Another joke of Indian military industry, research and development can only be used for one year in 30 years.

Historically, the relationship between India and the mainland has always been at arm's length. India always regards us as imaginary enemies and rivals. India likes to compare with us in any field, such as population, economy and the most important military industry. However, due to India's weak economic foundation, everything they do is easy to fail, and Indian military industry has become the biggest joke in the world.

The most famous joke is the story of Arjun tank. Because India was a colony before Britain and joined the organization after independence, India was greatly influenced by Britain in terms of equipment. 197 1 year, the third India-Pakistan war broke out. In this war, the British victory tank tailored for India played a very ordinary role.

The result influenced the result of the third India-Pakistan war. To this end, India came up with its own idea of developing tanks. At that time, the performance of the German Leopard 2 tank left a deep impression on India, so India developed its own tank and designed it for Leopard 2.

As the saying goes, "the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny." India, with a weak industrial base, can hardly complete this level of equipment on its own. Even if it is barely completed, the result will inevitably be poor equipment quality and shoddy construction.

Facts seem to prove the fate of this tank. This tank named "Cheetah" (the predecessor of Arjun) was not officially unveiled until 1984, and with the help of other big countries, it can be seen how difficult India's road to independence is. After four years of dawdling, Arjun tank finally managed to enter the proving ground.

However, during the experiment, this tank not only failed to meet the technical specifications, but even the basic experimental projects were difficult to complete. The attack made the Indian military almost desperate for this tank, so the military even took the initiative to ask for the Arjun main battle tank project to be dismounted. Instead, the Indian government continued the life of Arjun's main battle tank project.

In the experiments in the following years, Arjun disappointed the military again and again, but the government increased its investment without any regrets, so that the military was quite dissatisfied with it. Encouraged by the Indian government, Arjun's R&D department seems confident. In return for the official trust, Arjun's R&D department installed the world's most advanced tank equipment on this tank.

This also caused Arjun's tank to be seriously overweight, weighing nearly 60 tons. Because it was too heavy, it once crushed a bridge in India, making Arjun basically unable to go to the battlefield.

Even so, the Indian government seems to have full confidence in this tank, and the Indian military has to purchase 124 Arjun main battle tanks. However, until 2065,438+04, the problem of Arjun tank was not solved, resulting in mass production, and the Indian military could only suffer a dumb loss.

In 20 15, Arjun tank was researched and developed for 30 years. After only one year of official service, it basically withdrew from the battle sequence of the Indian military, because this tank had too many problems to use.

At this time, the Indian military didn't say anything about the second-generation Arjun tank dominated by the Indian government. The total combat weight of the second-generation Arjun tank exceeded 68 tons! It is already the heaviest tank in the world. People can see the actual level of Indian military industry from Arjun, which is really a joke.
