Al-Khalid 2

[Sunny Malik94]

if its true thn it is going to b a major breakthrough in our landforces capability..
btw whn is it going to be launched?

 

[Dazzler]

Time line is not known but development is in advanced stages. My guess is 2013-14 at best.

 

[Arsalan]

All versions of AK, including AK, AK-1 and eventually AK-2 might total around 2000, not just AK-2. Cost is a reason here.

apart from cost the AK-II is still in deelopment process as far as i know. can yo please update if i am wrong!

For some parts of it, with people having panadols.

More than 2000 Al-Khalid 2 will b produced at HIT!!!

but army's requirement is 1,200 tanks.

Perhaps the Al-zarrar may eventually find itself supplanted by an Ak version??

 

[Dazzler]

With the induction of AK-2, the frontline mbt line up of Pak Army will entirely be comprising on AK series! This will be some heavy achievement in my opinion. T-80ud, T-85 will form second line, the back up, AZs, 69MP, 59M will form the infantry support. AZ is a flexible option here as it can support troop concentrations as well as armor support/ backup. AKs and even T-80uds, are an overkill if employed as troop support. Waiting for that time to come soon.

in this economical situation i don't see number will reach even 1500 sir .

sir the Ak-II is be state of the art machine since the existing AK and Ak-I are on par with the best in the world.
this will see Ak-II a long time in actions and thus the production can well be expanded for many years to come,eventually, reaching the quoted figure.
at this point of time, i dont think it will be entirely impossible. a lot depends what the Ak-II actually develops into!

sir we don't have any thing in our hands abut AK-2 till today so i can not even comment abut it .lets wait and see bro whats come our all these numbers systems or capabilities are our thoughts till its come out with official new pics and numbers.

right!

i stated this as we know the Ak and Ak-I and they are as good as the best in the world. this shows that Ak-II, which will be a further development will be further improved. so guess we are safe to assume that it will be a great machine.

anyway, i agree that nothing can be said with confirmation until its out.

I heard that Pakistan tank manufacturing plant is the largest in Asia from chinese media.
Is it really?

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

I would imagine its among the largest; but Norinco or Inner Mongolia First Machine Group of China are MUCH larger

but chinese media said that Pakistan tank factory is larger than china's. maybe refer to factory's scale??
