the main problem posed by arjun is of logistics. The 60+ ton weight of arjun has entered a new dimension. Most of the IA logistical solutions dont support such A heavy tank. IA is slowly and Steadily introducing improved logistical solution to help the Transport of heavier tanks. This...

i haven't send any private invitation to any one. Be here if you like or leave. Your choice.

arjun: its one of the best tanks in terms of crew comfort. The nitrogen aided pneumatic suspension tried in arjun enhances crew comfort,fire control and mobility. Also the choice to experiment a different type of Gun-the rifled gun-also paid well. Rifled gun also allows Arjun to fire HESH...

The infos i gave isn't any Classified information. If you Are reffering to the t-72 problem,its a common problem with many t-72 users.

DRDO light tank: It is a shelved project. Drdo has made this tank based on sarath chasis incorporating a 105 mm gun. The tank had succesfully passed all user trials but the tank wasn't inducted as IA decided that there wasn't any need for a Light tank.

I wasn't independently hired by the IA.I haven't told anyone So.

t-90 is altogether a good tank for india. The upgraded versions are good as gold. The experience with t-72 helps in case of t-90 too.

t-90 tanks were a wise decision in the sense that it allowed 'operational continuity' ie,operational crew and maintenance crew of the t-72 could be shifted to that of t-90s easily. In case of a war,it could be heavily useful. T-90 is a tank with superb submersible qualities. The crew...

t-90: T-90 purchase was a good decision,but it has affected the arjun adversely. A lot of pockets have been filled through this purchases.

the t-72 also offers less crew comfort,but it is better than t-55. T-72 is logistic and maintenance friendly too.

the problems with the t-72 can be easily solved when it comes to an experienced tank crew. But in severe war scenarios it can be costly ie If an existing crew is perished,then the replacement Crew may face difficulty.

i was coming to it.

another problem of the t-72 is the uncommonality. Different pieces has different problems and behaviours. This is a reason for which the upgrades are lagging.

T-72: the current work horse of the IA. Several problems are associated with it. The main being the glitch in gear box. In some pieces, the gear gets blocked when shots are fired. Therefore in most cases the commander shouts 'fire' twice -one for the driver to apply clutch and other for the...

T-55: its a beginner's nightmare. The crew comfort offered is minimum. The interior is so cramped that you can't even move your hand freely. But with an experienced crew,she is great. She is highly responsive to the driver. Logistics isn't a problem regarding her. But her submersive capability...

I've got the chance to work closely with IA and other related establishments. So i thought of sharing some of my views and experiences.

its a costly mistake! We are not talking about a cessna aircraft,but war planes! The maintenance,storage etc will cost a lot!

Surya is in primitive state only. But Some of my sources say that the isro is giving some help regarding the propulsion and the unofficial designing is speeding up! If kalam sir was there,things would have been more better.

Actually, I believe that airforces should maintain atleast a few squadrons of mechanical aeroplanes like the mig-19s.
