The best thing for using Arjun will be to mount a 155mm gun with modifications to Arjun Chassis. It may be asking for too much. IIRC, we tried even that with the Bhim but the Kangress/Renuka Choudary nixed it. Guess, some people( tanks) are just born unlucky. Sum I don't know how can someone with d...

I hope that is true, not just the technology but a tried and tested product. A product that is accepted by IAF and IN. In case of war with pakis whenever that happens, thermobaric bomb will become very handy in wiping out Sargodha AF Base, Rawalpindi, chaklala.
