After Both Tanks Break Down, India Knocked Out Of International Drill

[ashok321]

The Indian Army has been knocked out of the high-profile international tank biathlon taking place at the Alabino ranges in the Moscow region of Russia after both the main and reserve T-90 main battle tanks developed mechanical problems.

As a result of the breakdown of both tanks, the Indian squad was unable to complete the race and were disqualified. This is a sad end to the competition for the Army's tank crews since they had topped their group in the earlier round and were seen to be strong challengers to win the competition.

Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and China have now entered the final round of the event. Russia and Kazakhstan participated with T-72B3 tanks, Belarus with a modernised T-72 and China sent its indigenous Type 96B. India decided to field its top of the line Russian designed T-90 Main Battle Tank instead of the indigenous Arjun tank which was widely expected to participate at the games this time.



Nineteen teams in total participated in the exercises with the top four entering the final. In the past, India had participated in these games using T-72 tanks provided by the Russian hosts. The Army felt disadvantaged using these tanks and was keen to field its best tanks and best crews. Consequently, two state-of-the-art T-90s were shipped across to Russia for these games.


Each participating team has up to 21 personnel including team members, a coaching crew and a maintenance unit. There are three stages in the competition - all teams participated in the individual race. Twelve teams made it to the semi-finals including India which involved a relay race. The top four teams will also participate in a relay race in the finals.

So India gets eliminated and the Chinese tanks are still in reckoning?

And India still wants to fight China?

Now, I'm waiting for the bloody idiot mocking our tank in another thread

Where are you guys? Come on, don't be shy and said something

Indian military is paralyzed by Import Lobbies. Arjun can beat t-90 anytime but again its a question of eating bribe, so national interest can take a hike.

 

[Valar Dohaeris]

Eww, that's embarrassing.

Is the T-90 in the same sphere as the M1 Abrams? Better?

don't worry, those want to flight have a ton of excuses, blame it on the weather, blame it on the shipping, blame it on Russian....oh, blame it on the target.... it is dark green almost like back ground. But never never blame it on themselves! then they will said, this time we are ready, not like 1962.

Is the T-90 in the same sphere as the M1 Abrams? Or is it supposed to be better?

M1 is the best in the world with no parallels.

you may be right! this time the border situation between China and Indan, will give those a huge chance to eat some bribe?

 

[Feng Leng]

Don't laugh at Indian army! Next time they will send Arjun to show their shupa powa!

 

[ashok321]

Now some airhead Indians are giving lame excuses like why India did not field their own made in India tank Arjun, thereby putting doubt on Indian army general to be of low IQ and inexperienced.

Shame on such Indians who can not accept the defeat gracefully.

If the same Arjun would have been defeated or failed, they would have wondered as to why India did not send their best T-90.

For them its very troublesome to accept the defeat.

State of the art T-90.

Here few will use indo-china situation for further imports by using excuse "our local industry cant produce decent armor". Fat generals will eat money. Arjun can get the hell out of t-90 but during testing b/w 2, these guys set different testing criteria for arjun and different for t-90 to further justify the t-90 import.
