sorry dear i cannot agree with you on this, neither can anyone with the knowledge or news from indian army. indian armay have backed out of this project, they are getting the T90 and do not plan to induct more arjun than some 124 that were ordered as the first batch, reports say that this decision by the IA my hit a sever blow on the indian Tank X project as well!
huh? Cross country the Arjun will out run the AK. The suspension of the Arjun is a generation newer.. In fact I think the Arjun's set up is superior to the Abrams in that regards. Flat out road speed is not how to judge a tanks speed. Rather it should be based on the highest possible speed across average terrain while still being able to fire and hit a target doing the same. here the tank with the best suspension wins.
July 2005
During the summer trials in 2005, it was reported that the Arjun suffered major problems with its main gun sight, suspension system, and fire control system. Moreover, engine failures occurred commonly in temperatures averaging 55-60 degrees Celsius.
my friend, the tank have fire control system and hunter killer ability making it equally effective while moving in rough terrain and the target is alsom on the move!!a plywood target isn't shooting back to kill, moving at high speed and popping smoke. If it ever comes to war, it will be crew against crew first, the tank is just a force multiplier the crew is the weapon.
what do you mean friend!!if it cannot load a round that can defeat the Arjun's armor there is a major problem, if on the reverse the Arjun's gun can defeat the front of an AK. Both tanks have a gun power problem in my book so call it a tie. I don't know about you, but as an American I don't want a fair fight, I want the other guy to be so outgunned that when I stomp on him his ancestors and decedents groan with pain.
who said that AlKhalid round will have no effect on the great arjun!
dear i was pointing to the fact that arjun have proved a complete failuer in hot and cold weather,( i dont know where to use this tank, i guess indian will wait for pleasent weather condition in order to get the arjun effective)
dear i didnt mean any offense to your post! all i want is that people get the right information from this forum, you will never see me boasting about JF17 superior than the indian Su30 just out of patriotism but yes, AlKhalid is better than the Arjun, rather there is no point in comparing the two so it is better to say that it is even on par if not better than the russian T90 indian are having!
with T90 AlKhalid of course is a bit down coze of its protection but adding ERA will make the competetion at level grounds!
alos remember the fact that PA is able to field 3 to 4 AK for same amount of money that india will require for one T90!!
regards!
