India cancels LAHAT installation on Arjun Mk II

[holysaturn]

Tube launched ATGMs didn't proof themselfs so far because there are no tank battles...plain and simple use either some real arguments or just refrain from non argument posts.
LWR only range from a specific spectrum for IR and they do not cover spectrum of most Laser Beam riders.
SACLOS missiles are great and western countries are far behind in tank technology than russians for example, they used RWS already during the 80's, they were the first who used composite armor, ERA, APS, tube launched ATGM, soft kill system like Shtora, EMT shield against electrofuzed mines, airburst ammunition, image processing and autotracking for FCS and western tanks are only starting to implement some of those technologies while those technologies are around for quite some time.
Also APFSDS have only one good point it is the velocity but everything else, they are inferior in penetration on range, combat irrelevant for any engagement ranges and have only one purpose to be fired against TANKS, ineffective against APCs,IFVs,buildings or anything else that is not as armored as a MBT while HEAT rounds do have some capability to effectivley engage any target.

Please back your claims that LWRs are spectrum limited.And your claim that russian tank technology is simply superior to western is baseless. Russians are first to use auto tracking and image processing !! and western tanks only starting to implement !! I dont want to comment on subjective things with no substance here.
Your claim about FSAPDS is laughable as almost all tanks have their main anti tank weapon as APFSDS.
I agree that kinetic round have no use against buildings,bunker and infantry but your are again wrong that they are not effective against IFV,APCs.,but I am here talking about tank to tank warfare which the missile,kinetic round will primarily used in.
