NEW DELHI, AUG 13 (PTI)

Mobility and other defects in German supplied engines came to fore recently in country's main battle tank Arjun but these had been rectified, Defence Minister A K Antony said today.

Some mobility defects had been noticed in the tanks during recent field trials and these related to failure of piston rods of Hydro Penumatic Suspension System, the Minister said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

He informed the House that the cause of the defect had been analysed and corrective action taken.

The tanks, Antony said, had also reported defects of premature warming of air filter of German supplied MTU838 KA501 engines powering the tanks.

"These too have been rectified in consultations with specialists from the German firm," he said.

Arjun tanks are soon to undergo comparative tests against Russian supplied T-90 and T-72 tanks which would pave the way for their large-scale induction in the army.

Though the Government has so far sanctioned commercial production of 124 Arjun tanks, so far only 14 had been handed over to army for trials.

Instead of digging a 2007 thread you should spend the time to learn how to fix a nut in your beloved AK...(see the picture below)

need i say more?

would i be wrong to compare Arjun to King Tiger? Both awesome tanks but too heavy to move around and very difficult to maintain.

opening a 4 year old thread.. to troll..BTW 124 arjuns are inducted and very soon Mk 2 is coming..

Abrams is heavier than Arjun. is it hard to move it? Arjun is getting 1500 hp engine instead of current 1400 hp. but drdo will add more era on tank.

current weight of arjun > 58.5 tons

would be weight after new engine and era is placed> 60 tons

Abrams weighs 61 tons or more but still with 1500 hp engine it's top speed is 72 km.

so tell me how Arjun will be too difficult to move when it has 1500 hp engine but weighs less than Abrams?

before some one calls me ignorant and wants to say " Abrams has gas turbine engine Arjun has diesel " i would like to point out that newer abrams have turbo diesel engines.

 

[wakapdf]

60 tons- 61 tons... is pretty much the same thing. ABRAMS is a logistical nightmare. Cause look more weight = more fuel consumption. In war time, when the supply lines are thinned out, i think it will be very difficult to maintain ARJUN. But its for Indian government to decide, do they want something slow in favor of giving their soldiers ultimate protection or do they want to invest in something quicker that would be easier to maintain and mobilize thus limiting protection.

 

[wakapdf]

by slow, i mean maintainance and not its speed
