What's new

An Insight into Al-Khalid II MBT.

AK program is dead or something ? seeing so many articles of Pak army looking for T84's , Type 99 and etc etc ?
 
ok so its running great. Why are we looking for other tanks then ? isn't ak as good as t90 and other tanks ?
I think probably because they can't be produced fast enough...

If Pakistani Military chooses Oplot M and Pakistani have enough cash they could aquire 160 of those next year and year after that 360+ in case pakistani buy up every unit that Ukranians produce.

AK was developed in 90s. It's a two decade old program. And since it wasn't a ground breaking program so most of technology used to make the tank already existed at that time, which makes it even older.
Anyway, the new tank PA is looking for is to replace older tanks, it would complement AK.

AK is better than T 90 and new versions of AK are under production and work on more is being completed. T-99 A2 is part of separate Tank project known as AL HAIDER. @yugocrosrb95 production rate is not the issue
 
Ajeeb banday ho aap. kabhi kehte ho AK2 program is running aur kabhi kuch aur.
AL KHALID II was never stopped it's most probably in production and work on AK 3 has begun
 
AK-II 125mm should have an anti-helicopter round probably a HEAT round equipped with a proximity fuse) with proper blast fragmentation.

M1A1 has a STAFF Round for this purpose.

STAFF is a 120mm tank round thatsearches out and destroys enemy armor at distances beyond the reach of conventional munitions. As a top-attack smart munition, STAFF destroys enemy armor by flying over it and firing a highly lethal explosively formed penetrator down into its lightly armored top. No enemy armor is safe from STAFF -- whether it's moving, at long range, or in defilade. Although STAFF is primarily designed as an anti-armor round, it complements the M830A1 tank round by being highly lethal against helicopters. STAFF is unique among antiarmor munitions because of its large sensor footprint and the standoff capability of its explosively formed penetrator warhead.


STAFF requires no change to the tank turret and no unique actions by the tank crew other than setting a single range zone switch. From aiming and firing to the last stages of its operation, STAFF functions much like a conventional round. During ballistic flight, STAFF establishes a vertical reference and orients itself with the ground. In the final seconds of flight, a search and track mode is initiated. The forward-scanning millimeter wave sensor establishes a large footprint for target acquisition. The round flies over the target, rolls to align the warhead, fuzes, and then fires its lethal penetrator down into the most vulnerable area of the tank.

Alliant Techsystems developed the STAFF round. Proof of principle was demonstrated in 1990.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) visited the Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) on Thursday to review the preparedness of the military’s armed warfare production line. HIT is considered the home of army’s armour production, especially tanks, armoured personnel carriers and other mechanised vehicles.

During his visit to the facility, Gen Raheel was briefed by HIT head Lt Gen Wajid Hussain on the products manufactured for defence and commercial purposes. He also told the army chief about the details of the factory’s various facilities, according to the ISPR.

Wajid also briefed him about Pakistan’s main battle tank ‘Al-Khalid-I’ besides the manufacturing and rebuilding of armoured personnel carriers, security vehicles Dragon and Mohafiz.

The army chief also witnessed the assembly and demonstration of the Al-Khalid-I tank.

Mr AL KHALID II is under development and won't be revealed like this and even work on AK 3 has begun. Mr if you think on General Raheel visit they were going to reveal AK II than it's you who took it wrong even General Raheel knows what is going and what news will be given to media. AK-2 will come don't worry those who think their is no such project are real fools @Bratva
