Future Ready Combat Vehicle tender

[Adioz]

What is the difference between FRCV and FICV? I thought they were the same. This is new information

FRCV is T-72 replacement program. FICV is BMP II replacement program. Read these:-
Future Ready Combat Vehicle tender
Future Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV)

So FiCV to use 30 mm auto cannon....copy of 2A42?

In Mk 2 with improved Kanchan armour and with add on NERA and ERA modules add another 250-300 mm (min.) to that value. The weight shot up to 67-68 tons for a valid reason. Don't forget in the 80-90s it was being built to take a point blank range hit from the Pakistani M1A2 abrams tank (which was speculated to be exported to them by USA). Also when the CVRDE says it is comparable to the best western tanks it is not a marketing gimmick but actual results of decades of trial by IA as well as audit by Israeli 3rd party tank experts.
Actually many of the specifications of FRCV tender is from values already acheived in MK 2 but army wants that in 50 ton tank. Unrealistic expectation to say the least.

I highly doubt that, in fact, I'm almost certain that it was mere gas talk by the CVRDE officials and shouldn't be taken on its face value!!

Fucking kill yourself.

Do you know what you are saying? Depleted Uranium can't be made into armour but only bullet or shells. It is heavy and incendiary but not explosive or tough.

Only a moron uses DU as armour. May be you want to kill yourself and hence want to use it when you are going to battelefield. But not everyone are like you

Just gonna leave this here:

The M1A1 is the same tank which chewed through the entire Republican Guard and its rather effective Anti Tank defensive deployment that they had. That deployment and those tactics would have put severe losses on any other tank but the Abrams. If you think the US Army and USMC are morons, then bro, salut!

You are wasting your time on our piece of work here. "DU is not hard enough so can't use it as armor material but it's perfect for building armor piercing munitions", really??!!I mean what the fuck kind of a brain dead nincompoop one has to be to even come up with such a line of thinking!!He's a complete basket case as it seems.

Lead is not hard but is still used for bullets. But, will you use lead for armour in bullet proof vests? Same way, DU is not hard enough for its weight. Please note this -WEIGHT. DU has high density and is harder than lead. DU is harder than normal steel and titanium. But, DU is too heavy. It is twice as dense as Lead. Steel alloys can be made which are much lighter and harder than Uranium.

The toughness per weight is very low as a result. It is not an ideal choice and decreases the maneuverability and operational ability of vehicles by increasing the weight to extreme extent.

Roughly, a 1.5 inch cube of Uranium will weigh 1kg.

(I am leaving cost part aside as Uranium costs $200 a kg and Titanium costs $6000 per kg while steel costs $1 per kg.)

Now that these are available, are T-72s are going to be upgraded to this standard or replaced by FRCV?
Any updates on their status?

Is NGMBT the FRCV & Arjun Mark 2 to be a bought until then?

I ask this because... there was a T-90MS order placed, right?
None of the "expected contenders" of FRCV (Oplot, Leclerc, K2) are particularly superior to Arjun Mark 2 or T-90MS, except Armata maybe.
This regime hopefully won't go for Armata to protect the NGMBT project? Then what's the use of it...?

Anybody has any info that'll decrease the confusion?

This could be the Candidate for the FRCV from L & T and DRDO's the Vajra's Tank's to replace the T 72's could weight same as t 72 with 42 tonnes and with a auto turret and auto loader similar to the T 14's and better speed endurance armour protection's and range than the T 72's with Probably DRDO's designed APS

 

[ARVION]

The frontal turret of the Vajra's tank will have a x shaped slopping and where the rest of the turret armour would be sloped similar to the howitzer with a reduced height's due to use of auto turret's and auto loader's with a new transmission and wheel pad and track designed for effective operating at both desert and mountainous terrains with a 1,200hp power pack's and the front hull will be raised upto a height's
