How many ar mata is in russian service?

Less than 100

 

[Marliii]

Less than 100

Even in 0.1% we have to go for a foreign tank k2 should be the best bet.but NGMBT will most likely be purchased

 

[Aniruddha Mulay]

In one of The Print's article lobbying for ATHOS over ATAGS.

 

[t 90s]

Atags is nothing much quality?

Army has shown concern which DRDO hasn't dealt with & what are those concerns, well weight 18 tone vs 15 for ATHOS, rate of fire , higher cost ( cost 11 cr for Athos vs 16 cr for ATGAS ). Quality is not that great either.

 

[airstrike99]

Even after licence build and ToT, we cannot make next-gen tank as per army,
Then it's useless, let's even outsource the army.
Let's float a global tender for next-gen army with 70% ToT.

 

[airstrike99]

How many ar mata is in russian service?

20-30

 

[Marliii]

20-30

There were even news about one getting knocked and the turret can be penetrated by autocannon fire.

Bhai even in that seminar I am seeing way less boots on floor, I hope it was purely technical but a man in uniform who handles tank know more than scientists hands down any day.
They must had invited on the field guys.

no thats not true at all. thats an extremely false statement man.

only thing the army knows is its requirements. and it states its requirements based on offensive or defensive strategy against enemy, also considering the intelligence it receives through organisations like RAW and NSG.

thats why MOD has scientists as scientific advisors not army generals. and army generals as qualitative staff requirement advisors not scientists.

yep. all those fancy APS is useless against 20mm auto canons and attack aircraft autocanons.
thats why army has asked for stanag level protection against all types of aircraft auto canons too. which is not met by T-14 armata.

 

[airstrike99]

Because there is nothing much of quality or so called indigenous in indian desi military tech most of the time. Do not take this forum seriously.

You should not take him seriously.

Lol ok

yep. all you could do is lolling out . because you cannot provide arguments in favor for it. cuz it sucks against auto canons.

all i need is an abrams hull with a bofors 40mm anti aircraft gun fitted in its turret and armata's turret is a dead metal.

I think that you are a new account of @Swiftfarts.

Porki in disguise or just a negative nelly?

 

[airstrike99]

this was a test bed of M1 abrams by US. wonder why they never made these as their main battle tank. it looks like T-14 copied its hull. T-14 is the same but with APS etc.

Porkie want you to have sub standard equipment, i don't. They were trying to get there hand on T 90 after upgraded one started rolling out of Russia & T 90 Better than expected performance in Syria, but have to settle for VT 4.
emergence of Armata has put them on a s**ty position if India buy them in numbers, since there options for getting an MBT in future are minimum or next to nil as Ukraine doesn't have money nor a tank as capable as armata neither does China.

More to do with technological limitations at that time( specially relating to situational appearance ) than design itself.

 

[UnderFingy]

Won't CAATSA sanctions affect T-14? Will India risk sanctions to buy T-14?

That thing will be a pain in ass. It can protect the crew but the tank will be immoblised.DRDO should develop GNMBT and participate in tender

And deliver a product that then become an unfortunate thing like Arjun, piecemeal DHANUSH and continous testing ATAGS, pratical things is what must be done, I must remain here clear that I am talking about future way of work.
Otherwise you just saw Army RFI and the reactions to it.

This MOD should have this because it is scientific is not going to lead us anywhere.
