According to a report by HT, information given by DRDO said that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh also watched the testing live online and praised the tank after seeing its strength. It is said to be one of the most dangerous weapons in the Indian Army’s arsenal. It may take 12 to 18 months for the army to complete its testing in the field. After conducting several tests in the next 6 months, it will be handed over to the army for trial. If the tank is successful in the test, it will be officially inducted into the Indian Army. At the same time, this tank can be deployed in the high altitude areas of Ladakh. A fund of Rs 17500 crore has been released by the Ministry of Defense to build more than 300 heavy tanks.
