Now that's the news of the day...... T-90 with ARMATA what a deadly combination......
@iLION12345_1 ,
@SQ8
just for a knowledge part I'm asking is there any Chinese tank right now that can be compared to ARMATA?
Suppose India is successful in inducting this tank in next 4-5 years will it tilt balance very heavily in our favor for very long time or China and Pakistan will have better options by then.....
I have unfortunately not read or followed the thread, I haven’t had the time.
What source is being presented in the video? Defense matrix is an extremely useless channel with a stupid owner/presenter who doesn’t know the first thing about defense. But if he’s using any official/semi-official source then it could be worth talking about, otherwise T-14s aren’t coming for india anytime soon, simply because they’re not ready, Russia itself has no capacity or capability build them, it hasn’t made a single follow up order.
Is Armata likely going to be Indias next tank? Yes, likely, but around 2028-2030s and beyond, not yet.
Is it a good tank? Obviously, it’s one of the best in the market right now. Indian needs that considering it’s outgunned by Al-Khalids and VT-4s in this particular department, what Pakistan will do then to counter it remains to be seen, but for Pakistan the best option is to push forward with its modernization and increase the current gap to a large enough point to where the T-14 won’t take india too far ahead. Otherwise As it stands the T-14 is quite a league ahead of anything Pakistan (and basically any other country) operates, that is, when it finally reaches proper production.
As for China, I don’t think it matters to them, the terrain between india and China is more suited to smaller tanks, something China has and india doesn’t. And I also expect China to be either coming out with a new tank or upgrading their ZTZ-99A models in the near future, how they’ll compare with The T-14 remains to be seen, but I can say for sure China will be able to make more of whatever it does make than Russia.
Read my sentence.... I am just telling, all Pakistan tanks does not have advantage over T90 tanks... Few points, T90 is better and few points al Khalid tank.... I do not want to compare with older tanks..
Advantage will have with better planner...
About T14 Tank - it is a completely a next level at least on the paperpaper
As you are claiming T90 can not stop other Pakistans tanks and the same, Pakistans can not stop T90........ All depends on planning and executions..
Regarding ammunition - do you have anything on paper or documented?
Or just saying Pakistani made is better actually it does declair better?
I am very practcal man... Don't believe on such emotional lines.
Indian T90S are not modernized/upgraded in any way, they are stock. The further 464 T90S india has on order are also base models (same thing from 2001). And 2/3rd of all Indian tanks use Near-Obsolete ammo from the 80s (BM42) and even older BM-17 on 1/3rd of their fleet.
The armor array is different to a Russian T90, different doesn’t mean better, it’s still early 2000 tech. There are also currently no upgrades planned for them, no idea why.
I’m not going to go into the rest of the conversation here because I haven’t read the thread, but just know that the average Indian tank can’t even compare to a Pakistani Al-Khalid from 2001 (apart from protection, it has no advantages over the Al-Khalid, but plenty of disadvantages if you want me to list them)
let alone what came after it; AK-1, VT-4P and the planned AK-2.
