The TM-02 Khanjali is a tank featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Doomsday Heist update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The tank appears to be based on the PL-01 Polish light tank, evident by the overall shape and purpose.
The Khanjali is depicted as a modern light tank with a similar build to the Rhino Tank, but using what appears to be a stealth body. The front of the hull uses various modern lamps on the centre and on the edges, while the top area assumes a wedge-shaped profile with access hatches for the driver and a front occupant. The sides have various armour panellings covering most of the tracks, with the rearmost ones having "TM-02 Khanjali" markings. The rear end has vertical modern lamps and vented sections on the outer sides, while the centre has two access doors for the rear occupants. The turret has a sighting unit on the right-hand side, four radar compartments and what appear to be four sensors on each "quarters" of the turret.
Unlike the Rhino, the Khanjali features fully-rendered interiors; the front compartments have several instruments and display screens derived from vehicles like the FH-1 Hunter and the Akula (though with no dials mapped on these due to the turret-perspective view), while the rear section has seats and textures similar to the back section of the Titan and contains two wall-mounted Railguns for decoration, as well as two electronic periscopes with control sticks on them.
The Khanjali features a wide array of colour combinations: the primary one is applied on the entirety of the hull and the turret, while the secondary one is applied on the side armor panellings and the aforementioned radar compartments. A turret/tertiary colour is also available for the handles of the front hatches and the mountings of the remote weapons. It uses two continuous tracks that are identical to the ones from the Rhino Tank.
The vehicle is equipped with a tank cannon and a remote machine gun turret resembling a Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine gun. It can be also modified to have two remote grenade launchers (which seem to be based on the concept weapons depicted in the real-life iteration), while the main cannon can be replaced with a Coil railgun cannon with similar features to the hand-held version, albeit having seven large coils.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Vehicle
The Khanjali performs, as can be expected, of that of a tank. It moves slow like the Rhino Tank, but seems to have a slightly faster speed than it. It has great off-road capabilities due to its traction and appears to be slightly more nimble than the Rhino in terms of quick turns. Performance upgrades can also improve the overall handling of the tank, as it can accelerate faster.
The tank is powered by two diesel engines, and the engine sound is the same as the ones from the Phantom Custom and the Hauler Custom.
- Armour
The Khanjali has the same durability as the Rhino in stock form. However, armour upgrades can prove to be extremely beneficial for the vehicle, allowing it to survive nearly twice the amount of explosives than the Rhino. One large advantage of the Khanjali over the Rhino is that it can reliably crush and drive over cars without them exploding due to the lighter weight, which won't cause self damage and allow the Khanjali to be used without having to worry about explosions from other cars crushed under the tank.
- Weaponry
The Khanjali has access to a variety of weapons that are assigned to each occupants, making a devastating vehicle when fully occupied:
- Tank Cannon: Its primary armament by default is a standard tank cannon operated by the driver, which performs similarly to the one found in the Rhino, but has lesser elevation range (between -10 and 20 degrees), making it difficult to fire at aircraft. Its sound is primarily identical to the Rhino's, but the sound of the propellant gases is more noticeable.
- Railgun Cannon: The vehicle can be upgraded with a heavy Railgun cannon, which can be charged to shoot a projectile much faster and farther than the standard one. A successful railgun cannon charge requires at least one second, which increases the launch speed of the projectile by 19.9%, and also roughly doubles its effective range.[citation/verification needed] The weapon produces a more electric sound upon charging the rails, and causes a stronger variation of the Railgun's firing sound. Again, it is operated by the driver.
- Machine Gun: The front seat passenger has access to a remote machine gun on top of the tank's turret, which performs similarly to most mounted machine guns found in vehicles like the Insurgent Pick-Up. It has an elevation range of between -20 and 30 degrees, making it an ideal choice against low-flying aircraft.
- Grenade Launcher: The vehicle can be modified with two remote grenade launchers operated by the rear passengers, which provide greater firepower against armoured targets and greater range of about 150m (492ft), at the cost of having limited fire rate and ammo (30 rounds per launcher). They have an elevation range of between -20 to 30 degrees, and the rounds will explode half a second after hitting the ground, similar to the Pipe Bombs and the grenade launchers available on the Dune FAV and the Barrage. When holding down the button to switch weapons, the grenade launcher is set into an "auto-targeting" mode, where it tracks any nearby NPC or vehicle up to a distance of about 140m (459ft) and within a 90-degree coverage, relative to the launcher's front (meaning any target past 45 degrees from the side will simply be ignored). However, the launchers have a tendency to fire at the last position of the target rather than predicting where the target will go, and they do not seem to adjust their angle for targets at longer distances, resulting in a lower effective range of around 60m (197ft). In first person, they seem to have a slightly higher elevation angle, able to hit most low-flying aircraft when adjusting the trajectory arc properly.
- The vehicle has the option for installing Proximity Mines, which behave the same as any remote explosive and are operated by the driver. These mines are a bit stronger than their hand-held counterparts and are also limited to five active mines. Caution should be taken when using it, as it can potentially damage or destroy the vehicle.

Video
GTA Online - TM-02 Khanjali -The Doomsday Heist-
Prominent Appearances in Missions
Grand Theft Auto Online
- A Khanjali is the main focus of the setup mission "Khanjali", to which players have to infiltrate Avon Hertz's weapons test site at the Thomson Scrapyard and deliver it to a drop-off.
- The stolen Khanjali can be used during the initial assault on the Mount Chiliad underground site in The Doomsday Scenario. If not used, it will be sold for extra earnings after the heist. The same applies for the Barrage.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Can be bought from Warstock Cache and Carry for $3,850,350 or for $2,895,000 (after completing the "Khanjali" setup mission as the heist leader), provided the player already owns a Facility.
Trivia
- A Khanjali is a type of double-edged dagger with a single off-set groove on each face of the blade.
- As stated above, "TM-02 Khanjali" is a near exact copy of "PL-01 Concept" from its real-life iteration. Both even have a level scaling diagram on their front panels.
- The vehicle would have originally been named "Panther" at some point during development. Evidence of this is the file names of the vehicle parts that appear in the Facilities when the vehicle is destroyed several times.[1]
