No it will be for mk2.. The radome development is synonymous with the radar...

So how well it coexist with Brahmos-NG? @Kuntal tagging you too.

I have a feeling that the turret ( front section ) of Arjun mk2 will be of a new design. I can't confirm it but let's see .
It will be, as I had mentioned earlier that 4 prototypes each made of HNS have been sent to CVRDE.
What's taking so long?.. Any updates?

For the rest of ya, Arjun hull with old FMBT turret.

Bharat 52 in stowed configuration

View attachment 58174

Im a big fan of this gun. Probably not fair to Elbit, because Athos was trialing before Bharat 52, Dhanush, and ATAGS, but I rather Bharat 52 get all Elbits orders. Israelis are helping Bharat Forge with their arty programs anyway.

Which company is making engines, transmission systems , gearbox , suspension etc for these TATA trucks ?? How is it not screwdrivergiri ?

According to the link you have provided army has Also ordered Tata trucks as per their requirements , may be Tatra trucks were found to be more suitable for that particular terrain or purpose ?
Beml gets kits from tatra , then assembled them in india, paint, tyres are from beml. They are not made in india. Tata trucks are made in india. More than 90 percent of there trucks are made in india, not ordered from foreign country like tatra. They make engines in india , and everything . Cummings have 50:50 percent joint venture with tata in india and had 3 factories here. Not only parts are sourced from india but also build here from scratch. Thats not the case with tatra trucks. Infact tatra trucks cost less if directly ordered fron tatra but hey we have to employ beml .

Did you read the last paragraph before quoting ?
Army has ordered both types are trucks along with several other types of trucks ( including Volvo , ashok Leyland etc ) , for different purposes and terrains .
Should we use trucks of supplied only by Tata?

What is the source of your misinformation that these trucks are not made in India ?
BEML is importing the engines , transmission etc from Europe but the rest of truck is manufactured in Kerala .
Just like Tata is manufacturing trucks After arranging engines , transmission etc from other foreign companies .
BEML is assembling and modifying these trucks for special purposes ( like for pinaka rockets ) why would we give it's specifications to Czech Republic to buy it directly ?

What is the contribution of TATA in this so called 50-50 partnership except money ? Do they own any IP rights ?
Did they develop any technology ?

If we are already using Tatra trucks for some special purpose like ( for example pinaka ) , should we order Tata TRucks too and create maintenance nightmare ?

The Plastic Bullets by TBRL

Its a non-metallic, non-toxic, and non-expanding bullet.

Can be fired from an AK-47 rifle

Mass of this bullet is 10 times less than service ammunition, the recoil of the weapon is significantly reduced.


The aerodynamics of this design drastically reduces the kinetic energy of a bullet, which is approx. 250 times less than service ammunition at a 50-meter distance

Won't these just bounce off skin at 100m+ range?.. Or are these meant to be non-lethals for police?

And this time, let's hope it was an unqualified success! Remember back in June 2019, there were doubts caused by conflicting reports. The overall consensus seemed to be that there was a glitch in the separation of the booster from the scramjet.
