The question is which tank will give better results in a possible war???

 

[Red aRRow]

Not a huge difference between the two but looks like the Al-Khalid has the qualitative edge. But I bet Indians are gonna dispute the point. :nonsense

 

[Oqaab]

First we all have to remember that Indians brought T-90s to counter our T-80UD tanks. They believe that their upgraded T-72s are enough for Al-Khalids.

 

[Red aRRow]

Pakistan's indigenous heavy industries are one of the best in the region to say the least with the exception of China. Al Khalid is more than a match for whatever India has. :smokingc:

 

[Oqaab]

Any reasons ????? :? :?

 

[Red aRRow]

Oqaab just look at the results. I mean Pakistan has the Al-Khalid, Al-Zarrar upgrade, Al-Talha, Saad etc etc etc. under its belt while India is still working on the Arjun.

 

[Oqaab]

shamayel,

I was talking about Al-Khalid's performance, not of HIT.

 

[nqbaig]

Well, Machine is dependent on its operator and Pakistanis having edge over Indians on that.
Pakistan Zindabad

 

[Oqaab]

Pakistan also has a technical edge Indian army anyways.

The only difference I see in these tanks is that T-90 has the capability of staying away from ATGMs.

 

[umair]

Idea ! :idea2 increase the AL- Khalid's frontal armour (any good sabot round could peneterate what it has).Should we look towards developin atop attack guided round similar to the STAFF round developed by the US as it will give us an advantage in tackling dug in armour as well as low flying choppers.(The STAFF has an infrared homing head which increases it's chances of hitting dug in armour & since it's atop attack round it will hit the targets on their heads where armour is almost non existant.The homing head & a high muzzle velocity would in an engagement with choppers make it a tank launched heat seeking sam, thereby increasin the tank's selfe defence capability against choppers.)Also the autoloader should be taken out and a loader included in the crew.This cause of the fact that Ammo of the type loaded in the auto loader cannot be changed untill the round in the breech has been expended this could mean in battle a sabot round may have tobe fired at a bunker before the requisite HE or HEAT round thereby wastin good ammo. :smokingc:

 

[artilleryfire]

Al-Khalid is worthy than T-90.

 

[umair]

In order to get realy accurate info about the Al-Khalid I suggest visiting this site:

[/url]www.pakistanidefence.com
(Someone I know in the army told me that this site has the most accurate specs regarding the Al-Khalid)
PS Irealy think that this tank could use a bit more frontal armour and an IVIS in it's electronics suite.[/list][/list]

 

[attackistan]

whys it named "Al-khalid"

 

[Red aRRow]

The Al-Khalid is named after the great Muslim general Khalid-bin-Waleed who never lost a battle and used to say "My army loves death as much as your army loves life."

 

[Mujahid]

yes khalid-bin-waleed was indeed a great person.


There are only 2 generals in history that remained undefeated - Khalid Bin Waleed and ghengis khan.


wasalam,

Mujahid :cop

 

[Oqaab]

Lets get back to the topic guys.

I would like to see an upgraded version of Al-khalid with Shotra-1 system installed and lighter weight which will make it more manoverable !!!

 

[artilleryfire]

Al-khalid is worthy than T-90 because Al-Khalid can stay in severe desert conditions with 100% performance where T-90 simply not.

 

[Red aRRow]

I agree with umair on the fact that the frontal armour needs to be increased little bit. But will it impede performance by adding too much weight?? or will the Ukrainian engine be able to handle it?? :?

 

[corsair7772]

I think the Ukranian engine can handle it but wat the al-khalid cant give up is its maneuvearability and technology so i say no 2 more armour cuz i think its enuff and a tanks gotta die when it has 2

 

[AnonymousDoe]

T-90 are nothing. I don't even know why its called a tank, since the armor on the tank is about 100mm.
