British army after seeing the nagorno karabah war has decided to get rid of its tanks and focus on drone. Pakistan should also not buy any more tanks and invest in drones and loitering munitions. That's the way forward. Cheap effective and easy to make

 

[Akatosh]

Just wow. This figure is from November 2020 so expect another 50 tanks already delivered.
HVF Avadi is producing almost 120 tanks per year now.
Can any other tank factory in the world (excluding ones in Russia, China & US) even dream of achieving such gargantuan production figures.
A testament to the might of India's industrial capability.

What industrial might? By being an assembler?

Nothing a few CBU-87/97 and GB-6 can't handle

CAS aircraft will be taken out by QRSAM.

It is a short range SAM that can be taken out with anti-radiation missiles (such as LD-10) or a rocket barrage.

So totally we will have 1657 T90 tanks which is a decent number.... For T90 MS 464 tanks have they started deliveries? March 2025 seems complete induction date of 464 tanks....

Practically anything can be taken down in war.

Tank assembly is nothing special. India is not producing them in house, just assembly from Russian kits. What ever happened to the Arjun project if India has such good factories? Even Pakistan has higher self-production of tanks than India.

India has No MS models on order, that order was never officially signed and was later confirmed that India only had more S models on order. India calls it’s never “S” models “MS” despite them having none of the MS upgrades that Russian tanks have. The 464 further order are base model S tanks as well. Not MS
India also has not changed any of the armor composition of its T90 (as claimed by some that it got upgraded composites) as India cannot do so without Russian permission, something india has never gotten and has often complained about. The only changes india made to the T90s by itself was a Thermal imager for the gunner (still not done on all of them) and AC upgrades.

This also doesn’t solve the issue that these tanks are still using Second generation ERA while the world (including all Pakistani tanks) have moved on to 3rd and 4th Gen. Or that they use projectiles from the 70s while ones from the 80s are still being bought. The ammo India is importing has 460mm/0 deg at 2 KM, something local Pakistani APFSDS achieved in 2003 with APFSDS-T. Current Pakistani rounds have 600 and 650mm/0 At 2KM. Indian T90S only has 2nd Gen thermal imagers. AK and VT-4 have moved on to third Gen. What’s the point of buying new tanks when the systems in them are ancient?

Wrong.
Indian T-90s have more than 70% indigeneous content.

HVF has reached over 90 per cent indigenisation for the T-72 tank during regular production, and over 70 per cent in the T-90 tank.

T90 and T72 are not Indian tanks though. They are Russian. Anyone can get ToT. If Indian industry is so impressive why does it lag behind countries that are 10x smaller than India (namely all of Europe, not to mention AK has been in production since the 90s.)
And what of all the other points I bring up? You can make 3000 tanks if you want. What’s the use if they can’t even go through the base armor of AK?

We don't lag behind. In terms of value of manufactured goods produced we rank 10th in the world and soon will be in top 6.

So you bring up manufactured goods in a discussion about the capability of Indian tanks.
