Arjun tank inducted, T-55 retiring
India’s indigenous Arjun main battle tank (MBT) was recently inducted into the Indian Army’s 75th Armored Regiment. The induction was at a military base in Jaisalmer on the occasion of the 39th anniversary of the 75th Armored Regiment.
Lt. Gen. A. K. Singh, Commander-in-chief of the Southern Command, inducted the tank. With this induction, the Russian T-55 tanks will be retired. An advanced Arjun version, the Mark II, will roll out in 2014. In May 2010, the army placed another order for 124 of the units after its original order for the same number.
The Arjun is made by Heavy Vehicles Factory at Avadi. The tank measures just less than 33 feet long and 12 feet wide and weighs around 58 tons. An MTU 838 Ka 501 1,400 horsepower diesel engine gives it an operational range of 280 miles with a speed of 45 mph on roads and 25 mph cross-country.
