First Al-Khalid 1 unit formed

[Dynamic Defense Solutions]

Why is Al Khalid production so slow?
Only 330 produced till date.

procurement procedures for material are slow, secondly attitude towards work is negative in factory.

Stop spreading rumors. Productiion was slow due to lack of budget and transition to Al-Khalid 1. Over 450mbts including 36 AK1 are in service.

Respected member do PAk AK has active protection system as I have read often but specs do not show it.

 

[Fieldmarshal]

Those tanks r still to be delivered...the regiment will truly stand in the next few months when the tanks r delivered

I do not agree, we are directly dealing with tank factory and apc factory, we know the procedures very very well, just to let you know, e.g. we have submitted our quotes the 3rd time on a procurement, as every time tender is revised due to unknown reasons. this is just one business case.

And you shared your business concerns on a public forum? Conveying your complains and reservations through proper means would be a better idea. Tender revisions, procurement delays and red tape regularly occur in such procedures. You should have known all that IF you are dealing with the defence industry.

ASELSAN'S PULAT active protection system, which is now being deployed, can be an option!!!! Good new, from now on all defense contracts with Turkey will be in TL!!!!

PULAT
System Description
PULAT, Active Protection System of ASELSAN, the Radar and
Electronic Warfare (EW) Center of Turkey
PULAT detects the anti-tank missiles or rockets approaching to
the platform with its high technology radar, and then disables
them at optimum range from the platform by using Hard-Kill
method.
PULAT provides 360 degrees full protection, depending on the
placement of the modules on the platform, against anti-tank
guided missiles (ATGM) and rockets. PULAT is effective in both
asymmetric warfare and operational environment of main battle
tanks. PULAT can also handle multiple threats effectively at the
same time as a result of its distributed architecture.
PULAT can be adapted to different armored vehicles by altering
its modular and distributed system solution.
System Components
• Anti-Threat Module
• Anti-Threat Ammunition
• High Technology Triggering Radar
• Power Distribution Unit
• Control Panel
System Features
• Hard-kill ability
• 360 degree full protection depending on module placement
• Fully operational in severe environmental conditions such as
dust, mud, rain, snow and fog as as result of radar detection
method
• Effective against low-range anti-tank threats in asymmetric
warfare
• Fully operational against multiple simultaneous threats
• Integration capability to different armored vehicles

Looks like a close analog of Zaslon, almost identical. The problem with hardkill aps systems is the overall performance. They might track and shoot down the guided HEAT rounds, but will have a hard time detecting, let alone tracking a kinetic energy rounds since they are not guided. Detecting threat via a radar at such short ranges also becomes problematic at times since the reaction time is minimal, often minutes and seconds.

Hence, all sorts of UAVs are also simultaneously deployed....

But the problem is still there. Questionable reliability.

Wow that Al khalid 1's frontal armor looks so stronged and buffed up now! Almost like a T90-A
