Walter_Sobchak Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Its a truly ugly tank. It's like they combined design elements of Russian and Western tanks and somehow made something less attractive than either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khand-e Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 True, it makes the tank look like it's made out of legos. That could plausibly be It's actual construction all things considered. AdmiralTheisman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tied Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Now, im pretty sure Lego's would offer better protection versus HEAT weapons than the usual Leopard 2a4 box protection standard that everyone and their mother in the western block has been parroting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoon Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Wow, and you thought the ERA coverage on T-72B3 was bad. It's almost sad how bad of a tank it is. I am seriously wondering what the engineers were thinking? Let's mate a T-72 and a Leopard 2! And then give the super accurate rifled gun! And Let's upgrade it with the superior Russian ERA and copy their layout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamefurDispray Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I imagine they were thinking the same thoughts as the designers of the INSAS rifle were. Honestly, it's astonishing how the Indian arms industry uses the best weapons on the market as influences for their indigenous design only to have the product somehow worse than its influences. One can only imagine the fate of Indian test pilots when India wants to make its indigenous fighter aircrafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can only imagine the fate of Indian test pilots when India wants to make its indigenous fighter aircrafts. Speaking of that "the problem with India’s HAL Tejas is that it is one of the single worst fighter projects that has ever been conceived of in the history of aviation."

Collimatrix Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 You'll note that all of these broken, awful systems came out of DRDO, which has more or less a monopoly on weapons development in India. DRDO is, by all accounts, one of those hilariously corrupt, inept, and ineradicable bureaucracies that exists only to perpetuate its own existence. There is no shortage of good engineers in India, but they are trapped within a terrible system. Oh well. They can always buy weapons from the Israelis: Priory_of_Sion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 According to this CAD mockup of the Arjun turret: It isn't just the slot for the GPS that's a weak point. It's the almost entire right cheek of the turret. From here. So frontal weakpoints for the Arjun, and by "weakpoints" I mean "places where it can probably be penetrated with 1970s era APFSDS out of a U-5TS," include most of the right side of the turret and a spot in the center of the glacis.
