look at the excuse.
They avoided all the time consuming test for this design and went on with older design..

Indeed! Why would the DALALs... oops I mean Army, not pick a turret with less weak spots which they'd have to induct?.. Why indeed?wonder why this was not selected.
can u do analysis of this turret. How can we mount ERA on it.Indeed! Why would the DALALs... oops I mean Army, not pick a turret with less weak spots which they'd have to induct?.. Why indeed?
Wait a few days... I'll make a TankEx with this.can u do analysis of this turret. How can we mount ERA on it.
You mean the fuel tanks?.. Those are to carry extra fuel to be spent first & jettisoned before getting in action.Can anyone tell what those two drums are for at the rear??
Last trial was at 3km. Max range is 4.5km, so maybe that?
JUST IN: India’s
@DRDO_India
releases picture of Laser Guided Anti-Tank Guided Missile test today from an Arjun tank today (the second in 9 days) at the firing range in Ahmednagar, says it ‘defeated a target at longer range’.
Right. Arjun is amazing. No doubt about that. However, unless you are of firm opinion that Army consists of sell-outs, kindly let them decide the mix. That said, I would like them to atleast order a number where some sort of manufacturing eco-system is sustained for Arjun. The same system can be leveraged in future indigenous projects. The government should make additional outlay to this end.Arjun is well suited for operation is Rajasthan as well as Punjab. Arjun even operated at marshy areas of Punjabwhich were thought previously as un-tankable by T-90 and T-72s or even older generation tanks.
What is the need for scrapping T-72 altogether.SCRAP THE T72
Buy at least 8 regiments of 20-30 tonne light tank or Chinease border ie 400 tanks
Currently, we have so many offerings from Kalyani, Tatas and OFB, then what is the need to go for imported guns?300 + mobile artlillary guns from korea or USA
In this very poster it shows that the current MBT possess an APS. But what I know is that for an APS a hit-to-kill projectile should be present. Shouldn't use of VIRSS be considered as a passive protection system?Very nice poster of Arjun mk1A
Yes, it's not hard-kill APS, but can pass for a soft-kill... It's not just usual smoke grenade launchers of T-72/90. This got laser sensors that are mated with rotatable smoke grenade launchers.In this very poster it shows that the current MBT possess an APS.

If I am not wrong drdo has developed the similar soft kill system against laser.Yes, it's not hard-kill APS, but can pass for a soft-kill... It's not just usual smoke grenade launchers of T-72/90. This got laser sensors that are mated with rotatable smoke grenade launchers.
It warns the crew on being lased by ATGM's laser guidance or enemy tanks laser rangefinder & its launchers turn to create smokescreen to cut off the guideance laser beam any 2nd gen ATGM, or hide the tank from enemy gunner's sight.
Compared to Stora which automatically turns the turret to face enemy & dazzles the laser source but emits crazy IR signature.
This helps against both guns & guided-missile ambush.
