"A lie told often enough becomes the truth." - Vladimir Lenin

An article on @TheNatlInterest by @KyleMizokami was published 3 times since 2017 as a targeted smear campaign against @DRDO_India's Arjun MBT

Let me try and piece this together in a series of tweets
The article in question is a crude attempt at a 1000 word school essay on the Arjun MBT by @KyleMizokami which has been published thrice since April 2017.The links are shared below for verification

The article was first published on 26th April 2017 with an encore on 09th Sept 2019 and finally on 06th Dec 2019 (Mark this date)

Incidentally when the article was first published on 26th April 2017 , it had a footnote stating that this article first appeared in November 2016 !
Just 2 days later on 08th December 2019 , @Krish_TNIE from @IndianExpress published a very encouraging piece on the completion of field trials of the Arjun MK1A and its impending serial production

8 Hrs later , @rwac48 a decorated General quoted the @TheNatlInterest piece dated 06th Dec 2019 and declared the Arjun MBT a "disaster" despite successful field trials of the Arjun Mk1A. This leads us to question :

"At what point should a series of coincidences be examined?"
The General's tweet underlines the consistent step- motherly treatment meted out to the Arjun MBT over the last 2 decades despite it being a generation ahead of the Russian T-90S and T-90SK

This 2014 article in @thetribunechd lays it threadbare

The Arjun MBT is the culmination of decades of hard work , sacrifice and the never say die spirit of our scientists and local industry.For it to succeed we must identify and call out the "Enemies Within"
