I don't think so , Both tank is based on T -72 platforms. T-90MS and T-84 M.I also heard in a TV program that Oplot M is very good for cold condition but it will be failure in hot conditions as it is not built for those conditions
During Ukraine crisis some western media was talking about engagement of Ukrainian Oplot-M equipped units Vs Russian Armor and it was said that earlier one got beaten in battle due to unknown reasons, is it true??
The difference is who will make the better Armour. Most of Western Media is a part of information warfare.
T-90 initially was failed but later modified to meet Indian hot condition requirement, San A/c it heated up the equipment in hot conditions , but after A/c was fitted it working perfectly.The irony is that the AK-1 performed better than the OPLOT M and MBT 3000 in almost all comparative trials. They need something better than that but there seems nothing in sight. I tell u the 90MS will fail so miserably its not even funny. It has serious flaws in engine transmission and FCS system is pretty average at best. It even lacks a proper hunter killer system.
the reason Arjun defeated the T-90 /T84 M / T-72 etc, T-series cant shoot the target while on the moving , Arjun is designed to destroyed the moving target while on the high speed also.
But what the use , IA said 50 T Arjun is too heavy for equipment's to carry and for plains and channels across Punjab field.As already posted by me, IMO only reason could be the price.
Understand Al-Khalid II would cost about $5-million. If we can get T-84 Oplot M for about $3.5-million per unit with similar capability; an Armoured Div with about 300 tanks results in saving out about $450-million. Lot of bucks for a cash starved country. I can't come up with any other logical explanation.
that's why they field Arjun only in Raj sector, why PAK is going to 50 + ton tank then?
