Stunning.

But still not sure about the value of putting a mine plow in every unit.

Also, the armor at the front of the turret look asymmetric - the area just to the left of the main gun has sloped armor, while the right side does not.

Mine ploughs are necessary on all tanks.

One can see holes for fixing something to the left of the main gun - it must have been removed hence the gap.

They will fix it eventually

Looks very nice. Armour looks more stronger than Mk1 version.

AFAIK thats not sloped armor, these are reactive armor bricks.

arjun will have both sloped and reactive armour all round its turret and will also have the israeli trophy system plus some other stuff aswell

From what I understand this is NOT the Mk.2 rather Mk.1 which has been customised with some of the Mk.2's features. The full spec Mk.2 is around 1 year away until then the many upgrades of the Mk.2 will be tested on different customised Mk.1s for instance another Mk.1 will be used to test the new power plant, another will test the new electronics such as the APS and RCWS etc etc.


We will have to wait a while bottle we see the full-spec Mk.2 the IA have ordered.

:facpalm: NO need for this pal. Inviting trolls like yourself.

I'm no expert but I believe the mine plough will be fixed on not all But some tanks in a unit depending on threat levels, mission, unit size -whatever. The leading tanks will have the plough and will clear a path for the others in the unit to follow so,no, not EVERY tank will have a plough- they don't need to.
