The T-72 BLT

The T-72 Bridge Layer Tank is designed & developed by CVRDE and R&DE (Engineers) and is one of the world's most advanced bridging systems fitted on a medium tank. It has the option to carry a 20-metre MLC 60 scissors bridge or a 22-metre 70 MLC scissors bridge. As per the 2002-03 report published by the Ministry of Defence, the first limited series production order of 12 vehicles was placed by the Indian Army and six vehicles were ready for delivery.

The T-72 Bridge Layer Tank heaves up its huge scissor bridge to be laid over a dry, un-passable stream. This is the fastest crossing expedient for mechanised forces.

186.Battlefield Surveillance Radar


BFSR-SR is a state-of-the-art lightweight, man- portable battery-powered electronic short range battlefield surveillance radar developed by the DRDO to provide all- weather surveillance against intrusion. The radar is capable of searching a specified sector and performing track while scanning for multiple targets. The radar detects, tracks, and aids in classifying the moving targets. The entire radar system is carried by two soldiers and operated on a tripod. The radar is compact and weighs about 27 kg (packed in two modules; each weighing not more than 15 kg) and can be set up within six minute to match the speed and requirements of the users.

The radar has sophisticated built-in software algorithms to detect, track, and classify targets like crawling man, group of walking men, light and combat vehicles, and low flying helicopters. It also has a built-in interface for automatic transfer of target data to remote locations and capability of integration with imaging sensors. The radar is amenable for mast-mounted role on any light vehicle. The BFSR-SR is a potential sensor for the paramilitary forces besides Army. It also has the potential to be us
ed for perimeter e-surveillance of large industrial units, defence installations, and civilian infrastructures like airports.

Used by India,Indonesia,Mozambique and sudan

187.EOCM-Class Laser System

As far as I know, Pakistani defense Industry is larger than indian one..

Our projects like JF-17 Thunders, Al Khalids, Missile Program etc were/are more successful than your counterparts like Tejas, Arjuns etc...

Leaving aside JF-17 vs Tejas thingy, on project level, Tejas is a failure b/c it doesn't add anything new to IAF..JF-17 Thunder adds new power-package to PAF..hence a more successful project...

Anyways, two countries have different visions of shaping their defence..and hence their respective defence industries are geared for different challenges..

indian ship building capacity is better than Pak's though..

Not surprising, because you dont know anything, and anything you do THINK you know is wrong anyways...

Jf17 program is similar to Su30MKI LCA program is a whole different thing. Even Su30MKI is more Indian than Jf17 is Pakistani.

If you want to compare your Jf 17 with an equivalent Indian project,do it with su 30mki,as both are joint ventures. When you have your own aircraft project ,compare it with Indian. It would be extremely wrong to assume Indian defence industry is smaller than Pakistan's.
