You know, the Indians can't decide what they're going to buy -- upgraded Arjun, T-90, T-72M1, all of the above, none of the above, a mobile flaming pisspot, or whatever. Most of their armor replacement programs have been going on for 20+ years, and they're still "testing the waters" and "soliciting candidates." They may even buy a few T-14s, just in their policy of seemingly testing every armor candidate that comes down the pike. The US, UK, French, Italians, etc, gave up on trying to get hard sales from them a long time ago. They've been stringing along the South Africans and Israelis for 30 years, and that's what they seem to be doing with the Russians now.
Maybe they're trying to get enough candidates together and make a mashup!
