Arjun (tank) - FMBT

FMBT

The Arjun MKII variant is to be followed by the Futuristic Main Battle Tank (FMBT), which started development in 2010. The Indian Army plans to induct the FMBT from 2020 onwards. The FMBT will be a lighter tank of 50 tons. Subsequently, reports have indicated that the Indian Army has shelved the plan of FMBT, as there is no significant development in this field in the last few years which makes the development of an entirely new design unrealistic. Rather, they will plan the development of subsequent upgraded versions like Mk-III, Mk-IV etc like most international tank manufacturers.
