Anti-Tank Capabilities of Infantry Divisions in Strike Corps

[Pakistani Fighter]

---->Conclusion----<

---Pakistan Army possesses strong anti-tank capability which will be a challenge to Indian mechanized formations in any future conflict.

---The main objective of these anti-tank formations is to prevent a break-out by Indian armoured formations. Using speed, mobility, terrain familiarity and stand-off range of their missiles, they intend to blunt Indian mechanized offensive.

---With the ability to engage targets at night, they can spring a surprise on any advancing armour column. Working in conjunction with some armour and/or AH-1 ‘Cobra’ gunship helicopters will make for a formidable force.
Pakistani LAT and HAT will play an important role in next Indo-Pak war. And like the Israelis in 1973 war, Indian Army will have to evolve tactics to counter them. And while Israelis were taken by surprise, Indian Army knows the existence of this capability.

---Apart from counter-tactics, Indian Army also needs to invest in a technological solution like Active Protection Systems (APS) for its main battle tanks.

Does a Bakhtar Shikan has the capability to take out an Indian T 90? If no then do we an ATGM to take out an IA's T90? Also how will our Corps counter IA's Apaches without PAF?

Baktar Shikan will probably not be able to take out T-90. Kornet probably does have a way to destroy T-90 though.

Kornets are probably for Mi 35s

That is why I was saying Pakistan should cooperate with UAE on missile production. Imagine an anti-tank vehicle equipped with imaging infrared and ATGM from UAE.

Take an M-113

Add these ATGMs in 2 pods of 4.

You get an ADATS vehicle without radar that can take out anything that moves.

Understand HJ-12 Red Arrow developed by the Chinese Norinco is a man-portable 'State of the art tank killer missile'. Won't it be cheaper to attach one anti-tank company of say about 12 Jeep mounted Red Arrow anti-tank missile systems with each Infantry Brigade?

It would be classified as a light anti-tank weapon because of relatively low range(2.5km) compared to weapons like Kornet(10km)

Yes, it is only has a range of about 2000 meters, but quite capable of killing a T-90 and that is the whole idea.

I agree, HJ-10 vehicle could also work for Pakistan.

Yes, it can! Why not?

 

[Philip the Arab]

Yes, it can! Why not?

Not enough armor penetration, and modern ERA takes even more penetration out of that. 500-600 is not enough for almost all parts of T-90.

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

Yes, it can! Why not?

What about countering Apaches?

The Tank must stand still and that's what matters when we can blow off the T-90 cannon, or the optical sights, or the tracks or the engine, then the mission is accomplished the rest can be done by following elements like Tanks or Artillery if it's necessary! How effective is a T-90 which cant move, shot or see anything?

Manpads can counter apache.. .

U can use thermal sights for night time

 

[Inception-06]

Every battalion will be attached with Manpads and AA Guns! The combination of mobile 12.7mm and MANPADS is a nightmare for any Apache, if the Indian Apache has a bad day, then it will face also some 37mm rounds, its all about deployment and tactics!

Important and high-value units will work under low-level air defence!

RBS 70 is enough for Apache?
