How does Katchan Armour defeat a T90. Did the T90 drive in to it really fast. Any case maybe India should spend money cleaning it streets instead of tanks. I know people that grew up in the worst slums in South Africa that where disgusted and appalled by India. So the fact you bragging about the size of the cock on your tank is pathetic. Now go back to work fixing people's windows.
@@shashankshekhar9819 What you're planning on having in the future is irrelevant. What matters is what you have today because if you were to go to war today then you would fighting with less than ideal equipment and the enemy isn't going to be terrible obliging to that fact. And don't boast that you could buy better equipment but haven't because then you're boasting that you haven't done the sensible thing. What a stupid retort.

Eh, just because it's not a top-of-the-line MBT, doesn't mean it's bad. Depending on the strategic situation a T-55 or Centurion can still be a decisive weapon, since any tank is leaps and bounds better than no tank. It's then up to the General staff to ensure that your tanks are in the right place at the right time.
@youcometome9 The IED's are pretty huge. Some a over a 100 kgs of Mortar rounds or high explosive. NATO has some of the best armoured tanks because of that. But I agree that they have not been hit by APFSDS projectiles since 3rd world nations don't have it.
@Dika Vinci That's true. However no one believes them until a miracle story of a M1 Abrams surviving a T14 Armata (still not in service) APFSDS projectile comes in a propaganda video. That is how the perception of a tank's ability plays out, the only tanks we trust are those battle tested ones. Forget the testing done on homeground against far more challenging conditions. It's more opinion than fact. Even you know that.

@Vladimir Putin not exactly my company, but a partner. If everything goes right then maybe with A9 or A10 version I could get a 130mm, but it is still the question if a 130mm or 140mm. If it becomes a 140mm then I can't take it.
@@TheTeKuZa??? :D ??? I think your are not up to date. I personally don't know what new caliber the USA want to develope, I didn't even knew that they want that because I also don't know if the M1 Abrams turret can take a bigger gun the 120mm But back to the topic. First of all not germany/France are developing a 130mm gun, Germany or to be more specific Rheinmetall defences is developing that thing on there own. I believe there are also no puplic information on what gun they will take in the end right now because France wants a 140mm gun. There was a attempt to use 140mm as an upgrade for the 120mm caliber lead by france/great Britain and Germany as a partner. The project in itself was never finished, Germany just used a longer gun barrel for the 120mm which made the 120mm as strong as they predicted the 140mm would be at the time. Also one problem would be that basically all leopards would have needed a new turret plus autoloader if the used one staged ammunition. The only tank that I know can take a 140mm is the south Korean K2 black Phanter which was developed at the time the 140mm caliber was a hot topic, but because Europe dropped it they also just took the L/55.
Ironic how this video actually manages to point out the plus points of the Arjun tank which all those biased Indian "analysts" never mention at all because of being busy with fallacy and misinformation to make the tank look better. Imagine if the Indians used the experience from the Arjun to make a newer, better tank that was designed specifically to meet the requirements of Indian armed forces from the start. They can take the good aspects of Arjun like the fire control system and battlefield management systems while improving stuff like adding a better smoothbore gun, higher mobility and reduced weight.
They tried to do it and made TankX. It didn't get selected by the Indian army for some reason, iirc it was because it exceeded the maximum weight requirement
@@historyandconspiracy6173 but it was on T72 chasis ...and due to funds it was stopped. And about new Arjun mk1A watch this the source of war. And seriously this guy is serious dude. ua-cam.com/video/iW9Ka3Y8qMk/v-deo.html
Actually there is a program for Arjun Mk2(not to be confused with Arjun Mk1A or NGMBT) with significant weight reduction using HNS and aluminium wheels, a smoothbore gun, better crew protection. Probably also with a 3 man crew but its a toss up since Indian Mechanized forces are pretty disposed towards 4 man crew. A 1800hp engine is on work and will probably be online in 2 years. So the problem with mobility is solved.
Well India mainly uses Soviet built Upgraded models of T90 and T72s , Arjun was the first indegeniously made tank, hope they fix the issues in the next models
na dude, the deign flaws from the foundations meant that upgrading is pretty much not worthy as redesign the how thing yet considering the corruption and etc i doubt they can redesign and build a serviceable tank within 30 years
Wrong. India builds its own T-90 and they have a different armour than Russian or Soviet T-90s. Not saying that its superior to latest Russian T-90 models, but its superior to the earlier ones.
@Zayed Haroon the oplot meme strikes again. You know it will take a long time for them to deliver them. I mean a just one battalion worth would be great but Boi Ukraine is not what you call pumping them out.

