HIT - Heavy Industries Taxila

[Samurai]

Was watching this video from Defence Dynamics India channel on Youtube where they are comparing Pakistani Al-Khalid vs Indian T-90 Bhisma. Obviously they conclude that T90 is superior based on:

1) Composite Layered Ceramic ERA Protection vs Modular Composite Armor + ERA in AK
2) Active Electronic Countermeasures vs Passive Protection in AK
3) Electro-Optical Jammer/Infrared Dazzler vs Thermal Smoke Generator and IR-Reflective Coatings on AK

Although they themselves are admitting that this is not a huge gap in terms of capability but their "critics" call Al-Khalid as outdated. My pov is that they haven't compared it with AK-1 and the new VT-4/Haider and competed their mainstay MBT T-90 to earlier version of Al-Khalid.

These types also compare Block 1 Jeff with Rafale to makes their viewers feel good and generate more views. Not worth the time watching let alone discussing it

Found this document, looks like it might be the 155mm artillery gun they talked about a few years ago: https://quwa.org/quwa-premium-excerpt/pakistans-hit-develops-in-house-155-mm-artillery-gun-2/

Yes. The high quality of metal components mentioned in this tender are the key to the quality of the gun. Pakistan has been unable to produce such high quality metal parts for use in such armaments

I think last I saw was a tender in 2024 for 2 x set of Muzzle Velocity radar and 2 set of another similar component both intended for indigenous 155mm Gun.

You also posted some of them going south. A year or two back...

I believe that MVR was for small arms testing

The new MODP yearbook mentions it as well and looks like it's a joint project with Saudi Arabia
