WHat a bunch of nonsense. You seriously have no clue as to the subject, dear lord. T-80 turret? Not at all. Not even on original T-90 san suffix of the 1990s, let alone T-90A or T-90C. The only thing the trials showed is the clear attempt to make the T-90 look bad by achieving horrible firing accuracy for example (something no other T-90 operator ever had)… in the end it indicates either 1.) Indian tankers are incompetent 2.) the trials were bull****. You pick. The T-90 is going to be the mainstay of the army, Arjun has been a spectacular failure of a program in the grand scale of things.
Honestly, I don’t mean to be rude, but tanks are something of a passion of mine. Your post was 100% nonsense, go post it on tanknet and see what happens.
sorry you are being rude, ignorant and using patriotism as a substitute for facts.
you are in a really sorry state if tanks are your passion and this is your level of knowledge.
I’ve spent my time at tanknet and then some with real world tankers. why don’t you check what vasily fofanov, an admin at tanknet forums (a site you seem to swear by) says about the T-90 in his site ?
everyone, especially right thinking russians admit that they have fallen behind in the tank race and the T-72 development line is an evolutionary dead-end. cancellation of the black eagle which too was developed on the basic T-72 philosophy by russia’s MOD is further confirmation of the fact.
about the Arjun.. it is right.. its a western style tank.. built in a country that does not have western style infrastructure to support it.
what exactly is western style infrastructure ? 😀
arjun is transported on trains and the bogeys needed to transport it have started production.
it is designed to give much better hassle-free performance on the frontlines than the T-90. there was a report by an army EME guy (Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) attached to a T-90 regiment. the field trial performance of the 2 tanks was pathetic. both engines conked up, it took about 6 hours to change it (it takes less than 30 min for arjun) the electronics got fried up and worst of all the russians let them know that the engine would be able to produce only 75-80% of its brochure power. this when the T-90 is anyway underpowered compared to tanks like arjun.
Oh here we go, the Leo-2 fan club. Leo-2 is no magic tank, sorry. Abrams has better crew survivability for example due to entire ammo capacity being stored in blow-out panels, while Leo-2 has a portion of the main caliber compliment on hull floor.
hello TR1, arjun has its entire ammo stored in blow out panels as well.
