Manc, I have visited research, engineering and production site of an US based MNC that used to produce gas turbines,aircraft engines etc. Few weeks back I have visited IMGT -HAL (Industrial and Marine Gas Turbine), Bangalore. To my surprised I have found HAL engineers more professional and...

Whatever we say, more Arjuns are comming. No doubt on it and there will be no additional order for T90. Army is looking artillary for last 20 years. Still not able to buy. It is not DRDO's fault. So it is better to clean own's house before pointing to others Then why Navy is shouting...

What is UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Reaper is an UACV. So how it is fiction? Pls goggle it. In youtube there are vedios showing American drones killing women and children that is taken from the camera of the drone. So could not get the point that if a tank if unmanned, it cannot distinguish...

You can have plastics and water as armaour but not an unmanned tank. Not to worth replying. Rather than rattling on how T90 is the best tank in this world and copying some link glorifying russian tanks, there hardly anything on the above posts. It looks like talking with a man who wants to keep...

So u r saying that the tank without auto loader cannot hit a tank with auto loader. Pls study the tank battle in GW1 or the technology of the western tanks. FMBT will have laser gun, so no auto loader will be rquired:becky:

All above you have mentioned are too futuristic too reply. There is progress in metal technology in last 20 years but not so much that we can expect plastics or water to become armour in next 20-30 years. Those TV channels show more than what we shall see. USA is sitting on Japan. So heavy...

p2prada, US army has several programmes on future combat vehicle and the 40ton is not the only one. US is focussing heavily on unmanned combat vehicle programme and in that case a 40ton tank is not a bad idea. US can able afford unmanned combat vehicles but we cannot, not even after 20 years...

P2prada, you are trying to fool everybody here by presenting repeated statement on how T90 is better than all other tank. But just look on the the T90. You can surely see how much different it from T72 from design side. T72 is one of the most destroyed tank after WW2 with highest number of...

Could not get how the armour of the T-90 is better than Arjun. T-90 is cheaper and it doesnot mean that we shall allow our solders to burn inside the tanks. Till now 10 T-90 was produced by Avadi with kit from Russia. That is our infrastructure to produce T-90:rolleyes:

MK II may have 1500 hp engine considering 66t weight. DRDO shall not be a fool to offer the army 66t tank with 1400hp considering the drama for last fifteen years

Who is designing the engine? DRDO or some private company? 90% is more than sufficient to induct Arjun. DRDO real quick in MKII.

M1A3 prototype

Not sure if it is life cycle cost, as it is not mentioned. May be due to our smart defence jurnalism :emot100:

"124 Arjun-Mk II tanks would cost Rs.5,000 crores" : each tank will cost 40 crores. That is too much for a tank

The Arjun's most important requirement is indigenization. Then there are still electrical and components and bigger systems like engine and transmission that do not adhere to standards because most are foreign maal. Just want to know how a Russian TOT T90S become indigenization while Arjun...

We can also say T90S does not meet IA requirement, so T90M. Now it is still development

Not sure how a tank become overweight. Abram, Challey, Markava all are above 60 Ton but nobody is saying those are overweight. If Yankees can bring 3,000 Abrams from USA to Kuwait and defeat the Iraqis, cannot we indian bring 125 Arjuns from Ambala, Bhopal or where ever they are to Amitsar or...

That is always good to have higher local component level and 100% is everybody wish. But just curosity, what is the compononet of T90S that is indgenous. Do we manufature all 100% parts of engine, transmission, gun and FCS of T90S in Avadi. Is all the gage, electronics, wiring, sensors are...
