@Signalian @Gryphon how 1650 T-90s and 2410 T-72s(which are very good) will be confronted by our mere 1500 modern tanks?

The missile hit the front armor, ERA worked that's why there was no penetration. The crew, apparently, was still alive, the tank did not catch fire and most likely have preserved fighting capability
i am not an expert so not sure this is actually a TOW
but clearly disables the t 90 tank
i doubt it, i have seen videos where its hit by RPG/antitank weapons and tanks backs up to safety or cover or replysThe missile hit the front armor, ERA worked that's why there was no penetration.

There was no penetration. The gunner jumped out because he made the mistake of leaving his hatch open and the blast from the missile and era exploding probably blew out his eardrums. If he had been riding with his hatch closed nothing would have happened to him as there was no penetration. T-90 armor held very well against the TOW missile the crew just has to me better trained not loiter in one spot for so long without securing the field of fire. I am sure the tank can be repaired and put back into service quickly. At most just a few of the optics and era plates need to be changed and it will be ready to go again.i doubt it, i have seen videos where its hit by RPG/antitank weapons and tanks backs up to safety or cover or replys
when crew abandons the tank its almost always because the tank cannot move and hence disabled
there might not be penetration or total destruction but it still got disabled
disable means disable, tank didnt moveThere was no penetration.

Most effective against IA MBT's.
1. ATGM (TOW/TOW II, GREEN ARROW)
Other Effective measures against IA MBT's.
2. Gunships (AH-1, Mi-24)
3. UCAV (Burraq)
4. Artillery (there was a presentation in 2003/4 of using rounds which vector towards enemy tanks, forgot basic details even, but something like that exists)
5. PA MBT's.
6. PAF CAS aircrafts
7. Mines and other explosives set as traps.
8. MLRS
The crew hatch was open, the guy got shell shocked and ran out. The tank was in fighting condition. Nothing happened to the tank. If you notice even Shtora was turned off. The crew was probably sent out into the field without proper training.
PA won't get that lucky when facing India. We don't plan to operate inside urban areas and Indian tanks will have better air support.
MLRS and artillery are area effect weapons. It's not easy to employ against tanks because you need that extremely rare direct hit. Counter battery and air support can take out the MLRS and artillery systems.
If you are talking about Alcotan or RPG types, they have limitations in guidance and range (just a few hundred meters). Its almost suicidal to approach an MBT in open with these weapons in a fast paced desert battle.Don't rule out portable anti-tank rockets. Very capable as seen in the video posted on the previous page. That tank is toasted.
M-110 was basically a counter battery weapon but yes it fires a huge shell.Regarding artillery, PA uses 203 mm M110 in Strike Corps because they can damage or overturn enemy armoured assets, thus providing valuable gains in battle.
No. of MLRS launchers has increased in recent years, most of them 122 mm.
dont you think Pakistan should buy Advance FnF ATGM like FGM-148?Alcotan was procured for western front and LOC, as it can be fired from confined spaces. It has advantage of bigger calibre over RPG-7 series, 100mm to 40mm.
Correct.Even in WW-2 artillery was very deadly weapon against tanks. Get your facts right.
yes PA should.dont you think Pakistan should buy Advance FnF ATGM like FGM-148?

An underestimated weapon in PA is the mortar when used in conjunction with armoured forces. Most modern armies have 120mm mortar placed in M-113 and its a very effective weapon with good range (6-7 km)

we have 24000+ BS but it's too heavy for troops to carryI don't think so. Alcotan is offered in four variants. Visit the below link for details

Pakistan acquired the anti-tank version. IMO, it should be issued to all infantry and mechanized infantry battalions (under holding corps) facing enemy MBT/IFV threat.
Yep. Effective against incoming enemy tanks as well.
PA has 4x 60 mm mortar operators in each M-113. Isn't the 120 mm mortar too heavy?
Pakistan should stop producing more Baktar-Shikan's and move to HJ-12 or Ingwe.
The former can be used as a man portable ATGM as well as mounted on 4x4 vehicles/APC's/Type 59 chassis.
