Hi, not to get personal, but are you an expert in tank design? You seem to be great at critiquing stuff. Is your background engineering, more specifically in armoured vehicle design?
I have visited Taxila and the tank rebuilding plant; Pakistan builds the best stuff, within what its limited resouces allow it to.
MBT 3000 is an improved variant of mbt 2000's export variant VT1-A ... I think you didn't got my point. Incorporating ERA on tank is an extra bricks to provide excellent protection but if whole tank is equipped with ERA it sometimes gets dangerous at the rear especially because it reacts with an blast in opposite direction of coming projectile even if projectile is not powerful it will react with ERA . at the other hand Tandem round like RPG 29 they have two stages to work. First stage destroy's ERA as ERA one's reacted ,that era brick gets weakened, the other stage of RPG 29 tandem round penetrates the primary armour, so for example M1A2 tank firing tandem on T-72 fully ERA protected is useless cause first stage of M1 tank will destroy which is weak part of round . The second stage wipes the tanks ASSSS . So I am saying is all tanks have ERA on their whole body in almost top 12 militaries, Real protection is whether alkhalid, Arjun or others have a good main armour inside so that it can withstand the round of tandem... FYI Alkhalid has a good main armour.
