The Al-Kahlid isn't the second tank in the world after the LeClerc to automatically track targets. Several major MBTs have had that ability for years. I took that out.

[edit] T-90 link is to a Japanese tank

I think the T-90 link reference in this article is incorrect. It should link to a Chinese tank and not a Japanese one.

i agree. there seems to be some confusion as to what the tank is called, but this is the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_96

The T-90-II is not T-96. Added background info on development of T-90-II/MBT-2000. Adeptitus 23:55, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unique Abilities

This section said that the Al-Khalid is the only tank in the world that can auto-track targets. Then it said only French tanks could do this. So how does this make the Al-Khalid the only tank in the world to auto-track targets? And why is it important to point out how it is vastly superior to the Russian T-90?

The user is most likely pro-Pakistani. It's POV, AFAIK. The T-90 is India's new most up to date MBT, given that the Arjun is going nowhere. Therefore, the Al Khalid is the direct opponent of Indian T-90s. JonCatalan 22:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like something from a promotional press release. What exactly does that mean anyway? That it has a battlefield communications net that keeps track of targets? That the gunsight is smart and changes the point of aim to track a target with the stabilizer? The Al-Khalid is assembled from all foreign components, so it is doubtful that it has anything that is completely unique.

Comparing the Al-Khalid and T-90 makes sense, but one can only say so much about two designs not tested in battle. —Michael Z. 2006-10-28 22:54 Z

The implication that the Al-Khalid can snorkel using GPS to navigate seems a little unlikely to me. Can GPS be received underwater? 145.253.108.22 16:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the GPS antenna is mounted on top of the snorkel. —Michael Z. 2006-12-05 17:52 Z
