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

Who can explain to me. Why Pakistan buys tanks Mk.1 Al-Khalid tank engines in Ukraine, but not in China. What is the reason?

Ukrainian engines are much more efficient in my opinion and are more powerful mate

Thanks for the reply. Good. There are all the same data as the entire Al Khalid tanks Mk.1 Pakistan has already made?

Around 70% of the tank is made inhouse while rest is imported.

Who can say that Pakistan is not like the T-80UD "Birch"?

Few years ago yes but not now.

Digital automatic transmission gearbox V150 engine. It can be tailor from 1200HP to 1500HP according to customers need.

The latest VT-4 export to Thailand and possible Iraq army will be using this engine. Unlike traditon manual gear and shaft driven. You are basically driving a tank like a bus or car. Driving panel and automatic transmission.

As you said, it is alleged indeed.

A similar, but not same, layout was tested on one of the prototypes. Things have moved on since then. This is a very similar layout to the early Type-85II model, not even the IIAP that pakistan army operates. the Al khalid armour module is vastly different in both materials, thickness, and layers.

The Al khalid-1 has slightly thicker armor module known to contain at least two new types of materials that were tested on Al khalid test tank during 2005-06.

The research paper is mostly just a guess work based on very old chinese papers. In fact, the writer of this article, Militarysta, made a mess of the information i gave him.


By the way, the frontal plates are not always ERA, in fact, they are composite plates.

Dear colleagues.
Artillery systems for the production of Al-Khalid tanks Mk.1 Pakistan produces itself or buys in China?

The blanks were bought from the French... by 2008...HIT produced an indigenous 125mm smoothbore... similiar to the KBA3.

Its quite sad that you guys could not deliver the order in time. They went for the v t-4 instead which is quite a capable piece of hardware.

Pakistan also has reservations about Malashev's ability to deliver the order if one is placed.

Share your opinion on this.

If they are not delivering on time and Thialand is going for VT 4 than what is going on here. Why Thiland just got second batch of OPLOT M.

Thai view VT-4 more superior than Ukraine OPLOT M and go for it, same as Iraq army.

If you look carefully and watch this program carefully you would notice there are three Tanks on display at HIT stall. Two are AK 1 and AK versions. And than when the Colonel moves to show protector to host there is another Tank visible at the back which camera also shows for few seconds. Which Tank is that ? You can watch about HIT stall after 20th minute
