India's 25-tonne light tank fires with consistent accuracy at 4,200 metres height

The indigenous Indian Light Tank (ILT) highly versatile 25-tonne class armoured fighting vehicle has been developed to boost the Army's combat capabilities along the frontier with China. The Indian Air Force has already shown that the tank can be airlifted and deployed at locations that are difficult to access through road or rail. The Indian Army is looking to deploy over 350 light tanks, mostly in the mountainous border areas.
