Why Indian T90 should upgrade to T90S

[Major Shaitan Singh]

Interesting, but don't forget that the T90s we have are pretty new, it doesn't make sense to upgrade them already at high costs. Depending on how much we still need to produce, or how much more we want to procure, it would be better to buy the upgrade features and add them to our production line, while older T90s can be upgraded later. Same way we will do it with the MKI and Super 30 MKI.

Thing is, the T-90 the IA has is the T-90S. This proposed upgrade is to the "MS" standard. From what I've heard the IA is seriously considering undertaking this upgrade and Russian officials have alreaqdy visited India and briefed IA on the possible upgrade.

 

[GR!FF!N]

upgrade it or not,please don't drop Arjun-2 for T-90...we already faced enough tango already...just go ahead with Arjun project.

As part of their defexpo presentation, not to forget that the Indian defence market is the biggest in the world and many companies are presenting their products to our forces, but that doesn't mean we will buy anything that is on offer. On the other hand, I expect IA to buy more T90s with upgrades, than Arjuns.

Hmmm no need..
Induction of t 90S will effectively kill Arjun Mk2 project...
Everyone know that it is a advanced tank, and there are sabotage work from the start to stop buying it in favour of foreign T 90S

We got jerked thanks to General kapoor.......our tanks the T 90s we paid for are crap...

The T 90S is already in Indian service!

The upgraded tank is the T90 MS.

The Tank fleet will probably look something like this in the future:

1500+ T 90S/ MS

250 + Arjun Mk1/2

(T 72s will probably be retired).

T70s can be turned into tank X with Arjins turret

Currently we have

857 T90S/M
124 Arjun
1968 T72S/M1
550 T-55

Thats over 3500 MBT

The remaining 800 T90M that are to be inducted will replace the old T-55 and some of the older non upgraded T-72S
from above , you can see that we have over 2500 Tanks that will need to be retired by between 2012-27
while our current induction plan will only help provide us with some 800 T-90 and 124 Arjun Mk2 by 2020
so that will leave us with a fleet of 1600 T-72 (1000 upgraded to M1 Ajeya standard) in yr 2020

You people need to understand that their is no way in hell that IA is going to reduce its armour to below 3000 Tanks

Uski Koi Jarurat nahi...we don not have any competition from Pakistan.
