Re: Armoured Vehicles Discussion Thread

They probably want to get statistics out of the trial. For example X% Arjuns had problems v/s Y% T-90s and so on. For that you would need a larger number. But I am speculating here. Maybe some of the experts can give us their opinions. and "The earlier plan was to hold trials using a small num...

This may be a naive question so Gurus please clarify why this may not be a valid option. If SC blades are the only problem with Kaveri, can't the blades alone be made by a foreign firm with the required metallurgical expertise given the specifications?
