The polish PT-91M tank (modernized T-72M1)is in my opinion one of the best MBT's in the world, an order from Malaysia (48 tanks) proves this. The PT-91M i very cost effective, for about half the price of an M1A1 you get a 125 mm smoothbore D-81TM main gun (2A46), laser warning reciever (SS1C "Obra"), radiation-absorbing paint, reactive armor, 1000 hp diesel engine, effective FCS (French SAGEM Savan-15, an automatic loader and new optimised ammunition. The PT-91M weighs only about 46 tons. It won against the Type 88 K1A1, T-80UD, Vickers Mark (Dont now Model). |
