Leclerc right?
Well, the title says that this is Arjun tank... and know what? It doesn't lie! It's really Arjun tank, indian MBT. And the indian flag is also here.
And now about topical: Moddb.com
and indian tank? But I thought they had the T-80 as their main tank (they did design it toghether with russia right?) And this tank looks like it comes from the same era :/
I guess u meant this one Moddb.com Let's clarify the situation. Arjun is in production since 2006 and they planned to launch it's mass production, so it was called MBT. But in 2008 they chose russian T-90 as a perspective tank. Currently they have more than 330 T-90 tanks. Bigger part of them was bought in Russia, others were produced in India by license. And they plan to increase it's number up to 1660 and more.
As to the Arjun tank, currently India operates little more than 54 such tanks. After numerous modernizations they decided to increase it's number to 124 tanks. It's rather clear, to have own tank is more acceptably for blighty industry. But Arjun lost comparable trials with T-90. So I guess they will stop on T-90. And contracts with Russian prove this.
Lol though it was some company or something name.
Looks like the leopard 2 somewhat :\
And i think you mean the t-90, griffinz. :P
Looks a lot like the Leopard 2A4!
