Those have obsolete long since.

And you really think that the round they'll develop after all these EOI and RFI would be a huge improvement over the ones we used to have!?

The jokes on you Mate

Quick Question

Why the heck we're going through all these shenanigans when we were already having APFSDS for our Vijayants?

Can't penetrate today's armour s..?

Given the enemy they are supposed to face (Type 15 light tanks), the old rounds will definitely suffice. But I'm not sure whether those rounds are compatible with the new light tanks.

Can't argue there. When it comes to tanks (or armored vehicles in general), DRDO sucks balls.

Bro light tanks will have to face heavy tanks too ....So

compatible with the new light tanks

Ha re, from the oldest Centurion to the most modern 105mm, they all use the same NATO standard 105×617mmR cartridge.

MBTs, you mean. Yeah, the ZTZ 96 will become a problem but luckily, the Army will have a whole bunch of T-90S to make mince meat out of those.

Which one seems to be a more logical solution for the type of high altitude warfare we might face with Chinis!?

Well, in that case, they can be used, I guess. But what if the PLA decides to supplement their light tanks with heavier MBTs?? Although, I'm not sure if the new rounds will be of much help either.

Israeli M426 APFSDS were penetrating 550mm of armour in 2000...let's see the pen figures of this new APFSDS.

Then we'll again get caught with our pants down. We'll again come back to the drawing board. We'll again issue a RFI for medium weight tank

Can confirm that LCA tejas mk1a was not flown
It's a modified sp
Mk1a still in assembly

Nah, the T-90S should do the job just fine. Ok, may be they will need an engine upgrade.

Yes, that was pretty evident based on HVT’s tweet. It was obvious that it was an SP variant of the Mk1 and Mk1a sensors and electronics were installed on it.

I expect some(little) structural changes in Mk a

German engine,Belgian turret everyone was making joke on how private players werent indigenous enough I will have blast seeing them defend this and all of it in 25 tonnes with amphibious capability with a stupid plan to get 59 DRDO tanks and then get others in an open competition.lol

Will the gun be rifled or smoothbore? I noticed that many light tanks have rifled guns for some reason while most MBTs are smoothbore.

As I said

Some people here were adamant that we were making an indigenous turret

Hey Belgium. A few assault rifles were concern for Hooman rites gandmasti, but tank cannons and turrets are fine huh ?

Check changes in the heavily armoured cabin of MARG gun!!

Rifled
All 105×617mmR are rifled
