There is no arjun Mk2 , army has ordered 124 additional arjuns
are you on drugs ????????!!!!!!!!!!!
or i am in a dream ??
In March this year, during trials in the Rajasthan desert, the Defence R&D Organisations Arjun tank conclusively outperformed the Russian T-90, the armys showpiece. Buoyed by that success and by the armys consequent order for 124 additional Arjuns, the DRDO is now readying to develop Indias next-generation tank, currently termed the Future Main Battle Tank (FMBT).
This contract was made so as to keep the assembly line of Arjun open for a few more years , otherwise it would have closed in 2011 , considering the fact that 100 Arjun Tanks have been delivered till date.
This additional order will enable DRDO to keep the Tank factory open till 2014
DRDO infact wanted army to purchase 350 more Arjun MBT however army declined the offer and decided to purchase 124 more Arjuns
However i can foresee purchase of a 3rd lot of 124 Arjun MBT in 2013 so as to keep the Production line open till the induction of FMBT in 2018 , and also the fact that if there is a delay in FMBT ,then army will be short of 100 tanks in 2020
T-90 MBT 1657
T-72 MBT 2000
Arjun MBT 0248
TOTAL 3905
Thats a shortage of 100 tanks against a sanctioned 4000 MBT
Arjun is still not fully inducted in the Army and the are not going to induct in large numbers anyway, and you are talking about the next tank?

Does this Mean that Arjun MKII is getting into its Final Stages, and its all set to Roll Out??? You made my Day guys
yes mk2 might be in the final stages ......... but thanks to army's new so called fmbt requirement it will be killed again ........ what i mean to say that no mass production for it ......
arny has an requirement for 4000 tanks ~~2000 t72s aren't going anywhere anytime soon , we have already ordered 1600 t 90 tanks... so that leaves a room for only 400 arjuns .....
guys i can't this thing through my head ....... WHY ISN'T ARMY GOING IN FOR MORE ARJUNS AND SCRAPPING (1000)T 90 ORDER WHEN IT KNOWS THAT ARJUN IS MUCH BETTER TANK ???
