1. To Marcello's video in the previous post first THANKS! and second 115mm all the way.
2. Back to the ARJUN this next site has listed it as NEW to their equipment list. It has a little more info on armor type and capabilities. Though it still doesn't disclose which country was quoted as touting the ARJUN as one of the worlds best tanks from the earliest posts I submitted, I think the field is narrowed down considerably from my much earlier thoughts on the subject. Elbit of Israel and KMW of Germany apparently played a much larger role in the development of the ARJUN then was publicly revealed earlier. I think we have enough information to agree that at the very least it's a very capable tank in it's own right especially after the way it performed against the T-90S last year. ARJUN MKII will be developed with 95 new upgrades.
