Pakistan to buy Pantsir-S1 and T-90 tanks from Russia
May 2019 Global Defense Security army news industry
POSTED ON THURSDAY, 02 MAY 2019 13:41
Rattled by the recent surgical strike carried out by the Indian Air Force jets on terrorist training camps in Balakot, Pakistan has decided to buy Russian-made Pantsir S-1 gun-missile air defense system, Indian Defence News reports.

Pakistan is now planning to send a delegation to Moscow to finalise the deal and also have an arrangement for training defence personnel to the Pantsir system. "Pakistan is buying the latest and most modern weapon system to counter India. Pakistan is eyeing to procure tank, anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missile system from Russia", an Indian Defence Ministry official told Zee News.
Pakistan had already drawn up a plan to also buy 360 T-90 tanks from Russia to bolster its combat power along the border with India, apparently in the same MS version that form the backbone of some Indian armoured regiments, which makes Moscow the “winner” by selling the same tank to both enemies.
Pakistan is trying to forge a deeper defence corporation with Russia, which has been India's 'all-weather' ally and shares a defence relationship that goes back to the Soviet era, Indian Defence News comments. Pakistan trying for closer ties with Russia is evident from joint military exercises along with defence deals which have triggered concerns in New Delhi.
In another effort to revamp its armoured fleet, Pakistan has decided to buy nearly 600 tanks with Chinese help. At present, over 70 % of Pakistani tanks have night-time operational capabilities, which is a concern for India. In the aftermath of the growing international pressure on Pakistan to reign in Islamist groups active on its soil, China has decided to come in support of its 'all-weather ally'. China will sell long-range CH-4 and CH5 Rainbow drones to Pakistan. The CH-4 can carry up to 400 kilograms of explosives and can stay in the air for 40 hours. It can cover a range of up to 5,000 kilometres. Rainbow CH-5 can carry up to 1,000 kilograms of military load and stay in the air up to 60 hours. The drone can fly at up to 17,000 feet.
In February 2019, the Indian Defence Ministry had approved the acquisition of 54 Israeli Harop drones for the Indian Air Force which can crash into high-value enemy military targets to destroy them. The IAF has an inventory of around 110 of such drones which have been renamed as P-4. But Pakistan did not have any long-range combat drone until now.

No... what have you heard...
By the way - here is some news about Kaplan, the FNSS/Pindad JV Tank. Now with a new APS developed by FNSS called 'Pulat'. And who (what) is Harimau?
[/MEDIA]
Harimau is tiger in Indonesian. Kaplan is tiger in Turkish.
Interesting naming idea. The German Tiger I (Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger a.k.a Sd.Kfz. 181) back in WWII was also multiple decades ahead of its time - in suspension design/power-pack (interleaved wheels) as well as armament. Disc brakes in early 1940's - quite novel.
I'd be delighted if our Army decided to buy this in numbers and set up local assembly. Is Harimau comparable to the Chinese VT-4 in size/firepower?
how many leopard 2 do indonesia have currently?Chinese VT-4 is much bigger with 52 ton weight while Harimau/Kaplan MT only weight 32 ton. About fire power I really dont know bro, Harimau has high pressure 105 mm cannon while VT-4 has 125 mm cannon. Harimau can also fire Anti Tank Guided missile (Falarick 105). The tank is made using module design so that make the tank is easier to be repaired.
Indonesian army has promised to induct this tank gradually, starting with 20 tanks. We have 400 old tank that needed to replace as soon as possible. I hope Bangladesh is interested with the tank.
