Khalid main battle tank, also known as MBT-2000 main battle tanks, main battle tanks in China 90II's improved on the basis.

According to the Russian military news network reported on June 28, the tank back to the modern battlefield and in the fight against criminals, terrorists and insurgents fighting in the outstanding performance, not only to force Canada completely changed the view of modern main battle tanks, but also helped Pakistan more tanks, armored units attached great importance to the development of a large number of causes of China's advanced products and technologies.

Russian media said the military world, regardless of size or level of technological development of national strength, often make the same mistake, in any case do not want to learn from other countries the wrong lessons. For example, some Russian generals that no tanks on the battlefield of modern high-tech location, and in Canada a few years ago the generals were also of this view, plus the Army Command in 2005 claimed that the tank was a lot of flaws, useless in the modern battlefield , made the decision to retire active main battle tanks. However, this view on then 4-5 years of a 180-degree turn, not only no longer neglect the role of the tank, and prepared to increase the number of main battle tanks and tank units, because the military operations in Afghanistan is raising a serious setback in the end found and hiding in caves, bunkers when the enemy There is nothing more tanks more efficient and reliable to withstand the test of time and real weapons, and then forced to lease the German 20 "Leopard 2" tanks, and later purchased and from the Netherlands 50 with the tank, now ready to "Leopard," Department of the number of active duty to 80 main battle tanks, of which 40 resident in Afghanistan, and the remaining 40 deployed in the country for combat training. Another 20 will be returned to Germany after the repair.

Canadian Army Chief of Staff Leslie explained that the former is now only able to resist the enemy tanks and armored patrols in Canada, a course of action on the convoy extensive use of mines and explosives, to save the lives of Canadian soldiers. In addition, the tank has a powerful engine and a solid track, any location through the mountains of Afghanistan, break through the enemy in the abandoned village hidden firepower or traffic arteries numerous obstacles, with the Canadian LAV infantry fighting vehicles can not match the higher mobility. Moreover, tank fire and mighty, only it can eliminate a higher accuracy in the bunker, hiding in caves and militants, as infantry, mechanized units and special operations group provides a powerful and timely fire support. Fighting in Afghanistan over the Canadian Army Major Kade You said: "We get the 'Leopard' tanks before, even if we LAV infantry fighting vehicles 25 mm cannon fire can not penetrate the dense about 1 meter, too hard stone clay like cement bunker, so we are often forced to call the Air Force, or risk their lives, step by step approach, and then use anti-tank weapons, mines or explosives, but as long as with the 'Leopard 2' tank's 105 mm gun, a distance of 4,000 meters can easily be puncture holes 5 × 5 m, almost twice the LAV range artillery. "

Russian media stressed that Canada is not a recent development in tank armor attaches great importance to the only country, Pakistan is also a variety of problems in the implementation of main battle tanks developed and large-scale replacement program, for which a large number of advanced products and technologies into China, full use of technical cooperation and license production advantages, maximize the production of new tanks, localization, in order to address a real threat to India's main enemies, after all, once the large-scale armed conflict between India and Pakistan or war, the two sides can not use a lot of front-line Marine tanks and artillery. If the Indian Army main battle tank equipped with a large number of modern words, such as T-90S and improved T-72, then the Pakistan Army is still the basis of the tank although improvements have been modernized, but has lagged behind in technology development of China's 59 - II ,69-II ,85-IIAP tanks, but mainly by the Pakistani arsenal in China under the licensed production of technical assistance. Pakistan Army is currently serving the largest number of tanks in the Chinese 59-II is based on tank upgrades of the "A Erzha Lal" tanks, which use the new armor, hot as the instrument, the new fire control systems and battle command systems, to real-time exchange of tactical battlefield information and the enemy of goals, performance is very advanced. But the Pakistani army is still the future lies in the tank units equipped with more firepower, more advanced vehicle systems of the latest main battle tanks and a large number of equipment, but also stressed that such tanks should be independent from the Pakistani military production enterprises, in order to avoid being to an external threat or war in the main battle tank or parts supply the kinds of serious risks.

Russian media noted that while in Pakistan between 1996-1999 and Kharkov factory signed a 320 total amount of about 6.5 million T-84 (T-80UD) tanks, supply contracts, and jointly developed by China, "Khaled "series of modern tank system is also used black engine and other components, but the Palestinian side in the tank development and production is still the biggest partner of China, and the two continued cooperation to further improve the Pakistani army serving various types of tanks. New tanks and equipment to improve the efficiency of manufacturing, heavy industry, Taxila Pakistan is building a special factory base within the scientific and industrial systems, the current main task is to achieve "Khalid" main battle tank modernization. Pakistan to China 90-II main battle tank based on use of Ukraine engines modified to create a new main battle tank, "Khalid 1", has started to experiment. More promising, "Khalid-II" tank being still in the early stages of development, its focus is to improve vehicle electronic equipment, and command system to improve the tank gun rate of fire increased to 9 per minute, hair, install Ukraine "Varta "Optical suppression system. Individual structures and components most likely Chinese 99 main battle tanks and similar. Tank guns may also be introduced from the outside. In addition, China is Pakistan's main battle tank developed by foreign-based MBT-2000 (VT-1A) has begun to the world in 2009, Peruvian Army has leased five from China to test the tank assessment, the results obtained after the positive conclusion to prepare procurement 80-120 units to replace 300 Soviet-Peruvian Army T-55 tanks, though due to the obstruction of Ukraine was frustrated, but to enter the world market seems to have unstoppable momentum.

Of course, the main battle tank in order to better play in the modern battlefield, particularly the role of front line against terrorism must also be based on modern warfare, and further improve and perfect the tank fire control systems, and integrated into the tactical level of the unified command system to facilitate the tank drivers real-time and higher, the same level commander links, more timely and effective participation in combat operations, to provide fire support.

Varta "Optical suppression"??

Varta is an electro optical jammer made by Ukarine, it disrupts laser rangefinders, laser designators and anti-tank guided missile tracking systems. This Varta system is Known to be integrated in al-khalid 1

 

[Safriz]

the tank looks very advanced and as good as a tank can get.......

[nomi007]

Al-Khalid 1 is equipped with a newly developed indigenous ERA which is not only light weight, but also more resistant to APFSDS, HEAT and HE-FS rounds. ERA is developed by Global Industries and Defense Solutions (GIDS) Corporation.Al-Khalid is also equipped with an Active protection system known as VARTA (mentioned above in my previous post) which is a Ukrainian modification of Russian Shtora APS system. HIT is also working on an indigenous APS system for future batches especially for Al-Khalid 2.

Apart form this Al-Khalid 1 has Sagem third-generation thermal imagers and improved air conditioning system.

Where as al-Khalid 2 is believed to incorporate re-designed turret, upgraded modular armour package and sensors, improved ammunition and new powerpack developing 1,500 hp
