Great news

Now that's a Block Buster !!!

 

[bloo]

The PCB projectile has lethal capability of penetrating 500 mm thick RCC wall in more than 1.5 km range. The electromechanical fuze of ammunition functions only after sensing the impact at a predetermined delay. The projectile contains 2.6 kg high explosive, which generates 0.2 kg/cm^2 peak over pressure around point
of burst. The fuze has self-destruction capability. The ammunition is so accurate that it can engage 1 m x 1 m
target at a range of 1 km

awesome

Yeah, dont know if it's going to be something more common though.

Mobile Camouflage System
The MCS provides multi-spectral signature
management for the AFVs to protect the vehicle against
all sensors and smart munitions. The performance
evaluation trials of MCS have been conducted at MFFR
and system has been integrated in the Arjun MBT.

DRDO is also co-developing the Mobile Camouflaging System (MCS) technology along with a Gurgaon-based private sector defence manufacturer Barracuda Camouflaging Limited. The MCS has been developed by DRDO to help the tank reduce the threat of interference from all types of sensors and smart munitions of the enemy in the tank's systems.

And ALWACS continues to stick out of the silhouette like a Boss. Why can't they embed some of those sensors into the turret better?

Last time they were talking about Swedish one.

There is a chance either the Trophy or Iron fist will make its way onto the Arjun.

Last time they were talking about Swedish one.

The Swedish ones were for the T-90s.

The Barracuda camouflage system has been bought by the IA for all their Arjuns and should become standard within the year.

Iron fist?? Have you seen the launcher size?

Bursting the Kontakt-5 bubble...

Apparently, the ERA Mk-II is developed with the intention of providing a common ERA system for Arjun, T-90, and T-72 MBTs.
What is seen on the Arjun Mk-2 prototypes is NOT the Russian K-5, but an equivalent designed & developed by DRDO.

Now, why they had to develop an indigenous equivalent is anyone's guess - probably cost benefits & other pluses of
local manufacturing.

However, while the performance is matched, the material composition may be different. Furthermore, the overall armor
layout of Arjun Mk-2 is significantly different to T-90/72. The inclusion of newly developed DPA being one of the prime
contributors, other than the improved Kanchan CLA which is the base.
