This is the test case for you fanboys who know zilch about requirement process. It also shows how clueless you are on weapon induction process. You don't buy an "inferior" weapon system if your industry is producing a "superior" one unless the user likes to discourage the local industry for covert reasons.
There's nothing wrong with what I said.
The infrastructure and logistics in places was for 1000+ T72s, and by the time mark 1 was ready, there were 150-300 T90s with a license to produce 1500+ more. It doesnt make sense to produce a 60 ton, 120mm rifled tank that doesnt have similar commonality to the T series in huge numbers, when already billions were pushed out for the T90 procurement.
Now, the source that came out of it out preforming the T90 are inside sources from army brass that witnessed the trials.
And the source of the army deliberately handicapping the Arjun are also true.
None of these are DRDO "saving face". You didnt even read those sources when you read that.
