you can checkout the 2 alzarrar threads , in which the crew was not burnt alive , a testement to alzarrar protection suite-- regarding armour ive asked nabil to post in ak info pool thread as i need the data for answering people aswell! --- waiting for nabils input

Special emphasis was given to protect the tank from simultaneous RPG hits from various angles. The armor, initially developed with foreign assistance, was later modified and developed indigenously which can sustain many RPG hits. This was validated during 2001, 2004, 2006 trials. AK Armor is considered better than that if the t-80ud (K-5) ERA. Reason is the availability of various technologies from China, France, Korea, Ukraine etc. Current armor as fitted on AK-1 is atleast twice as more efficient as previous version also validated during trials and lighter too.
