes.

Not so Army has ordered 248 MK-I's and an additional 124 MK-II. Giving us a total of 362 Arjun in the fleet. Around 6 regiments to operate in defensive maneuvers in the Thar desert region.

Arjun MK1 Can't be , both the Turret and Chassis are different. It fundamentally a new tank

From , what i read , this is just supposed to be an upgraded MK1 , not the Mk2 Arjun has better ground pressure per tonne , than the t-90. But its difference is not significant enough to actually bridge the difference in weight. Arjun will always way more than the T-90.

I don't know how i feel about this denil , No one who has insider ques just blabs on the forums. I wouldn't just take this guys word for it. This is just like the Chinese saying The only thing i can do is get on with my life s for the next 2-4 years and wait for this stuff to start coming...

Two tanks can only be different in so many ways. Arjun has better Mechanics , Armor , FCS and Gun. That has already been established. It is a tank of higher weight class it is going to perform better. It's simply packed in with a lot more stuff which is more modern than whats on the T-90...

Funny enough , i felt the same way when i replied to you. look , this is way of topic. German tank design and tank production of the 1940's , Just because they say this and that in few documentaries does not mean they are telling you the absolute truth. The Germans had three Primary tanks in...

Arjun has horizontally slopping Armour on the Front. There is also some Vertical sloping but not to a major degree. Why the sides are not slopped. A sloped turret from all angels is design choice and a requirement. Sloping the Armour can either reduce the weight or reduce the space inside the...

This is a baseless argument and also wrong. In WWII , german tanks were bombed , Ran out fuel , and all ran out of tanks (because production lines kept coming under attack by Allies air raids, the Germans lost more of their air force over Britan , Eventually the Allies had attained Air...

Arjun trumped T-90 at the trials, no article refuted that claim , Only thing that had happened was an Increase in orders for the Arjun. Now another order for the MK-II Arjun battle tank. Yet people continue to doubt.

Most of the advanced Features are future spec for FMBT requirement. Which includes the "lasers"

that same logic could be employed by a fanboy for making a fake . Don't get me wrong , i would very much like the Arjun to take design ques from German tank design , who themselves have a very good history of fine tanks. But that picture is very much un-substantiated. ]

India Reverses Gear, Puts Arjun Tank Back in Production I have some speculation , but first read this section from the article IA reducing number of tanks ? come on Why would India ever reduce the number of tanks it has , we are already in a short fall as it is. But according to this article...

Well lets be honest about that . If the tank is really that much better than the Arjun , we would be better of with the foreign tank, right ? we were angry with the Army for not sideline the Arjun but for doing so to get an inferior product If however , the tank is inferior to or similar to...