More like the doctrine. We Indians know Arjun is stupid. We use them to target soft armours, like trucks and APCs. For combating enemy armour, we mainly use the Jaguars loaded with CBU-105s, K9 Vajra TDs, mechanised infantry with ATGMs, and artillery. You don't use tanks to destroy tanks.
@Rana Ali Akhtar Alam Khan That doesn't say anything. That Arjun tank has laser warning system which means it can detect and diverse the rounds in other way. That's a big advantage. Old school peneration rounds work but I doubt that if you hit that sight
@Rana Ali Akhtar Alam Khan You're copying and pasting the same bullshit rhetoric on multiple threads regardless of context. I hope it makes you feel better. Enjoy the street shitting, you insecure zealot.
Being Indian I appreciate an unbiased review of both tanks and I think Red has it. Arjun is a maiden effort at indigenization and to proclaim it the better is stupid.. It has its share of shortfalls and needs to improve with successive iterations. As for Al Khalid, I did expect it to have certain things going it's way with Chinese assistance but ultimately cost factor will always play a role in determining its prowess.... Thanks Red. Others who call both tanks shitty need to remember that no country produced world class tanks in one go, especially given today's parameters. Secondly, it also depends on the crew on both sides. Indo Pak wars have had amazing tank battles, all thanks to the hardiest men manning them.
@@SA-dk5zx That is true. I expect Arjun to be similar in role to challenger as a defensive command control tank with t90 and t72 as general purpose tanks to augment and go to where heavy tanks can't go.
Good comment. See what my point is that India has the money all they have to do is do something to keep their educated people in their country and make them help their country. (Most of the graduated student leave India and go to west) India military has a pretty decent budget, in comparison, Pakistan gives a dime to their army(Yeah I called, the government of Pakistan needs to balance some stuff and the army needs to be given a much larger budget). So, both tanks did with what they had i.e. Al-Khalid excelled with the low budget while Arjun Excelled with many requirements by the military.
I saw it in the news that Arjun tank is still a prototype and the army doesn't want it on the field because of it's overweight and it is unreliable on mountain warfare.
@@theindo-germanguy8817 News across the world is propaganda these days. Want the truth? Use the internet and official websites. News says "Arjun is still a prototype"? Then google whether its in Indian Army's ORBAT. When you do, you'll find that:- 43rd Armoured Regiment and 75 Armoured Regiment in 140 Armoured Brigade, 12th Infantry Division, XII Pivot Corps, Southern Command, Indian Army are both units of 62 Arjun Mk1 each. Next you'll find Official Government of India press release (at PIB) stating the placement of order of a further 118 Arjun Mk1A tanks. In total, that is 242 Arjun tanks that have been ordered by Indian Army. That is more than the number of Challenger 2 tanks in British Army service. Hence proved, Arjun is not "just a prototype".
No hills obviously...just the himalayas. Jokes aside, we use the lighter T-90 Bhishmas for that, Arjuns have been put in the jaisalmer sector, a desert region where most of the tank battles between India and pak occur.
If they are evenly matched, then the real difference will not be on paper, but in the training, skills and tactics used. The best tanks, but with bad tactics and training can lead to a loss.
I mean, let's be honest, if you took a t90ms, an m1a2 Abrams, and a Leo 2a7v, these three tanks could probably work together to shred dozens of these half-assed tanks...
Arjun is Good for Desert Fighting condition. In a Trail done by Indian army Arjun Mk1 out performed Russian T-90 in many aspects.. Though Arjun have Higher weight due to its Heavy Armour, but Over all pressure distribution in soil is Kuch lesser compared to T-90. Don't forget Indian Army and Airforce always Favoured for Russian made Weapons.. If DRDO made 45 Tons Tank, they will say they need a Heavier tank with Better protection..
Someone said it was back up but got taken down again. I have not seen it back up yet so either it's still being reviewed or the said poster was mistaken.
I just dont see how a 300mm penetration shell can kill the Al-Khalid from the front, and with that much weight its very difficult to flank and attack it from the sides.
@@1KosovoJeSrbija1 Its possible to fire APFSDS from a rifled gun. It fires a DRDO CLGM a.k.a. SAMHO The 530mm penetration is LOS thickness, not thickness of plate.
@@aliarham6343 Tanks from 2nd World countries aren't exactly known for having the best armor. And RPG's can kill numerous targets dependent on the ammunition used.
Arjun is more like a cardboard shield. Way too many exposed areas. Al Khalid would probably die to any other major MBT but it could definitely hold up to Arjun since 200mm penetration is super under powered.
One big advantage for Team-AK is numbers, we have hundreds of these things ready for war. The Arjun tank is just another case of perpetual developmental hell.
India has T90s, thousands of them. India definitely has more tanks and better ones. But terrain and logistics are not on their side. Neither are other factors like their internal position right now with millions of protests and hundreds of separatist movements, plus China. Besides, AKs aren’t Pakistan’s best tanks, those would be T80UDs and the T84s they’re being upgraded to.
@Zayed Haroon India seems to have over 250 of Arjun MBT (two variants), over 1600 of T-90 variants with an additional order that would put them over 2000 of T-90 variants, and 2000+ T-72 variants. Pakistan seems to have 350 of Al-Khalid MBT, 320 T-80 variants, 500 Al-Zarrar, and under 1000 older variants of Chinese origin. Even with Pakistan adding 600 T-90s, I do not understand how the MBTs comparison comes close. That's the same across the board it appears. IFV, APC, artillery, etc.
@Zayed Haroon do you think Russia will risk their relationship with India for a very politically unstable country I don't think so .also that deal.was cancelled and Pakistan is currently looking at Chinese tanks
I think Al-Khalid is better. The infrastructures of both countries are not really good, and IMO is far important to have tanks able to be transported than having a better FCS which wouldn't be usable if the tank cannot be transported to the combat zone. We also have to put them in the infantry support role, where I would really prefer the Al-Khalid tank for its variety of HE projectiles and ATGMs. No, I'm not pakistani, I'm a spaniard trying to give my unbiased opinion about these tanks (just in case)
