ashdivay Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 India's got one of the best steel industries in the world. second largest producer of steel in 2013.China, Japan and USA are the top 3 steel producers of the world.BUTCan you explain to me how having a large steel production capacity translate to Building worlds best tank MBT system.Development of advanced MBT requires more than just large steel production capacity.You of all people should have refrained from making such a illogical statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 More like people making statements and illogically comparing tank made by a developing country which has never developed a tank before to ones made by developed western countries.Arjun is considered matter of pride for Indians as this was their first attempt. Sure its not perfect but its still a step in the direction,And its still a work in progress.T-90s will still be mbt of the Indian army while Arjun will continue to be developed and used as means to develop experience in the field.Give it ten more years and some of those highly industrialised nationsWont be able to manufacture a spoon never mind a tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
