If you have nothing to comment in relation with the thread title, Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology, then keep out.

Please read the thread. Both Saudi and Emirati forces have invaded Yemen. I did not say those LeClers are Saudi LeClercs. All I said is that many of these tanks are LeClercs referring to the videos. How did I know some of these are LeClercs? Well, some of them don't look like Abrams, and I have...

That video is not very clear. Here is a video of Saudi tanks rolling into Yemen. And here is a video where some of the targets are slightly clearer. Many tanks are French LeClerc tanks.

I agree with @karn here. I studied torsion (or torque) and solved problems in engineering mechanics in college. Lengthening the torsion bars is certainly one solution or part of the solution.

No. If it reads "Indian conditions," it means Indian conditions, nothing else. Agree. I would be more interested in hard numbers. Mean ground pressure and maximum ground pressure, weight distribution along the track, etc., should be compared with hard numbers, if you at all want to...

Stuart tanks. Hardly comparable with Arjun or even T-90. We even lifted AMX light tanks to Ladakh during Sino-India war. Light tanks will do. We already have BMPs deployed in Ladakh. It is important to know the terrain where these Leopards are supposed to operate. I cannot visualize Leopards...

Well, the picture is hypothetical. I made that picture a year or more ago, by superimposing two types of armour (in black), over the image I had gotten off the internet (brown).

What is the purpose of posting this image? What does it demonstrate? Where did you get this from?

@abhi_the _gr8_maratha, @Peter, @Dazzler, I believe that news article refers to the battle in the Sialkot Sector. India won the war. The question is, did India win every single battle? Let's have an educated debate. I, frankly, am not well versed in the 1965 war.

Good discussion so far, folks. It is my personal view that India should patronize Arjun more, instead of buying hordes of T-90, but that is besides the point. To keep it objective, let's have a re-look at the thread title. We have dedicated threads on indigenization, or if you guys want, I...

Thank you @Akim. Spacibo - :)

@Akim, @Lubov, please help us out with translations.

@Andrei_bt, Спасибо!

What is the full form of ХСЧКВ and БЦКT? @Lidsky M.D, @Lubov, @Akim

Something like a VSPU-24 remote turret as in the Mil-24/35. I cannot find the link. What I can remember is that it takes inputs from the cockpit (not from the helmet sight IIRC), and it introduces its own correction (some kind of filtering, perhaps).

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Mr. Sayare, There is another thing with T-72. It was their smoothbore gun. Merely introducing a smoothbore just doesn't cut it. It is worse than a rifle when it comes to accuracy. M1 compensates for that with really superior sighting systems, which even the...

Welcome to DFI. I see you are from Bozeman, Montana? Please introduce yourself by opening an introductory thread here: Introductions & Greetings Thanks.

What is SB? Can you post some screenshots while you were playing the game?

You asked me quite a lot of questions, and I won't be able to comprehensibly answer all of them. Anyway, this is what I feel: In modern tanks, the guns almost always have Kinetic Energy penetrators as primary rounds and High Explosive multi-purpose rounds as secondary. If you look at some...

Continue here please. Armour and ammunition go together, because ammunition tries to defeat armour, while armour tries to defeat ammunition. It would be far more convenient to discuss them here.
