State-of-art New battle tanks to replace India’s ageing T-72 MBT

[Echo_419]

Eventually to be rejected for being substandard and replaced by off the shelf tanks from Russia or America.

We can also import a tank from China & call it indeginious

If it is, it just goes to show how wretched some influential people are in the IA establishment.

They have already proven it when they handicapped Arjun against T90 in trials, according to CAG reports.

I srsky hope parrikar puts the Arny where it belongs

Bring some of the Navy think tanks in Army, they can't do it on their own. Why can't keep inducting and developing up further the Arjuns.

 

[rockstarIN]

Armata will be very costing, more than 30 mil a piece...what I read in an article unless until produced in numbers.

Where you get this man.
World most expensive Tank tag is on Arjun MK2 with near $8 million a piece.
Don't believe any crap posted on internet.

I thought they were upgraded recently so now who are the contenders for replacement ?

If you read the full article

then you fill find that replacement is required in year 2025-27

currently we have 1950 T-72S/M
they were inducted between 1984-94

468 older T-72S which were inducted between 1978-83 will be replaced by off the shelf purchase of 354 T-90MS which was approved this year and will be inducted by 2020

India's been doing that for years. Case in point, Brahmos. Buy a Russian missile, paint in with the Indian flag, call it indigenous, use the word JV and start chest-thumping.

[HASHTAG]#FakeInIndia[/HASHTAG]

There are multiple Indian components in Brahmos much more than in any of your so called JV .

+ we manufacture them in India .

$30 mil is a speculation by myself do not want to write as a cost of a fighter jet!

Since Soviet times, Ukraine specialized in building helicopter engines, and Putin said that Russia was setting up a capacity to produce them at home.

It could be even more challenging to substitute another Ukrainian product, ship turbines. Its refusal to deliver them has derailed the commissioning of new Russian navy ships.

Last month, the Armata starred in the Victory Day parade on Red Square, becoming an emblem of the country's resurgent military power. Dmitry Rogozin, a deputy prime minister in charge of weapons modernization, likened Russia to a 'big Armata' and claimed that the new tank is 15-20 years ahead of the current Western designs.

Speaking in a recent live TV talk show, Rogozin also used armor as a symbol to issue a bold threat to the West - showing how military hardware can also be a powerful weapon in the Kremlin's propaganda war.

'Tanks don't need visas!' Rogozin declared, in a reference to Western travel bans and economic sanctions against Russia. Amid the tensions with the West, Putin emphasized the need for the nation's defense industries to quickly shed their dependence on imported components.

The Armata's price hasn't been announced, but some observers speculated that the new tank could be as expensive as a fighter jet, too heavy a burden for the struggling economy. There are no reliable cost estimates of the tank.

The tank's chief designer, Andrei Terlikov, 52, shrugged off such claims, saying that the Armata's price will drop significantly once it enters full-scale production. 'In the end, the price of those machines will be affordable,' Terlikov told The Associated Press in his first interview with foreign media.

Speaking at his office at the mammoth UralVagonZavod factory in the Ural Mountains, one of the biggest industrial plants in the world, Terlikov described the Armata as a 'decisive step toward more advanced unmanned machines, including those which could operate autonomously in combat.'

He emphasized that the Armata uses only domestically produced parts. 'From the very start, we have set the task to rely on our own resources,' he said.

British royal whining
If they make a single prototype that would not cross $ 10 million figure forget mass production.

“The Indian Army is planning to design and develop a new generation, state-of-the-art combat vehicle platform for populating its armoured fighting vehicle fleet in the coming decade. This vehicle, which will be called the future ready combat vehicle (FRCV), will form the base platform for the main battle tank which is planned to replace the existing T-72 tanks in the Armoured Corps,”

Probably will cooperate with Russia and make something like armata.

If DRDO is doing it, that means it is not doing it.
