Pakistan Army in KSA?
What is there going on?
And for what do you need Al-Khalid MBT's, when you have and can afford state of the art tanks?
Saudi Arabia can easily get advanced MBT's around the world with TOT...
I think this is a strategic deal with no importance to the technicalities...

It's probably only for the SANG. Many reasons. Diversification, mutual cooperation, possible local production etc. Usually such deals are also followed by other deals. Let us see what happens. Could also just be empty politically words but somehow I doubt it this time around.
True but SANG is in no need of state of the art battle tanks. If this enhances mutual cooperation, strengthens local production etc. then I don't see anything wrong with it. Also if it can help a long-standing and very close ally as Pakistan then it is a win-win situation aside from leading to other deals.

Correction.
Pakistan first produced.
* MBT-2000
* Al-Khalid
* Al Khalid 1
Al Khalid II is the 4th upgrade in this program. AK was tested by the KSA and it passed the tests in desert mobility and firepower.
100 rounds were fired during mobility tests at variable speeds which all hit their target with an accuracy of 99%. It also passed the night fighting tests.
AK-1 was built according to Saudi demands, AK-II is an upgrade, it will beat the T-90S in all major aspects.
Janes is a trustworthy source. Fingers crossed.
Yes, I think this time may be deal finalized because KSA is changing its foreign policy (Iran & USA) and 2 delegation visit in the a month ( Foreign Minister & Deputy Def. Minister)..... Another point is that KSA want Pakistan to be a part of GCC Force which they have plan and most of the GCC Military Officers are trained from Pakistan Institutions......
T-90?, ohh stop, your Al-Khalid are equal to upgraded T-72's.
@AUz
SANG is part of the Saudi Arabian armed forces but they have their own communications and chain of command although they are becoming absorbed with the RSAAF.
Overall I agree. But I have to say that an Israeli-Saudi Arabian conflict is not realistic right now. In fact I don't think that any of the regional players will engage in a conflict with Israel as long as they are on American/Western welfare and protection. It would not be wise.
