Alittle tank and ammo news.
1. The ARJUN MKII trials must be off to a good start, with only half the upgrades in place thus far in the prototypes, IMOD has gone gone ahead and ordered 248 ARJUN MKII tanks. I don't want to say I told you so...yes I do about a year ago. 500 tanks were needed to make the project viable financially though it was in doubt at the time due to pressures from the Army not to buy the the tank. They had no choice after the "duel in the desert" last summer when it ran circles around the newest T-90S tanks from Russia. The T-72's were withdrawn before the competition.
