Old report, OFB confirmed T-90 indigestion reached 80%.
BTW we make engines parts forT'90 where you guys have to import the entire system from Ukraine.:)
Pakistan doesn't do anything other assembly of parts with AK exactly what it did with Agosta subs.

My foot, the government report is from mid 2016 and the press report is from December 2016 so in 6 months local content increased from nothing to 80%? Don't worry about how we do things in Pakistan we are not perfect but in defense production and acquisition we definitely get better bang for our buck than India. Scorpene deal is total disaster but its a different topic. But before you even get there, worry about Indian military officers stealing food from their soldiers and selling it in the open market.
 
We are already producing T-90(140/year) & Su-30MKI.
Also 124 Arjubs produced.

But these discussion are for another thread.


300 Al Khalid and 21 Al Khalid 1 assembled
:disagree: Indian delusions

I think he was asking this question in good spirit.No need to react everytime to them.
Read the rest of his verbal diarrhea to see how good intentioned he is.

Also he is claiming to know more than his government just to prove Indian superiority lol

In the pic, the insignia provided on the right of tank is of a formation and not of HIT, which would suggest that this AK-1 is in operational use thus its induction status cleared.

And the insignia is of Bahawalpur Corps

How by the end of 2019? 4 more units to be produced

1 in 2017, 1 in 2018, 1 in 2019 and finally 1 in 2020.. if a unit HIT can produce a unit per year.

Production of second unit started in 2015.

3 prototypes were built in 2009 to test the improvements. Shortage of funds during PPP govt & delays in engine contract with Ukraine forced HIT to start SBP in 2013 instead of 2011.
 
The first unit of Al-Khalid 1 MBTs has been formed. The unit has 21 tanks. Four more Al-Khalid 1 units (each with 21 tanks) are in the procurement pipeline. Small batch production started in early 2013.

300 Al-Khalid's were built from early 2000's till the end of 2012.

If 300 AlKhalid already produced then they should upgraded to AlKhalid-1 standard and easily form 14 unit comprising 21 MBT each.
So if that utilized we could see 15 AlKhalid-1 unit.
 
That's one sick looken tank looks outstanding mashallah , great news congrats to PA.
