I think DRDO is doing great job for Pakistan if we look at her achievements and misadventures we should honor its chiefs for helping Pakistan and wasting huge some of Bharti money.

A little learning is always dangerous as they say.

Now their PAD or what also fails looking for Russian SAMs,

Again,a little learning is a dangerous affair,especially for the numb-nuts!!That's why you are comparing apples with oranges.First of all,the PAD was never meant to for operational deployments but was developed and used as a technology demonstrator for,to validate the definitive version called PDV which is now under trials!!But then again,even when PDV becomes operational,we would still need an anti aircraft SAM system simply because technically,the PDV was never designed as a SAM but a Ballistic Missile interceptor!!So how can a person worth his salt be so naive to compare a interceptor with a long range SAM is simply beyond my reckoning.And that is exactly why I always advise people to try and comprehend the whole deal,to look into each and every minute detail of the subject they are about to make judgments of, before passing their sweeping statements like this one here.A little bit of studying the materials that are available in open domains could have saved you the embarrassment.

Tejas a Failure,

Delayed - yes.A failure - light years farther away from it!!There are already a firm order for over 120 units!!Does that look like a failure to you,or is it that the meaning of this word is defined differently in your country or are you plain ignorant and stupid??Which one is it??

Arjun a Failure,

And this 'failure' outmatches your premium MBTs in almost each and every design aspect imaginable!!And that makes you the punchline of your joke - kitty!!

Akash A failure

MkI has got a firm order-book of over 6 billion USD!!!And that's equal to your one whole year's worth of spending on your entire armed forces!!Clearly you are not acquainted with the meaning of this word you are so fond of using!!

and many more.

Such as??

It was always doomed. It has failed in pretty much every aspect. The delays which Arjun caused and the time wasted in looking for other Tanks has resulted in massive loss for Indian Army. But wait here come great Indian patriotic guys to defend this disaster known as Arjun Tank.

Yeah yeah,may be that's why the CAG had to snub the Indian Army for not side stepping this so called 'grand failure' of your in favor of the superior martian tank like the T90s,right??And if Arjun is a failure in every aspect,then so is your Al Khalid!!Oh wait,I keep forgetting all the time,it ain't yours!!Your contribution to that whole project ends with the bolts and the paints!!So technically,yeah,you guys are yet to fail on anything......but for that to happen,you first have to try something out on your own!!But looking at the number of research papers and filing of patents from your 'research institutions',it doesn't seem likely for any foreseeable future.

instead of answering him you are behaving as troll. ans him pointwise with facts, lets see what you store in your brain

 

[Omega007]

Okay,good memes,and now they are mine!!
But as good as these two were,and I know you have put in a lot of efforts to find and then finally post these two gems,what how are these two memes,in any way ,relevant to our topic at hand again??And by the way,do you know who invented this meme business??

instead of answering him you are behaving as troll. ans him pointwise with facts, lets see what you store in your brain

He's quite a decent chap if you look at his comments in this following thread :
Indians crowdfund Pakistani girl's medical treatment

It's a different thing that he's a moron,but then again,that ain't his fault!!

Say whatever you want but the fact is....

1 Arjun = 2 Khalid.

Yes if we compare cost and time but performance even i can't give honor to Arjun to compare with operational successful tank.

 

[Robinhood Pandey]

not a single Tank operational, during trials more then 40 time brook down. .

Dear Al_asad_al_mulk aka abu_namr aka Ifrit

Just to keep u updated 120 arjun MK1 are operational with IA as of now .

P.S - if u create multiple IDs atleast try not to get caught with ur pants down

@Ifrit Sir please share some knowledge with him as you seem to have good knowledge on defence sector.

Knowledgable indeed !!

Your "sir" doesnt even know what he is blabbering about.

Your ignorance is of epic proportions AK was 50 % partnership but within few years we totally changed the Tank with Ukrainian engine and all the internal systems were changed. AK-2 will be revealed soon and work on AK-3 is almost complete

arjun - ineginous

Al-khalid - licenced produced
T-90 -- lic produced

Where is the comparison

 

[Stephen Cohen]

@Ifrit @Zarvan

Right now we are buying T 90 MS

It is much superior to T 90 S ; our existing tank
