On what basis are you saying this?Plus they come factory ready for battlefield management system unlike our AFVs which have so many extra panels and monitors fitted without any integration whatsoever that you feel like youre driving a jugaad space shuttle cross with a simulation rig (this is a problem not unique to us, even the US army suffers from feature creep without optimisation of existing resources)
then make a new indigenous turret and import a foreign one as a stopgap. Why import stryker instead of inducting WHAP when it has no problem?What my understanding from reading between the lines is while from a hull and armour point of view, the WHaP is an excellent platform, its lethality with existing offerings of turrets leaves much to be desired.
we already have this capability from arjun program and namica program please educate yourself. Besides if indigenous sensors were not adequate then import sensors as stopgap.Especially when it comes to sensors and smart usage of said sensors, optical tracking of targets, locking onto small drones, passive scanning, etc etc. Wont go into details here, but these are key areas where Indian MIC is working towards, but will take some time to catch up.
Eh ? Experience. Seeing it first hand with Zorawar right now arent we?On what basis are you saying this?
what kind of experience? what's the problem with zorawar? it hasn't even completed developmental trials.Eh ? Experience. Seeing it first hand with Zorawar right now arent we?
We can also use John Cockerill turrets, which zorawar uses, to have a 105 mm version of WHAP, least to mention the other varients of that turret. Cockerill turrets are modular and can be swapped/reused based on mission profile...Tata Advanced Systems

Stryker has an additional problem. Driver and Navigator/Radio operator has to rely on Screens now and they sit tandemly. Why? If we skip marketing gibberish - you need to place battery it's cooling system and motor somewhere.Stryker mat dekho. StrykerX dekho. But saara picture hi confused hai. What i have heard and understood is that Stryker X and AbramsX are on the table.
Both platforms are evolutions of the existing afvs, (though AbramsX in my opinion is an entirely new tank)
what both bring key tech is hybrid electric diesel propulsion - which as you all are aware, is excellent for low signature alongside mobility improvements.

Neither pmo, mod or army has said anything. It's just retarded sellout journalists kanging.View attachment 1842
we are alrready making new turrets but why import stryker can only be answered by our dear govt pmo mod and army
maybe maybe not but stryker is pushed by army at least we can get that from the photos released and allNeither pmo, mod or army has said anything. It's just retarded sellout journalists kanging.
No mate its govt driven. If they wanted they would have put foot down like LCA.maybe maybe not but stryker is pushed by army at least we can get that from the photos released and all
The turret, fcs and sensor suite is all imported. The chassis is a development of K21.what kind of experience? what's the problem with zorawar? it hasn't even completed developmental trials.
aint it modified abhay chassis ?The turret, fcs and sensor suite is all imported. The chassis is a development of K21.
I'm not saying that's wrong but the refinement that you're saying from the Zorawar is directly a result of decades of refinement that comes from OEMs who have been doing it form decades.
The problem with India is we have not done our homework and haven't supported our MIC apart from the Navy.
And the results are for everyone to see.
USMIC se import karke Stryker agar L&T ke tarah WHAP MK2 khada ho sakta hai toh let it be
Tracks ko dekho bhai. k21 hi hai base mai.aint it modified abhay chassis ?

Turret is designed by drdo. Tot from koreans has helped L&T in k9 and building infrastructure to mass produce k9s and now zorawar.Tracks ko dekho bhai. k21 hi hai base mai.
It's logical. L&T built an entire factory to make AFVs with ToT from the koreans. Of course they'd leverage that.
The engine is the exact same Cummins as the K21.
