India to replace bursting T-72 tank barrels under Rs 1,500 cr deal with Russia - The Economic Times

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

looks the ofb product has the best blast protection and tata's have best looks.

 

[bengalraider]

okie guys have a look at what may be our BMP replacement soon, yes it's a Khanate product being pitched extensively behind the scenes to our boys. the marines won't buy many new vehicles with the setbacks in funding by the US congress ad the Mil-In comples will be mighty pleased if we get a few hundred of these to keep production going.
Expect this baby to make an entrance in DEFEXPO 2014.

The TATA MPV is a homegrown design while the leyland MPV has inputs from paramount of SA and the Mahindra is basically a BAe product packaged for us.

keeping this in mind i'd go for the Mahindra, it's bigger(more troops) and i expect it to have real world inputs from Bae products tested in all the conflicts from 2000 onwards.

 

[jmj_overlord]

[arnabmit]

Is that why FICV went to the dogs?

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Mark II

As FM Sam Manekshaw said, It is not the machine which matters, it is the man behind the machine which matters....

That's true,only to a certain extent;after that the 'Man behind the machine' dies and becomes useless.So the machine does indeed matters and matters a lot!!

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Mark II

Even if Pak comes out with Al Khalid III, they still wouldn't be able to defeat our skiiled, trained and abled crew......

And how are you so sure about that??Have you any personal info about the training of PA Tank crews??Underestimating your opponent is the last thing anyone would want to do.By the way,if you have any info then please share and if not then stop making these wishfull thinking bs Mr Oggy.

Yes I do agree that machine matters... But remember in 1965 war pak had pattons whereas we had centurion tanks..... What was the result??? Battle of Assal Uttar..!! I hope you can now understand what I meant!!!!

I need not see their training...... I know their op preparedness coz I have seen in it every war ... Pak doesn't even has 3 days of fuel if it goes on an all out war with any country.... You talked about machine.... If their machine is soooooo goooood then why has the PLA not inducted it into it's Tank fleet???? It was a joint project of PA and PLA. Just like JF 17...........!!!
Pointless to talk about it..... You said what you wanted to, I waid what I wanted to..... Now let's cut the Crap outta here.....
Cheers
