A Heavey Battle Tank for the Pakistan Army (T99 OPTION)

[arcane]

so you mean that lighter tanks are useless against heavier tanks

i dont want to go further in detail bt to tell you that

your mk2 of arjun which is to be mass produced is still 4 years away means 2015.

and we are developing al khalid II...which include 1500hp engine as main upgrade.and you might have also heared that over powered engine can be disastoruos to the tank e.g the racks can be seperated with over speed.

so to keep a balance ratio with 1500hp engine the weight of the al khalid II will increase atleast to 55-57tons.which is more than enough

the current weight of al khalid is 48 ton and the al khalid I which is more than 50% upgraded basic al khalid..will weight even more though the weight of al khalid I is still not known only the specs and the upgrade are

so we are developing a al khalid II with modified turret like type 99 one,1500 engine,indegenous aps and indegenous more components e.g a indegenous main gun which is also in use in the al khalid I

and about your arjun...sorry no offence bt your arjun is already rejected by your army and your army accepted the t-90(which means the t-90 is ebtter than the arjun for sure beside its light weight)and the al khalid I is definately better than your any variant of t-90(note i said the al khalid I)

and one more thing your development are prone to delays and we are always ahead than schedule

so mark the induction date of arjun mk2 from 2015 -2017-18.and for al khalid II max 2015.

the al khalid II will be a new tank with only old name..
so i think ebtter think about your tanks upgradation and procurements plan than ours

thanks

your post reflects a very poor knowledge...first of all, arjun was not rejected by the army, in fact, in trials conducted in june, the arjun proved itself to be a better tank than t90, check for yourself...U claim that al-khalid II will be ready by 2015, yet there is no news of it on this forum and there is a lot of news about arjun...also al-khalid was a JV with china don't say its indigenious, and about your claim that pakistani equipment is inducted before deadline, tell me a single weapon that pakistan has developed all by itself..making fat claims on this forum is very easy, isn't it?

also let me add to this that

your army rejected arjun and accepted t-90 this means t-90 is better than arjun

and al khalid I is ebtter than your t-90 bhisma..so in return the al khalid I is better than your arjun

also i heard that the al khalid II process is still slow only ebcause india dont have any tank in their inventory better than al khalid I.when the enemy get better the al khalid II development will be made speedy..


just a overview of al khalid I from the wiki

Al-Khalid I – Upgraded variant in testing as of April 2009. Ammunition capacity increased to 49 125 mm rounds, 1,500 12.7 mm rounds and 7,100 7.62 mm rounds.[1] Incorporates modifications made to the fire-control system, sensors, IBMS, side-skirts, track pads, auto-loader (rate of fire increased to 9 rounds per minute), Ukrainian Varta electro-optical jammer (disrupts laser rangefinders, laser designators and anti-tank guided missile tracking systems), Sagem third-generation thermal imagers and improved air conditioning system.[3][31]

a much detailed post by nabil about the upgrade of al khalid I is on pdf..search yourself

On August 17, 1988, General Zia and five of his generals visited a test site to observe a demonstration of the M1 Abrams main battle tank, which the US was trying to persuade Pakistan to buy.
