Will those 5 regiments become part of some new IABGs elsewhere or be part of a new mech division as stated by you for Pano aqil side.
Mech Div HQ = Indp Armd Bde + Indp Armd Bde + Indp Mech Bde
These bdes will be raised by shifting existing armoured regiments + new AK-1 armoured regiments.
An IABG was recently converted to IMBG by moving one of the armoured regiments, and assigned a HAT bn as replacement.
Why addition considering we have many older T series tanks to replace too?
Army is increasing number of AC regiments & Al-Zarrar program has resumed, no Type 59/69's are being replaced.
