Link Below as to What the Indian Tank Regiments and Nos will be by 2020 from an INDIAN GENERAL
Presently, as things stand, Indian Army HQ is adhering to a modified MBT force structure, whose original version, as proposed in 2006, had called for a fleet of 3,780 MBTs, comprising 1,302 T-90s 2,356 T-72s and 124 Arjun Mk1s.
The modified structure now calls for 2,473 higher-end MBTs, including 1,409 T-90s, 248 Arjuns, and 692 T-72M1 Combat Improved Ajeyas. The Armys gameplan is to have 21 regiments of T-90s and 34 regiments of upgraded T-72M1s and six regiments of Arjuns by 2020.--Prasun K. Sengupta
Contrary to Pakistan Propaganda The Arjun regiments will be doubled to 250 tanks.
Easily the best armour the Arjun cannot be stopped by a T90- even with a direct hit.
Best in terms speed and 4 man crew.
The Arjuns role is specfic its designed to fight in a nuclear battefield..
Even if it is inducted in above mentioned numbers, it will still not be India's front line mbt and that role will still be fulfilled by T-90s. Being patriotic is good but please don't ignore facts.
