I couldn't care less about which of them is superior, just pointed out why the Army says they can't use it as much as they planned and why they prefer the FMBT in larger numbers, rather than the Arjun MK2 and the overweight surely is one of the reasons.
You can't compare the whole tank and generalise it, the Israeli electro optics or APS belongs to the best in the world, but they are only part of the tank and doesn't make the performance of the whole tank right? And if you look at the Arjun MK2 turret and the latest Leopard 2 upgrades, you will see how far behind we are compared to Germany.
Possibly. But did the weight issue is so much a problem for logistic? How much time it took for ICF to manufacture new coaches that can handle Arjun. Even Indian Railway is of broad gauge, unlike many parts of world.
On other note, did you accept the capability of Arjun is far superior than T-90 in cold start? Because the current doctrine is to invade just 40-50 Km inside and hold that territory unlike Sunderji doctrine, where it was to reach Islamabad? So, urban warfare and Bridges is not that much problem.
