Al-Khalid tank (Type 90-IIM / MBT-2000) Information Pool

For the more knowledgeable people in this forum: Why doesnt Pakistan go for ZTZ 99A or T14 Armata instead of VT4 (according to some reports we're looking at 100)?

Because the resources are finite.

We already have a exact equivalent of the type 99, same weight power package armament profile al Khalid , next tanks should get something with a integrated fire and forget missile so the commander can engage physically one tanks while the gunner fires his LOS missile at another , it would sound all enemy bells and a attack would lose force if it encouters of troop of such tanks,

Actually that's not true the type99 is a about 58 tonnes compared to 46 for the AK. The AKs closest analogy would be the type 96

VT-4 is the export version of ZTZ 99.

What are the possibilities of building a low cost, simplified Al Khalid without the expensive French equipment?

What are the chances of increasing production rate?

Alzarrar shares many technologies from AK including ammo, optics/ thermal imagers, APU, alloys and armor, so essentially it can be called a somewhat simplified version despite the base platform of the former being type59/ 69. Both share same 125mm autofretagged smoothbore.

Ak1 has era holding brackets that the basic model lacks. Also the muzzle sensor besides the doghouse is bigger on Ak1.

Era can be added to any tank and does not request forth level support in the field
