Alphauddin…..
@Arad Operator bhai shed some lightAlphauddin…..
hey guys how good is the kmgt ? why was its development stopped ? i know nothing of it hehe
ATVs will be procured ig they are actually waiting for an indegenious one rn a several Indian companies are working on ATVs I have posted that thread here beforeYep, that's precisely what my problem is with this jugaad. Now, if somehow they manage to make that thing go faster, then there's no problem.
2 questions what was role of russkies in this project ? What was the needed output kaveri was supposed to produce.. it produces 12mw, 15mw in international standards.. and it does sustain it max power rating for longer duration.. now hope they resolve this with newer materials and tech..Lastly peak power output was 12 MW.
Then project stopped and deemed as insufficient.
Thanks to mother Russia. Now we can fix the KMGT with the latest materials.
The regular ones can be used for towing artillery. But making it into a ATGM carrier is ridiculous. ATVs are far better as they are more nimble, smaller and maneuverable.But by defination all 3 are tractors too bu i guess we are discussing the smaller ones which are used plenty in india (3rd pic )

This won't be ever used in attack only in defence during war around wet marshy fields of North or during coin situations. You are hoping too much from tractor as war platform. It's a jugaad and only being employed in the situations where big vehicles fails. Height of tractor has its own advantages .. think about sarkanda grass and you will understand. Batteries could be swapped. And electric tractors are being built with this in mind. But yeah we are just eating too much pixels for a debate which will not yield any value.ok you need a tractor mounted with atgm right now but it would charge for 3-5 hrs more so you are without anything for 3-5hrs
a 75hp tractor (diesel) cost same as a 40hp (electric) tractor
plus there maybe a case where you dont have electricity (whole pak maybe )then you would be having problems too diesel is readily available though
the only thing electric tractors would get on the table is that its silent but if you are firing atgm silence may not be a big factor
plus a electric atv would be better than an electric tractor since we are talking bout makeshift vehicles which gets the job done

Army set to receive Igla-S air defence systems partly assembled in India
The Army is all set to begin receiving another set of Russian Igla-S very short range air defence systems (VSHORAD) by the end of May or early next month.www.thehindu.com
What's the difference between both ?Is it possible to use Swift as loyal wing man than developing cats warrior
Can't we change the Barrel from Rifled to say, 120 mm Smoothbore on Arjun's ?There is nothing Called Arjun's electrical and optics. The electrical and optics are different subsystems which can be installed in other tanks also. So, there is no point talking about electricals and subsystems of Arjun since the same can and has likely been fitted to T90s. There is no advantage to Arjun here.
Rifled guns can't fire a variety of ammos, especially ones with fins like APFSDS. That is why everyone is going for smoothbore.
This is not WW2 with tank vs tank battle. There are drones, planes, helicooters, ATGM, RPGs (recoilless rifles) etc. So, it is absurd to try to counter Abrams tank when such a fight is unlikely to happen.
Except for rifling, the electrical, controls of Arjun can be implemented in T90s. So, the accuracy issue can be resolve, if any.
APS is not really easy to implement on the ground. Tanks are meant to tank heavy fire. This means all the radar, guns etc for APS will be damaged quickly. They are just fancy overengineered things done by west. Not practical
In defences, Arjun has better armour but in offense, Arjun can't fire APFSDS. So you may be right that even in tank vs tank, Arjun may not be better
?Reason why I ask to not take this guy seriously.
It is 125mm smoothbore which is the norm. It will be problematic to have 120mm smoothbore as new ammunition will have to be developed. Not sure if gun can be changed from 120mm to 125mm without major design changes since the turret is an inherent part of the tankCan't we change the Barrel from Rifled to say, 120 mm Smoothbore on Arjun's ?
Forgot the most important part, the planes ! I sincerely think without an IAF order, the TEBDF would sink or will be delayed to such an extent that the existing gov will import more Rafale'sEven if it's 30 year old plan
It's not feasible
U need cbg for it
We need huge amount of destroyers frigates and especially submarines
Post that we can think about AC coz simultaneously will cost us a lot better focus of 3rd carrier which itself will take atleast 2 years for clearance and then focus on building subs and future destroyers
