Using expensive Main Battle Tanks as protective shields is economically inefficient. Their value, if any, lies in offence, not in stationary protection.
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.
The Haider tank, which will be Pakistan’s Main Battle tank, is a product of collaborative efforts between Norinco China and several industries within Pakistan.
The project will clear the encroachments, revive the aquatic life, beautify the temples, and create public amenities in the area, which attracts thousands of devotees every year.
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.

Decimation of Russian tanks suggests heavy armour is no longer enough to dominate the battlefield. The 2nd of a 3-part series on lessons for India’s military from the Ukraine war.
Even though India fought its last major tank battle in 1965—the famous battle of Asal Uttar—the armour continues to have a key place in operational plans.
1,770 FRCVs will be procured along with transfer of technology, performance-based logistics, engineering support package, and other maintenance and training needs.
A stunted middle class may be a direct result of extreme inequality. Folks at the top don’t see teeming masses as a meaningful market, except for utilities, soap, short videos, and personal loans.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
