well if you make a 50 ton tank it is impossible to armour it upto the level of 67 ton arjun mk2 in the face of rapidly advancing armour technology.
Wrong, weight have nohing to do with protection.
also in the next 10 years we would be developing a tank which doesn't even have the armour protection of a arjun mk2.
Why, because it would be lighter?
DARPA made a concept document where they designed a 55 tons tank with a protection superior to anyother currently used design, there was also smaller 50 tons version with even grater protection. Weight have nothing to do with protection.
let me remind them rifled gun is demanded by the army mainly enabling to fire hesh rounds from arjun's developers and it is one of the most accurate and powerful gun in the world(arde l52) and i am pretty sure that in the mk2 level if some of the arjun's engineers are to be beleived(yes i am friends with some of them) will have better/equal accuracy,range ,armour piercing capabilities than l55 german gun which has become quite famous.
Completely unrealistic fantasy... but like they say, reality is one thing, and fantasy is another.
even with modern era arjun can cut through the armour of those tin cans like knife through a butter.speaking of armour kanchan armour alone is sufficient to withstand point blank range hits from 105mm rcl.
1) You have no proof. No to mention that you do not understand working mechanism principle of ERA and how it interacts with projectile.
2) If armor can protect against 105mm RCL, and acting like this is some kind of superior protection is just pathetic.
as far as i remember those nato tanks has hard ime in iraq with point blank range rpg-29 even though they tried to suppress th news but it still came out.
Well if poorly educated people do not even know what about the whole deal was.
American M1 tanks were hit by RPG-29's in the front armor, without any effect, but the side turret and hull hits close to 90 degrees angle, were able to perforate armor, simply because armor there is thinner, and have slightly different composition.
Challenger 2 was hit in the lower front hull plate which is made only from steel, it was protected then by simple ERA (ROMOR-A type), which does not offered protection against such threats, after the incident, ROMOR-A had been replaced with bolt on Dorchester armor module.
But if people talk about things they do not have even smalles idea, this what comes up, a tons of BS.
same is the case of tin cans in the 2nd chenchnian wars
During 2nd Chechnya war, T-72B tanks were surprisingly survivable, but what you can know about this, eh?
since then kanchan has undergone monumental change and in mk2 version it is even better than m1a2sep abrams(according to some engineers).
Americans have 69 years of experience with composite armors, the armor protection of M1 was changed approx 4-6 times to improve, and then we have guys, that only recently developed such thing and they claim about superiority over people that are working with such things for a much longer time.
The first tank ever tested with composite armor was American M4A2 Sherman with HCR2 modular composite armor package.
I wonder what will be next, that we all are different, stupider spiecies?
BTW How do they know their creation is superior? Did they ever made a comparrision ballistic tests with other tanks used world wide? Of course no, so such claims are nothimg more than empty propaganda.
also drdo has done a smart thing and developed hybrid armour by adding layers of kanchan,nera,era etc to provide full proof protection against modern atgm which uses tandem warheads.
Yeah, you cinsider as ultramodern things, that are known to NATO and former Soviet Union from the cold war times, when countries like Germany or USA are starting to play with nanotechnology.
Well it seems that you like to delude yourself eh?
