He is a title holder, doesn't throw wild claims in to the air. Stay calm and stop acting like a spoilt brat. Details will come.

Why Tejas and Arjunk production not started yet.

We are already producing T-90(140/year) & Su-30MKI.
Also 124 Arjubs produced.

But these discussion are for another thread.

So apparently U are implying that whatever U do is total indigenous stuff while Pakistan only assembles knockdown kits?

What are the main difference between Al-Khalid-1 and Al-Khalid ?
Can Al-Khalids be upgraded to Al-Khalid-1 standard?

No apparent change in physical shape but new armor plating with possible remote control machine gun, better night vision and improved engine.

Pakistan signed contract with Ukraine for delivery of 110 Tank engines back in late 2013. Due to economic constraints and power crisis, production of Al Khalid slowed down and almost stopped during PP era. Ukraine also suffered from security issues due to war on their borders & poor political balance.

Those 110 Engines are now delivered and Pakistan is set to produce 110 Al Khalid 1 in coming years (already producing). On IDEAS we signed MOU with Ukraine for more 200 Al Khalid 2 engines.

We are looking to mass produce 300 more Al Khalids while 320 are already produced totaling 620+ Al Khalids in near future.
Along with Al Haider tank project, this is very amusing to see Al Khalid production is back.

Excellent news ............ @Sarge @DESERT FIGHTER @Dazzler @Bilal Khan (Quwa) have a look here
