That's the proposed Leopard upgrade by Aselsan. Quite unlikely

More than 300 inducted total 650 planned. Next model would be AK-1 and 2.
No we never had any problem with Ukraine not before and not even now for AK- engines even at IDEAS 2016 Pakistan and Ukraine signed a deal fro Co-production of engines for nee AK's.
and signed a $600 million agreement for 200 Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building (KMDB) 6TD-2 1,200 hp diesel engines for forthcoming al-Khalid 1 MBTs.

For engineering support is Pakistan still relying on the Norinco WZ 653/M88A1 ARVs for Al Khalid?

Seen that Norinco do have a Type 90II chassis based ARV recently.

So..........why are we still basing our MBTs on Russian/Chinese tanks? NATO tanks are better (Leopard A2 series is bae). We should at the very least try to put in a 120mm smoothbore gun on our next series.

@Dazzler is the 125mm gun indigenous? or does pakistan import them, if so from where?
