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

[Signalian]

VT4 uses a Chinese engine. Ukrainians would never do so, they are desperate for money. like, really desperate

Regarding heavy engines produced in Pakistan, there is one production facility, Pakistan Locomotive Factory, but these are locomotive engines. A new facility should be added for military vehicles engine development.

Beginning to wonder what happens when push comes to shove. If Ukrainians stop supplying engines, will HIT or HMC manufacture its own. Turkish are trying for their Gunship.

Then again, which engine will VT-4 use when inducted?

VT-4 engine can never fit into Al Khalid. Its a bigger engine with automatic transmission, gear box build into it.

Al Khalid need a major redesign to fit the Chinese engine.

Wasn't there an MoU signed with Ukraine regarding cooperation in engine development? What happened to that?

VT-4 is 100% all component made in China tank. The engine is full auto transmission unlike Ukraine who until now still not able to do so. The engine made by Ukraine are all manual transmission. That included AK-1.

Interestingly, PA was not satisfied with the performance of driver's steering wheel in Alkhalid. The Alkhalid-1 now has tillers instead of the steering wheel. Adjacent to it sits the digital driver panel

Or the Chinese can design an engine for AK. They should have something in place for Mbt2000, which is what AK is based on.
