Tanks still have significant importance? From what we have seen from the Ukraine-Russia war, they are vulnerable to drones, loitering munitions, and other cheap yet effective aerial ones, right?

Tests of the Russian T-90S tank in India in 1999. Archival footage of the Russian Uralvagonzavod. Tests on May 17, 1999 in India of the Russian T-90S tank. It was a difficult time for the plant at that time; one might say that the contract with India saved the plant. In 1997, India showed interest in the T-90S tank. But India needed a tank with a 1000-horsepower engine and a thermal imaging sight. At that time, the Russian tank did not have the required characteristics, but the adaptation of the tank and the revival of production took place in the shortest possible time at Uralvagonzavod. Tests were carried out in the Thar desert, each tank traveled more than 2000 kilometers. The V-92S2 "ChTZ-Uraltrak" diesel engine demonstrated phenomenal endurance. The tests were completed successfully. In the early 2000s, 124 tanks went to India in finished form and another 186 in the form of vehicle kits. And in 2004, the first Indian-assembled T-90S tank was released.

That is most illogical analogy I've come across in recent times

Here it is, the Zorawar light tank:

Seems it comes with a modified John Cockerill 105mm turret:

Looks decent. Any details on the sensor suite and fire control system? Are those indeginous?

India has unveiled a prototype of the new light tank Zorawar, it is designed in accordance with the requirements of the Indian Army for high-altitude areas. The developer of the tank was the Defense Research and Development Organization and Larsen and Toubro. The tank was created as a response to the Chinese Type 15 (ZTQ-15) light tanks deployed on the border with India. Previously, India considered the possibility of purchasing the Russian Sprut-SDM1 light tank, more about it in the link to the video in the comments to the video, but in the end it decided to develop its own tank. Reportedly, the experience of the conflict in Ukraine was taken into account when developing the tank. The tank weighs only 25 tons, which allows it to operate in difficult mountainous terrain. The armament of the Zorawar tank consists of a Cockerill 3105 combat module with a 105 mm cannon from the Belgian company John Cockerill and a 12.7 mm machine gun. It is alleged that modular armor is used as protection, as well as active protection systems. The hull of the K-9 Vajra self-propelled gun may be used as a base for the tank. The Indian Army has already placed an order for 59 Zorawar tanks, and plans to purchase a total of 354 light tanks in the future.

That's exciting news about India investing in software-defined radios for their tanks using Elbit's tech. Considering how versatile and advanced software-defined radios can be, it sounds like a smart move. They'll probably get some impressive improvements in communication and operational flexibility. I’ve heard that these radios can enhance the effectiveness of military equipment. If you’re curious to dive deeper into this kind of tech or even explore some options yourself, Radio Warehouse has a lot of cool stuff. I just thought I’d share that. It's always exciting to see advancements like this!
