Hard kill APS has been offered on VT4 since day one, including on the original (GL-5 APS) So has drone launching capability, both are things nobody will buy with the tank, nor did Pakistan. They’re optional extras that can be purchased and put on later at any time, but are not realistic to buy...
Everything, Because Pakistan is the reason the VT4A1 was created.
Pakistan did two trials for the VT4 and Oplot. In the first trials, the tanks were sent as offered by Ukraine and China, in the second, Pakistan asked both countries to upgrade the tanks according to the PAs specifications before...
To answer your first question, simply because it’s older. Over a decade older to be exact. I never said ZTZ-99A is worst than VT4, only that it’s not more technologically advanced. ZTZ-99A owing to its thicker armor and better design is definitely better protected than the VT4 and retains...
Because The ZTZ-99A is;
1. Not more advanced.
2. Not offered for export.
3. Does not share any parts or design language with existing AK series unlike the VT4, leading to easier logistics and training.
4. Is much heavier and hence not as good for Pakistani terrain.
5. Not offered for export.

Not sure about the 23rd, hopefully so, but we know how PA is, we will see it when they’re ready. They’ve been in serial production for quite a while now actually, and in service too. Though as of yet no work on the SP, but it’s totally a future possibility.
Not every upgrade or modernization needs to be that expensive or in depth. There is already little chance PA will upgrade these M109s, and next to none of an upgrade package that big.
Why do you think they need to be modernized? They don’t need new engines or power packs. Nor do they need...
We do. Most people buy Pakistani snacks and deodorants in Pakistan. But you can get foreign ones off the same shelves, just for higher prices. But due to the sudden increase in petrol prices, the prices for local commodities has significantly increased as well.
The M109L already has a few upgrades over the standard M109A2 it’s based off, including a different gun and GCS system, I’d rate in in between an M109A2 and an M109A5.
The rest should keep in mind that PA has already purchased SH-15, that’s their current modern SP arty, they don’t need to...
Let me put it like this.
The people of Pakistani are not a as poor as statistics and media and other indicators would say. Not at all. Hence the other examples given by members of malls and restaurants being filled.
I’ve lived in Bangladesh for a while myself and tend to stay up to date on the...
Haider and VT4 is the same thing. Exact Number delivered is unknown but my guess is between 120-180 with several hundred more on the way.
311 AKs and 110 AK-1s.
Have discussed this elsewhere, not feasible at all.
First of all, we’re buying oil and wheat from Russia. We will lose both those if...
Meaningless list with plenty of inaccuracies and issues. You can’t just rank tanks made for different terrains like that.
And Nobody would consider the current states of the challenger (challenger 2) or Merkava that good. The KF-51 is not in service, nor is challenger 3. Both wont be seen for a...
Extremely stupid comparison.
Though I’d say yes, not being secular is one of the factors holding Pakistan back from developing, but NOT because there’s an issue with Islam or religion in general, but because we use Islam as a political and manipulative tool instead of as a guide, in the process...
