Arjun News & Discussions

So I guess this is the last stand of Arjun?

Maybe, maybe not. But even if it is the last stand of the Arjun, we still have this to look forward to -

India, Russia plan joint development of tank

 

[Honor]

If that's a good tank, Indian Army should buy more.

The no. of purchased by Indian Army tells her quality.

By that logic, the number of JF-17s purchased by PLAAF speaks volumes about the fighter jet's quality.

"Our aim is not to determine a winner in these trials, but to test the core strength of the tanks,"

Read the news again....please.

Pakistan plan to purchase a lot of this, isn't it?

One of the reason why IA downplays Arjun's performance is because DRDO does not give them cuts.
While someone who has used both in IA said Arjun is good tank. I read that in Arjun's thread here.

They have no other option left
its cost effective & optimum solution for them

they are buying this just to replace their aging fleet . Whether it upto the mark or not , it doesnt matters to them as long as they get a new machine .

You are right dude..That why DRDO openly challenged IA to have a comparitive field trial between T-90 and Arjun..DRDO is in full confidence that Arjun is better than T series..Lets hope its true..

Arjun is a 60 ton heavy, while the T-90 is a 40 something medium tank. This isn't exactly fair.

May be we can ask about an International standardization for weight to make all the Tank wars fair

 

[Insane]

Arjun has been known for having a number of problems in the past. Dont known to what extent these problems have been fixed by DRDO???
Also dont know about its performance in the deserts, and that may be one of the main reasons IA has been reluctant to induct arjun.

But one thing i am sure of is, this beast has got one hell of an armour protection. and secondly it has leatheal fire power, but there has been some problems with its accuracy in the past. If that has been rectified, I think Arjun has a fair chance of finding its place in IA, no metter they like it or not, it will be very hard for them to find grounds for its rejection.



adios

More then Arjun, I am highly getting worried about T-90 in this latest test that is soon going to be conducted. Even if, Arjun failed this test then only it won't raise any eyebrows but what if T-90 failed this test, because T-90 form the core of IA's armoured regiments and it will be a big blow as they don't have any option of rejected hundreds of such tank already thriving in their inventories.
