Leading an Israeli military observer to call/ praise the ARJUN after the competition the " Desert Ferrari" Still feel LIKELY to see this, more so if this deal gets done.

OK.... that link specifically says

The main armament of the Arjun Mk II main battle tank consists of a 120mm rifled gun fitted with a thermal sleeve, fume extractor, and a muzzle reference system. The gun is able to fire a full range of ammunitions including FSAPDS (Fin Stabilized Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot), HESH (High-Explosive Squash Head), PCB, TB, and the Israeli Laser Homing Anti-Tank (LAHAT) missile. Laser Homing Attack Missile, or LAHAT, is an advanced missile developed and manufactured by the MBT Division of Israel Aerospace Industries

So........ this long delayed unit should have LAHAT ?
