India’s own tank Zorawar is coming… It will be the end of China! Know its features


New Delhi : Amid the border dispute with China, India is developing indigenous tanks. India has crossed an important milestone in the construction of the light weight tank Zoravar. The indigenous tank Zoravar is considered very important for the high altitude areas of Ladakh. With the inclusion of Zoravar in the army, India’s position against China will look stronger. This tank can run at a higher speed in mountainous areas.

Why is Zoravar special?

Learning lessons from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, DRDO has integrated USV for moving weapons in the Zorawar tank. The light tank Zorawar weighs 25 tonnes. This is the first time that a new tank has been designed and prepared for testing in such a short time. The special thing about the Zorawar tank is its combination of weight as well as the basic parameters of a tank. This tank has fire, strength, mobility and protection.

It is indeed an important day for all of us to see the light tank in action. It makes me happy and proud. It is truly an example. In a short span of two to two and a half years, we have not only designed this tank but also built its first prototype. Zoravar is expected to be inducted into the Indian Army by the year 2027 after all the tests.

The Indian Air Force can supply two tanks at a time in a C-17 class transport aircraft as this tank is light and can be driven at high speed in mountain valleys. The tests are expected to be completed in the next 12-18 months and ready for induction.

The world is working on light tanks

Rajesh Kumar, director of DRDO Tank Lab, said that there are generally three different types of tanks. There are three categories based on weight. Heavy tanks, medium tanks and light tanks. Each one has its own role. One is for defense, one is for attack. These light tanks play a mixed role for both. So if you see a light tank, many players in the world are making light tanks. There are Western tanks, there are Russian tanks, there are Chinese tanks.
