I hope their should be some scope left to upgrade this next batch of 124 Arjun (mkII) so that we could add missile system afterwards.Though the missile system had been tested on the MkI version of the tank about five years ago, it did not form part of the final design of the initial 124 delivered to the army, and nor will it be mounted on the second lot of 124, ministry officials said.
Apart from this if DRDO is able to provide whatever it claims to be in mkII - missile system, then also it would be a great MBT.
I wished DRDO should have used T90 design for Arjun mkII with little modification (if it was possible). The original design of arjun itself is not that appealing.
Although its good we developed arjun mkII so quickly as we could then move forward to FMBT for 2020.
