MoD has signed contract with Russia’s Rosoboronexport for procurement of 1000 HP engines for T-72 tanks in fully formed, completely knocked down and semi knocked down conditions.
DAC has paved way for procurement of this tech, which will enable tanks to track & hit targets with more precision. As of now, T-90 tanks are positioned manually to hit targets.
Technical parameters are being finalised & plan is to have first prototype in four years, it is learnt. FRCV is expected to weigh not more than 60 tonnes as against 45-tonne T-72 tank.
1,770 FRCVs will be procured along with transfer of technology, performance-based logistics, engineering support package, and other maintenance and training needs.
