Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

it appears to have a thicker frontal composite armour plating but no sign of any ERA there
There is ERA, typical Chinese design, just like on ZTZ-96 and ZTZ-99.

The small flag or whatever this is called..is only similar on al khalid from the past page 4 pics.
also i am sure even a blind will see there is no ERA at all on the turret

its a communication antenna, no need to convince an ignorant, he will never admit that he is proven wrong.

Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

Now in future Pakistan can design its own tank/IFV without any other country support with majority of the components to be also sourced from local industry.may be even engine within the next decade
It is dreems. A-K is China-Ukrainian, no single pakistani designed system there.

Really? AK is china-ukraine?

MBT-2000 was a jv between CHina and pak based off type90IIM.

under 1 decade al khalid was developed.

we have rights of exporting Al khalid to any third party.ukraine is more than willing to give us license of re export of al khalid with ukrainian engine to either KSA in the past or Sri lanka in close future.

We have the industry to design tanks now..this is the reason Al khalid II would most probably be a new tank with very little similarities with Basic AK or AK1

other than this than even the t-80ud is of russian origin so does the oplot and the rest of ukranian tanks.but you do have the export rights

they are not of ukraine origin.rather USSR.ukraine is only 2 decades older country

Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

There are quite a few indigenous systems on AK to be precise.
Some of them i remember at the moment are


*Aorak series ERA
*Onwards AK1 the locally developed Gun
*IBMS(could be exported to bangladesh aswell)
*Laser threat systems
*onwards AK1 the FCS/GCS
*Electronics for the autoloader(solid state)
*ammo
*The Basic armour is indigenous to Pakistan including the latest developed armour by AARDIC(2005?)


and many such more to mention

Most important Pakistan hold the design rights because of it being developed under Joint venture and can export it without china will or not

Re: Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

@Damian, the other loophole in the Pakistani trials of the Abrams is that Pakistanis claim that the tested tank had a 105 mm gun when the M1A1 had the 120 mm cannon.

Of course, there is a possibility that the Americans did not offer it.
