India’s T-90 Bheeshma MBT vs Pakistan’s Al-Khalid MBT
The Indian Army has operated the Russian export model of the T-72 built under license as the Ajeya Main Battle Tank for decades. India has struggled in upgrading these tanks in the numbers it requires for current demand by the army.
The Arjun Main Battle Tank is a indian made MBT, that has been under development for some years and in service in low numbers. Its larger size and weight compared to the AJeya has caused logistical problems in transporting the tank.Combining the above problems with Pakistan and China producing new tanks, it was decided to purchase the export version of the T-90,The T-90S Main Battle Tank.
T-90S were purchased in 2001 under the designation T-90S Bhishma and further purchases of an upgraded version designated the T-90M Bhishma planned to equip a staggering 20+ armoured regiments in the Indian Army.
Whereas ,The Al Khalid main battle tank was jointly developed by China and Pakistan. It is a further development of the Chinese Type 90-II tank. In the late 1990s it was marketed for export as the MBT-2000.
Pakistan acquired production license of this MBT. The Al Khalid is named after the legendary general Khalid ibn al-Walid. First deliveries of this tank were made in 2002. The Al Khalid is currently in service with Pakistan in large numbers.
