Kindly read through the VT4 and Al-Khalid thread, both the turret and the engine have been discussed there. The VT-4 is definitely significantly larger. The AK-1 tops out at around 49 tons with ERA. The VT-4 (specifically the Pakistani variant) is closer to 54 tons. The Al-Khalid has needed a...

441 total produced at HIT. (excluding prototypes and other variants made in China). Around 433-435 should still be in service (that’s including the currently 30 or so at HIT waiting delivery) given the two display models at HIT and the training vehicles with the EME corp, unless any AKs have...

Very easy to tell AK1 and VT-4 Hulls apart, notice how much taller the side profile is in the photo. The Hull that reads 120 is the last AK-1 hull. The original order of 220 was reduced to 120 to start Haider production instead, right now the last few AK-1s and VT4s are being worked on in tandem...

Several Welding robots are already present at HIT. A good portion of the work is done by them, but the rest has to be done by human hands.

That was a few years back, sure. Didn’t we all come from there at one time or another? But I never claimed to be an expert then nor do I consider myself one now. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have hands on experience and sources. I am thankful for my opportunities and of course i understand not...

There’s so much wrong in this thread I don’t even know where to start. One sarcastic post about tank production and everyone is suddenly an expert in tank tech and tactics, literally 90% of the stuff posted here is laughable and has been discussed and answered to death in the relevant threads in...

Nope, LCB and SSG are separate things.

It’s not even that old by ship standards and is a replenishment ship, not a fighting vessel. So the age doesn’t even matter. Even China had these in service just a couple of years back. How about you pay the money and get the space to build that new Turkish ship? Or maybe take place the naval...

I think you didn’t read my post properly at all. The evaluation is not done by the colonel in every regiment, it’s done by a specific department within the army who’s sole job is this, what do you think the Quartermaster general does in the army? They approve the list of equipment that can be...

That’s me. So yes :)

The answers are already available in more detail in the relevant threads, I wish people would read them when they have questions. Basically, HQ publishes a list of equipment of each type (weapon accessories, plate carriers, plates etc.) that are tested and cleared for purchase and use, it is...

Definitely and absolutely not how it works, it’s been discussed before how these acquisitions are made in the PA on this forum.

Still not convinced it’s entirely local, could just be BTA-4 made locally, though they’re trying to sell the “locally developed” angle rather hard. Regardless, they’re being made locally, that’s what matters with tank ammo.

Just watched it. Looks basically identical to BTA4, so it probably is that, might have some local changes since they say they “developed” it, but that could just mean local production because they claimed the original APFSDS/T which was just Chinese 125-I produced locally was also “developed” by...

Haven’t watched the video yet. But I’m assuming it’s locally made BTA4 for VT4, AK, T85, T80 etc since it’s poised to become the standard APFSDS for the PA. Only makes sense to make the ammo locally now that the VT4 is being made locally. I’ll confirm later after watching.

Good riddance. PS: his answer above is also not accurate at all. You can find better answers on the VT4 and Al-khalid threads. I again have no idea what he means what what his sources are.

I simply don’t understand why people don’t read the threads they post in to see if their questions have already been answered.

Not worth my time responding to. Sorry mate.

I’m extremely sorry to use worlds like these this, but just how stupid are you? The MTU MB 838 is the Lepard 1s engine, not the leopard 2. They are ENTIRELY different tanks. The AbramsX has not been inducted into the US army at all yet. The Abrams has had no engine upgrades. Nor has the Leopard...

“I don’t see any meaningful modification on AK-1” that’s because you know nothing about tanks (or any other defense tech for that matter) and didn’t bother to read the thread. “If a tank goes under modification it’s main purpose is to upgrade its engine”, really? feel free to correct me if I’m...
