Understand one of the reasons of Western /NATO modern MBTs being larger and heavier than Russian or Chinese MBTs is due to the ammunition stored in a separate compartment whereas this is not so for the Russian /Chinese MBTs. Therefore lives of the crew in case of a hit/ fire inside the tank are at greater risk in these tanks.
Would appreciate knowing what is the case with Al-Khalid? Can anyone from the Armoured Corps clear this issue?
In Alkhalid, ammo is stored in the autoloader (22 rounds), while the rest are stored in armored ammo bins. Even most western mbts store ammo within the fighting compartment. The M1A1, A2 is only mbt that stores them in separate blowout panels. However, chances of an incoming ammo hitting and ammo cook off is quite minimal as they are quite well protected from the outside.
Thailand royal army had stopped inducting the Oplot M, cause they find out severe quality problem with it. They had signed a deal with China for supplying 50 units of VT4. Anyway, Ukraine is a good friend of China, good luck!For 49 tanks at 200 million, you got yourself a good deal at just over $4 million per mbt. Thailand is also not happy with the battery and had some other minor complains about the weapon system. The major issue is that you lost a customer that had planned to buy the mbt in big numbers.
Thais were eventually looking for 200-300 pieces. It's a shame you lost a lucrative contract.

Active protection hard kill systems is what we may need. I am not sure how effective these can be in a full blown war with myltiple enemies engaging you and the tank coloumn being accompanied by friendlies but there seem to be other option really. Hit to kill systems will minimize that risk to accompanying friendlies but not eliminate it completely.Well the devastation that has caused on the tanks including leopards & Israeli upgraded Sabra M-60 tanks in the Syrian conflict should make us think in having better armor capabilities or atleast start researching in options to better counter ATGMs.
