So now that india has revealed its most anticipated Arjun II tank, indian forums are a buzz. I was reading discussions on Arjun II and indians were going oh uff aaah oomaah aaah..etc Ha ha ha ha ha Alkhalid 1(active) vs arjun 2(under eveluating or developement) Operational Range Al Khalid-1 : 500 km Arjun II : 400km military-today/tanks/arjun_mk2.htm Speed Al Khalid-1 : 72 km/h Arjun II : 58 or 60 km/h Weight Al Khalid-1 : 47 tons Arjun II :68 tons. (in wiki 55t which seems wrong because Al Khalid-1 : VARTA active protection system Unlike , arjun 2 uses NERA enables the tank to take multiple anti-tank munition hits, but also increased the weight of Arjun Mk2 Other webs and indian web shows weight 67 t or 68t deagel/Main-Battle-Tanks/Arjun-Mark-II_a000323002.aspx The tank cant be seen in isolation. Arjuns were for Pakistan. A 68 ton tank with 1400hp engine in the deserts of Sindh and soft, irrigated soil of Punjab? The tank is too heavy to be deployed across the border with Pakistan. It is unable to effectively traverse terrain filled with natural and/or artificial obstacles. Or areas criss-crossed with rivers and canals forceindia.net/PressureontheGround.aspx i seems that if they successed in its manufacturing then they would keep arjun in museum!!! Main Armament Al Khalid-1 : 125 mm smooth bore gun Arjun II : 120 mm rifled gun Payload Capacity Al Khalid-1 : 9 rounds Arjun per minte arjun II : 6_8 rounds/minute Engine (Acceleration is critical to tank in any heavy pitch battle. Tanks that can move FAST and accelerate quickly have better chances of survival and out-flanking their opponents. With power/ weight ratio of just 20...Arjuns heavy weight doesnt come out very helping here. So again, a draw back.) Al Khalid-1 : KMDB 6TD-2 6- cylinder diesel 1,200 hp (with upgrade) Arjun II : 10 cylinder, V-90 turbo charged 1400 hp Power/Weight ratio (critical for superior accelaration) Al Khalid-1 :1200hp/47tonns=25.53 hp/tonne Arjun II :.14000hp/68tonns= 20.53 hp/tonne(currently according to given deta 1500hp engine is would fitted in next five year yet not confirmed) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khalid_tank en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjun_tank I have to spend three days research i hope members would like Admin M faisal fb id bird bird
