@Dazzler

I imagine the AKs can be easily upgraded to VT4 standard?

ab kya upgrade karna hai , bas zyada ERA thop do aur countermeaures laga do

Of course not...

Upgrading baseline AKs to AK-I would be more effective and economical.

whats the diff?

 

[Raja Porus]

whats the diff?

AK-1 is powered by 6td2e version. Moreover AK-1 has 3rd gen TI sight as standard, a better muzzle reference system and gun bending sensor, enhanced multi process FCC, improved sensors. Overall, the situation awareness of the Ak-1 has been improved.
@Dazzler sir, which TI has been used? And has there been an improvement in the battle management system as well?

AK-1 (and late model AKs) use SAGEM MATIS TI. Older AKs use Chatherine (2nd Gen).

AK-1 cannot be upgraded to VT-4, at least not economically/ The hull itself has changes, turret is redesigned, basically everything is different. We don’t exactly need to convert AK-1 to VT-4, VT-4 is better but AK-1 is indigenous and more cost effective. VT-4 also has Third Gen TI

whats the diff?

> Ammunition capacity increased to 49 125 mm rounds, 1,500 12.7 mm rounds and 7,100 7.62 mm rounds.
> Advance fire-control system which is now a more advanced multi-process fire control computer
> 3rd Gen Segem Thermal Imagers
> Upgraded Solid State Autoloader bidirectional tray movement and ammo availability info on screen, info on empty and full trays and types of available rounds, bigger carousel for longer rounds, (rate of fire increased to 9 rounds per minute)
> digital driver panel, IBMS, side-skirts, trackpads

AK/VT1, VT1A, VT2, VT4 and VT4A are very different tanks with only similar names. Do not confuse them. Half of VT4, and VT4A motive components are incompatible, and their hulls are different.

VT4A as a newer design naturally gets 201x era electronics, but the main difference is the new hull because of a different engine.

6TD VTs have transverse engine mount, two gearboxes, engine powered hydraulic equipment, and a very unconventional air/cooling system.

V8 and V12 4 stroke diesel engined VTs use much more conventional setup, but at the cost of bulk, and weight.

Upgrading one to another will require way more than hull modification, but also changing hydraulics, cooling, etc.

AK is VT1 not VT4.

 

[Paul2]

AK is VT1 not VT4.

Yes, fixed. Quite a naming confusion.

Add MBT2000, MBT3000 and Type90-IIM to the mix and....

 

[Dazzler]

90IIM was the prototype of AK
MBT2000 was for export with all chinese systems and Malashev powerplant/transmission
Vt1A was the improved version incorporating ideas from AK mixed with Chinese systems

AK1 is an improved VT1A with indigenous systems western optics and Ukrainian power pack/ transmission.

VT4 is a more like 99 for export with drastic changes. PAs VT4 have specific changes and fy4 heavy ERA which makes it the most well protected mbt in this region

Still confused

Thanks sir. The sagem sights are completely indigenous?
