US analysts believe ‘Pakistani operative’ was using MSF hospital for Taliban activity: AP WASHINGTON: Days before the October 3 United States (US) air attack on a hospital in Afghanistan, American special operations analysts were gathering intelligence on the facility ─ which they knew was a...

Even with these inflated numbers in the article the mbt2000 does not cost 5m. Al /khalids even with UKR engine and french optics would not cost any country 5m. I will try to find you better numbers in the morning.

Al Khalid does not cost $5m a piece. If so please share the approx cost detail.

If God is close to your jugular vein then any communication with him can be done in the comfort of where you are sitting at the moment. The All knowing, the All Seeing. So anything audible coming out of your mouth could seem such unintelligible form of communication which lots of people still...

The Merkava design seems to me as the best possible solution. Sloped, angled giving the best possible armor rating for a hit as well as minimum exposure to the turret ring.

She looks more like sania mirza than Nazia hassan. Just watching her now I cant believe she looked this good even 30 years ago. She was definitely from the future.

Fitting a new turret is not as easy as its made out to be. Especially with older designs. The Al Khalid is not a futuristic tank. It fulfills our requirements at the cost it is being produced and the threats we face where this tank will be required. Plus that T62 turret also does not seem to be...

Would you suggest fuel to be put in a dummy ship about to be blown up on camera? I do not see any technical advantages of having a secondary explosion if warhead details are required. Again I do not have information if other navies do it when they test weapons, in other words I have not seen...

There was secondary explosion from within the dummy ship. Someone else can give you details with more experience in that particular field.

Yes. Syrian "moderate" rebels are building TOW missiles in their basement. Their monthly stipend is coming from the FSA stock market. Nothing in this world works without money.

Yes. Knife ERA is being implemented but its not better protection from a single hit,, its better protection for multiple hits because the targeted area does not damage the neighboring blocks of armor. Any new tank shell or old ATGM can penetrate it. But you are correct, it is still a very good...

You can see how even the M1 export version have a secluded weapons hold. The Metis M ATGM pierced through the weapons hold and took it out immediately.The tank even when destroyed allowed the commander to exit the vehicle. Do not think the Gunner was that lucky. But this just shows that crew...

Had no idea about so many variants for the M1's. Also did not know they used M1A2's in 2003. Could you give any references which units had the A2's? I also think these extra armor package were all possible due to the extremely amazing engine fielded by the American tanks over the years. I also...

They rolled in with M1A1's into Fallujah and had very little trouble. They learned they were decades ahead of anything the world could throw at them and so they introduced the M1A2 to widen that gap. Who else has depleted uranium mesh-reinforced composite armor on their tanks in the world today?

Merkava 4 has more chances of a fight with an old rpg than an M1A2. It just depends on the battles they fight. If the M1A2 has to go through the streets to fight block by block and starts losing to well aimed rpg shots it too will evolve with chain balls. An ATGM does not fear chain balls too...

Its mostly to protect from an errant rpg shot detonating in the crevices or the ring of the tank and doing immense damage. The chains detonate the rpg and the tank survives taking only shrapnel damage.

The third upgrade, by far the most rigorous and effective, was first seen in late August, 2014. The consisted of the installment of additional armour on the T-72M1’s side skirts, glacis plate and around the turret, further reinforced by slat armour and metal chaines, also providing a 360 degree...

While these early upgrades were very rudimentary and varied between each tank, Syria has now implemented a nation-wide upgrade program for its precious T-72s. At least three major variants are known, which can be further divided into numerous subvariants. The first upgrade consists of several...
