Remarkable improvement in gun and hull stabilization. I assume it's all electric now instead of electro hydraulic.

BTW, do we know what's the perspective for AK-I mod. to AK-II? I guess, it should be FY-IV and something else?

FY4 ERA overall + VT4 transmission and engine.

FY-IV, CITV, LWRs, possibly a 360 degree camera system and possibly a new engine and transmission if they can figure out how to put it in there.

AK/AK1s will be converted to new standard called AK2

AK/AK1s will be converted to new standard called AK2

So it’s an upgrade program.

Yes. Not new production, an upgrade program to bring the older AKs closer to VT4 standard.

This is very comprehensive. If all these changes are indeed made, it will be one mean machine.

AK1 already shared some subsystems with VT4, including the auto MRS system. The new hull/turret stabilization system onboard AK1 makes sense.

According to mir bajwa we don't even have the fuel for these tanks so why bother with upgrades

Extra storage for 10 additional rounds. Ak-1

To think the DNA came from T-54/55.
