True, and not only that, the kind of sophisticated equipment the Abrams has to ensure accuracy of its smoothbore, India cannot match, and finally, moving to smoothbore would reduce the accuracy of the Arjun's main rifled gun, which is one of the best in the world.

Wouldn't addition of turbo-charger result in increase power? In other words, a naturally aspirated 1400 hp, would yield 1400+ hp at the same RPM, if a turbo-charger is added.

Originally posted by @Kunal Biswas, I am reposting them here to give a better view of the right-front edge off the turret armour of Arjun Mark II. It is unclear what kind of additional armour that is. And here are two images of the side turret protection, and apparently, it is not...

Let us get back to posting informative posts again. Please avoid one-liners.

What is that green box for? IIRC, it was some radio wave detector.

No, just this one point. Move the vision block up, cover up the right side of the turret front, move the seeker a little forward, and II think it should be fine then.

@Kunal Biswas, Thanks, but at least they should move the vision block up as in the prototype and extend the armour.

@Kunal Biswas, I think you had mentioned that you had seen a prototype of Arjun Mark II with the optic placed above where it is in Mark I. Do you have a picture of it?

Zee News should have covered up the entire screen with more graphics.

Thanks @Shaitan. Your first tank pictures after the hull of the aircraft carrier. :D I simply love the profile of the Arjun Mark II turret. Very good looking.

Mounted outside where? In the front as in the part highlighted by a pink box?

@ersakthivel, You must provide credit to sources when posting stuff that is not originally your's. If you don't, you are plagiarizing. Please take this seriously. We have had an announcement made earlier on this as well.

Looking back, wasn't the Ukrainian engine 1800 hp? http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/indian-army/51358-arjun-main-battle-tank-mbt-mark-ii-8.html#post740933

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) I have to agree with this. @ersakthivel, it is true that DRDO is doing its best, yet, since we do have a non-uniform front protection, it is important to focus on that vision cutout in the front turret that seems like an Achilles Heel of the Arjun Mark II...

Yes, I saw that. The eye-piece should be near the eyes, not the chin. I think it is work in progress, and he will correct it.

Thanks. Yes, because the second one has a colour picture superimposed on a line drawing. The colour image probably comes from your model, and you probably made some changes later on. So the ratios are different. I knew something was amiss, and now I know it was not an optical illusion on my part.

Ok, so folks, here are the new dimensions. @Dejawolf, thanks for the new image. Anyway, the model is a good piece of work, but I think there are some assumptions. Not saying which one is incorrect, but both surely cannot be correct.

I know. I am trying to get as accurate as possible. Please respond to this post.
