what r the capabilities ?

Is that get up supposed to give it a more "Indian" feel? To be honest it looks disgusting in all that flower-vomit.

Anyway, congratulations on duplicating the T-90. Does anyone know how many license built T-90's IA plans to induct?

 

[Beskar]

Wiki sources claim India plans to build a 1000 of these monsters. That's quite a lot of MBTs. Someone's definitely gearing up for a future offensive.

I think they are planning to have 1500+ tanks during the next decade or so. Out of the original order of 300+ , around 100+ were delivered completely by Russia, rest in Knocked down kits, and the Bhishma is an Indian made improved variant.

flower vomit: its a new technique adapted by Indians to hide the armaments ............

In real the word "duplicating" is called license building here! which only good, matured, responsible countries can afford.......... unlike Chinese friend who are the real users of the tanks which you say "duplicating"

Hide the armaments? Funny how in the rest of the pictures, the T-90 is completely exposed. IMO the vomit has more to do with portraying the common Indian man how "Mother India" makes everything from scratch.

Duplicating, Licensing, It's the same thing. And I didn't quite understand your last statement. Please write proper sentences for our benefit.

Ok before you lose your hair over some other over the top assumption about the presence of mere garlands.....let me save you some looks and help you out.....

Whenever we start anything new or buy anything new....Like cars..etc...in this case, T-90 tanks....we do a ceremony to bless them, sort of to start with a sound and auspicious footing.....
Feng-Shui of sorts....we call it Vastu Shastra....though I might be mistaken about the terminology....

Now whether it spews garland vomit or shells that make its enemies pinch a fast one.....thats for you to decide....Cant blame you if you dont like the way it looks.....Besides....do you think any of us care??

I didn't ask you to care, but I sure will ask you and your friends to stop trolling around here. A bit of humour here and there is all right but dedicated trolling isn't. I didn't see you folks trying to answer the question I asked about the Induction of T-90 in the IA. Your perspective on that would've been appreciated. A Pakistani member was able to answer that but yet some of you seem hell bent on trolling. Do you have anything to add to Taimikhan's post? If not, then enjoy your stay here while it lasts.

"To begin with, paradoxically, by the time the contract was filled in 2004, India had become the owner of a larger number of modern Russian tanks than the Russian army itself. Indeed, the latter had no more than 150 T-90 at that time. Moreover, the Indian T-90S tank is in technical terms significantly superior to the first-batch T-90S – it is in some important respects practically a new tank. It has a new welded turret, a 1000 hp V-92S2 engine (compared to the 840 hp V-84MS engine on the old T-90), and the Essa night sight with a French-made Catherine-FC thermal camera. For the implementation of this contract, all engineering drawings were transferred to CAD software and the production process at UVZ was modernized significantly."

the "flower vomit thing" is supposed to be a hindu ritual...and hence the flared tempers on an otherwise normal thread.

 

[EagleEyes]

I think above explains it well. Lets get to the topic.

Fine....Since seems like you "genuinely" want to know about the tanks......

Here goes...


India bought 310 tanks from Russia in '01
India gave an order to licence manufacture another 1000 tanks to the OFB (India) in '06
India followed up with another order of 330 tanks with Russia in late '06
India plans to have 1,640 T-90S tanks by 2020

Hope that clears things....

He did, since the two Pakistanis, Taimi and Bezerk, were the only ones trying to have a factual conversation on the tank numbers till death_invader and others popped in with smart *** comments.

Two threads now where this nonsense has been on display - respond to the topic and questions with civility all of you, and if you cannot help but get your panties in a bunch, go elsewhere or we'll send you elsewhere.

P.S: 'Flower vomit' - clever characterization Bezerk

what r the capabilities ?

T-90S Bhishma

*The T-90S Bhishma is a customized, improved version of the T-90S which India developed with assistance from Russia and France.

*The tanks are equipped with the French-designed thermal sights

*It utilizes India's Kanchan explosive reactive armored plates.

*The T-90M features the ‘Kaktus’ embedded explosive reactive armour (ERA) package on its frontal hull and turret-top (the T-90S has ‘Kontakt-5’ ERA.

*it is fitted with an enhanced environmental control system supplied by Israel’s Kinetics Ltd for providing cooled air to the fighting compartment, has additional internal volume for housing the cryogenic cooling systems for new-generation thermal imagers like the THALES-built Catherine-FC thermal imager (operating in the 8-12 micron bandwidth.

*It has an ugraded Shtora countermeasures system and 9K119 Reflex ATGM capability.

*upgraded to use the ESSA thermal imaging sight, which allows for accurate firing to a range of 5000-8000 m using the CATHERINE-FC thermal camera produced by Thales Optronique. The gunner is also provided with the 1G46 day sighting system which includes a laser range finder, missile guidance channel and allows tank-sized targets to be detected and engaged at a range from 5000 m to 8000 m.

T-90 was bought to counter Pakistani deployment of the Ukrainian T-80UD in 1995–97.The T-90S saw combat action during the 1999 Chechen invasion of Dagestan. According to Moscow Defense Brief, one T-90 was hit by seven RPG anti-tank rockets but remained in action. The journal concludes that with regular equipment T-90S seems to be the best protected Russian tank, especially if Shtora and Arena defensive protection systems are integrated in it.

"especially if Shtora and Arena defensive protection systems are integrated in it"
meaning Shotra is not part of Indian T-90??