6:08 this biggest disappointment is that Arjun is equipped with 120mm Rifle gun where most modern MBTs r equipped with Smoothbore guns expect UK Challengers2 which is another crap itself. The biggest postive is that we at least made it by our self....not like doing paint job which most of there equipment r done
Wait the thing you missed was pmc Those can penetrate around 510to 520 mm We all know that arjun is heavier and under powered but those issues are being solved
Love that you made the video, but there’s a little thing I’d like to correct (I’m not one of the salty ones, just want to share the little knowledge I have too. I enjoy the content). I have driven the AK and have been around it during Pakistani military exercises. The thing about AKs armor needs some explanation; The Pakistanis have a few hundred AKs that have either Full ERA or Varta+Hull ERA which belong to the “ready” regiments. (Strike regiments as the Pakistanis call them). So they wouldn’t necessarily have to start installing ERA on hundreds of tanks when a war starts, they would have a few ready while they put it on the others, the reason for this is probably costs and availability. So in a fight it would have that ERA. (I have pictures if you want to see them.) All AKs and even the Al-zarrars Pakistan has do have laser warning receivers. LTS786P made by GIDS. (You can find a link to that on their website). Newer AKs (the one in the video when you were talking about it’s mobility) have third generation thermals for the gunner from SAGEM. Pakistan also has the Chinese 125-3 projectiles. Not sure about availability.
As a Pakistani my advice to you is not to do any review on any Pak-Indo stuff cuz both countries get salty really quick and it has a history behind it to get salty. on the lighter note (people who play tank games will know what i am saying): Russian tanks are OP, they need a nerf xD Anyway I love your review cuz I love tanks and lastly, i apologize on behalf of all Pakistani who may write a bad comment.
I visited India recently for their defence expo in Gajarat. The spokesperson at the arjun exhibit pretty much explained that while they now have the option to do so, there's no point in installing a smoothbore gun on it as only a few hundred units of the tank exist and their military is planning to use HESH rounds + barrel launched ATGMs(Israeli LAHAT or an Indian one which was just tested) till a new tank is developed.
Technically, there is a point to it. Not only would it save up on cash by using already existing weapons/ammunition, but a single-piece 125mm ammunition being developed would greatly aid in any future modernizations/upgrades to it's T-72 and T-90 tanks. Quite honestly, I am shocked no country that operates the 125mm smoothbore has done this.
No one's gonna talk about how Arjun can't actually penetrate the front of Al Khalid while Al Khalid has a pretty good chance of penetrating Arjun. Also i'm Vietnamese and T-90s reign supreme hahahahahah
Yeah but as Red Effect has pointed out, you don't need to fully penetrate a tank to take it out of action. It's a situational advantage in general and the crew of the Al-Khalid would have to carefully make use of it.
@@TheNicestPig Arjun has tested DRDO FSPADS Mk2 which can pen bit more than 530mm (actual range classified), enough to pen frontal of an Al Khalid from 2 km away. Plus, Al Khalid's 600mm round can only go through the hole in Arjun's armour, which is the gun sight. Other areas are as well protected as a T-90 (meaning a 600mm pen isn't enough). Not to mention the fact that Arjun can launch an 8 km ATGM from its main cannon. TBH I wished they hadn't mucked up Arjun's development as much as they did, but against Al Khalid its sufficient.
@@death_parade keyword being "tested", the round isn't in service. The gun sight, AND the gun shield, which together makes up a significant portion of the turret profile. That's a pretty big problem.
@@TheNicestPig The round is entering in service for T-90 and T-72 already. Orders have been placed to a private Indian company. It won't take long before it enters production for Arjun as well. It will take longer for Pakistan to get out of the current economic, social and political strife its in right now. Meaning that by the time Pakistan is ready for war next, India will have that round in service across its tank fleet. Agree about the gun sight and mantlet problem. Its a big weak spot. A weak spot that is as weak as Al Khalid's entire frontal armour (forget 30 degrees sidecheeks or the hull front). So for Arjun, its a weak spot on an otherwise strong armour while for Al Khalid its no weak spots because the entire frontal armour is weak.
Al-Khalid is in mass production. Pakistan has 600 Al-Khalids on order. Arjun on the other hand has never entered full scale production. That said, Al-Khalid is Pakistan's 1st experiment with Tank production. The next iteration of Al-Khalid block-2 will feature 1500hp engine, redesigned turret system, upgraded FCS, datalink and software.
1st experiment model 🤣🤣it just a pakistani version of chinese type 96IIM (MBT 2000) its export to other foreign countries by the name of VT 1A , pakistani has only developed its 125 mm barrel and its sabot round in this tank after few years, this tank is no longer in production since ukraine is not manufacturing the engine anymore
Basically the main motive of the production of Arjun tank was to counter abrams or to just hold in the front of abrams as in 1973 war it was it was a report that as Pakistan have got a f- 16 they can also get abrams from USA
Going forward the advantage goes to the Al-Khalid by a large margin as the upgrade for it already exists in the form of the Chinese VT-4 with superior firepower, fire control, protection, and mobility. Existing production line can just switch over to the VT-4. Upgrading the Arjun to match it would be no simple matter. That 120mm rifled gun is unique to India being a one piece ammo design. It therefore cannot take advantage of advances in 120mm smoothbore or British rifled ammo. Plus being too heavy for Indian rail and bridges means there's no way to improve protection without upgrading infrastructure itself.
m1A1abrahm tank is of 68 ton category and was able to move better in iraqi desert than t72 also riffled guns provide a revolving effect to projectile also arjun weight is due to kanchan armour and era panels which could defeat even israeli armour piercing fin stabilized anti tank round also arjun featured plane type telescopic suspension allowing it to uniformly distribute its weight to match speed arjun pitted against t90 tank was able to withstand five rounds directly fired at it with point blank range also the youtuber is unaware that arjun could fire heat hesh israeli lahat missile plus indian developed tandem charged depleted uranium round

