As they told us in 2012. We all remember what happened then, don't we? :)

Riiiiiiight. And we all remember how India was routed in '71 against Pakistan don't we? :-)

By large, maybe 2000-3000 rounds and perhaps 300 launchers.

The vehicle is protected against IED's, and it is not armored enough to take on RPGs. I would think that the Taliban has RPGs in large numbers, considering all the news we've had so far of them in the region.

I wasn't saying anything about the design. Finally it is the Pakistani security forces who have to decide, not armchair generals like you or me. As long as it offers decent mine protection, it works. Or broadly, as long as it runs, it works. As the vehicle is intended for anti-insurgency...

"Ugliness" doesn't matter as long as it works. If militaries adopted weapons based on beauty, then aircraft like A-10, which is devastatingly effective, would never have been adopted.

This is Nirbhay. This is Tomahawk. A baby could see that the design is totally different.

How is it biased? And, while Pakistan could've gotten the gun, there is very little chance of obtaining M829A3 or DM53/63 through any non-shady means. And that means I still have a point. P.S. Nice market 8-)

What I mean to say is, at a range like that, the round would have slowed down by upto 300 m/s, not drastic, but it reduces penetration by more than a bit. This has been said before. The best 120 and 125 mm rounds available for Pakistani and Chinese testing would be: 120 mm: At best, KEW-A1...

The tank should be able to see upto that range, but while firing, aiming at any specific spot is futile (shot is off by a few meters), and penetration is reduced enough to make high-quality APFSDS rounds ineffective against strong armour of modern tanks. Really, though, just because Al-Khalid...

I would've wet my pants at something like that when I was 8. Even now I would run away if I saw fire. I hate myself. Remarkable bravery from the littlest brave man I have heard of. May people never forget his actions. That is the greatest service we can do. Rest in Peace.

How is it controlled? By remote or are there people underground :what:

I meant that the tank was originally based on the Type-90 and that Chinese engineers worked on it initially. I have never claimed that the current Al-Khalid has Chinese sub-systems or design.

Al-Khalid is a tank that was originally based on the Type 90, with some differences. Chinese designers worked on the project

Everyone has the same opinion. But DRDO will file lawsuit etc. and create problems. Export license is no problem, US is already exporting KE-W A2 freely, even Russia is said to have some for testing (probably given by Egypt, but who cares ;) ) DRDO is in the process of developing a 120 mm...

Manual loading ;) Autoloader doesn't matter at that time. Gun and autoloader are separate.

@Manticore @Dazzler @alimobin memon @AUSTERLITZ KE-W A3 penetrator length: Old KE-W A2 and KE-W A3 share the same penetrator, but propellant in KE-W A3 is more efficient and propels the penetrator faster. Muzzle Energy of the penetrator alone is 11.6 MJ :what: The penetration of KE-W A2...

No. Al-Khalid does not have BO panels. It's not like it needs one. AZ autoloader is hard to hit. Cast turrets are directly cast in steel moulds, they are generally weaker, provide lesser protection and are harder to use with composite modules. Welded turrets are made by welding rolled steel...

Yes. And it is bolted. Just like the one shown. Have you seen how an external ammunition box looks like? That is a blow-off panel, which is supposed to be above ammunition. Fact. I don't care whether you accept it or not. I do accept it. I have regularly stated that I would have rejected...

Those are BO Panels. I don't consider myself dominant, nor am I trolling. Please present these accurate details, if you can.
