Kek, many natu natu armees have 120mm standard .
If its vehicle mounted. Then it should be a heavy hitter

You see this , it's a 120 mm A50 Brandt mortar of french origin which we license produce since 60s , tied behind a bullet motorcycle .
But a system like that mahindra one ,should be armed with a 120 mm mortar of a good quality not these ancient ones we have kek . Regardless of whether it's issues to paidal sainik or topkhana

Agreed, for a Mahindra lav type vehicle, a 120mm makes much more sense but I still feel that unless doctrinal change happens, this issue will remain. All power to 120mm mortars from my side, I would say Arty corps should induct 160mm mortars with same automated system more in addition to 120mm ones. 160mm boom boom is something else when compared to 120mm.

This is a smart solution honestly for a 120mm mortar. Hopefully we will see ATVs being used instead of bullets for towing purposes in future as ATVs will be much better. Hopefully either 6*6 or 4*4 like

I believe all these things depend on the type of mission expected & the terrain and then a suitable force structure has to be drawn.

Here's how ruskies are using ATVs for mobility purposes, 82mm mortar

Yeah many times we have taken such implications and believed the report
Even if I remember then there was some missile which was announced by mod and declared failure by sorce based reports
But why I say hit-job is Rajat Pandit

Yes, I can feel that I have been following Indian Military since 2005, and truly you definitely get one of those days every year but believe me you have not seen those 2010s era when every alternative month there was a crash and failure.

Interesting, got the translation from reddit, apparently this is supposed to be state-of-art APFSDS Chinese MBT ammo.

No wonder Army isn't in a hurry to upgrade T-90s protection.

AFAIK our tanks can actually take this on frontal hits without much issues?

Edit - Going off of the diagrams from the T-90 thread, and taking the assumption that composite armour will be only as good as RHA, T72 should be able to take a turret hit from a ~80-90 degree arc to its front. Quite good if the info is accurate.

If what they are leaking is the true manual and actual facts.
