The question should be asked to the army , why they selected the T90 in the first place and then after some time start asking drdo and Pvt companies for upgrades to improve the performance . When they bought the T90 in the first place did they not know it was not worth it . Ironically if you noticed army doesn't not ask for upgrades from the Russians . I wonder why given they bought the T90 from the Russians in the first place.Al-Khalid-1 seems to throughly outclass our 464 obsolete T-90S in every single parameter I looked for!
It's a joint venture between Pakistan, China, and Ukraine. Thanks to them its now has bi-axis gun stabilisation, anti thermal/IR coatings from Intermat Defence, possibly some BMS feature, new sights & sensors.View attachment 59004
New composite armour, possibly to mount Ukrainian Varta or Chink JM-3 dazzler active protection system as "improved urban warfare capability" was mentioned.
They apparently increased the autoloader size that now carries more rounds. Overall 49 rounds.
Mobility is claimed to have improved, but same engine. From the footages, its seems they upgrades the suspension & transmission.

The latest T-90M-P3 is a completely different beast compared to ours. Atleast the Arjun's subsystems need to be installed & maybe the spare ammo moved to turret-bustle.
