Now the future combat scenarios involve a much greater challenge and the proxies which are more correctly called as Non State Actors also form a part of these challenges. It most largely happened in Soviet Afghan war and US wars post 9/11. This philosophy had been long followed until when the proxy wars played by Militant Organisations came. The three sides of this philosophical triangle are firepower, mobility and protection. The design of MBTs had been based on the philosophy which is called IRON TRIANGLE. The Main Battle Tank is backbone of Mechanised Forces of an Army. Finally after evaluation the study observes that if the design of GNMBT would be a REVOLUTION then it would not just offer greater capabilities but also would be ideal for adapting it into a Universal Combat Platform. Based upon that the study fields both design considerations. Certain key parameters like weight, crew, armament system, survivability, operating range, transportability, tactical mobility, trafficability, system modularity, theatre operation and ISTAR ( Intelligence - Surveillance - Target Acquisition & Reconnaissance ) have been considered. For the designing purpose certain crucial parameters should be set based upon the definition of the configuration. A big threat is looming around as Chinese are claiming to be making next generation tanks in greater numbers whereease Pakistan is nearing Ukraine and is in process of acquiring T-84 Oplot M tanks which are considered one of the best tanks in the world but not mass produced due to economic issues of Ukraine.Ĭonsidering the future threat and combat scenarios the GNMBT design faces the difficult choice of being either an EVOLUTION or a REVOLUTION. They develop one of the best plans but many times when the plan is executed the produced outcome is already nearly outdated. We all have seen that Indians take a long time to plan.
