NEW DELHI:

An army soldier was killed during training practice at Mahajan Field Firing Range in Rajasthan's Pokhran on Thursday. The army has set up a court of inquiry to probe the matter.

"One soldier has been killed during the routine tank firing practice in the Mahajan Field Firing Range. Court of inquiry has been ordered," a senior Army officer said.

Yeah, that's a possibility. The term "barrel" might've been used for for general public to understand but again I'll wait for the report to come out

The video look fake... that tank gun sounds like pussy puff puff and the dust is a joke... real tank gun fire look different...

As for the CH2 accident... unbelivable something like that happen... have they no safty routine like the german Army has... would not happen ...not that there happen no accidents... but missing part on a gun... means gun was fired first time with crew in tank... safty routine failure...

a new gun, a repaired gun a replaced gun... everytime something was done on the tank gun... the first rounds are fired by the weapon repair team... stricked procedur... aim the gun... leave tank... load gun... leave tank... everyone has to get out and take cover... the first round is fired with remote control with no one in the tank... after the shoot the weapon repair team check the gun befor the crew can get back into the tank.

This is how a shooting tank gun blast look like...

1150 approximately.
OFB Chairman said in august 918 produced by HVF + 657 from Russia.
T-90 production run of initial 1000 order with HVF will end by mid 2020.

Series production of 2nd batch of 464 tanks will begin then.

What you are not going to compare with US, China, Russia, this time.
And do you think every one of those so called whopping 1500 have been tested to fire.
Yes all tanks fire 6 rnds before delivery.
 
Maybe some chandu forgot to take off the gun cover. Very possible considering some chandu scuttled multi billion dollar sub by a small mistake like this.

Doesn't matter as only low caste soldiers must've died. India is in no short supply of such dalits and shudars.

woh bechara har thread mein quantity acquired vs losses ki ratio ka soch k apnay aap ko tassali de raha hota hay - aur aap ne uski ki woh choti si khushi bhi cheen li :laugh:

You destroyed his ratio by providing a lower figure :woot: Kuch to khiyal kiya karen :rolleyes1:

If not faulty ammo, poor training, inferior quality of fuses, sub standard maintenance, poor handling of equipment as well as logistical issues, of course the terrain effect like sand can be an issue. Take your pick.

Bhai ko bat he, wo bat he. At some places, India has produced over 2000 T90. So it's important to give some reality check time to time.
