Indian Army T- 90 (Bhishma) and T- 72 (M-1) Tanks

[Bleh]

Wont this be a waste of money if we want to replace T-72s with FRCV?

Even if FRCV is available by 2025, the last T-72 will not be restored till 2040.

Make that 2035 at the very least.

True but would it kill these morons (armored corps generals and the so called hotshot IITians at the fucking DRDO—both these groups) to reconfigure the ERA scheme?? Yaar, kam se kam dekh kar nakal toh kar hi sakte hay ye log ya fir sab ke sab Angel Priya ke pi6e pare huye hay??!!

Just take a look at this work of art (M-84AS2 from Serbia) -

And then compare this to our T-72/90s.

Also a bustle autoloader would allow for longer penetrators and address the firepower concern. VRDE is already developing it for the FMBT, why not adopt it for the T90 fleet.

Ummmm.. pretty sure this is technically theft... unless this is our underhanded way to send them aid because I hadn't heard of any word of protest from GOI. I just found out about this.
Makes it even more important to gain access to captured Euro tanks!

Russia has lot of rupee in Indian banks. So wouldn't be suprised if Russia has asked for a buy back from India. Its unlikely that Russia would do something without informing us first. I wouldn't be suprised if we covertly sent back soviet russian made stuff and replace them with home grown replacements, as long as we are getting paid.

REPOST:

This was our initial prototype of Arjun...

Now try to find weak spots in the turret

Original post that gave me the idea to use the non-shitty Arjun turret for "Tank Ex Mark 2", let's say.

So I found a suitably angled Rajpath T-90 pic (lighting didn't match unfortunately)... This however is a 3-man turret that sports a bustle-mounted autoloader & 125mm gun, as that's what FMBT is going with.

T-90/90S first appeared in 1993. It was not however a good time for Russian tanks. Iraqi T-72s badly underperformed in the Desert Storm, and even modern M-84 suffered badly in the Yugoslav wars. T-80BV was also blasted for its performance in Chechenya. Because of this, large export orders for modernized T-72 and T-80U MBTs failed to materialize.

T-90 tank itself is a further development of the T-72B Main Battle Tank. It was developed at the Kartsev/Venediktov Bureau, “Vagonka” at Nizhnyi Tagil. Tank was officially adopted by the Russian Government in 1992 and the initial production began in the same year. In 1993 tank was adopted by the Russian MoD, and low-rate series production began in 1994.

Tank was shown outside Russia for the first time in March 1997, when it was demonstrated at Abu Dhabi. By September 1997, some 107 T-90 tanks had been produced, located in the Siberian Military District. By mid-1996 some 107 T-90s had gone into service in the Far Eastern Military District. In 2007, there were about 334 T-90 tanks serving in the Russian Ground Forces’ 5th Guards Tank Division, stationed in the Siberian Military District, and seven T-90 tanks in the Navy.

The tank is the last mass-produced Russian MBT, and was considered to be among the ten best tanks in the world. T-90 is the most successful export tank on the market, being operated by Algeria (572), Azerbaijan (200 delivered, some were lost), Iraq (75), Syria (40), Turkmenistan (40), Uganda (44), and Venezuela (50~100). India is the largest export operator, having ordered 1 657 T-90S tanks. Indian order included 248 tanks delivered from Russia, 409 tanks assembled locally from knock-down kits and another 1 000 tanks license-produced in India. Some T-90s have been lost in Ukraine, with a number captured and pressed into service against their former owners.

Fun fact. Putin begged Vajpayee to save the Russian tank industry from bankruptcy. We ordered those T90s to help an old friend out, and those fuckers didnt even give us proper documentation and ToT to maintain the fleet here.

Wrong.
Pakistan acquired T80UD from Ukraine and was gaining an upper edge in its armoured formations.
Bulk of Indian formations had old T-55 with T-72m1 reaching some critical mass. Thus, building on the T-72 experience, in 2001 it was decided to go with T-90.
Now, an ok T-90 is better than an imaginary perfect tank.
