Al-Khalid, Al-zarrar & APC's being handed over to the army

[SABRE]

I agree to that no tank indestructible...some may even get damaged by grenades & rocket launchers too.

No known anti-tank system can defeat Al-Khalid tank till date

But I dont believe that the statement refers to being indestructibility. It mean competetion. I refers that Al-Khalid is the best there & I disagree with it.

About the Armour thickness. Pakistan's current Al-Khalid r T-90 upgrades but from 2007 they'll make a new armour, made in Pakistan. They wont bring in old dummies & put tank equipments on it. In 2007 Pakistan would be in condition to claim that Al-Khalid is Pakistan's own. They r also going to start reverse engineering on various equipments PS looking for ToT of Ukrainian Tank Engines.

It must not be forgotton that China is also upgrading its T-90 & working on new Tank based on T-90 (Just as Al-Khalid) but according to Chinese needs. That Tank is expected to be very much better than Al-Khalid. So I dnt believe that Al-Khalid is undefeatable. I herd Chinese prototypes r already out.
I wounder if Pakistan will buy some of them. I saw some art impressions of the Chinese tank here on DT & it looked so beautiful.

According to some Russian sites from a few months back (and IIRC on TankNET and as a lead item on StrategyPage a few weeks ago) the Chinese tank is a rehulled 1959 design that the Chinese were granted a license to,.

It's not a "new" tank at all. The fundamental T-59 origins are still there, but it has been rehulled, partially digitised etc... They were reporting that they were using Japanese COTS modules.

 

[P.A.F]

well it meets pakistans needs by far

 

[SABRE]

Pakistani T-59 have been upgraded to Al-Zarar. Non upgrade versions will also be upgraded. With out being upgraded I doubt they r fulfilling the modern needs of Pakistan Army.

 

[P.A.F]

the newer version of the al-khalid sure will

Both the Al-Khalid and Al-Zarar tanks will form the backbone of the Pakistani Army. Dont worry Sabre, all T-59s will go through the major upgrade to be brought to Al-Zarar standard (the work is going on at a good pace) and ofcourse, Al-Khalids will keep on rolling off the lines to fulfil the requirements of the Pakistan Army as soon as possible.
