I am not sure if this is valid any more. Ak1 and vt4 are betterT-80UD is still top of the line that PA has.

1at AD should replace it ASAP then, why would an elite division of PA still field it?It was years ago

My point exactly, its not the right time to replace it.Because it’s also not a bad tank. It’s comparable to the original Al-Khalid.
The Al-Khalid-1 and VT-4 use third generation systems for basically everything, UDs are using mainly 1st and 2nd gen equipment (as in their FCS, ERA, Thermals and so on.)
I’d say these UDs are about as capable as our original AKs. However their armor and firepower is still very good.
Comparing a tank from the 90s to tanks that came after 2015 is unfair, it was the best of its time, but now it needs upgrades, which it does seem to be getting.
Of course not, I don’t think anyone suggested that, it will remain potent for over a decade even without upgrades, especially considering what India uses. We just meant it’s no longer the best in PAs service.My point exactly, its not the right time to replace it.
Something like Israeli Achzarit with the firepower of BTR-T.That would be a very cool concept, maybe a small number or IFV/Tank hunters can be created from the platform too, like the Russian Terminator system on T72 chassis. But again, just wishes

A tank needs to be compared against facing an enemy tank to show that its still potent ? Surely there must be other factors too why 1st AD fields UDs.As for fielding it in 1st, it will make short work of Bhishmas even without upgrades hence no need to shuffle. Regardless of what anyone says, UD is more than enough for 90S.

I would think the same reason 9sq wasn’t allocated the block-52s. The regiment knowledge must be built around the UD and the ecosystem familar enough to not want to disturb the effectiveness of that force.A tank needs to be compared against facing an enemy tank to show that its still potent ?
