Japan and South Korea have become puppets of United States so much that many Koreans have started accepting Christianity, leaving Buddhism. Criticizing India, influenced by Western media, has become fashionable in South Korea. While South Korea is rich and prosperous, economic success is not the only goal for a nation. If they choose to be an extension of the USA, so be it. However, if they wish to have independent relations with India or for that matter even China, they need to assert their independence from the USA.

The development of the Arjun Tank took 40 years, but the Zorawar Tank was completed in just 2 years. This is because the lessons learned during the 40-year development of the Arjun Tank were applied to the Zorawar Tank, meaning India was not starting from scratch as it did with the Arjun. Similarly, while the development of the Tejas MK1 took 40 years, the Tejas MK2 is expected to take only 2-3 years.

not only to defend itself from drones and neutralize them

I am unfamiliar with the development of armored vehicles, but I consider myself to not be stupid.
Am I correct in understanding that the Zorawar will be relying on the machine gun mounted on the top of the turret to "defend itself from drones"? What separates the Zorawar's machine gun from the machine gun of say the T-72 (which we have seen does not perform that well against drones)?

I don't know about the machine gun on the T-72, but the machine gun on Zorawar is AI-controlled. It detects the target and fires automatically; it's not manually operated.

Is this function a known function that has been prototyped, or a hypothetical possibility that would be nice to add onto the machine gun? It looks to me that the trigger is fully exposed to a gunner who can pop out of the hatch behind it and is therefore aimed for human use.
