Sometimes one has to take the excessive nationalistic Indian press (and Wikipedia entries) with a grain or 2 of salt. I recall recently on another thread (http://www.strategypage.com/militaryforums/72-20001.aspx) that Arjun will not be operational for a while. The Indians have recently bought up to 1,000 T-90s (local production), which means Arjun is:
1. Inferior to T-90 (?)
2. Not operational or cannot be mass produced for some reason.
I do not imply any negative bias on the Arjun (or any Indian equipment/product), but my take on this MBT project is it is a white elephant - it has sucked up so much funds and not produced a substantiative tank that can go into production. Perhaps it's a case of misplaced nationalistic pride (not to cancel it) - the money could have been spent acquiring a better foreign-made tank.

India has developed a new nonlethal weapon in the war on terror: the curry hand grenade. The device packs curry, peppers and phosphorous that creates a choking cloud that brings baddies to their knees within seconds. A tank mounted version is also available for hosting larger events for terrorists hungry for pain. <!-- keysoldier1 -->
i am curious about the tank mounted version. Must be really hot.
