Vijayanta – The victorious warrior: specifications, evolution of variants, and unforgettable operations
India's first home-grown main battle tank, the Vijayanta, was a turning point in the country's military history. Its manufacturing moved to India in 1965 after it evolved from a Vickers Mk.1 derivative. It was crucial to the 1971 Indo-Pak war and had a 105mm cannon. Its flexibility is demonstrated in a variety of post-retirement jobs and variations, even with phased retirement.
