Well if I were a betting man I'd say the F-35 has a better chance to get into the game now than the Indian FMBT. ALTAY and K2 should be fine especially in the case of the latter. ARJUN MKII as is the new Turkish LEO-2T, represent the final bridge to reach those goals for their respective countries. It does not however help the Indian cause that we're not likely to see the ARJUN MKII before JUN. 2013 or JAN. 2014 vice the current game start date as based on the best info we had at the time of submission. Delay the test bed you delay everything after it. So with all this in mind here's the latest on FMBT due in 2018 but
NOW POSSIBLY 2020 OR OUT.

And maybe the civilians can do it better, a most unusual tank design contest. Maybe I'll give it a shot...

On the bright side it might be the first new tank for
SPMBT BEYOND 2020 AND TO INFINITY!, yeah it is a rather long name, isn't it!?!
