Indian Army Armored Vehicles

This may not be space Armour, Its a composite Armour made of plates with ceramic and other in between..

At glacis ..

At turret ..

The way the rest of the penetrator moves after being broken up probably isn't accurate..

Then HVF officials discovered that Russia had withheld key T-90S technologies without valid reason. This included technology for crucial components like the tank’s main gun and a key section of the turret armour. To this day, Russia has not transferred full technology for building the T-90S in India.

General Manager of HVF Avadi, how the T-90S was being built without these technologies, he confirmed: “We developed the tank gun indigenously in Central Ordnance Depot, Kanpur, and the turret armour component in CVRDE (Combat Vehicles R&D Establishment), Avadi. This is still a sticking point between India and Russia.”

There were problems along the way. “We had some problems with the turret – the 130-mm armour plate,” said Mr. Chandrasekar.Chairman, OFB, Saroj Vinayek, spoke about the “challenge to manufacturers.”

The Russians declined to part with the technology for the turret and the gun, claiming it was not part of the original agreement. This led to protracted, but barely fruitful negotiations, and delay in the indigenisation schedule. OFB officials said they fabricated the turret under extremely difficult circumstances as technological inputs from Russia were not forthcoming.

====================

Their is another official source of mentioning Kanchan armour module being used on T-90 bhisma, I am not able to find it at the moment ..

Indian T-90 bhishma are heavier compare to Russian T-90, Due to mainly Kanchan Armour instead of Russian. This show via difference in ground pressure of both variants ..

Any info or source about kanchan Armor being used in T 90 ?

This is a pic of a T-72B with broken idler, showing simple spaced plates.

What if the penetrator comes at 90 degree angle?

So this shows that Russians are not trustworthy..they always try to milk as much as money.
They never want us to go indigenous on arms,because they will loose the market.
Pathetic.

@Kunal Biswas I want to ask you a question.
Which is the most vulnerable part of the tank turret or body?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Sides and rear as always, lower glacis ..

Sides of the body or turret which is vulnerable?
Sides of the body can be protected by side panels right?

The top is also very vulnerable.
@Kunal Biswas Sir can correct me on this.

Don't Push Your Luck

Shoddy maintenance of T-90s are exposed Today in 3rd race

Both tanks are Out Of race against china due to engine Failures

Chinese Had over 25 Minutes lead over Us by that time

We are out of the race And Tank biathlon Tournament In Such embarrassing way

 

[hit&run]

.....................................................

They are doing better than India in current Tank competition in Russia.

 

[TheHurtLocker]

Shoddy maintenance of T-90s are exposed Today in 3rd race

That is utter nonsense.
Mechanical failure is a fact of life for all these beasts.
Even with careful preventive maintenance, these can and will happen.

All these are Facts hiding incompetence of babus Won't help

How come Chinese Don't have single Engine failure

Look at other teams like belarus and kazakistan ,Iran etc

They operate Imported Russian ones still manage to maintain it better That 2nd Major Manufacturers of Russian tanks(India)

We Laughed at Chinese when there wheel was broken thought they complete first in the race Now We are facing Even worse fate

 

[WARREN SS]

I am SAD for the IA Tank crews They have immense talents and are world class But Due to DSPU's shoddy corrupt system We have to face such Failure

 

[Akshay Fenix]

We should have sent the Arjun Tanks.

Arjuns are much better than these crap T90s from Russia.
