Watch: Arjun Mk-1A, One Of World's Most Advanced Tanks, In Action

The Defence Acquisition Committee of the Defence Ministry today granted an 'Acceptance of Necessity', paving the way for the Army to acquire 118 Arjun Mk-1A tanks in a deal worth Rs. 8,400 crore. The final step before an order is placed is a meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security which is yet to be scheduled. When it does enter service within three years of a contract being signed, the Arjun Mk-1A will easily be one of the most advanced Main Battle tanks in the world, based on a series of features that its designers believe give it an edge over anything operated by the Pakistani Army.
