An Insight into Al-Khalid II MBT.

[Dazzler]

What other options???

Perhaps 150HB 1500hp engine from China is also a contender? They requested to test it some time ago.

Jordanian King Abdullah II BIN AL-Hussain Visited HIT ON 09th FEB 2018

HOW.many of.it.we exported or.got. a deal???

None, but the king showed interest. Let see what happens but i think at $6 million a pop, its too expensive for Jordanians.

Thanks buddy. Great share.

Just disappointed with turret design.

Protection against Javelin like top attack system?

 

[Dazzler]

Thanks buddy. Great share.

Just disappointed with turret design.

it is an incremental improvement, not a radical one so essentially the same design. That will be the the Alkhalid 2.

Did anyone notice the new muzzle reference system adjacent to the doghouse?

Why are you disappointed ?

Yes, I did notice it! Could you describe the new armour, what are this nopes on the armour plates or what the purpose? Welding seams ?

Protection against Javelin like top attack system?

No, I don't think so, only against light explosions and fragments!

T-90 is Between $4.25-$4.5 million per vehicle in 2017 depending on model and who you are buying it from. But why is Alkhalid so expensive ?

T-90 is Between $4.25-$4.5 million per vehicle in 2017 depending on model and who you are buying it from. But why is Alkhalid so expensive ?

It is expensive due to:

better engine and transmission
better fire and gun control
better ammo,
datalink and netcentric warfare capability/ situation awareness
environment control and
battle management system.

Why are you disappointed ?

No, I don't think so, only against light explosions and fragments!

Armour is classified for obvious reasons, but my guess would be new inserts, materials within the composite armour module. Still pretty decent frontal protection. Nopes are for easily mounting and removing ERA plates. You also see these on the VT-4.

 

[Signalian]

Why are you disappointed ?

expected wedge shaped.

 

[Dazzler]

expected wedge shaped.

The wedge shape is nothing but hollow metallic or composite cavities that can be added, stuffed as needed.
