The Best That Never Was 2 (Prototypes)

[Vespers War]

One possible entry into a Twilight War scenario would have been India's Karna tank (also known as Tank EX). Developed as a private endeavor late in the development cycle for the Arjun, which was in development from 1986 until the early 2000s, it took the Arjun's turret and fitted it onto India's existing T-72M1 Ajeya hulls. It was developed in 2002 as an attempt to find more use for the Ajeya, and eight prototypes were built. No work on them was done after a six month testing period, and they were officially rejected in the same 2008 announcement that ended Arjun production. In the Twilight War, they may enter limited production if more Arjun turrets than hulls can be produced, in order to have tanks with more modern optics
