my dear friend,the accuracy of arjun is better then t-90 at any given day this was well placed the parliamentary table report..
I never said anything about the Arjun not being accurate infact i think it's a very good tank, also has the Indian army released anything official regarding the performance of both tanks or is all of this news from Shakala? Arjun has nothing to do with my argument, the T-90 is the center of my argument.
There is alot of distorted and out right incorrect information regarding the T-90 and its accuracy so i took the liberty to inform the masses, there is alot of distortion saying that the T-90 could hardly hit targets from 1600km with the main gun and that the ATGMs could not hit targets a 5000km, well that's fairy tails, read this:
T-90 - a knol by Anonymous
During one of the displays, T-90 struck 7 targets in 54 seconds. All were at the distance between 1500-2500m and the tank was on the move at 25km/h. While returning to position, the layer gave the control to the commander who used the gunner mode to fire to the rear of the vehicle and hit 4 more targets.
As far as i'm aware that's an un-offical record, as you can see the T-90 hit 11 out of 11 on the move and in a short span, more imortant because of the quick rate of fire the barrel was hot; consiquently, the accuracy did not suffer, so the excuse of the T-90s barrel performing poorly and te T-90 not being able to accurately hit shots with a hot barrel is busted.
This should quiet people that are hell bent on claiming the T-90 isn't capable of hitting targets from 5000km:

Regarding ATGMs:
during the official trials of T-90, all of the ammunitions were fired by young conscripts who just finished training. All of the rounds – 24 of them, hit targets at a distance of 4-5km.
The T-90 can hit targets in hot temperatures and it can do it at night and it can do it at long ranges (in the hands of Indian crews):
T-90 - a knol by Anonymous
Indian crews quickly mastered the T-90S, they also did not have problems with the fire control and thermo-vision systems. Just after several training sessions Lt. Kapur of the Indian army acted as layer who accurately fired on to the targets at 2500-3000m. Officers from one of the panzer corps needed 20 minutes to familiarize with T-90S and successfully complete the task of destroying 4 targets at night from a distance of 3100m at an ambient temperature of 47°C.
Arjun Vs T-90
Time of the Day: MBT (No.of Targets Assigned) No.of Successful Hits
Before Noon T-90 (11) 9
Noon T-90 (11) 4
Night time T-90 (15) 7
Before Noon Arjun (11) 11
Noon Arjun (11) 10
Night time Arjun (15) 15
If this has any truth to it than the ammuniton, maintanance, and crew have to be taken into account because the fact is i have proven the T-90 can hit targets very very very accurately and at very long distances; moreover, it can do this while on the move, the T-90 has proven time and time again in various trials around the world that it can hit targets accurately...if the T-90 was not able to pass trials not the Russians, nor the Indians would field them plain and simple . If all of the factors i have listed can be ruled out than something isn't right...
Here is the relevant part of his reply to this qs. unashamedly plagiarized from
Broadsword: India, Russia close to agreement on next generation fighter
There are no AUTHENTIC figures that I have come across for the RCS of the Rafale and the Eurofighter, only unattributed speculation. But I hear, from people who ought to know, that their RCS is not below 0.5.
This talk about metal golf balls and metal marbles does not impress me (
Warplanes: F-22 Stealth Ability Revealed by USAF ). It could be disinformation, sales talk, vendor propaganda, or a mixture of all of them.
A platform's real RCS is seldom revealed.
The figure that I have is from an MoD source, who has, in turn, heard it from a Sukhoi designer at KnAAPO. I would not bet my life that the figure is entirely accurate.

"you need to check your figures on RCS of PAKFA
u are quoting 100 times more. double check. again"
The figure of 0.5 is certainly not that far off the mark.
deep.blue: I agree with you. This bird has a great deal of design change ahead of it and the RCS will almost certainly get a lot better in the future.
You just gave me a link to two bloggs and then you quoted someones post, when did quoting people's replies count as a credible source? Like i stated earlier the very unstealthy SU-47 with conventional nose, vertical stabs, FSW, conards, and convetinal intakes achieved a rcs of 0.3, so the butt-heads that keep saying the pak-fa only has a rcs of 0.5 are a laughing stock, esspecially when you consider all of the 'stealthy' features the pak-fa has and the fact that Russia has been able to reduce the rcs of aircraft from 10-20 times just with RAM.
Buddy , you must be having access to Paralay and other russain forums.
Whats their take on RCS of FGFA/Pak-FA
I just scan through the forum for pictues and i havn't visited in a while, if you us google tanslator you can read trough the whole forum.
Bcoz whatever Literature i read on stealth by Russian scientist's esp ITAE research paper , they focused more on using 3 layered robotic RAM coatings and Ionized selective frequency gas filter for reducing RCS.
I mean shaping and IR- reduction of plume of gases had less attention.
What's you personal opinion on angles and corners of this machine (shaping),
i mean the way people have bashed this machine on this forum that it has huge RCS and even worse than F15SE .( expected bcoz most of them are anti-Russian)
I want Russian point of view on this
Well not much can be determined about the pak-fa's rcs just by looking at the aircraft; however, it does seem to have all of the features of a stealth aircraft, the one part of the pak-fa that people seem credical of is the underbelly and this is because it's not flat or in other words it has two 'humps' but if you study aircraft such as the Y-23, B-2, and the F-35 they too have these 'humps' the only difference is the 'humps' are on top of the fusalage. With Russia's progress in ram i would not be too woried. Moreover, Sukhoi prototypes are always far cries from the final production-look at the original SU-27.