It has a new turret that features the gun and tech of Type96 tank. It also got some new composite and reactive armor. So in terms of firepower it can definitely take on even the toughest opponent since the 125mm is one of the most powerful guns, but overall it is probably not that effective. Its ergonomics is probably also quite poor since they upguned the tank so much.

140 Armoured Brigade, 12th Infantry Division, XII Pivot Corps has two Arjun tank regiments will lead India's IBGs in the Thar Desert. Contrary to popular beliefs, Arjun has a lower ground pressure than T-90.
This video reminded me of a man named arun khetrapal who was 21 years old and with single tank, shot down 7 pakistani tanks. Im not disrespecting anybody's country. Plz no hate comments.
Al-Khalid I - Upgraded variant with Ammunition capacity increased to 49 125 mm rounds, 1,500 12.7 mm rounds and 7,100 7.62 mm rounds.[3][6] Incorporates modifications made to the fire-control system, sensors, IBMS, side-skirts, track pads, auto-loader (rate of fire increased to 9 rounds per minute), Ukrainian Varta electro-optical jammer (disrupts laser rangefinders, laser designators and anti-tank guided missile tracking systems), Sagem third-generation thermal imagers and improved air conditioning system first batch already inducted
Interesting points but few observations. 1. Arjun's new ammunition has addressed the low penetration issue (since 2016) 2. Arjun's ground pressure is 0.84 kg /sq m compared to 0.9 kg/sq m of al khalid despite being heavier. 3. Arjun power to weight ratio is 24hp/ton compared to 26 hp / ton for Al khalid in real world not that big a difference. 4. Both have max speed of ~70km/hr 5. Arjun has got hydro-pneumatic suspension compared to torsion bar in Al khalid In terms of mobility both are near matched but, for first hit probability and accuracy on the move arjun is way superior.
@@icedwhitechocolatemochafra9851 t80 is crap , t90 is over rated though lepord2 is in another league. BTW 'Krauss Maffei' provided design assistance in Arjun project so one can see Leopard 2 inspiration in it. Any one claming it best is as dishonest as some one calling it shit. It's a decent enough modern tank, issue with indian forces is old and huge russian hardware like t72 which is difficult to replace at once and of course the Soviet doctrine using Soviet machines. With modernization both needs to be ditched. (And that will always include logistic changes for any new machine, equally true if india imports Abraham's or leopard 2 itself)BTW Arjun has better creature comfort and safety than a t90. It performed equal or better than t90 on most count even when t90S was tested with relaxed params and arjun with harsh params, that itself speaks volumes of it. BTW T90 is a decent machine but not something as good as it's modern western counterparts.
Both tanks are simply make over of existing tanks, it is like saying Leo 2 is fairly new. No, they are heavily UPGRADED and those upgrades are new, granted, but they are reaching the peak of their development
@@armicv691 How are they reaching the peak of their development? Both tanks have upgraded variants in the pipeline. Also, just because something looks like something else, doesn't mean it is it.
@@abramar123 Al-Khalid and Arjun are built from the ground up, yes, but they are built using technologies from aging designs. Their performance right now is equivalent to a tank that was developed before them (T-72B-ish) and borderline obsolete when their first upgrades were introduced. Also T-72Bs are currently used by a lot of third world nations. The chassis are already overweight and difficult to upgrade without major financial means, of which neither Pakistan nor India can afford; and without affecting performance severely, to have NERA armor matching current more advanced tanks so their armour can take more than one hit.
@@armicv691 I will admit that neither the Al-Khalid or Arjun are remarkable tanks, but you are delusional, if you think tanks with modern FCS, Battle management systems, modern composites, modern ERA and modern engines are comparable to performance to a tank from 1985, that had shit gunner optics, no CITV, legacy composite armor and ERA, slower autoloader, less durable gun, and the crew ergonomics of a hamster ball.
"reliable tank sources"? Maybe. But he does get a lot of stuff about Arjun wrong. For example: missing the fact that it has a cannon launched ATGM that gives it a massive advantage in firepower as it outranges Al Khalid by more than 4X. And then he makes the erroneous statement about how Arjun has difficulty going over soft ground when reality is that Arjun has lower ground pressure than a T-90.
Great video. Really enjoyed it. BUT, I literally threw my headphones off and almost turned the vid off during that triggered part in the beginning.. that sound was very loud
