Indian Army Refuses To Order More Homegrown Arjun Tanks

摘要

The Indian Army is locked in a battle with Defence Research and Development Organisation [DRDO] over the acquisition of additional homegrown Arjun main battle tanks. While DRDO wants an additional order of 500 Arjun tanks to stabilize the production lines, the Indian Army is adamant that it wants no more than the previous order of 124 Arjun tanks.rnA senior Indian Army official said, "The DRDO is putting pressure on the Army through the Indian defence ministry to order 500 additional Arjun tanks when the Army does not want any more."
