One can be skeptical and questioning about the announced use of the 2000cr.

The Indian army has about 2200, T72. The question arises whether it is relevant to continue to focus on this tank. The country’s armament policy must meet its immediate and future security needs. On this side one can be questioning if one examines the park of the tanks of the Indian army. It seems incoherent to invest in outdated models and to show interest in the new Russian T-14 Armata tank. We must introduce rationality at the level of all the components of the army.
