does Arjun have sloped Armour???
paritosh sir i agree with you till a certain extent,actually infrastructure is not that big a issue as it has been made to look,rail carriages have been developed which can carry arjun somebody had posted a link to that on this forum if iam not mistaking,actually army just cannot induct the Arjun in big number's reason being Indian armies doctrinal revolves around t-90 or it old brother t-72,Arjun is from a different class its a heavy mbt,havent we all been noticing the changes that has been ging on in the statement,intially the trial was t-90 vs Arjun then it became trial where only arjun will be evaluated(t-90 skipped) from that we have today trials conducted so that we can devise the role in which Arjun will best fit,arjun outshines t-90 anyday if we go by the specs..army is accepting it today beacuse it knows that it is a good tank,its is our deso maal,and if we want somethimng homegrown this is correct time to give the impetus,jingoism removed i wud never want my men going in the field with a desi inferior maal against my enemies tank,i will say a russi tank with all isreali and european maal in it should so that we come out victors..take for example PA'S al-khalid 1, i will say its a dangerous machine now!!why beacause now PAKISTANI ARMY is stuffing european equipment onboard it,will they be rolling out al khalid 2...yes they will.structural shortcoming armour composition,fire control system,electronics everything etc etc will come n the new packge depeding upon thier budget...similarly arjun mk2 is there in the form of tank ex,havent we seen it drdo was smart on this they are working along with isreali's on it adding what best cann be given to it the Rafael Trophy Active Protection System has already been tested on it if u believe me and much more.
flaming arrow...though I am no authority deciphering the Tank needs of the IA...
the way I see this....all the world armies are focusing on smaller...lighter tanks..made of special sturdy plastics...
the Americans seem to be working on this...though I don't know about any of their projects other than the M1Ax-abrams...
The army has got it's dedicated MBT....in the T-90S...which is better than the standard T-90M of the russkie army...the Army has worked on the T-90S and it's advancements...and has paid a lot to see it function along with another parallel platform and get the logistics divided...
the Army can add inputs to most foreign buys...like in the MKI...the MMRCA....the T-90...but the only thing it can literally dictate in is our own home-grown projects....like the Arjun...
so most probably..the army wants the arjun mark 2 to be based to the tune of future warfare....
