After mountain role, amphibious role tested during trials, IA can ask for flying role from the tank. I will not be surprised. But somehow they are happy with faulty Russian weapons. Now they are buying vintage Igla S with ToT!!
Nice developments. Now mount an automatic rifle on top of them and send to LoC.
Few officers in MoD/DRDO mastered the art of lying. This is causing India dearly.

relax, i think IA is aiming to get amphibious capability in lieu of those PT-76 light amphibious assault tanks we had in past with this apart from usual high altitude light assault tank thing...so yeah
I am just worried about endless trials IA will ask for till there is another attack from China. At that moment they are ready to take anything to LAC. Happened earlier with Pinaka, LCH and UAVs.

well i agree with your concern here, the amount of things they've trialed so far they can literally write encyclopedias on every weapon platform with that experience...Entire light tank saga,
i fucking remember when choyna had shown their Type-15 and Doklam bakchodi happened i was advocating for our own light tanks on teligram, sadly those chats got deleted by some other members by mistake but @aditya10r can vouch he was there - and some other members kept reminding me WE HAB DEPLOYED TIN-72 IN HIMALAYAN REGIONS WE NO NEED LIGHT TANKS HURR DURR
then galwan and further pangong tso lake things happened and i further said we need light tanks but...TIN-72 IN LADAKH VROO....
and once we got a bloody nose in galwan+pangong tso incident etc the army got sudden ;gyaan; that they need Light Tanks and this Zoravar project was being prepped up
worse it when we already were manufacturing that L7 105mm cannon that powered so many tanks and fighting vehicles with guns we are IMPOOOORTING some same calibre cockerill 105mm turret with muh autoloader and hurr durr...nigah just put these ammo-pusher drives things from existing tech we have here from Tin-72, Tin-90ASS productions etc on a modernized Vijayanta turret etc put some electronics sensors cameras etc whatever you want and get done with it
Same thing can AND SHOULD also be put on WhAP platform to make Stryker M1128 MGS like vehicle here but...
(crosspost from light tank thread because it infuriates me to the core MENE TOH BOLA THAA...)
Every tank has amphibious capability up to an extent. Its not something to be asked separately and neither has been. So try to avoid posting such misleading tweets or news at drop of hat as some intelligent (!) people here would start showing their 1 or 2 liner intelligence at drop of hat.
we can induct limited numbers of SU-57 as stop gap until AMCA comes.
Like muricans won't sabotage the program if they want.
Atleast muricas won't do it's not available to you cause human rights to yea come buy it just next month jumla
Pinaka - what endless trials ??
Blame IAF, MoD and DRDO
IA already brought a large no.of Indian uavs.
Yes but they denied/delayed it for us first so Better not to go back to them.
Murican mic cares about profit more than anything.

That turret looks based on Elbit/IDF and General Dynamics Europe's Sabrah pitch for the ASCOD 2 and Pandur 2 programs. Won't be surprising since Tata has agreements with both and has showcased a barebone UT30MK2 turret on the Kestrel before. I don't know who wanted the hull but they need to stop daydreaming about the Bradley and plug the dumb portholes on it and the WhAP too.
