    Malhotra adds initial order of 124 Arjuns should not be seen as a cap on acquisition. “The comparative trials would dictate the number of Arjun tanks acquired by the Army in the future.”

    The Army continues to be guarded on the issue. “We’re neither categorically accepting or rejecting the Arjun MBT. Any comment will be made after the trials this summer,” said Group Captain R K Das, CPRO (MoD) Kolkata.

    Arjun MBTBy: S. Irfan Husain | 02-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward The safety of India's soldiers and their right to have quality equipment in battle should not be sacrificed on the mantle of indigenous production. The Armed Forces should not be put under any political pressure and should be allowed to evaluate any military equipment as they see fit. After all, it's not the politicians or their children who are at the front lines fighting to keep India safe!
    Every thing is PossibleBy: NJS | 02-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward Arjun MBT is good tank , if it is mounted with LAHAT missiles in it . The extra fuel tank is in upper in back side of tank ,it is not safe .in war time it will easily damaged by enemies,it's too dangerous for the tank , so need to covers it with stonger one. For further development's (MARK 2)should have longer range detection , Longer range anti-tank missiles , Stronger air defense

    Trial Trial and More trialBy: Ajay | 02-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward thats bcoz when we buy from other countries, they make sure that everybody (from top to bottom) is paid bribes and it is taken for granted that the weapon producer must have conducted all kinds of trials