It seems to me that the easiest thing to upgrade would be the ammunition, so there's an easier upgrade path for the Arjun II. I'm sure Israel could help them create a better AFPDS round
Arjun was the first indian indigenous tank and it turned out to be a failure even the mod of india,army and drdo accept this fact . Arjun was never made to be the best tank in the world it was a study project to test our capability as the times moves on we would be producing in house FRCV(s) to replace our 2700 t72, that would most likely overcome all the short comings of our arjun and be comparable to western counterpart
I think the India tank is better if you consider the terrain it would be used in which is largely Arid Rajasthan, which I remember from 1971 War (just) an Indian General saying it was good tank country. i.e it can cope with heavy armour as there are few rivers to cross or soft ground. I assume Red Effect is Russian and therefore swamps and rivers are a major concern, which explains why Russian tanks are lighter than British Tanks which have mainly seen combat in Arid terrain since 1945, actually since 1941, in Europe they mainly use Shermans in 44/45. So 68 tons is not that big a concern for India whereas poor protection of the Al-Khalid is for Pakistan. From a Russia perspective the Challenger Megatron is a unthreatening tank, even though in defence it would probably win against even the T14 Armata, it would be too heavy in Russia with all its swamps and rivers to cross.
Alkhalid is at best a T72++ and Arjun MK1 might be an early generation Leopard. The main strength will be the electronics sight and range finders mounted on them. India have western, israeli and indigenous systems while Pakistan can have only Chinese and indigenous ones. P.S : Bith of them doesn't have any active protection due to costs.
Biggest disadvantage of Arjun tank is overweight and low speed which makes it harder to fight against Chinese tanks in higher platform, now i see why india making new zorawar light tank. Arjun tank is like a fused version of Russian and German tank
So, there is one point we need to consider: both tanks have flaws in their construction. Al-Khalid was made for 80's or 90's wars scenarios, when even the M1 Abrams or the Leopard 2 have no good fire control systems compared to today's. Arjun have serious flaws, like the side of the gunner periscope have almost no armour protection or the ammunition loaded on the rear side of the turret have none protection against ammunition wreck, if the enemy hit this spot, the entire crew will die due ammunition explosion. Personally, I do prefer Arjun, even I don't like it. The capability of commander's periscope turn 360 degrees can track multiple targets. The gunner can concentrate his attention to the main target and the commander can turn his independent periscope, searching for the next enemy. It's increased area of protection by ERA and it's modern composite armour can protect the crew from frontal hits better than Al-Khalid's. But, in terms of fire power, Al-Khalid is far away, having a better penetration of its APFSDS and more reliable ATGM, the Ukrainian Kombat, with its incredible 950mm of penetration.
It's basically superior firepower and mobilityvs Superior protection and detection system. This is basically a loop of debate. Arjun has gone for protection and advanced system to protect from tank rounds and AGTM at the cost of mobility and firepower which is opposite of how Pakistan gone for their tank.
The new Al Khalid 1 was made a few months ago. The have improved it's weaknesses so I suggest you make a video on it. Also a comparison with the Arjun maybe? Keep up the good work.
Get a fact right that ARJUN ERA was completely developed by drdo. They didn’t reverse engineer the Russian one. You would have got this information wrong because in late 1980s ARMY asked drdo to improve Russian ERA on t72 tanks.
Get a grip lmao, you want us to believe a bunch of street shitters in call centers engineered a functional tank without stripping down and copying a existing one? XD
@@anomaly_echelon7994 you just used stereotypes/slurs instead of logical arguments and do some research on what your own country has copied from others
Eh,Arjun is a heavy tank,in fact the heaviest in the world,We don't need it now as this tank can't be deployed in the Himalayas,We have recently gotten a 'ZORAWAR' tank(also designed by DRDO) into testing,it's a light tank which will be used for Himalayas,So currently,The main focus is on new indigenous vehicles like a third aircraft carrier(which is in construction) , the HAL AMCA and much more! The Arjun tank project was started in around 1990,it's not necessary now to focus much on it,We did researched the PCB 120mm shell which is very strong,that might work on Arjun 😎🔥
Looks like Arjun is the only tank with a Muzzle Reference System. I take it Arjun has a NATO standard gun? Probably means it's going to be considerably more accurate than than Al-Khalid.

