@pmaitra Can you explain why my views are so similar to other people who are recognized to know such things? Can you please tell me why most of the stuff the retd brass mentioned on Stratpost were mentioned by me many times many years ago? Even in the debate story from Defence Line about...

Use the quote feature. It is simple [ quote ] My post [ /quote ] Your post. Repeat. (Remove the spaces between brackets.) We don't need most of the features you have talked about. And the T-90MS carries stuff that IA in particular will not use. We are yet to see an India specific...

That's BS. He writes whatever he wants, and I'm not allowed to? I have already provided the rebuttals to anybody who has bothered to read the thread from the beginning. The answers I gave him were more than enough. Post 16...

@Hari Sud Arjun is going to get air conditioner too.

@Singh @Ray Can you please tell me why Kunal deleted my post?

The earliest known FMBT specification was aimed at creating a light weight MBT. A 40 ton tank that has more protection and firepower than T-90 and Arjun. Although we do not know the current progress on that front, there were rumors that the weight has been changed to 45-50 tons instead. We do...

It has nothing to do with govt. That's how long it takes to build a tank, regardless of who's building it. CAG will be on their behinds. The director can be arrested for corruption. The Soviet Union, and today Russia, both have very long testing periods before anything is inducted...

Don't worry about it. Only T-90 can operates in that region anyway. The upgraded version is 49.5 tonnes. There is no difference. APC is part of the FICV. You can believe what you want.

Oh, but sgarg is saying tanks are like his Lego toys, they can be built in 6 minutes. How can that be? Oh, the world! Anyway, this news is from 2011. Indigenization is 85% now.

Because that's how long it takes to build a tank from scratch.

Next you will say 9 months is too long for a baby to be born. You have no knowledge about the military to give me any assurances. Even their FICV quality is not guaranteed. Military equipment is an entirely different cup of tea compared to civilian vehicles. Civilian vehicles survive only...

MoD has already approved new T-90s for NE and Ladakh. Army scuttles Arjun trials to push through T-90 purchase | Business Standard News That's BS. The T-90 weighs 48 tons. And what is your take on what we should be using there? The lighter 67 tonnes Arjun Mk2? You shouldn't make...

The upgrade and the numbers to be built are independent. Most of the T-90s are meant for the strike corps, so the number of T-90 orders won't decrease. As I mentioned in the post you quoted, T-90 orders are set to increase with new orders for 6 regiments for the NE region and 3 in Ladakh...

85%. Some electronics are imported. Very little or nothing comes from Russia as far as the rest of the tank is concerned. Gun, engine, transmission etc is made in India on license. Armor used is the same as the one in the Arjun. So it's ours. We have been making the same hull for the last 4...

Yes, the same was done for T-90. The only difference is Arjun failed repeatedly and trials had to be conducted repeatedly until it cleared. Even in 2008, the Arjun's engines failed 4 times in just one run. T-90 cleared trials the first time without any problems. It took only 1.5 years for Mk2...

2A46M4 is meant for the T-80. It would be great if the army opts for the 2A82 instead. Any idea if they have chosen an APS for both T-72 and T-90? If they are making one for Arjun then we may see this system on the T types too I suppose. We may eventually see a lot of DRDO developed gear on...

That's some interesting development. Is that the upgrade planned for the first 600 odd T-90s also? The gun and the ERA? I'm sure BEL can deliver India-specific electronics. Any information whether they plan to fit a radar on the T-90?

We plan to use the T-72s until the end of their meaningful life. The FICV project will deliver future APCs for us. Just modifying older tanks to APCs would see objections from the companies working on the FICV. FMBT will progress as planned. It has not been scrapped. CVRDE has already...

1000+ T-72s are being phased out and replaced with the T-72. We can't really sell those tanks because their service life is over. Nobody will touch them. The remaining 1500-1600 tanks are being upgraded with new engines, electronics and guns. They should be able to survive for another 10...
