Yes I did. For about 10 to 15 minutes. They don't allow pics to be taken inside so couldnt take one.

Do you know if they have modified the auto loader at all from the Russian design found on the T-80 series.

Didn't ask. & the Al-Khalid I set in was early version + plus I have never seen Russian Auto Loader so can't tell there difference or any changes.

However, there is an upgrade version of Al-Khalid on trials these days, called Al-Khalid-I. Several upgrades & modifications have been made. Auto loader may have been modified or modernized in Ak-1.

Ah - it was at least worth a try thanks for the information, it will be interesting to see what modifications will be done and for what purpose.
