India will complete testing of its new Arjun II tank in August

The final test of the new Indian main battle tank (MBT) "Arjun-II" (Arjun Mark II) will be held in early August this year in the state of Rajasthan. This was reported by the weekly Weekens Weekly.
Although tests of the partially upgraded versions of the Arjun II tank are already underway, one completely new tank will take part in the tests for the next few months, in the design of which 73 of 93 improvements have been made, including 19 of major modifications to the requirements of the army.

As the head of the research and development department of CVRDE combat vehicles (Combat Vehicle Research and Development Establishment) Dr. Shiv Kumar, in charge of upgrading the Arjun II MBT, the remaining 20 additional improvements are related to the tank’s armament, they can be implemented separately.

According to military sources, Israeli companies Israel Military Industries and Elbit Systems advise the CVRDE to complete the tank modernization process.

According to a source in the Ministry of Defense of India, Arjun II will include improvements compared to Arjun I, including active-reactive armor and a nighttime thermal sight of the tank commander, replacing the day sight set on its first version. The machine will be equipped with Israeli Lahat light anti-tank guided missiles (LAHAT), equipped with a laser countermeasure system integrated into the gun. The laser beam intercepts an approaching enemy missile, after which the crew has 93-10 seconds to respond to the threat. However, within a few milliseconds, the tank’s onboard protection system automatically fires smoke grenades to form a smoke screen and disrupt the missile guidance.

The tank is equipped with an automatic target tracking system and an improved ground navigation system.

The auxiliary power unit of the tank has a power of 8,5 kW (instead of 4,5 kW), the 120 mm caliber gun has an improved barrel, the tank commander’s panoramic sight provides protection from the laser range finder radiation. The crew consists of four people: the commander, gunner, loader and driver. The mass of the new tank 67 tons, while the mass of MBT "Arjun-I" is 60 t.

Resource tank gun designed for 500 shots, which is twice the life of the gun tank T-72. The seat of the tank commander is equipped with an improved panoramic sight.

The new tank has a low and less vulnerable silhouette. The same German diesel engine MTU 838 Ka-501 of MTU and the semi-automatic transmission RENK 304 S are installed on the Arzhun-II as a power plant, although more distant plans provide for the use of a nationally developed engine developed in cooperation with Western manufacturers.

If the tests are successful, the machine will be ready for commissioning at the beginning of 2015. The armed forces ordered the 124 tank Arjun II, which will be manufactured in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The machine will cost 370 million rupees (6,27 million dollars) per unit.

Just recently they wrote about this) It turns out just like with our ships for the Navy) There are not many new ships, and there is just a bunch of news about them)) "They will soon be laid down! Almost laid down! They are already laying down!

Bargained, now every country that imagines itself to be a military superbrain is spanking equipment, the technologies in which were developed back in the USSR. disgusting. With Su-35 in general, apologists will be in trouble, then we get stuck with the copied equipment to compete, as an example, the Chinese S-300 and Kalashnikov. It concerns absolutely all countries buying weapons from us.

The Indian tank has a German engine and shoots Israeli rockets - such a military cooperation brings together long-standing enemies.

This is not "reconciliation", but BUSINESS. K.g. "nothing personal". In the event of unpredictable geopolitical changes in the world, these tanks can easily become just TRACTORS. Best case scenario.
This is not from a good life.

This is not enough. Before you "pull", you still need to see where, in whom, and calculate with what parameters. More and more electronics in the tank hinge. Now, if with optics it is even more or less normal, then with electronics there are a lot of imports. IMHO.

Good morning everyone, 93 changes - so this is from Zaporozhye - Ferrari can be collected. In general, this gimmick with an Indian tank has been going on with them for more than 30 years, the story with the American f-35 - it’s not good for him to cut money ... it will be interesting to see what they get on the way out.

at the exit they will buy t90ms or a stub from Almaty))))

Yes, with such a number of population and the existing territory, they need tanks no less than Ikarus. Better armored trains

But be sure to have smart armored trains. Others just don't roll

"Jimi, Jimi, Jimi,
Acha, acha, acha ... "

it would be better if they would attach a couple of wagons to the locomotives. Imagine if such a train goes off the rails?

[zennon]

Is it not obvious that a couple more wagons will look the same?

Well, at least the poor driver would see where he is going. otherwise it’s possible to reach Pakistan)))))

Hooked already. And not one. Yes, how many do not attach it ...

Why probably? The development of Almaty is underway, probably in the United States and Germany, work is also going on in this direction. Sadly, so much effort and the output of the tank, barely reaching the leaders.

[shark]

It’s also the right policy to collect the best from the world (at least as much as possible) and combine in one machine. True, service becomes too costly and tedious. Too many links in the chain ....

Arjun number 1 done, Arjun number 2-complete the test, so when they complete - they will do Arjun number 3

add to the one and a half billion another 320 million Pakistanis who are in conjunction with China !! Do you think Pakistan will sit aside and watch as India and China swing their swords? They will immediately strike in the side !! do not doubt it! and with this story, you can safely delete from the billion Indians three hundred million Muslims who live there! against Pakistan they will not trample

[Dober]

Quote: lonely

And a large number of Muslims in India live in the state of Jammu and Kashmir on the border with Pakistan, in the Delhi region and other central areas, whose territories in ancient times were part of the Delhi Sultanate, in the state of West Bengal, in Kerala and some other states of India.
In China, Uyghurs stir up ... There are also Indonesia in the region (1st place in the number of Muslims), the Philippines, etc.
Do not be fooled. The current wars are waged not between the states, but between the faiths.
And which of these "billions" will be for whom, and against whom? Nobody on the planet knows now.
This will not be a war, it will be MORTGAGE! SUPERMESILOVO! Affect the WHOLE WORLD!

They can arrange a competition between "Arjun-II" and T-90S. Passage of the track with shooting. The same tank biathlon. And they will see for themselves what is better done and of better quality.

[Krilion]

Yes, don’t worry, the Indians won’t be able to do anything nichrome .. I don’t remember a single original and noteworthy example of Indian weapons made by them with their own hands .. a society that has so far been divided according to caste (brahmanas, untouchables, etc.) p.) and the vast majority of which live in garbage cans, by definition, are not capable of a technological breakthrough ..

actually, I think the Indians are better off buying or collecting more T-90s than upgrading all sorts of arjuns-marjuns !!

[Sashkessss]

The Indians generally began to unwind, as can be seen from V.O. The ship is new, then the tank. Soon we will see in the feed not the developments of our military specialists, but stories about a new type of camouflage for the Arjun-1050 tank and an Indian ship, which was half built, with a lot of photos and videos. Moreover, the video is mainly of the type "An Indian is tightening the bolt" or "An Indian is eating shawarma in the dining room during a break *

This is not an Indian tank, but an international one, of which there are only components there, Israeli, German, as well as Russian developments. But this is not surprising, Black is not capable of an intellectual breakthrough.