Eh, just because it's not a top-of-the-line MBT, doesn't mean it's bad. Depending on the strategic situation a T-55 or Centurion can still be a decisive weapon, since any tank is leaps and bounds better than no tank. It's then up to the General staff to ensure that your tanks are in the right place at the right time.
@youcometome9 The IED's are pretty huge. Some a over a 100 kgs of Mortar rounds or high explosive. NATO has some of the best armoured tanks because of that. But I agree that they have not been hit by APFSDS projectiles since 3rd world nations don't have it.
@Dika Vinci That's true. However no one believes them until a miracle story of a M1 Abrams surviving a T14 Armata (still not in service) APFSDS projectile comes in a propaganda video. That is how the perception of a tank's ability plays out, the only tanks we trust are those battle tested ones. Forget the testing done on homeground against far more challenging conditions.

I think your are not up to date. I personally don't know what new caliber the USA want to develope, I didn't even knew that they want that because I also don't know if the M1 Abrams turret can take a bigger gun the 120mm
But back to the topic. First of all not germany/France are developing a 130mm gun, Germany or to be more specific Rheinmetall defences is developing that thing on there own. I believe there are also no puplic information on what gun they will take in the end right now because France wants a 140mm gun. There was a attempt to use 140mm as an upgrade for the 120mm caliber lead by france/great Britain and Germany as a partner. The project in itself was never finished, Germany just used a longer gun barrel for the 120mm which made the 120mm as strong as they predicted the 140mm would be at the time. Also one problem would be that basically all leopards would have needed a new turret plus autoloader if the used one staged ammunition.
The only tank that I know can take a 140mm is the south Korean K2 black Phanter which was developed at the time the 140mm caliber was a hot topic, but because Europe dropped it they also just took the L/55.

Ironic how this video actually manages to point out the plus points of the Arjun tank which all those biased Indian "analysts" never mention at all because of being busy with fallacy and misinformation to make the tank look better.
Imagine if the Indians used the experience from the Arjun to make a newer, better tank that was designed specifically to meet the requirements of Indian armed forces from the start. They can take the good aspects of Arjun like the fire control system and battlefield management systems while improving stuff like adding a better smoothbore gun, higher mobility and reduced weight.
They tried to do it and made TankX. It didn't get selected by the Indian army for some reason, iirc it was because it exceeded the maximum weight requirement

Actually there is a program for Arjun Mk2(not to be confused with Arjun Mk1A or NGMBT) with significant weight reduction using HNS and aluminium wheels, a smoothbore gun, better crew protection. Probably also with a 3 man crew but its a toss up since Indian Mechanized forces are pretty disposed towards 4 man crew. A 1800hp engine is on work and will probably be online in 2 years. So the problem with mobility is solved.
Well India mainly uses Soviet built Upgraded models of T90 and T72s , Arjun was the first indegeniously made tank, hope they fix the issues in the next models
na dude, the deign flaws from the foundations meant that upgrading is pretty much not worthy as redesign the how thing yet considering the corruption and etc i doubt they can redesign and build a serviceable tank within 30 years

I think Al-Khalid is better. The infrastructures of both countries are not really good, and IMO is far important to have tanks able to be transported than having a better FCS which wouldn't be usable if the tank cannot be transported to the combat zone.

Love that you made the video, but there’s a little thing I’d like to correct (I’m not one of the salty ones, just want to share the little knowledge I have too. I enjoy the content). I have driven the AK and have been around it during Pakistani military exercises.
The thing about AKs armor needs some explanation; The Pakistanis have a few hundred AKs that have either Full ERA or Varta+Hull ERA which belong to the “ready” regiments. (Strike regiments as the Pakistanis call them). So they wouldn’t necessarily have to start installing ERA on hundreds of tanks when a war starts, they would have a few ready while they put it on the others, the reason for this is probably costs and availability. So in a fight it would have that ERA. (I have pictures if you want to see them.)
All AKs and even the Al-zarrars Pakistan has do have laser warning receivers. LTS786P made by GIDS. (You can find a link to that on their website).
Newer AKs (the one in the video when you were talking about it’s mobility) have third generation thermals for the gunner from SAGEM.

@Zayed Haroon agreed my brother
I visited India recently for their defence expo in Gajarat.
The spokesperson at the arjun exhibit pretty much explained that while they now have the option to do so, there's no point in installing a smoothbore gun on it as only a few hundred units of the tank exist and their military is planning to use HESH rounds + barrel launched ATGMs(Israeli LAHAT or an Indian one which was just tested) till a new tank is developed.
Technically, there is a point to it. Not only would it save up on cash by using already existing weapons/ammunition, but a single-piece 125mm ammunition being developed would greatly aid in any future modernizations/upgrades to it's T-72 and T-90 tanks. Quite honestly, I am shocked no country that operates the 125mm smoothbore has done this.
No one's gonna talk about how Arjun can't actually penetrate the front of Al Khalid while Al Khalid has a pretty good chance of penetrating Arjun.
Also i'm Vietnamese and T-90s reign supreme hahahahahah
@Anshuman Mukherjee I mean, the Mk.1 APFSDS shell has a penetration of 300mm at 2km so...
Yeah but as Red Effect has pointed out, you don't need to fully penetrate a tank to take it out of action. It's a situational advantage in general and the crew of the Al-Khalid would have to carefully make use of it.
@@TheNicestPig Arjun has tested DRDO FSPADS Mk2 which can pen bit more than 530mm (actual range classified), enough to pen frontal of an Al Khalid from 2 km away.
Plus, Al Khalid's 600mm round can only go through the hole in Arjun's armour, which is the gun sight. Other areas are as well protected as a T-90 (meaning a 600mm pen isn't enough).
Not to mention the fact that Arjun can launch an 8 km ATGM from its main cannon.
TBH I wished they hadn't mucked up Arjun's development as much as they did, but against Al Khalid its sufficient.
@@death_parade keyword being "tested", the round isn't in service.
The gun sight, AND the gun shield, which together makes up a significant portion of the turret profile. That's a pretty big problem.
@@TheNicestPig The round is entering in service for T-90 and T-72 already. Orders have been placed to a private Indian company. It won't take long before it enters production for Arjun as well. It will take longer for Pakistan to get out of the current economic, social and political strife its in right now. Meaning that by the time Pakistan is ready for war next, India will have that round in service across its tank fleet.
Agree about the gun sight and mantlet problem. Its a big weak spot. A weak spot that is as weak as Al Khalid's entire frontal armour (forget 30 degrees sidecheeks or the hull front). So for Arjun, its a weak spot on an otherwise strong armour while for Al Khalid its no weak spots because the entire frontal armour is weak.
Al-Khalid is in mass production. Pakistan has 600 Al-Khalids on order. Arjun on the other hand has never entered full scale production.
That said, Al-Khalid is Pakistan's 1st experiment with Tank production. The next iteration of Al-Khalid block-2 will feature 1500hp engine, redesigned turret system, upgraded FCS, datalink and software.
1st experiment model 🤣🤣it just a pakistani version of chinese type 96IIM (MBT 2000) its export to other foreign countries by the name of VT 1A , pakistani has only developed its 125 mm barrel and its sabot round in this tank after few years, this tank is no longer in production since ukraine is not manufacturing the engine anymore

