Do Kalyani holds 60% of IC on cost basis in Mbombe?

Haha no, SKD assembly for now; will be upgraded to CKD with a big order. Only in the case of a large global order will it be produced here from scratch.

Then read the terms again. It's under Buy(Indian) category.
Means the design should be yours with you holding 50% of IC on cost basis or it could be a foreign design with you holding 60% of IC on cost basis.

I don't see anything else in the STANAG II/III cat with 30hp/ton engine power.

AFAIK they have a lot more than that.... Will have to search for it, but as far as I know most of M4 is made here only.

I already posted Mahindra LSV.
With curb weight of 2.5 ton & 215 hp in STANAG II protection, it has enough possibility to be upgraded to STANAG III.

Even AL-31 is made in India. But raw material for that comes from Russia.

Just shows the level of our knowledge and RR on forum.

DSIL has manufactured prototypes of Light Bullet Proof Vehicle (ZEBU Carmel Lite and ZEBU Carmel) on the 2.2L Manual Transmission and 3.2L Automatic Transmission.

We want desi things, but the moment some prototype is seen in testing, our R@nd1 R0n@ starts at L1 and love for foreign equipments.

I have one doubt why are Indian Russian origin tanks have many spots with no armour plates

Those squares you see are not armour plates, they are older gen reactive armour... T72 was not designed with reactive armour, so it had to be later retrofitted with these. Worse coverage than integrated ERA, but still decent upgrade.

But latest t-72 Indian upgrade much looks like t-90
Even if u see the t-90 in our service any spots exist without ERA like not upgrade t-72
Last question when will our all t-72 be upgraded to what @Kunal Biswas posted
