Al-Khalid tank (Type 90-IIM / MBT-2000) Information Pool

Hi,

Where do the current Al-Khalid numbers stand?

Also, we have seen many IR sensors on tanks, and we can see their optics/lenses. How do you protect these? Like if a rocket hit that, it would be blown up? So you will lose your laser system right?

Just like if destroy your antenna, no more communications.

Current AK/ AK1 number is a closely guarded secret but last i heard, they were more than 400. Modern MBT sensors are protected by laser and infrared threat detectors/ sensors and laser shot counters that tell the mbt crew of where and when the mbt is/ was/ being lased. There are other measures that are a part of incoming threat detection but i cannot comment on them.

Hi,

No i meant, what protection is offered to these sensors? Like they are exposed on the tank, right? So for example, the laser range finder needs it's laser/lenses pointed somewhere, but how do you protect these sensors themselves? Like is the glass bullet proof???

What if Type-96 can accomadate all new generation equipments with some compromise..? And moreover if check BD's procurement of tanks, they never wanted a heavy tank.

By the way two weeks back Norinco unveiled brand new Type-96, with true 3rd generation capabilities.

Tanks for integral Infantry Divisions would have to be medium weight tanks because of our terrain. However, MBT-2000s are for cross border offensive ops. The terrain just across our border can take heavy armor.

little offtopic but it is interesting, South Sudanese type 96 destroyed Sudanese t-72s....even the turret is blown up!

Vision blocks are made up of bullet proof glass, and are laser and IR protected, part of the mbt integrated self protection system. (AK series),