Basically the main motive of the production of Arjun tank was to counter abrams or to just hold in the front of abrams as in 1973 war it was it was a report that as Pakistan have got a f- 16 they can also get abrams from USA
Not really, India wished to diversify production away from Russia. It is the Indian idea of a Leopard.

Going forward the advantage goes to the Al-Khalid by a large margin as the upgrade for it already exists in the form of the Chinese VT-4 with superior firepower, fire control, protection, and mobility. Existing production line can just switch over to the VT-4.
Upgrading the Arjun to match it would be no simple matter. That 120mm rifled gun is unique to India being a one piece ammo design. It therefore cannot take advantage of advances in 120mm smoothbore or British rifled ammo. Plus being too heavy for Indian rail and bridges means there's no way to improve protection without upgrading infrastructure itself.
That is why India almost never uses them. T90s are the dominant ones.
m1A1abrahm tank is of 68 ton category and was able to move better in iraqi desert than t72 also riffled guns provide a revolving effect to projectile also arjun weight is due to kanchan armour and era panels which could defeat even israeli armour piercing fin stabilized anti tank round also arjun featured plane type telescopic suspension allowing it to uniformly distribute its weight to match speed arjun pitted against t90 tank was able to withstand five rounds directly fired at it with point blank range also the youtuber is unaware that arjun could fire heat hesh israeli lahat missile plus indian developed tandem charged depleted uranium round

There is a new 1500 HP diesel powered engine planned for Arjun which is being integrated. It would be great if you could assess the performance improvement with that CVDRE engine .
Fair Assessment. Indian here. Both tanks are just about OK & Average and work in progress for India & Pakistan. We have a long way to go to reach Leopard 2A7, T14 Armata, m1a2 sep v4 standards. For Arjun, why we are using a 120mm rifled barrel gun ? And 300mm AFPSDS is not even Cold War quality ! For Al-Khalid, its effectively a Pakistani copy of a Chinese Copy of a Soviet design tank.
Arjun is just better
Nope.
The Al-Khalid may be a little bit more effective and practical but the Arjun wins because it looks much more cooler.

Señor RedEffect, I've an idea for your next video! I once saw a Chinese Type 59 in Tanzanian service, and it appears to be somewhat modernized. It would be cool to make a video about it and to see if it would fare well in modern combat (I doubt they could take on a modern MBT tho... Or could they?)
It has a new turret that features the gun and tech of Type96 tank. It also got some new composite and reactive armor. So in terms of firepower it can definitely take on even the toughest opponent since the 125mm is one of the most powerful guns, but overall it is probably not that effective. Its ergonomics is probably also quite poor since they upguned the tank so much.

I think in areas like the north, the Al Khalid would have an advantage, since it'd be able to move about in the harsh terrain easier, also crossing the hundreds of bridges in those regions, however the Arjun could possibly perform better at night or during dust storms, thanks to its in built Thermal Vision
140 Armoured Brigade, 12th Infantry Division, XII Pivot Corps has two Arjun tank regiments will lead India's IBGs in the Thar Desert.
Contrary to popular beliefs, Arjun has a lower ground pressure than T-90.
Arjun is primarily deployed in the Rajasthan border.
This video reminded me of a man named arun khetrapal who was 21 years old and with single tank, shot down 7 pakistani tanks. Im not disrespecting anybody's country. Plz no hate comments.
Al-Khalid I - Upgraded variant with Ammunition capacity increased to 49 125 mm rounds, 1,500 12.7 mm rounds and 7,100 7.62 mm rounds.[3][6] Incorporates modifications made to the fire-control system, sensors, IBMS, side-skirts, track pads, auto-loader (rate of fire increased to 9 rounds per minute), Ukrainian Varta electro-optical jammer (disrupts laser rangefinders, laser designators and anti-tank guided missile tracking systems), Sagem third-generation thermal imagers and improved air conditioning system first batch already inducted
Interesting points but few observations.
1. Arjun's new ammunition has addressed the low penetration issue (since 2016)
2. Arjun's ground pressure is 0.84 kg /sq m compared to 0.9 kg/sq m of al khalid despite being heavier.
3. Arjun power to weight ratio is 24hp/ton compared to 26 hp / ton for Al khalid in real world not that big a difference.
4. Both have max speed of ~70km/hr
5. Arjun has got hydro-pneumatic suspension compared to torsion bar in Al khalid
In terms of mobility both are near matched but, for first hit probability and accuracy on the move arjun is way superior.

