Its just an old design when we compare it with modern 3+ gen MBTs. After-all it was developed in 80s and there is limitation in the extent of its up gradation.Is Al-Khalid an inferior design ....??
In my humble opinion NO ....
Could it be made compatible with other more modern contemporary tanks .... ???
Answer is Yes .... a Definitive Yes
Addition/Installation of
- Modular Composite Armour
- High power engine 1500 or above
- Next Generation TI sights
or in short comprehensive upgrade of Al-Khalid while maintaining the same Basic Design could give competition to any new modern tank, this is the beauty of this tank.
An evolution of AK design is VT4 which if upgraded with specific externally sourced upgrades from West can become a promising solution against any Tank India can put in battlefield. It outperformed our Al Khalid and Ukranian Oplot and even in Chinese configuration it was very much appreciated by the army. But then "things" happened and project was put on halt.
