I think it’s crew training game.
Instead of real shots it uses laser to “hit” other crew’s tank at the laser sensor. I saw photo of the similar system on the Challenger 2

During the most recent Military Parade in Armenia. A lot of new vehicles were spotted. A significant portion of them are Indian
Pinaka MLRS: Armenia is supposed to have both the guided and non guided variants
MArG SPG
Akash LRSAM
TATA Alant: A domestic Armenian MLRS weapon mounted on a TATA truck
TATA Xenon GAM-102-LR: TATA Xenon with Chinese made GAM-102 ATGM’s
Armenian Xenons were also spotted with other weapons including domestic Armenian Mortars “Hrazdan” (88mm) and “Sevan” (120mm) and even robo dogos
Non Indian vehicles but can still be added
TOS-1A Burantino
Majid AD-08: Iranian built SAM system
Tor-2MK
Cannot be added but worth mentioning
Indian Built ATAGS & Trajan Howitizers
There were other vehicles present too though I won’t show them off since they weren’t interesting enough. I may show off some of the Drones but no promises

Armenia has a really diverse inventory

Especially considering that it was a more recent development. Before 2023, Armenia’s equipment was overwhelmingly Russian with some domestic kitbashing and some equipment from Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and to a lesser extent Greece. Now the overwhelming new equipment being Indian followed by legacy Russian equipment, French, Chines, and Iranian.

Not really an indication of a tree or anything larger, but it’s something, Arjun textures datamined by Gszabi.

Since this proposal was originally created, Gaijin has announced plans for a standalone Korean research tree. I think that decision also shows standalone nations with modern indigenous equipment are still being considered. India now has an even stronger case with continued progress on Tejas Mk1A, Zorawar, Prachand, and future programs like AMCA and FRCV. I hope this proposal remains under consideration.

I would assume this is where our resident Indian armour experts hangout. Don’t suppose anyone has ever seen a vehicle manual for the Vijayanta in Indian service?
smol QoL updates plus bump, more to come… Been rather busy with life lately…😅

I assume that Armenia can be sub tree of India
So i propose BMP-1 with ZSU-37-2 cannons as a spaa at rank 5 ( Armenian modification )
First pic is one of them in Azerbaijan captivity

Late Tier IV or early Tier V since the ability to use any ATGM’s was removed for that specific variant since it’s mounted where the Malyutka’s are placed.
There’s other SPAA options that can be added in Tier III or IV that can be slotted in such as the MT-LB with the M55 autocannons, the MT-LB with the S-60 cannon (sometimes also called the SU-57M), BTR-70 with a 23mm autocannon and if the elevation is high enough, the BMP-1 with the Gsh-30 autocannon

As much as 10.0+ looks pretty decent, much of it before (especially low ranks) is so copypasted i cant not wonder why.
Lower ranks are from before 1950s, and India gained independence only in 1947 before which it was part of the British Empire. So, obviously Indian systems would be copy of the British tree.
In my view, tech tree not only represents the vehicles operated/developed by a nation but also the journey that it has taken to reach where it is currently at. That’s why I support this current suggestion for Indian tree. I want to feel that journey which my nation has taken to reach where it is currently at.

And in my view, if thee exists with 50%+ copypaste, dont add it. At least skip till ranks where it becomes interesting. I dont want more copypaste that eats time and research points, and makes matches less and less unique

If you are going to add any of the MArG’s, make sure to use their Armenian designation “Mihr”
Also Armenia brought Indian made anti-drone systems. However I’m not sure what the Armenians implemented on. Armenia designated their Pinakas as “Shant” and their Akash as “Lusan”
