''The tank would feature all round STANAG Level 2 protection with add-on armour taking it to STANAG Level 4 in the front.''

mr.T Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 The DRDO Light Tank will weigh about 25 tons and have a crew of three. The tank is planned to sport a 105mm rifled bore gun. This will be capable of firing FSAPDS rounds with 500mm of penetration, HEAT, HESH and ATGMs among others. The planned gun elevation is between -10° and +42° controlled by an electrically powered gun control system. An autoloader will be provided for the main gun. Secondary armament includes a 7.62mm coaxial gun and a 12.7mm RCWS. Surveillance drones will be integrated with the tank. A diesel engine would be provided which DRDO claims would provide up to 32hp/ton at sea level. The amphibious tank can ford depths of 1.5m. The tank can attain a maximum speed of over 65kmph and will use rubber tracks. Stimpy75 and Laviduce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bustle ammo rack is isolated, it is using system known as CABIS- Containerised Ammunition Bin (with) Individual Shutter, rest of the ammo is also placed in CABIS derived fireproof containers.

Wiedzmin Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 the final version of Arjun's calculations, all the thicknesses of the plates correspond to the real ones according to the nomenclature of the armor plates (those that existed), the dimensions of the special armor of the turret may not be accurate because there is nothing to check them with, 2 fuel tanks inside the engine bay have been added to the diagram which were not previously visible, more accurate estimates only possible if someone undertakes to build 3D... *pink plate - pure frp SH_MM, Stimpy75, Volke and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
