But the thing is, the Israelis actually learned from their mistakes and kept addressing the shortcomings throughout the successive trenches which finally culminated into the now awesome Merkava Mk4M; something which never came about in Arjun's case and that's where all the contention lies - that we, as a people, are so averse to admit to our failures, let alone work towards learning from and finally rectifying them. A lot of us just refuse to learn from our mistakes, there by missing out on the chance to grow from them.Arjun Mark 1 was pretty oversized & crudely designed... but so was Merkava Mk1.
Oh and what, the MkIA is NOT crudely designed as per you??!! Don't tell me that you actually believe that.
There was very serious need for it in light of all the made up bs that were flying around, which often times rose to the point of blatant and unadulterated lies. All things considered, we didn't lambast it hard enough, as those same misleading made up bs is still going rampant to this day.There was no need for so much extra shit to be hurled.
Ummm.... not really, not for me anyway. I got banned primarily because of the owner of that GodOfParadoxes handle on X. Somehow, my pointing out the shortcomings of this utter travesty of a tank rubbed him the wrong way and he jumped in guns blazing, to defend the honor of the nation or something, it got heated in no time, one thing led to the other and ezsasa handed me that ban for insulting a reputable member (which was just me calling him a shriveled up mummy AFAIK), while completely disregarding all the vitriol and ad hominem he had hurled at me.All will were banned were banned for how they were making their points, not what the points were.
Fun fact, up until that point, the guy didn't even know what a NATO triple heavy target actually meant, LMAO!!


But you should remember all that, you were present right there. Heck, it was you who later advised me not to repeat the same once I had come back!!
