Army to place fresh order for 124 MBT Arjun tanks

摘要

The Army has decided to place fresh order for an additional indigenous 124 Main Battle Tank (MBT) 'Arjun'. This is over and above the existing order of 124 tanks. The development follows the success of the indigenous MBT Arjun in the recent grueling desert trials. With an aim to give the required indigenous cutting edge to the Mechanised Forces, the government in 1974 approved the project for the design and development of the MBT Arjun.
