india retired there t55(vijyant) tanks long ago, pakistan still relay on modified t55 copy(alzarar ?) .indian T72(AJEYA) can give a good fight to alkhalid(MBT2000).
the no of T90s + ARJUN +Ajeya(modified) are enough to have numerical superiority over t80ud + alkhalid .
no offense
you really need to get your facts straight man, t-72 ajeya can take on Alkhalid?? just read the specs of both on google and argue.
T-90 was bought to counter t-80, again, read on net and you will find plenty of info on it. T-80 was bought by pakistan only as a stop gap measure because Alkhalid was being developed since 1989-90. Just look at what Alkhalid is at the moment and compare it with t-90. Arjun is not in the picture at the moment, even when it comes, it will not be the greatest threat at a mere figure of 124 especially in the harsh desert terrain of Thar/Rajhistan.
