Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT)

[Damian]

i think T-90 is Powerful or Superior to T-80UD!!!
so did the IA brought T-90 and building them 1000+ tanks.

Both tanks are comparable. You need to remember that Pakistani T-80UD's are not based on older Object 478B but on Object 478BE that have turret welded not from CHA but RHA, so protection can be just the same, capabilitis also.

SO the only advantage of T-90S with turret welded from RHA is that IA have them more than Pakistanis have their T-80UD's.

In the T-90 thread we are discussing Arjun. In the Arjun thread we are talking about T-90.

Is this model of Arjun MkII??

it seems arjun production is much faster than the t-90 production. after few years if t-90 production still remains sturdy then Indian army, forcefully hi sahi, will be made to go after arjun.

It is quite the opposite.

Nobody can force the Army into buying something.

IA isn't the Swiss Air force.

you know what, i actually agree with most of what you say and i appreciate your courage to stay true to what you believe. The Arjun is a great tank according to me and i agree it needs a lot of retrofit to make it the best but i still dont see anything that Pak or China can throw at the Arjun.

AFIK Arjun has been fielded with the 43 and the 75 armored regiments, can any of the experts tell me how the IA intends to use the Arjun in the future for example is it a part of the RAPID, or the 3 armored divisions or independent armored brigades? will it be part of holding formations or the offensive formations? Where will it be deployed in Rajistan desert or the Punjab sector? also does anyone know which corps or division the 43 and 75 are a part of ?

This is a open forum, Even if someone get the info, he should not risk posting here..

RAPID are quick reaction units deployed when enemy opens up offensive, They are also responsible to counter, Counter attacks..

In Cold start, Yes it will be part of Offensive Operations, As presented in Operation Sudershan Shakti..

Both Rajasthan, Punjab And Thar, But mainly Rajasthan coz of few Numbers..

i would say arjun tank is desert ferrari, just jump in and cross the desert in cold start with firepower and protection.

Im sorry never meant to compromise national security but I actually wanted to know from the experts how they would use it or how it should be used.

My theory is that it should be used in the offensive formations to make break out and encirclement of enemy formations and the T 90's are for holding the enemy....just my theory

It depends on the strategists and plan makers, Indeed Arjun can take part in coordinated offensives, Arjun MK-1 and T-90S are the most modern in terms of Fire power, Mobility and Protection, Its the T-72M1 Ajaya looking after the flanking positions..

May be you are right but with your definition India would not require more than a hundreds of Arjun as the so called desert sector is very limited. There is no desert sector where there are no water obstacles and water logged bodies in depth.



therefore, is Arjun just a 50 km tank and Inshah Allaha after that. Why should we develop a tank which is fit to applied in 50 km or border stretch out of 2000 km stretch where tanks are applied.


DRDO makes equipment for their pleasure and to keep their bread.

Your theory stands upside down. Reverse it and it may some sense.

Arjun can operate in all places, It mobility is better or same as T-90s and T-72, So does the transportation..

Arjun ability to drive through water channels 5–6 feet deep or more.

Your theory stands upside down. Reverse it and it may some sense.

Care to back that statement up with an example where DRDO came up with a product without keeping staff requirements in mind ?
