This is not about any hindu-times this is about wikipedia and the official indian government press relaese and the official DRDO website.
And that is the same wikipedia that you have quoted to mirza on his other thread.
Your claim that India does not have any freedom of press as you go on to claim is nothing short of idiocy. India have a much more free press imo than the US press if not an as free press. Infact freedom of press has been given sanction in India's constitution. Just because china have a state controlled media that misinforms its people and spills propaganda and you are jelous of India's free media doesnt mean that you can spill your nonsensical rubbish about India.
And the Lavi and the J-10 is an open secret the world over. And what point are you trying to make by saying that if i accept that Israel have not involved in the Lavi programme you will say that the Kanchan is good armour ?? ...well let me tell you that Israel have officially acknowledged that they supplied the Lavi's technologies to China for its J-10.
Read this :
David Lari, director general of Israel's Ministry of Defense, acknowledged in an Associated Press interview that "some technology on aircraft" had been sold to China and that some Israeli companies may not have "clean hands".

If asking me to say that the J-10 is not based on the Lavi is the sole purpose of your making silly excuses to pursue a needless argument, then i must admit that you have disappointed me and you disgust me.
And even the data in the tripod homepage that you repeatedly post implies that the Arjun's armour is one of the best. Those fogures give the extent to which a bullet penitrates into a tank. Now those figures happen to be on of the lowest for the Arjun. That means that identical bullets fired from the same range will penitrate less into an Arjun (& M1A1) than any other tank. This clearly implies that the Arjun's armour-the layer that stops the bullets from penitratiang into the tank works far more effectively than any other tank (like the Type-98) . That implies that the Arjun's Kanchan armour is one of the best out there.
Understand one thing : The less a bullet penitrates into a tank, the more effective its armour is.
go check out the list yourself >> members.tripod.com...
And since you follow the data on that site, here is something for you from the same place :
Indian 120mm bullets penitrate tungsten 650mm at 2km
Chinese 120mm bullets penitrate tungsten 550mm at 2km
And i must recall Daedalus's signature : [size=6]Never challenge an idiot to an argument. They'll pull you down to their level and beat you with experience..[/size] and rest my case. You can go on and on and on saying that you accept wikipedia for all articles except those that say good things about India or you can say that you will discard all the good & true things written be the Indian media and accept only the ones that say bad things about India. The bottomline is that none of your ignorant baseless and shameless posts will change anything about the Kanchan armour...but nice try though.
