Right now let's say the T-72 has a cross country speed of 35-46mph vs the Al-Khalid's 38mph. Since the T-72 upgrade would provide night vision, and significant electronic upgrades. I believe the electronics and weapon suite would be better for us, cause we could get it from Russia, and Israel. Russia is master of these tanks, they know the T-series inside out, and Israel is pretty good in upgrading these tanks too. I didn't include China cause they keep on making tanks that are basically the T-72, in my opinion its called failure. You don't need a T-80,84,90,98,99 to take on a T-72. Since the T-72 will be upgraded at the level of the T-90S. Take a look at this...T-72

The T-90S has max speed of 50mph, and is superior to the Al-Khalid in any way. This means the upgrade T-72S will equal the T-90S, and also there is a possibility of getting 1000 T-90S. The only thing not initiating this deal is the Arjun, its a good tank but the Army loves it but its a little pricey. If the Arjun is selected, we have a definitive advantage, if not then we still have an edge over Pakistan. Quit the dreaming folks we all know that the T-90S can defeat any T-80UD which is Pakistan's best tank. Here's the specs on the Arjun...T-90S

Some right see that the T-80U is a little more faster then the T-90S but the T-90S has a better weapons suite. Plus I don't believe Pakistan won't be getitng all the features cause Russia won't transfer that to them.T-80U
