I opened a different thread, come there.

Look I gave a report where Arjun tank withstood T 72 125mm hit successfully. Chinese and Pakistani MBTs too will be able to successfully withstand 125mm hits. Modern armour has reached a such point in which it is almost impenetrable, which is why blast concussion of 200mm is needed. In WW2...

Will this do? http://indianarmy.nic.in/writereaddata/RFI/445/FRCV RFI.pdf will this do? New request for tank? In one of link DRDO chief was quoted saying Arjun MK 2 is overweight. ""We are planning to procure the latest variants which would be deployed to tackle the heightened threat on the...

https://web.archive.org/web/20110725073043/http://frontierindia.net/the-kanchan-armor/ Here one can get that Arjun tank defeated 125mm gun of T 72 tank. On this context I said to use 200mm gun. That was against T 90S, correct me if I am wrong. T 90MS is different...

You were saying as if I was trolling I was not. I thought every one knew these http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/land/vehicles/2015/05/07/india-tank-fleet-grounded-arjun-army-imported-components-drdo/70963382/...

Inability of 125mm guns to penetrate enemy armour is bigger problem. Plus the tank will have 2 wheels both in front and rear side without chain. So that they can be used in quick turn.

Really knee jerking post? Then why army is not interested in Arjun? They ordered T 90 MS? Why 75% of Arjun is grounded?

@Chinmoy The turret less tank I said was in view of that, now a MBT can survive 120-125mm hit by other tank, it means Chinese MBTs and Pakistani ones are going to withstand 120mm hits successfully. A tank's main objective is to destroy other tank. For this purpose I said a turret less stank...

Simple solution. The tank will have light turret over gun, which will have an AGS and ATGM. Like M3 Lee tank This WW2 tank has a 75mm gun as main gun, and 37mm gun as secondary armament on a rotating turret. Will talk about it later.

You dont get it. If Arjun tank was built along with Indian farms, it would be less costly. Why would indigenous parts make the cost increased? DRDO and other defence companies by joint effort should build. Finally dont get into armour. M1 Abrams were hit by RPG 29 although M1 Abram can tolerate...

A tank alone is not defined by weight. Merkava is wholly a lot better than Arjun MK 2. I gave a quora link, look it up. Or go ask army why they want Merkava tank or T90 MS now if Arjun MK 2 was so good.

Turret less tank STRV 103 defeated Chieftain, M60 Patton and Leopard 1. Look it up.

Completely agree. In WW2 tank destroyers were best in defence. However one thing should be noted since turret less tanks dont have turret so therefore they can use bigger gun, and add heavier armour. The hull is most protected part of any tank. Turret less tanks boast up their hull armour.

I have thought of an idea of a turret less tank. The main problem of turret less tank is it cant go though wall without damaging its cannon, as it cant rotate its gun. To solve this problem we may use hydraulic recoil mechanism. link http://nigelef.tripod.com/gunchars.htm This system can...

That turret blew off. The S tank and the tanks I mentioned were of same era. Anyway turret less tank has some disadvantages. Link http://ftr.wot-news.com/2013/08/28/strv-103-the-s-tank/ As you see turret less tank has excellent low profile. The tests showed STRV 103 had better accuracy but...

Whether you agree or not, Indian army has junked Arjun MK 2 http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/armys-fleet-of-arjun-tanks-face-technical-issues-major-proportion-of-124-tanks-in-service-not-operational/articleshow/47103764.cms I think Arjun MK 2 may face similar issue...

It is not propaganda. Arjun tank has some serious problems. No supply of foreign parts and Arjun tanks are grounded. Now turret less tanks are not used because they do not offer much elevation and depression. But they offer good camouflage. Turret rotating is very important in warfare. Turret...

I know about it. It is still in testing. I dont think it will be used that much.

India needs turret less tank, with APS system. Swedish Strv 103 won against Leopard 1, M 60, Chieftain tanks. Indian military thinking is as usual flawed. Most important part of tank is engine and we went to build a tank before producing a modern engine...

Do you think a 68 ton tank is what we need? With 1400 hp engine?
