Indian Army Armored Vehicles

The scenario is countering Chinese tanks in high altitude battlefields.

Convince me how a single Zorawar LT is better than having four Mahindra ALSV, each armed with 16 long range ATGMs.
 
I always wonder, why are these vehicles in desert camo up in the mountains where they dont blend!!
I feel the same, desert tan color scheme can satisfy requirements of the Western Borders and Ladakh sectors while olive green in Kashmir and North East. An effective digital pattern camo is enough to blend in most of the areas.

Something like this

Exactly. Unless they blend in, in an active conflict they will stand out like sore thumbs for drones to pick them off one by one.

LoL you're expecting too much from gernails who were A ok with orange fibre on insas and ragtag militia uniform and blue adidas bags with white snow shoes on black pants !
 
I don't think this is true. What I think is that this is one of the Nothingburger news find daily. There are usually shit ton of agreements signed and only few materialize. Tata IFV may even be just a negotiating tactic thing against another vendor.
this was announced by the government of Morocco itself.

Everyone ignored this message as if it's a smoothbore gun on an Arjun.
Anyways, with heavy heart a different question this time

1. Is this cutaway of Zorawar LT legit?

2. And if yes, then are those freaking ammunition stowed besides the driver in the hull!?

Can Mahindra ASLV swim. Also it's armour protection is too low for such combat scenarios where one can face 105-155 shells or 20-30mm etc equipped IFV.

Your argument devolves into whats better at anti tank - a gun or missiles.

I would say the following points:
1. tanks do not operate alone, so when youre saying 1 tank or 4 ATGM carrying ASLVs, it doesnt compute.
At the minimum its a platoon of 4 tanks, but 99% of the time, the smallest unit of tanks to be deployed is a company of 16 tanks.

2. Gun armed tanks are better at anti tank duties - APFSDS rounds are cheaper than missiles, are faster and harded to beat than ATGMs, and tanks carry far more rounds.

3. The armour, survivability of a light tank platoon fighting from a prepared keyhole position surpasses ATGM carrying ASLVs by leagues.

4. The Zorawar carries 2 Loitering Munitions with reloads just in case it has to deal with a non LOS or an aerial threat.
