What happened
Shiv Aroor and Vishnu Som hosted an episode of CtrlAltDefence on October 17, 2026. During the broadcast, retired Lieutenant General Karanbir Singh Brar discussed the evolution of the Indian Army’s High Altitude Tank System (HATS) concept into the Zorawar light tank. The tank's requirements were influenced by the confrontation with China in 2020.

Why it matters
The discussion detailed how the Indian Army moved beyond simply adapting an existing light tank design. Instead, the Army specified requirements dictated by high-altitude operations, recognizing that low pressure and cold conditions impair standard equipment performance.
