You don't need to show your 'worry' too much,Arjun can take care of itself.

This picture is proof enough that the current Arjun can very well withstand the ill effects of ammunition cook-off.You better worry about your AKs.If its ammunition compartment takes a hit somehow,it will turn into from this:

So better save your thoughts for your tanks and crews.

What are that things looking like dial?

Seals/armored lids of the ammunition chambers,so that if the ammo compartment takes a hit and the ammo start to deflagerate,the burning propellant doesn't move inside the crew compartment and fry the crew to death along with the tank.

Don't worry they are coming up with something to armour cover for optics or radar,its still in testing phase till then enjoy a "transparent" trial.

you are proving to be more idiot than i thought, most modern mbts can survive ammo cook off, the problem was closely seen first in t-64s with 6ets and t-72s with AZ autoloaders, where ammo blew off while taking the turret with it. Even old T-55s didnt have the turret blown issue as there was no carousel based ammo storage.

The point being, in case of ammo cook off, the tank may sruvive, but the crew does not.

Lastly, if you brought alkhalid in this discussion once more, i will let you have it.

@Oscar @Manticore dont blame me ok :D

on the contrary, ARJUN's weaknesses are worrying sign for the user, pleasure for the enemy.

The "weaknesses" are so minor, overall the Arjun Mk.2 is some one hell of a MBT I don't see how any adversary could possibly take pleasure in seeing it is coming along...

read my previous posts in this thread to discover how minor weaknesses end up being major in the battlefield. If Arjun was so desirable, IA would have straight away placed an adequate order, not a "trial" one. IA is still reluctant to induct it in numbers, the recent figure of Mk-2 order is a clear example of lack of confidence in an overly hyped yet under performing mbt.
