Army's tank after RFI
Backed with alien technology,high tech AI turret with electromagnetic railgun,DEWs View attachment 93059
This will get rejected too. This is too heavy for roads and bridges along the Pakistan border, and too wide to be transported by train. Of course, its rounds can't orbit around the sun and slingshot to hit a spaceship in the Andromeda galaxy.

trishul blogspot says. 7 arjun MK2 are already in testing by 2020. MK2 different from Mk1A.

there is a lot of possibility that MK2 is GNMBT. waiting for def expo in 2 weeks. we might see GNMBT.
Since i don't know much about tanks,if i may ask what improvement would be there in mk2 arjun w.r.t mk1a?

according to DRDO, MK2 = FMBT = FRCV . GNMBT might be separate from FMBT.
according to army, FRCV = FMBT = GNMBT but want everything in just 10 yrs

Maybe this time a three star general with atleast 4 years of remainder service should be made incharge of NGMBT project, make him record every issue raised by IA and the response given by design & prototype team at DRDO & OFB.

also make him(his team) maintain a record of weight of every nut bolt & subcomponent which goes into the prototype, so that they don’t complain of weight later.

If the NGMBT project fails again, IA would be equally responsible.
