Arjun Tank to Target Russian T55 Today

[DESERT FIGHTER]

It does not mater how much you try to upgrade a T55, its still not even going to resist a 105mm tank round, (and DRDO wants to test it against a120mm HESH, or APFSD?)

Even their T-72 fleet is yet to be upgraded..

And he's talking about upgraded t-55s with no upgrade to its armour or aby other thing for that matter.

Really not much logic testing against 60s vintage tanks. If arjun does come up against anything its going to be Chinese T99A2s, T96g or what ever latest China has under dev etc.

Its like the USA, testing their latest M1A2s against T55s/T72s and saying well that means it can take on the latest russian T14 or Chinese tanks.

Well, Dont Try too hard. Try these :

- Vintage F16s ( Not F22s / F35s ) are converted/used as Ariel Target Drones in US.
- The News is NOT about old vs new , but to Test a weapon in "real world" scenario.

Regarding Real Capability of Arjun :

In a "real world" scenario the Arjun is not going to face a T55 either on its northern border or on its western border.

Comprehension Issues ?
"real world" here means tanks operating running and having a battle like scenario.

Just like SAMs are tested using Drones ( NOT the Real Missiles and Fighter jets they would ACTUALLY face ) which mimic "real world" threats.
Just Like, Short Range Missiles are used to test and mimic "real world" long range irbm/icbms for BMDs

Still Confused ?

What makes this test different is that this time the target is gonna be fitted with a variety of measuring devices to monitor various parameters,so we can better judge Arjun

Arjun is counted as one of the best tank that even the Chinese military experts praises it.

You are being too logical with a guy,who opined that if AA missile was used to down a Chinese Toy Drone on LOC.

On Top - All these T 55 are being decommissioned,some given to friendly countries like Myanmar.


Apart from that we have Chinese T 59 (T 55 copy) tank as well,captured from 1971 War,fit for testing lAHAT ATGM.

An homemade laser warning system for armored vehicle is developed. Currently, Arjun Mark 2 uses an Israel LWS.

LASTEC has designed and developed a laser warning and countermeasure system for Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFVs). A LWS is capable of handling multiple type of laser threats and has an operational range of more than 6 km for laser designator type of laser threat. After detecting the laser threat along with its direction, it also has the capability to generate trigger signal to activate the grenade launcher for firing of smoke grenade in the direction of laser threat to obscure the platform under threat. Technology of the LWS has been transferred to BEL, Pune.

The laser warning sensors detects the laser radiation processes, determine the PRF and edge matching signals. It comprises of opto-electronic front end, signal processing and conditioning, embedded module for PRF decoding, and edge matching signal.

The master controller receive inputs from multiple laser warning sensors, processes the information and feeds the desired commands to the decoy laser. The master controller comprises of hardware and software module to interface with the laser sensor units and the decoy laser.

Decoy laser is a high energy laser source that takes command from laser warning system and generate a pulsed laser radiation synchronised with the PRF generated by the laser warning system. It is used to illuminate a dummy target to misguide the laser guided bomb on to the dummy target.

@DESERT FIGHTER
1. India has a total of 2011 T90s on order.
( 310 T90S in 2001 + 330 T90 M in 2006 + 347 T90 M in 2007 + 1000 more tanks to be produced till 2020 ( Production rights acquired )) + 354 tanks more will be procured for India Tibet border.

So 2011+ 354 = 2,365 T90 tanks .
Out of these 1,300 Have already been inducted.

2. T72s
968 T72 tanks have been upgraded till now and a new tender to upgrade further 1000 has been issued. Around 300 more T72s (older ones ) will not be upgraded and will be either scrapped or concerted into various Engineering support vehicles. 2,418 Thanks were procured in total.


Arjun MBT program
1. 124 Arjun Mk1 produced + 118 Mk2 ( 40 already produced ) .A good show guarantees 2 More Arjun regiments to be ordered, meaning around 110 More.

Whom u are trying to educate?Pakistani members in pdf....

First educate your self, you are just a newbee here and judging us. This forum is for mature minds not like you and if you don't like PDF and better leave now

 

[Mrc]

what a far more interesting test would have been was to use T 59 to fire at Arjun and broadcast it live for national and international audience......

 

[Signalian]

India should have acquired a T80 from Russia and tested Arjun against it.

On a lighter note, if T55 survives the first hit, will it fire back at Arjun ?

DRDO is a world class military equipment producer and now Indian Government is working more on indigenous equipment.

Israel itself have acquired technology from United States and France etc.

You should stop giving Israel so much platform everywhere.

Israel cant even make submarine or fighter plane where as India produce everything indigenous.

T55 in this case is just crap metal. The word "T55" serves nothing but some stirring up some sensation.

 

[Dazzler]

Let me burst the bubble..

Even the new so called improved round maxes out at 300mm frontal penetration hence the poor old t-55 was selected as the punching bag. Funnily, they are still shaky about the results.
