Arjun faces dilemma over efficiency

arjun battle tank 26

The much-awaited Arjun Tank has been delayed by almost 16 years. The Indian Army is not satisfied with the structure and efficiency of Arjun tank and ranks Russian- built T-90 better than Arjun.

They say that Army would not cross any border with these tanks. DRDO is still working on this project and its cost has been increased by more than 20 times. Now the DRDO is saying to built another battle tank for Indian Army.

Some 30 years ago, the Indira Gandhi‘s cabinet had been sanctioned the Project Arjun.

It was targeted to build a homegrown battle tank. Now, the Indian Army has the large numbers of lumbering, misfiring, vintage design Arjun Tanks.

The 58 per cent of Arjun’s content is imported such as its engine, the integrated gunner’s main sight and tracks.

However, in the same duration, the Sino-Pak Al-Khalid tank has been productionised and its induction has been started. On the other hand, Indian Army is still in a dilemma over Arjun’s performance.
