For this edition of our weekly review, we have selected three topics and these ones
0:12
are the Pakistani Army has taken delivery of new Al Khalid-1 main battle tanks, Serbia
0:18
plans to acquire Chinese FK-3 air defence missile systems and China delivers HJ-12 Red
0:25
Arrows missiles to Algeria. On the 28th of July, the Pakistani Army officially received the new modernised version of its
0:33
homemade Al Khalid main battle tank. This new tank is designated Al Khalid-1
0:38
The Al Khalid was designed and manufactured in Pakistan by the local company Heavy Industries Taksila
0:44
The development was based on the Chinese Type 90-2, manufactured by Norinco
0:49
Hence it uses components from China and Ukraine. The tank is powered by a diesel engine and transmissions supplied by the KMDB Design
0:57
Bureau of Ukraine. It entered service with the Pakistani Army in 2001
1:02
New features of the Al Khalid include a new fire control system, which is now a multi-process
1:07
fire control computer with up to 7 km effective identification range. The engagement range is also extended to 3.5 km
1:16
Other improvements concern the digital driver panel, side skirts, trackpads, digitally controlled
1:21
loader with ammo availability info on a screen, a larger carousel for longer rounds etc
1:27
It has an increased rate of fire with 9 rounds per minute. The tank is also fitted with a Kranium Varta electro-optical jammer that disrupts laser
1:36
range finders and also laser designators and anti-tank guided missile tracking systems
1:41
Sajem third generation thermal imagers and an improved air conditioning system. According to information released by the Balkan Security Network on the 2nd of August, Serbia
1:51
could acquire Chinese-made air defence missile systems called FK-3, the export version of
1:56
the HQ-22. In 2019, in the Serbian state defence company Jugoimport annual business report, there was
2:04
a mention that an important foreign order for the procurement of Chinese FK-3 was on
2:10
the agenda. The FK-3 is an export version of the HQ-22 long-range air defence missile system
2:17
It implements effective multi-target tracking and interception against a saturation attack. A fire unit equipped with a guidance radar provides interception against 6 targets with
2:27
12 missiles. Multiple fire units under the control of command and coordination vehicles expand the multi-target
2:33
interception to 36 targets with 72 missiles. The FK-3 weapon system can not only operate independently but also complete missions in
2:42
cooperation with other air defence systems. It has large kill airspace ranges from 5 to 100 km at an altitude from 50 to 27,000
2:51
m with high adaptive and anti-jamming capacity and several anti-jamming measures. For many years, China has been exporting military types of equipment to Algeria
3:03
China has exported namely its AJ-12, dubbed Red Arrow 12, a third generation of portable
3:09
anti-tank guided missile weapon, to Algeria. The AJ-12 was unveiled during the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in November 2014
3:20
The AJ-12 is the third generation of man-portable anti-tank guided missile weapon that has a
3:25
fire and forget capability. The missile is equipped with a new seeker that uses a non-inductive thermal imager with
3:31
a wide CCD camera for day and night combat use. The missile can also be fitted with an infrared imaging seeker for all-weather day and night use
3:42
The CCTV version has a maximum range of 4,000 m, while the infrared version has a maximum
3:47
range of only 2,000 m. The warhead of the missile uses a tandem-shaped charge design with an estimated penetration
3:55
capability of up to 1,100 mm of rolled homogeneous armour after penetrating explosive reactive armour
4:03
When facing non-armour targets, bunkers and fortifications, the missile can be fitted
4:08
with either high explosive or thermal effect warheads. Three topics have retained a particular attention from our visitors on Navy-recognition.com

these last days. Plasan started construction of naval armour protection for BAE system type 26 frigates
4:25
PT Kaputra Mitra Serjati launched two more PC-40 patrol boats for Indonesian Navy
4:30
New Zealand Navy has commissioned its new tanker and sustainment vessel, Her Majesty
4:35
New Zealand Ship Aotearoa. The Israeli-based vehicle manufacturer Plasan officially announced the start of type 26
4:43
frigates' armour production, a key milestone in the armour delivery. The ships will be built by BAE Systems in Glasgow, Scotland and are considered among
4:52
the world's most advanced combat ships. The first type 26 is due to enter service in the mid-2020s
5:00
During the last few years, Plasan has been developing armour systems to address the protection
5:04
requirements of modern maritime armoured vessels. In the past, Israel Armour Specialist Plasan has also developed, designed and delivered
5:13
three unique armour shipsets for the new US Navy DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyers
5:20
These armour elements are often constructed during the shipbuilding process. According to news published by Jane's website, Indonesian shipbuilder and shipyard PT Palindo
5:31
Marine launched two more Periklas PC-40-class patrol boats, ordered by the Indonesian Navy
5:38
The two ships were launched on July 27, 2020, under the name of KRI Posepa and KRI Eskolar
5:46
It is the 10th and 11th PC-40 boats that will enter in service with the Indonesian Navy
5:53
Indonesia continues to invest money for the modernisation of its naval forces and strengthen
5:59
its maritime capabilities. According to a tweet published on July 29, 2020, the Royal New Zealand Navy has commissioned
6:06
its new tanker and sustainment vessel, Her Majesty New Zealand Ship Aotearoa, at Devonport
