indians do not even know how to copy!
They tried to copy the Russian T 90 in the Arjun MBT (Mark 1 and Mark 2). But they could succeed only partially and this resulted in a much heavier tank (the Arjun Mark II weighs 66 tons against the T 90s 40 tons).
The DRDO tried to compensate by increasing the thickness of the armour and this resulted in the tank's weight increasing to 66 tons. Besides lesser maouvreability on the field due to such a heavy weight, the Arjun also needs a much more powerful engine to match the T 90s speed and acceleration and this too remains an issue!
Due to these problems, the Indian army has been lukewarm to the Arjun and is going ahead with the purchase of hundreds of new T 90s!
Copying of high tech equipment also needs a lot of technical knowhow and in this, Indian establishments sure lag the Chinese by miles!
印度人甚至不懂得如何山寨。
他们试图山寨俄罗斯的T90坦克,结果造出来的阿琼MBT只是似是而非,重量比T90重了几个级别。阿琼试图增加防御钢板的厚度,结果整体重了66吨。这样做的后果是需要更为强大的引擎来驱动这个大怪物,速度和机动性比起T90也差了不少。
因为这些问题,印度军队最终放弃了这个怪物,转而购买了大量的T90.
山寨也是门技术,也需要知识和本事。印度在这方面落后中国太多太多。