Any one claming it best is as dishonest as some one calling it shit. It's a decent enough modern tank, issue with indian forces is old and huge russian hardware like t72 which is difficult to replace at once and of course the Soviet doctrine using Soviet machines. With modernization both needs to be ditched. (And that will always include logistic changes for any new machine, equally true if india imports Abraham's or leopard 2 itself)BTW Arjun has better creature comfort and safety than a t90. It performed equal or better than t90 on most count even when t90S was tested with relaxed params and arjun with harsh params, that itself speaks volumes of it. BTW T90 is a decent machine but not something as good as it's modern western counterparts.

Both tanks are simply make over of existing tanks, it is like saying Leo 2 is fairly new. No, they are heavily UPGRADED and those upgrades are new, granted, but they are reaching the peak of their development
@@armicv691 How are they reaching the peak of their development? Both tanks have upgraded variants in the pipeline. Also, just because something looks like something else, doesn't mean it is it.
@@abramar123 Al-Khalid and Arjun are built from the ground up, yes, but they are built using technologies from aging designs. Their performance right now is equivalent to a tank that was developed before them (T-72B-ish) and borderline obsolete when their first upgrades were introduced. Also T-72Bs are currently used by a lot of third world nations. The chassis are already overweight and difficult to upgrade without major financial means, of which neither Pakistan nor India can afford; and without affecting performance severely, to have NERA armor matching current more advanced tanks so their armour can take more than one hit.
@@armicv691 I will admit that neither the Al-Khalid or Arjun are remarkable tanks, but you are delusional, if you think tanks with modern FCS, Battle management systems, modern composites, modern ERA and modern engines are comparable to performance to a tank from 1985, that had shit gunner optics, no CITV, legacy composite armor and ERA, slower autoloader, less durable gun, and the crew ergonomics of a hamster ball.

Israeli are a bitch brother
Hope drdo could work something out with Germans and French
Arjun was the first indian indigenous tank and it turned out to be a failure even the mod of india,army and drdo accept this fact . Arjun was never made to be the best tank in the world it was a study project to test our capability as the times moves on we would be producing in house FRCV(s) to replace our 2700 t72, that would most likely overcome all the short comings of our arjun and be comparable to western counterpart
He wanted views from India and Pakistan without hurting their sentiments
I think the India tank is better if you consider the terrain it would be used in which is largely Arid Rajasthan, which I remember from 1971 War (just) an Indian General saying it was good tank country. i.e it can cope with heavy armour as there are few rivers to cross or soft ground. I assume Red Effect is Russian and therefore swamps and rivers are a major concern, which explains why Russian tanks are lighter than British Tanks which have mainly seen combat in Arid terrain since 1945, actually since 1941, in Europe they mainly use Shermans in 44/45. So 68 tons is not that big a concern for India whereas poor protection of the Al-Khalid is for Pakistan.
From a Russia perspective the Challenger Megatron is a unthreatening tank, even though in defence it would probably win against even the T14 Armata, it would be too heavy in Russia with all its swamps and rivers to cross.
he's serbian
What about the cost comparison though? Research and unit price is important too for fielding them
Alkhalid is at best a T72++ and Arjun MK1 might be an early generation Leopard. The main strength will be the electronics sight and range finders mounted on them. India have western, israeli and indigenous systems while Pakistan can have only Chinese and indigenous ones. P.S : Bith of them doesn't have any active protection due to costs.
Biggest disadvantage of Arjun tank is overweight and low speed which makes it harder to fight against Chinese tanks in higher platform, now i see why india making new zorawar light tank.
Arjun tank is like a fused version of Russian and German tank
So, there is one point we need to consider: both tanks have flaws in their construction. Al-Khalid was made for 80's or 90's wars scenarios, when even the M1 Abrams or the Leopard 2 have no good fire control systems compared to today's. Arjun have serious flaws, like the side of the gunner periscope have almost no armour protection or the ammunition loaded on the rear side of the turret have none protection against ammunition wreck, if the enemy hit this spot, the entire crew will die due ammunition explosion.
Personally, I do prefer Arjun, even I don't like it. The capability of commander's periscope turn 360 degrees can track multiple targets. The gunner can concentrate his attention to the main target and the commander can turn his independent periscope, searching for the next enemy. It's increased area of protection by ERA and it's modern composite armour can protect the crew from frontal hits better than Al-Khalid's. But, in terms of fire power, Al-Khalid is far away, having a better penetration of its APFSDS and more reliable ATGM, the Ukrainian Kombat, with its incredible 950mm of penetration.
It's basically superior firepower and mobilityvs Superior protection and detection system. This is basically a loop of debate. Arjun has gone for protection and advanced system to protect from tank rounds and AGTM at the cost of mobility and firepower which is opposite of how Pakistan gone for their tank.
Arjun: I am better!
Al-Khalid: No! I am better!
Leopard: amateurs
Arjun: What was that, punk?
Leopard: AMATEURS!!!
Arjun can fire Lahat atgm which has a range of 8 km it doesn’t matter about firepower?
You do know that the Al Khalid has a active protection system so most ATGMS would be usless, and the Lahat is VERY slow
If the Khalid crew stops for a lunch break, the Lahat might make it in time.
Arjun has a newly developed 1500 hp engine and automatic transmission.
