Interesting. If old (wonder how good US really knew Soviet armor in 1976, just three years after the first T-72 was accepted in to Russian service). I see T-64 and T-72 mentioned on p 130 only, but apparently with many unknowns.

Depends, especially when you need an entire fleet,
your need for a ferrari,
operating cost comparison of the Ferrari
spares and stores for your Ferrari
Quality of subsystems for the Ferrari,
your capital and operating budget allocations for the ferrari.

It's always good to have options. say If your requirement is a Mitsubishi EVO III, you don't really need to spend 8 times to get a ferrari.

remember "wohi jhaag wohi safadi, agar kum daam me mile to koi yeh kyu le, wo na le, Nirma Super!!" ting tong

ting tong !!!!!!!!!

This assumes you can actually tell apart the Ferrari and the 'something like a Ferrari', qualitatively speaking.

A Lamborghini or McLaren could be considered 'something like a Ferrari'. Are you suggesting those are not so good?

Or does it depend on a) budget and b) taste/preference?

If someone offered me one of the three, I'ld say 'yes, please, thank you' always
If someone offered me a pick of one of these three .... mmmm, tough choice.

let me make the choices easy
ferarri =loads of pure unadultrated power with best control possible which you can use on daily basis and is quite forgiving,durable and dependable
Mclaren= best power dilivery and nicew control but dependability and maintainence an issue
Lamborghini= agressive power to its limits and drives like a bull and screams attention but owning one means endless maintainence bills

so if i have the money il go for ferrari its the cutting edge pinakkle of pure fun and control and gives you a sense that you own the world and have control to do so without worrying too much about troublemakers

same is the case for T90 its the cutting edge of soviet/russian armoured technology and is leathel like no other while has right speed and control and needs less mantainence aswell ... i maybe wrong ... have a nice day

The point is of course that all three are supercars....

but ferarri is the best to drive and mantain + has the best resale value

And nonetheless one may still prefer one of the others, which wouldn't mean one would be driving a poor car. It all depends on what the specific criteria of the buyer are.

IA may love T-90, but that doesn't give us their reason, nor does it mean the T-90 is an inherently superior MBT. It simply fits IA requirements and budget well. Whatever you think of the Arjun, rest assured it is not going to go away. This is because for India it is considered important to acquire and maintain the ability to design and build an MBT 'at home'. And personally, I don't think it is a poor piece of kit. WHether it optimally meet IA requirements, that is another matter.
