Arjun-II MBT development l Updates & discussion.

[graphican]

Arjun stands out as the obvious target.

Yea Arjun is a big guy standing at 68 Tons! VT4 is 52. Every additional tone went in Arjun speaks how incompetently engineered it is.

By your logic even Challenger 2 and Abrams are incompetently engineered...

Both these 2 tanks were designed to fight either in Europe where the infrastructure can support up to 70tones tanks, or the desert of North Africa and Middle East.

On the other hand, the infrastructure of India and Pakistan can hardly support 60 tones tank. So, developing a 68 tones tank is a perfect example of incompetent designer who doesn't give shit about the actual battle environment.

The 75th.

It can fire APFSDS.....It uses DRDO developed APFSDS which has a sabot that rotates independently without rotating the warhead.

I think this tank will be a interesting chalange for the Pakistan Army.
