Not a correct statement. We do, but what the Altay was built for and costs we don't have a cost effective need for.So we don't have infrastructure to support Altay Tank???
Essentially, we need mobile forces to counter Indias Mobile forces. Almost like mass dances over the desert because anywhere else we have trench and bunker warfare all along LoC and Punjab. There it is steamroller dig, hold and move warfare, while the actual territory grab is in Thar and lower Sindh as the Indians did in 71(most of it is tradh desert but has strategic mobility value)
There we need forces capable of rapid pincers and flanks with hit and run capability- that is where tanks like our T-80 and Ak flying at high speed in the desert are at ther best. The same goes for Indian T-90s and BMps; their forces are more capable at moving combined forces as compared to ours but have range issues that our apcs do not.
