The Indian Army, with 12 lakh personnel, is gearing up to upgrade its tanks and introduce new ones, in response to reports on tank vulnerabilities. Senior officers attribute the heavy losses of Russian tanks in Ukraine to poor tactics, highlighting the need for combined-arms operations. A mega project worth Rs 57,000 crores aims to produce 1,770 Future Ready Combat Vehicles (FRCVs) to replace old T-72 tanks, starting in 2030. These FRCVs will feature advanced technologies like AI, drone integration, and active protection systems.
