    India's Future Main Battle Tank, NGMBT

    The problem with that idea is both Turkey and Poland have not developed their own indegenous tank, which DRDO has done. In the history of armoured vehicles, No country/company has gone for license manufacturing of foreign tanks, after having designed and developed its own tank.

    We have designs for 4 man crew (Arjun mK1A, Mk2), 3 man crew + manned turret (old FMBT), 3 man crew + unmanned turret (new FMBT) and 2 man crew (new design revealed by DRDO scientists) tanks.

    India's Future Main Battle Tank, NGMBT

    40 ton tank proposed by army with next gen features is next to impossible not only for drdo but even for the americans or germans.50 ton tank (fmbt) proposed by drdo is difficult but acheivable if lightweight hybrid armour ,unmanned remote controlled turret is used.
