clearly over hyped... none of the two piece ammo can have such level of penetration until we're on moon or mars.
Even single piece long rods like DM-63 when fired from L55(which is the most powerful tank gun in use) can only achieve upto 700-750mm RHA penetration at 2000m.
Only round which is...
No the design is for 2.4 meter diameter silos numbering anywhere between 16-20.
and a displacement of above 15000+ tons... unsubmerged.

We are talking of the main anti-tank ammo which is the AFSPDS... 2-3 have little or no significance... even If you consider M289A3 rounds which are almost 1m.
It better to have the auto-loader working for smaller two piece rounds which can provide rapid fire and not compromise with...
Makes the whole concept of auto-loader useless... Its better to strip off the auto-loader in that case.
While performing manual loading the gunner has to leave his position and perform additional duties... leaving the tank vulnerable... would affect the rate of fire... even more so while on move...
If your 1st hand source is a Russian working Kilmov and other factories there in Russia or an Indian working at Koraput... then yes you are right... about your part making me wrong... :wink:
Sources in the military and media can be jingos and misleading as has been the case many times.
That...
So back to square one... on longer than 650mm AFSPDS round handling capability of the T-72 style autoloader.
about Kombat

comparison with other missiles of Russian origins.
Vasiliy Fofanov's Modern Russian Armour Page
Latest among them in Invar-M.
Again you didn't reply about the auto loader part...
Here's how Kombat is loaded in both types of Russian loaders.
Hence If we take your words true... It leaves the designers of Al Khalid as Jokers who don't know how to fit the missile in auto-loader.
I don't know about Al Khalid but for T-72, T-90, T-80 and other tanks having two piece ammo style auto loader.
Refleks-M ATGM System
Seriously.... No other tank other than Al Khalid seems to load them manually.
Details on M289A1
684 mm long
20.9kg weight
1575m/s velocity
3000m range
570mm RHA penetration at 2000m
point balnk is 670mm
and 620mm for 1000m
460mm penetration possible at 4000m.
Considering the length of the rod here which is 684mm... the carousel autoloader on Al Khalid and other...
I don't understand what do you know at large when the engine is not managed by PAC at all... as it is in fact exported to China from Russia and then to Pakistan... according to you the engine has been studied inside out by PAC who can suggest fan module modification without knowing the...

It depends on how the pilots are flying, maintenance and age.. of the engine.
Blade or...
RD-93 is RD-33-block2... for single engine planes.. at best modification in gear box, fuel probes, and electronics to make it compatible with a single engine plane... with some what increase in weight and decreasing T/W ratio.
Again I repeat there is no modification in fan blades...
The options include...
Barak-8 LRSAM
Akash Mk-1
Spyder
SA-8 Gecko
SA-3 pechoras
The SAM Air defense systems are only the ones used by IAF.. demonstrating IAF's self sufficiency in defending itself against a subsonic cruise missile.
I have not included Army's Air defense systems...
We don't live in primitive ages... as we were before without any early warning... we know about every plane taking off in Pakistani airspace(near our vicinity and upto Peshawar)... during Highly tense situations.
Soon we would keep the record of every vehicle moving near and upto Islamabad.
