At a meeting later this week, the Defense Ministry will talk about an important Army plan to build light tanks that can be used along the border with China.
The Indian Army has given details about its new light tank, which has been given the name “Zorawar.”
The tank is named after the famous general who won many battles in Tibet, which is now controlled by the Chinese Army.
Army officials said that light tanks are needed to make up for the weaknesses of medium battle tanks and to prepare the Indian Army for any situation in High Altitude Area (HAA), marginal terrain, and island territories, as well as in plains, semi-deserts, and deserts.
The Indian Army had to send a lot of T-72 and T-90 tanks into operational areas. This gave them a tactical advantage over their opponents and put them on the defensive.
“However, the tanks were mostly made for operations in plains and deserts, and they had their own problems when they were used in high altitude areas. “They have the same problem when they work in the rough terrain of Rann of Kutch,” a government official said.
