Why not army induct arjun in large no. as of army has to replace there T-55 & Vijayanta next 10 yr it is better tank but the problem it is senior army officer did not get money from indigenous product
You don't get it do you? The Arjun did not meet all the test requirements. It selected the underpowered engine to start with, and later on it gained a lot of weight that forced the engineers to redesign for a bigger engine. Then the tract breaks down every 300 km, and it has problem with heat, and the Arjun will crush most Indian domestic bridge with its 60ton weight... the list goes on.
The Indian army simple doesn't want it. But to save face, it ordered 126 for training purposes. Meanwhile, it got a **** load of T-90s to replace the older tanks. Arjun is officially dead.
