Indian Army T-90 Tank Barrel Explodes, Killing One Soldier

[Tejas Spokesman]

woh bechara har thread mein quantity acquired vs losses ki ratio ka soch k apnay aap ko tassali de raha hota hay - aur aap ne uski ki woh choti si khushi bhi cheen li

You destroyed his ratio by providing a lower figure Kuch to khiyal kiya karen

If not faulty ammo, poor training, inferior quality of fuses, sub standard maintenance, poor handling of equipment as well as logistical issues, of course the terrain effect like sand can be an issue. Take your pick.

Bhai ko bat he, wo bat he. At some places, India has produced over 2000 T90. So it's important to give some reality check time to time.

Only reality here is that India has 1500 T-90 tanks in inventory.

In addition to 657 accquired direct from Russia these are OFB annual production figures:

2009-10: 24
2010-11: 51
2011-12: 60
2012-13: 90
2013-14: 93
2014-15: 98
2015-16: 96
2016-17: 92
2017-18: 95
2018-19: 98.

Plus it will be safe to assume between Apr-Oct of FY 2019-20 atleast 50 T-90s produced so easily 1500+ T-90s in Indian inventory.

Current T-90 batch of 1000 no.s will complete production by April 2021.

HVF will start churning out T-90MS in Apr 2022 and will finish production by end of FY 2025-26.
