[chairborne ranger]

any info about the ERA?and the origin of the era?

DMRL methinks. the old t-72 era could stop all milan and konkurs missiles dead in their tracks....this is an upgraded era developed based off that.

Indian army is inducting large numbers of the T90 MS, the Arjun tank II too shall be inducted in sufficient numbers to make it commercially viable for mass production

...which is in addition to the improved Kanchan composite laminate armor that is still there,
behind the ERA blocks.

This still isn't the "full" MK.2/production vehicle. That will only roll out in 2014.

Which is clear after seeing right side of the Arjun.

BTW any source for what you have posted?

NICEEEEEEEE!!!!

As far as I know this photo has not surfaced before now and the so called Mark II revealed were actually Mark 1A

Plus this is the only photo in which it is clearly written on hull "Arjun MBT Mk II F1"(As Far As I Know).

This whole "Mark 1A" thing is made up by Sengupta. If you see the older pictures, it has the same logo there as well. This is an almost complete mark 2. It seems to be missing some sensors shown on the CGI.

No link bro. This is just what I gleaned from a freind of mine with contacts within the IA.

Right this Mk.1A buissnss seems to be utter BS. I've not seen a single other source mention the existence of such a designation/product/model. To be fair to the guy has has been right in the past and does some brilliantly researched work.

They've T-90ised the Arjun apparently to rectify the faults.

Next step apparently is something akin to AMAP. Big shots like MKU were able to develop a contemporary of the AMAP.

Its not exactly T-90ised- the sides of the turret have been heavily modified, OFB's RCWS added, new stuff like IR/Laser jammers.

The final variant is yet to come out.

The only real similarity lies in the ERA.
