The tank is probably still incomplete and might probably recieve an additional armour module at the base of the gun and below the sight.

what did they miss ?

what did they miss ?

IMO, the areas highlighted in violet and indigo might receive armour modules to resemble the shape as highlighted below.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

I doubt, Lets see ..

Though, I hope to see MK2 back in action with some pictures ..

 

[sayareakd]

I think IA should pay more attention to protect the tank from the top for top attack mode.

I wish the armour plates on the both side skirting to be little bit more longer...

 

[Kunal Biswas]

I think the blue part is not simple armour plates, But there is some kind of NERA pakage ..

Note MK1 and MK2 skrits, M1 has thicker at front but not so about the most of the rear, Its not the same with MK2 ..

I wish the armour plates on the both side skirting to be little bit more longer...

 

[sayareakd]

Resistance to change is very common for users who have used to one for long period of time... I think Arjun has reached a stage where there is no turning back from it... IA has also started to accept it... We must not delay to further upgrades to Arjun...

hope so, i want this tank to be inducted in thousands and take on enemy. No point in having tank for R day only.............

Here I would say Ministry of Defense and GOI have to take a stand and firm decision for Arjun's induction with no less than 500 in numbers else it will be difficult to support indigenous development, as one will always be tempted for imports. Apart from that we need a more powerful engine for Arjun ~ 1800 HP will be great"¦

We also need to start with the next upgrade to Arjun MK-2 ASAP else we will be again into the same situation where by the time we are ready with the future upgrades we fall back to others"¦

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

next step is smothbore gun(hope drdo would make a multiclaiber 120/140/152 mm gun) and 1800 hp engine.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Imho, We need to upgrade older MK1 to MK2 level at least ERA and electronic packages, After fully inducting MK2 ..
