Indian tank joke

Armored vehicles made in India still have many defects.

Most of India's military equipment is purchased, and few of them are made in China, because Indian fighter planes crash at both ends in three days. Since flying in the sky is not good, what about the ground? Tanks are the king of land warfare. How can India, which has always been an enemy of Pakistan, lose this important weapon?

So India also has its own tanks. For example, this Arjun tank is a main tank that India has spent decades building. But whether this tank can be called the main tank is still a problem, because it is full of loopholes.

Few countries can develop tanks for more than 30 years. Some countries are constantly improving their weapons and pursuing Excellence. It can't take so long to build a brand-new weapon. India is an exception. The development of Arjun tanks in India began at 1974. In the process of development, India did not develop itself, but adopted some foreign technologies.

For example, the power plant uses a German diesel engine, but due to the lack of experience and technology, many technical functions of Arjun MK 1 tank are not mature. Therefore, in May of 20 15, the US Department of Defense reported that India had completely stopped using Arjun MK 1 tank, mainly because there were too many failures, and many tank parts could not be imported from foreign countries at all.

I thought this kind of tank would not come out, but I heard that India launched a large-scale research and development work and upgraded this kind of tank in all aspects. The upgraded Arjun tank has advanced fire control system, vehicle-mounted system, infrared interference and laser alarm. However, India's upgrade cost is too high, and many tank parts are imported from abroad, which is nominally independent.

In fact, it is a combination of multinational equipment. However, India bravely developed this tank. I have to admit that this perseverance is still commendable. Finally, Arjun main battle tank adopts general layout.

The cockpit is on the right side of the front of the car body, the turret is in the middle of the car body, the captain and gunner are on the right side of the turret, the loader is on the left side of the turret, and the power unit is behind. Standard includes computerized fire control system, night sight system, three-proof device and additional fuel tank at the rear of the car body. There are many kinds of deformation vehicles for Arjun's main battle tank.

Including armored rescue vehicles, engineering vehicles, bridging vehicles and air defense platforms, we also tried to install a turret equipped with South African T6 155mm/52 caliber guns on Arjun's chassis, which was called "Bim" by the Indian army. The front armor is obviously inclined, the front of the car body is equipped with a V-shaped breakwater, the top of the car body is horizontal, and the armor plate of the power cabin at the back of the car body is raised.

The 120mm gun of this tank has a thermal sheath and an exhaust device, which are installed in a vertical gun shield. The front of the turret is upright and has a certain angle with the back. The sides of the turret are also upright. Now this kind of tank is also very popular in India. After many transformations and upgrades, this tank has also been upgraded to a main battle tank.
