India Mulls Buying Russia’s Armata to Develop Its Own Future Infantry Tank

Buying Russian tank to develop india's own......what a logic :hitwall:

Maybe development here means "COPY"
 
. .
Quick........... time to sing The ToT song............ labeling it as indigenous Arjun 4.0 can wait for later! :p:
 
. . . . .
India Should stop buying Russian arms for time being. They dont seem to acknowledge the fact that India buys weapons from Russia due to respect towards them. They think their weapons are of quality and dont seem to respect the timelines....

you mean replacing a fleet of 3500+ tanks ???
1 armata = 7 million $ (approximately)
3500 tanks = 24500 million $ (approximately ) = 24.5 billion $

Seems Un-economical by now for india..
but Can be possible in a period of 5 to 8 years..

But first ask them if they have any intention to do so ?? As the source seems unreliable ...

Its not 3500,
We are already inducting T-90s, with some 1200 inducted and another 450 to be inducted by 2020
Indian MOD is planning to reduce the MBT fleet to 2750 Tanks from 3500 at present, thats because Our border with china is not suitable for heavy tank warfare, and Pakistan border in punjab and Rajasthan doesnot require more than 2500 Tanks

from what I know is that India is looking to acquire some 384 Tanks from Russia, whether they will be T-90SMs or Armatas, we will have to wait

GOOD to hear that... i thought the title is about "Armata system" not Armata tank.. So that's why it feel hard to me to change the full fleet..
So As per you MOD planning ,, in future indian army will have 3 types.. T-90's ,, Arjun ,, and Armata ???
 
.
So the Arjun turned out to be unsuited for the Indian Army afterall.


There are no factual news or links to suggest that India is going for Armata tank, more of Russians side news that its been offered to India and china

You have only 500 t-90s as of now... Thanks to delays,Russians not transferring tech,shortages etc... That's why 200+ were ordered off the shell and a siniliar number in knock down kits were ordered.. 1650 by 2020 is highly unlikely.


Breakdown: What’s Happening With India’s Tank Force? | The Diplomat

What about buying MBT 2000 & renaming it Al Khalid ? This is not a reliable source.
AK is much more Pak than even your leopard 1 copy Arjun ... Most of which is imported .. And yet failed and gave way to T-90s.

The FMBT is the future for Indias armoured corps. There have been far too many problems with the T90s. An Indian designed tank would be far better for India vs. the armata which is designed for plains and the arctic versus jungles and deserts.
