So the 570 tanks are a mix of Al-Zarrar and Al-Khalid MBT's?
Anyhow, once again, positive news which puts a smile on my face.
These tanks add the extra punch we need regarding infantry and ground warfare, but then again, India lately bought alot of Anti-tank guns and is continue to produce alot more, seems like they've been prepared for this.
