Army Decides to Take 124 More MBT Arjun Tanks


   The Army has decided to place fresh order for an additional home-built 124Main Battle Tank (MBT) Arjun. This is over and above the existing order of124 tanks. The development follows the success of the indigenous MBT Arjunin the recent gruelling desert trials.

    The project for the design and development of the MBT Arjun was approved by the Government in 1974 with an aim to give the required indigenous cutting edge to our Mechanised Forces. After many years of trial and tribulation it as now proved its worth by its superb performance under various circumstances, such as driving cross-country over rugged sand dunes, detecting, observing and quickly engaging targets, accurately hitting targets – both stationary and moving, with pin pointed accuracy. Its superior fire-power is based on accurate and quick target acquisition capability during day and night in all types of weather and shortest possible reaction time during combat engagements.
