Is the objective for the tank to stay in one piece for more than 5 mins?

NO ITS TO ENSURE THAT DISGUISED FRIENDS/ENEMIES TANK DOES NOT SURVIVE MORE THEN 5 MINUTES IN THE BATTLE FIELD

i still dont understand why mods allow this guy to troll around in disguise to kill the spirit of this forums..

Being even an Indian i find this place very informative and creative. but ppl like these come andjust destroy the forums with utter nonsense and mods are not even taking care of them..

If he was a true indian he would have banned long time back....

Let's see if I can add some more value to the knowledge already going around.

1. Arjun is having Kanchan armour which is out of composites and honeycomb structure. It is rated as one of the best in the world. It has been tested by point blank firing from T-70 without much damage to main structure.

2. It is being built with group seek and kill capability. That is whole of the tank regiment is networked and connected to a master centre. The whole battlefield scenario is simulated and accordingly the tanks movments are planned to prioritise actions. It is similar to AWACS for air force. This feature is possibly there with advanced countries only.

The problem is the cost or? As far as I read it in the several Arjun threads here, the T90 are clearly cheaper, so even if the Arjun turret would be a good upgrade for old T72s, the question is how costly would this be and what are the alternatives?
Raythion wants to offer IA a possible upgrade and no doubt that the Israelis will offer similar too, will be interesting to see if IA is ready to spend possibly more for indigenous parts.

sancho ji indigenous euipment increases as a tank is evolved around the year,arjun in its current avatar employs the finest videshi maal on it,iam talking about the best isreali elecronic equipment,When Arjun mk2 enter the arena it will have more indian euipment on it beacuse of the learning experience with the imported gadgets,the world knows how closely indian and isrealis are working together.... take for example the development of LCA "TEJAS & JF-17 "THUNDER"...PAF is talking about JF-17 with french avionics why??? beacuse they know that the chinese tech is deficient comapred to the worlds best tech coming from the europe,they want the THUNDER as thier backbone and they also know that in near future JF-17 WILL be facing the sukhoi's mirages and migs all in thier upgraded versions,so if they are to give us a hard fight they would want to do wht we did to our SUKHOI 30MKI ie CUSTIMISE IT AND TAILROURED it TO MEET OUR REQUIREMENT....NOW SEE WHAT IS GOING WITH TEJAS,IF WE WERE TO ROLL OUT THIS MACHINE WITH "0" FOREIGN ASSISTANCE,THE PRODUCT WHICH WE WOULD HAVE IN OUR HAND WOULD HAVE BEEN A JET EQUAL OF INFERIOR TO THE CHINESE MADE JF-17...WHY INFERIOR BECAUSE CHINESE AVIATION INDUSTRY IS MORE MATURE THEN OURS...OUR PLANNER'S WERE SMART ENOUGH AND THE BEST WAY BRIDGE THE GAP
IS BY GOING ON JOINT VENTURES AND THE BEST OF ANYTHING AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET,WHENEVER MCA WILL COME IT WILL HAVE MORE INDIGENOUS COMPONENTS IN TERMS OF AVIONICS,RADAR AND MUCH MORE COMPARED TO TEJAS.........Now back to topic that is Arjun...Arjun mk2 in similar fashion will be adavanced and i guess cheaper beacuse of the homegrown products going on it,money is not a problem if we can out money inseriously overhauling old tanks like T-72 arjun will not/and should not be much of a problem.
i went through the old Arjun threads once again to find out what apprehentions our friends were having and i found the following;
1. Arjun is big and thus an easy target
ans.. Arjun silhouette is (2.32m) compared to T-90'S 2.22m,ABHRAMS (2.44m).JUST 10CM DIFFERENCE IN AN OPEN FIELD,NOW JUST COMPARE THE ARMOUR WHICH IS ON ARJUN AND T-90

2.THE COST OF ARJUN IS MORE THEN T-90
Arjun is Rs. 16.8 Crore and will godown with scale.

T-90 is currently at Rs. 17.5 Crore

India to develop a futuristic tank based on Arjun


India is set to develop a futuristic battle tank that will be hardly able to detect by enemy radar and Indian developers are believed to have come up with a revolutionary 'honey comb' design for the NERA (Non-explosive and non-Energetic Reactive Armour) Armour and, according to sources, it is said to be performing 'perfectly'.

NERA is a reactive armour which works like any explosive reactive armour but with the crucial difference being the using of energy in form of a charge instead of explosives. and the report for the futuristic tank is as follows from "thaindian.com"


"The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) will be developing around 12 futuristic systems in five years for incorporation into India’s first indigenously built Arjun main battle tank (MBT), an official said here Wednesday.”The futuristic technology systems include automatic target tracking, defensive aids, laser warning, tank simulator systems. We are looking at developing robotic vehicles that would work on tele-link,” R. Jayakumar, associate director of the DRDO’s Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE), told reporters.
The organisation also plans to automate the tracking of targets.

“With the firing and mobility powers of the tank being satisfactory, the focus is now on making the vehicle invisible to the enemy through development of detection avoidance and laser warning systems,” said Jayakumar.

One of the labs under the DRDO, CVRDE is also in the process of developing tank simulators similar to flight simulators.

“After undergoing simulator training, a soldier can comfortably operate the vehicle,” said Jayakumar.

When asked about the status of the Indian Army’s order for 124 Arjun tanks, CVRDE director S. Sundaresh said: “The order will be completed this year. We are confident of getting more orders, which would enable us to have more local component content in the battle machine.”

Presently, the local content is around 50 percent. The engine and power train has been imported from Germany.

“We plan to source engines from Cummins India for future orders. If more orders come by, we can reduce the imported content to 25 percent,” Sundaresh added.

The research organisation has transferred the technology to the Heavy Vehicles Factory in Avadi town.

“More than 10,000 drawings running into around 2,000 pages have been passed on to the vehicle manufacturer,” Sundaresh said.

Asked about the delays in developing the tank, officials said the army froze its specifications only in November 1985.

“The tank was unveiled in 1995. It takes at least 10 years for any country to develop a battle tank from the scratch. The army put the pre-production tanks (15 units) to rigorous tests totalling more than 70,000 km and fired over 7,000 rounds. No other tank would have undergone such tests,” said Jayakumar.

Meanwhile to commemorate the DRDO’s golden jubilee, five of its labs - CVRDE, Vehicles Research and Development Establishment, Ahmednagar; Research and Development Establishment (Engineers), Dighi; Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment, Manali; and Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Bangalore - will hold a two day exhibition here starting Feb 28."

As you have already passed your verdict you should be little concerned if its gonna ever move a inch ahead...

What's locked around here, I don't get you? Also, find a post where I mentioned toilets.

yes this peace of Junk has started moving. Moving really well indeed, hope u dont have any problem with that, have u?? but if you call a tank comparable to T-90, I wonder what do u call a tank which is not even comparable to T-72, Yes Al-khalid Indeed. A moving $hit?

 

[flaming arrow]

yes this peace of Junk has started moving. Moving really well indeed, hope u dont have any problem with that, have u??

Yaar why will he have any problems??? He can take out ARJUN with just a bicycle mounted klashnikov

Yaar why will he have any problems??? He can take out ARJUN with just a bicycle mounted klashnikov

Oh I see.. Debatable indeed..lol

 

[yuvabharat]

DRDO is doing good but still arjun is average tank we should modify like tiger tanks lol
