That second article that you posted mentions that 'Ukraine also provides assistance to Pakistan to modernize T-59s 'Al Zarrar' to the level of T-80UDs.' - How true is this assertion ? Could the Al-Zarars possibly be upgraded to such a level ?

Yes because it's not aircraft where u need a radar dome size to inherit different radars and at the other hand length and weight of alzarrar is same so it has been equipped with 125mm and ERA's of Alkhalid Generation.... History explains about the Alzarrar destroyed in Waziristan operation was hit with Several RPG's yet survived in the end it was destroyed by Heavy IED

you forgot to mention that it was recovered and put back into service. What was validated after the attack was the reliability of armor and systems since no crew member was injured or killed. Increased crew confidence in AZ to a great deal. Regarding the capability on par with T-80, AZ has better thermal imager (Italian Thetis TI) compared to Buran Catherine thermal imager on T-80, same 125mm gun, similar armor and GPS/ INS for navigation along with similar armament, transmission but inferior engine. Overall, it is similar to T-80 in performance which was the purpose of this upgrade.

it is the same size and same caliber, 125mm smoot bore being made in HMC.
they delivered the first batch of 50 back in April 2011 and the second batch is also delivered now.
it can fire guided anti tank missiles along with the normal 125mm munitions!

the qualtiy is said to have been improved, in terms of extreme operating conditions and better life.

1. Since there is a load of info on MBT-2000 here and we in BD know for a fact that our ally PRC is giving us the MBT-2000, I have three questions, if someone can kindly answer:

a. Are we getting the MBT-2000 Upgraded version?
b. Are Chinese engineers loading in some of our peculiar requests?
c. Is the turrent mounted 12.7 mm HMG remotely controlled?

2. Any other relevant info/update will be highly appreciated.

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

Any information on the ammunition and penetrating power of the main gun?
Does it use HEAT or APFSDS DU rounds as main ammunition?
Also the base armour thickness any estimate?And the quality[generation] of the ERA package if any.

BD are getting a variant of MBT 2000 according to their own specifications so Pakistan is not a party in that deal, rather China. Specifications can be found on BD military forum regarding other details. AK is a different mbt than mbt 2000 having only external similarities.

MBT 2000 was a joint-venture between Pakistan and China (or did Pakistan enter only at the Al-Khalid Stage ?); so would Pakistan be getting a share of the profits if the MBT 2000 gets sold to BD or any other country in the world ?

Thank you. Can you tell me about the turret mounted HMG? Is it remote controlled or the gunner has to come out to fire?

On AK, it is remote controlled but on MBT 2000/ VT-1A, gunner has to come out to fire it. It was one of major concerns for Peruvians because they wanted the remote version. Russian NSVT MG that allows remote firing, can be mounted on MBT 2000 if BD asks China.

China already had a tank called Type 96, Pakistan was intrested in that tank,but wanted different systems and engine as the chinese ones didn't satisfy the need of PA. Thus came Al-Khalid, a tank "based" on Type-96/MBT-2000. PA participated in the development of Al-khalid and every system installed inside the tank was as per PA requirment. Our contribution ended right there.

The tank that china is selling it to BA is the same Type 96, but the systems will be chinese, OR as per Bangladesh army requirment.

So to answer your question
No, Pakistan wont be getting any share.
