Anti-tank guided missiles cannot hit T-84 tanks.
There is no tank in the world that can have complete protection from ATGM's.
Technical Comparision of Al-Khalid and T-90
Armament:
T-90:It is fitted with 125mm Smoothbore gun which can fire APDS ,HEAT, HE-FRAG.
The gun can fire AT-11 Sniper ATGM of range 5km which Laser beam riding Guidance and can penetrate 700mm of RHA.
It can carry 42 rounds and can fire 7 rounds/min
The T-90S armament includes one 125mm 2A46M smoothbore gun, stabilised in two axes and fitted with a thermal sleeve. The gun tube can be replaced without dismantling inside the turret. The gun can fire a variety of ammunition including APDS (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot), HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank), HE-FRAG (High Explosive Fragmentation) as well as shrapnel projectiles with time fuzes.
The T-90S gun can also fire the 9M119 Refleks (NATO designation AT-11 Sniper) anti-tank guided missile system. The range of the missile is 100m to 4,000m and takes 11.7 sec to reach maximum range. The system is intended to engage tanks fitted with ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) as well as low-flying air targets such as helicopters, at a range of up to 5km. The missile system fires either the 9M119 or 9M119M missiles which have semi-automatic laser beamriding guidance and a hollow charge warhead. Missile weight is 23.4kg. The guns automatic loader will feed both ordnance and missiles.

Its Unclear whether the tank is carrying ATGM but the gun is having the capability to fire Missiles.
It can carry 39 rounds and can fire 8 rounds/min
Al-Khalid has been designed with a 125mm (48 calibre) smooth bore, autofrettaged and chrome plated gun which can fire APFSDS, HEAT-FS and HE-FS conventional ammunition and missiles. It is equipped with muzzle reference system, and bi-axis stabilisation. Elevation and azimuth control is achieved by electro-hydraulic power drives. The tank is also equipped with a 7.62 mm-coaxial MG, 12.7mm externally mounted MG that can be fired with the hatch closed and grenade launchers.
Fire Control System:
T-90:Its Fire Control System is automatic but has a manual override for the commander.
For Night Vision T-90 is equipped with Agava-2 Sight which can identify targets at a range of 2.5km and Buran-PA Sight which can identify targets at a range of 1.2km in passive mode and 1.5km in active mode.
Gunner FCS Consists of Ballistic Computer,1A43 Day/Range Finder Sight,Laying device and Wind Gauge.
Commander has Agat Day/Night Sight which can identify targets at 800m in Active mode and 700m in Passive Mode.
Driver is equipped with a Infra-Red Night Vision Viewer.
Al-Khalid:The commander can aquire the a target Independently while Gunner can fire on previously selected ones.
Commander is provided with a panoramic Sight,LRF and has hunter killer capability.
Gunnner has dual Magnification Day/Night Sight with Laser range finder.
Night Vision is provided by dual magnification Thermal Imaging Sight.
Its Fire Control System consists of Ballistic Computer ,Sensor cross wind.
Protection:
T-90:It has Kontakt-5 Heavy ERA which is capable of defeating APFSDS rounds.
Its frontal turret can give protection upto 540-760mm Vs APFSDS and
800-1220mm Vs HEAT.
Glacis can give protection upto 690mm Vs APFSDS and 940mm Vs HEAT.
Its unclear whether Indian T-90's carry the Shotra-1 Laser Jamming System.
Bharat Rakshak Says Indian T-90s are not fitted with Shotra System.
But Some other reports say they are fitted.
Its also fitted with NBC Protection System.
The T-90 is fitted with the Shtora-1 defensive aids suite which is produced by Electronintorg of Russia. This system includes infrared jammer, laser warning system with four laser warning receivers, grenade discharging system which produces an aerosol screen and a computerised control system.
Al-Khalid:It is fitted with Composite and ERA armor.
Its turret can offer protection upto 590-630mm Vs KE and 700mm Vs HEAT.
Its Glacis can give protection upto 450mmVs KE and 540mm VsHEAT.
The hull is of welded steel construction with an additional layer of composite armour at the front. Explosive reactive armour has been added to the glacis plate and nose of the vehicle. The driver is seated in the centre and has a single-piece hatch cover that lifts and swings to the right and in front of this are three periscopes, the centre one of which can be replaced by a passive periscope for driving at night. The turret is in the centre and is of all welded steel armour construction to which a layer of composite armour has been added over the frontal arc. In addition, to the turret front, sides and forward roof has been added packs of explosive reactive armour
Propulsion:
T-90:It is powered by 1000hp V-92S2 Four Stroke V-12 Diesel Engine which has power to weight ratio of 21 hp/ton.
Al-Khalid:It has 1200 Hp Diesel engine of power to weight ratio of 26 hp/ton.
Performance:
T-90:
Ground pressure:0.87 kg/sqcm
Weight:46 tons
Max Speed:65 km/h on road and 45km/h on Cross Country.
Max Range:650km on road and 500km on Cross Country.
Trench Crossing:2.8m Wide.
Vertical Obstacle:0.85m.
Al-Khalid:
Weight:46 tons
Max Speed:70km/hr
Max Range:400km
Trench Crossing:2.7m

Conclusion:Al-Khalid Really looks impressive tank developed by pakistan.
If Indian T-90's are equipped with Laser Jamming Systems then they can be at significant advantage.
The T-90's Kontakt-5 ERA looks better than what Al-khalid has.
It makes T-90 one of the best protected tanks in the world.
T-90 is more comparable to T-80UD rather than Al-Khalid.
The interesting question would be Can the Al-khalid APFSDS round penetrate the T-90's armor.
The Kontakt-5 can also give protection from APFSDS Rounds.
Some reports say that even US DU Rounds cannot penetrate the Kontakt-5.

"Speaking at a conference on Future Armoured Warfare in London in May, IDR's Pentagon correspondent Leland Ness explained that US tests involved firing trials of Russian-built T-72 tanks fitted with Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armour (ERA). In contrast to the original, or 'light', type of ERA which is effective only against shaped charge jets, the 'heavy' Kontakt-5 ERA is also effective against the long-rod penetrators of APFSDS tank gun projectiles. "When fitted to T-72 tanks, the 'heavy' ERA made them immune to the DU penetrators of M829 APFSDS, fired by the 120 mm guns of the US M1 Abrams tanks, which are among the most formidable of current tank gun projectiles.
just wait a while..i gotta get everything going once again..a few people to help out with skinning..then i will do upgrades (which you can buy in game).
