Arey mere baap. Try to understand technicalities even before commenting anything.
We have deployed and would be deploying tanks at 11 to 12k feet. Not 16k feet.
The project Zorawar would be powered by a 1000 bhp or 1400 bhp engine. The FATs are powered by a 350 bhp engine. Comparing the power requirement of a SPGH and a towed gun is even more outrageous then comparing an Apple and Orange.
Maaf kar bhai. Maaf kar. Aise bina sar pair ke comments mat kar.
Tumhara baap jaaye kahin bi.
And you changed goal post yet again, I have seen this type of your kabbaddi many times with many members.
I was talking about weight requirement, here every one is talking about weight requirements, never knew ATAGS have now to use it's own engine to move at a speed of BMP-2, mind you there are pictures of BMP-2 passing Dongkla pass in sikkim at 18,000 ft and it weighs full 20 tons.
So, I can say weight issue is clearly out of the loop now.
There is some inherent problem with you.
At the height which you are thinking of for a TOWING GUN to perform and which your import army desires, I can tell you only SHARANG of 52 caliber avatar can fit the bill, but hey it's not sexy.
Your Athos is not going to bring anything new also it has yet to be tested if I am not wrong at the heights and conditions of himalayas.
It's another story by that time miraculously every CRACKS, Bursting, Non-performance of hydraulics type of news will be thrown under the rug.
Fekte tumlog ho, goalpost mat change karo.
Weight wise, you have to now admit that ATAGS has no issue.
Power ki baat yahan nahi hui thi and ATAGs does not have to move kms on it's own and if I am not wrong in these 5 years of trials it should have proven that too otherwise Import lobby would had sure published the news.
