As far as I remember they reach 70km/h or 72km/h top speed (which was one of the requirement for their mbt) and a decently good 25km/h reverse speed with offroad top speed of 45km/h with the new transmission. Which also allows them to neutral steer. http://web.archive.org/web/20110719065442/http://www.renk.newsfactory.de/cms_media/objekte/266-ESM%20350.pdf

They also had custom made composite armor which no one knows what’s inside except for the manufacturer and the Malaysia Army.
Their gunner is equip with Sagem Savan 12 meanwhile the commander is equip with Vigy-15 system ( I guess it’s call savan-15 as well) Their system and BMS are all NATO spec
Their autoloader carousel is also armored plated cover
the rest is as OP said, obra-3 laser warning, gen 3 erawa-2 and such. I got to visit their military exhibition a few years back. Apparently they are no longer getting Bosnian shells (In huge stockpiles). No they didn’t tell me which or from who are they using currently for their new ammo, I guess they found better stuff.
here’s the PT-91M sight comparison with other MBT PT-91M sensor comparison - Album on Imgur
here are some of it’s mobility shown at here and here with some action

Now this is some good meat.
how do you know it’s “minor improvement” when the composite armor is heavily custom made? The sparrows in Gliwice were chirping that Malaysia didn’t want either CAWA or fiberglass/STEF
