Weight of tank would be around 48-51 ton. The tank able to fire missiles like CLGM and LAHAT.

You pay less blood if you sweat more.
I am for our army conducting exercises with other countries, collecting experience promoting friendship with other armies. With America, Japan, Korea and Australia armed forces. as far as I know, the US Marine Corps wants to do it on land and sea with Vietnam, but there are still too much sensibilities in Vietnam hindering such exercises to happen. My bet is, if the Chinese continue advancing their arrogance and aggression in the region, conducting regular exercises, including inviting Russia navy to the drills, bullying our fishermen, the day will come such domestic sensibilities will disappear.
 
Is it just me or the turret is really high compare to the T-72B3 and T-90MS?

Very few tanks are so low profile as the T-72 family....with possible exception of S-tank (but that does away with a turret altogether).

Thats the advantage when you go for autoloading (which has other drawbacks though).

Some 10 years ago it look like this.

But technologies changed and lot of new things added.

Obviously silhouette is larger compare to T-72 M2.
 
And when you think that there will not be a plot twist here.

"Mr Duterte said he might ask China and African nations to form another body. He also accused the UN of failing on terrorism, hunger and ending conflicts."

Just............lol. How world change in the blink of an eye........

@Farhan Bohra I don't think our Ground Force would choose your upgrade package.

What would be the reason?

So what you are saying is to put a brand new Arjuna turret on the old T-72s?

The Arjuna is actually a very good tank, although quite heavy.
 
Not surprising, considering the Filipinos always accused him of being too friendly and pro-China before the election.

I have the same feeling.

As buying tank is not just about tank, but about ammunition and logistics.

This tank indeed will be true hunter killer surpassing T-90 MS. But changing logistics, training and ammunition is pretty hard job.

I think it is because we see men sitting on the turret. the mounted device makes the tank higher. More vulnerable to enemy fire.

Arjun is for contact battles in plains, while T-90 & T-72 is for protecting the flanks over bridgeheads.

Now IA even started to deploy T-72 over mountains.
