Tested against high hardened steel (HHS), the t-90S turret is made from medium hardness steel at best. This will give it less protection against high speed incoming apfsds rounds reaching over 1700m/s velocity. Also, the frontal turret protection of t-90 does not go more than 650mm at any part...

do some search, you will find some valuable data on bm-42 clone in this very thread.

T-90S has less than 700mm RHA equivalent frontal armour against kinetic apfsds, not exceeding that without ERA. Naiza 1 is close to 600mm @ 2km, 580mm is certified. NAiza 2 is prett much classified, but is estimated to do somewhere between 630-660mm RHA @ 2,5km. VT-4 brought with it a new...

Find me one Indian round that achieves 600mm and is in service, there is none. The bm42 clone made by OFB barely reaches 460mm at zero degrees. The latest Arjun also does at 500mm, that to with no pics of stats and just word of mouth.

No idea, but this guy just passed trials late last year. The ARDE P2 will penetrate over 650mm RHA armor at 0 degrees at 2500 meters.

The bm-42 clone can best achieve 460mm armor penetration. The israeli one was discontinued as IMI, the company that manufactured it got banned. Rest is just your fantasy parade, not reality. if it is, show the evidence.

Gosh, no, it says that the shell can penetrate around 220mm RHA armor when fired from 66 degree angle, which means that it will penetrate 600mm or above when fired at 0 degree, or front on.

it is the other way around, no Indian round can penetrate more than 500mm at 2000 meters front on. The story has been discussed to death on this forum. The type-2m can penetrate at 600+mm armor front on.

VT-4 ammo seen during trials in pakistan.. notice the APFSDS round. It seems to sport a longer rod compared to the type-2M apfsds offered previously. older apfsds round besides other ammo..

both tanks suffered engine issues..

Oplot-P will have to pass the trials first, the engines and UD upgrades are a done deal.

Secretary defense in Ukraine, perhaps ensuring that IF ordered, no delays will occur? A t-84 is visible in the second pic

The pakistani t-80uds (objekt 478BEH) were all new builts except the first 15 vehicles that were also brought to the same standard. Ukraine does not operate the type and are happy with using/ upgrading their t-64s. They only have some T-80BVs in storage.

Provided it gets selected, Ukraine might supply full built units as HIT is busy with Alkhalid-1s and the upcoming Alkhalid-2. However, the maintenance, upgradation will be done locally much like how they manage the t-80ud. The latter now share several components from Alkhalid including the...

Chinese VT-4 was also tested but fell short in several areas.

Yes, the sides also have Duplet ERA. The tank is yet to be tested in pakistan. Keep in mind that this is not the definitive version. Whether it will be bought or not, depends on how it performs in Pakistan.

Oplot-P, custom made Oplot for Pakistan..

For some reason, the Oplot M had some serious engine issues during recent trials in Pakistan.

some interesting images from the Malashev factory while the t-80ud was being manufactured..

Its a t-72, not the t-90. Notice the K-1 ERA blocks on the turret and hull.
