In 2003, UAE showed interest in buying Al-Khalid main Battle Tanks, Mushak trainers and various other defence items. Pakistan exported Al-khalid MBTs and other defence items to UAE in 2003 to onward.

Reference: Pakistan Intelligence, Security Activities & Operations Handbook, Int'l Business Publications, 2002, p-224

The reference is picked up from a 2002 year book and gives news of 2003.

Never materialized. They went for upgrading M-84s instead which is rather sad as despite upgrades, they lack many capabilities that Alkhalid could offer them.

mate, the ones you see in the pic are not ERA, just composite plates for additional frontal protection. ERAs are usually installed prior to an emergency and the reason being the short shell life of the explosive material.
