Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Mark II

[Twinblade]

looks like that secret green box is taken out so that public and foreigner wont have good look at the it.

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

Saya will have to ask questions about it today.

Arjun Mk2 to is awesome beast

Can it fire CLAM of DRDO??

 

[Dazzler]

What is avarage max fire range in India and on indian desert between India and Pakistan?

IMHO: in Europe GLATGM are not so usefule cose very short range: in Germany 96-98% max fire range is under 1300m, in Poland - under 1500m, more then 70% firefight is on 800m distance...
So im just interesting how looks this problem in Indian evirnoment.

plains and desert, rajhistan and thar, range should be long enough, somewhere between 1500-2300 meters.

Seems like mobility went down ..

Btw is the Engine bhp 1400 or 1500?

What do you mean by mobility went down?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Vast landscape covered with sand dunes, Small, Large and in different sizes ..

That`s one reason why Arjun have higher depression and elevation compare to other tanks in IA fleet ..

So im just interesting how looks this problem in Indian evirnoment.

Pics from Defexpo thread

since we are allowed to go up on tank

this is interesting compare to Mk1, they had ERA now

Kunal sir you were asking for the box in front it is LAHAT targeting system

 

[arnabmit]

Sir, I think this is plate armor for protection against small arms fire, not ERA.

Few things on Arjun MK2 based on talk with DRDO guys.

1. Their will be blind spots on arjun as RCWS can be moved back.

2. Back portion house the blow off panel of tank, therefore RCWS cant be place their.

3. No ERA on top.

4. Block structure on Republic day pic is LAHAT missile targeting system.

5. smoke grenade move 360 degree.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

It same as in T-90S ..

Arnab in MK 1 they had 4 inches of heavy armor plate, but in MK2 it has this.

 

[arnabmit]

But isn't it too thin to be ERA? It barely is 2cm thick.

Sir, did you ask why the gunner sight is not on top of the turret like in the earlier prototypes?

look at the back of plate.

[Kunal Biswas]

There are many things one can do obove those plates, Mount ERA, Mount NERA ..

Besides, It is mounted on another plate already, We will see that too in time ..

What do you mean by mobility went down?

Top speed of Arjun mk1 was 72kmph, Mk2's is just 58kmph. Furthur the weight went up to 68 tons! Wont that affect the mobility?
