Vijayanta
The Vijayanta (en: "Victorious")[1] was a main battle tank built in India based on a licensed design of the Vickers Mk.1.[4] Production continued at the Heavy Vehicles Factory in Avadi until 1983 with 2,200 being built.[2] The overhauling of the fleet was discontinued from the year 1999–2000 as the withdrawal from service of the Vijayanta had already been approved.[6][7] A number of the tank hulls were converted to other uses such as self-propelled guns after being withdrawn from service.[9] Retired Vijayanta tanks have been used as static artillery, and utilized in engagements along the line of control during the 2019 Indo-Pakistani standoff.
