Yeah, it definetly sounds expensivee with 2.5 T-90Ms per Arjun Mk2 Tank. How good is this tank seriously compared to the Abrams, and the T-90s? Can anyone tell me how much is 37 Crores in dollars? Thanks.
Arjun squashed the T-90s in all combat trials during an intense face-off between Army and the DRDO. For once, DRDO won leaving the Indian Army top brass stuttering for answers and groping in the thin air, looking for pathetic excuses to retain their commissions from procuring foreign made weapons. Considering that T-90 is a capable and world-known tank, its defeat at the hands of Arjun MBT means that the latter definitely has substance.
Arjun's armor is much more superior along with its ground pressure, endurance and gun accuracy. However, the reason why Army cannot stop the T-90s is because the contract to make additional tanks in India locally, was signed just a year before Arjun proved itself. All this apart from Army's corrupt top brass that earns a fat commission from favoring foreign arms makers rather than choosing good defense equipment that is available locally.
When taking INR 37 crore it is around US$ 8 million.
