Terrorist State of INDIA Makes Operationally Useless Battle Tank |

India's Battle Tanks Arjun Operationally Useless
Pakistan Times Foreign Desk Report
NEW DELHI (India): India's defence production authorities handed over
the first batch of first five "indigenously-developed" Arjun main
battle tanks (MBTs) to the Indian army on August-8.
However, according to diplomatic sources, the Indian army chief has
expressed skepticism about combat worthiness and operational mobility
of the tank.
The Main Objection
The main objections raised by the army headquarters are that with its
excessive weight and width, the Arjun tank has poor operational
mobility.
It will not be possible to rapidly move it from one area of operation
to another on the existing tank transporters on our rail network."
Secondly, the Arjun weighs 58.5 tonnes. As such, it outweighs the
newly-inducted 46.5 tonnes T-90S Russian MBT by 12 tonnes. "Being
heavier than the Russian substitute, it is too heavy to transport over
most border bridges in India".
Arjun is not only less manoeuvrable, but also suffers from recurring
engine and fire-control-systems problems.
