Arjun News & Discussions

. . . .
Anyways I think we need to wait till the official confirmation of the news
 
.
Best part to me is that ARJUN can fire Lahat ATGMs very effective


Lahat ATGMs

While the AL-kalid uses 9M119 Svir which is outdated soviet atgm which has a range of 6000m max but Lahat has a range of 8000m max so the arjun can be out of its sight and fire from around 2kms safe haven


9M119 Svir

The info I have suggest they will have to buy more, it will be few hundreds not thousands and 175 seems good.

Dont warry guys, Arjun is a very good tank only proble is its weight.

in the most pasimistic senario IA will induct 250 more Arjun tank which will take another 5 to 7 years for induction & by then either Mark 2 or FMBT will be ordered.

yes thats correct around 250 mk1 version will be inducted followed by mk2 in coming years,if unknown sources are to be believed mk2 has isreali collaboration in it and the work has been going on for quite sometime now,but i will still wait fr the official news to come,pretty strange isnt it before putin was to arrive in delhi the same shiv aroor's blog said Arjun;s dead but now cz he has left we have the army saying AAL IZZ WELL :)

...now im very confused!!

I will help...the Arjun even after meeting all the laid objectives...isn't going to be inducted as it would only be another parallel tank to the T-90S in the IA...which already has been inducted in large numbers...
The Arjun is a very good tank but it's shelf-life has been hampered by the delay...had it been inducted in 2000...we'd have bought 600-700 of them...but it'd be retired around 2020-2025..so instead the better thing is to develop a more futuristic tank that can be delivered by 2020 and serve till 2050...
the future is the only thing going against the Arjun...
it's a good thing that they have perfected the tank..now it's be easier to prepare for the markII...which has all the chances of being inducted...
