Norinco VT-4 MBT

[Asian.Century]

Possible this tank will be stripped and inducted with Made in pakistan systems, called NEXT GENERATION 'HAIDER TANK' PROJECT.

Israel and usa working on laser tanks which can cut through anything from steel concrete missiles etc if it is future than we must look where we want to be heading

I can tell its impossible in 20 years.Even the US can not solve energy supply problem for combat-use high power laser beam currently.
Even so,our current 3.5gen tanks can engage such tanks by creating smoke to block and relying on millimeter-wave radar to fight back if such tank is true.

It's a mistake Pakistan uses Ukraine gas turbine engine for its tank. VT-4 will rectify the problem with its 1200 hp engine power.

Did you asked our military guys at Ideas that weather we are looking to induct these or not ?

Very likely many component of VT-4 will be used on al kalid II.

This is not AK-2 and its AK-1 which is our Tank and will be shown next year that will be our Main MBT than Al-Haider if we go for it

China newest VT-4 MBT clear for export. Looks very modern, including the RCG on the turret.

When will China start producing this Tank ? And some members claimed Pakistan is testing this are tests complete and what are the results any information ?

This tanks is for export. Production will depend on customer. They put an order and a deposit, production will start ASAP.

Improved Version of VT-4 MBT / MBT-3000

It appears a few design changes have been made to:
1) Headlights
2) Side skirts
3) Turret add-on armor now resembles that of Type-99
4) Grenade dispensers have been relocated
5) New Commander sight from Type-99A2
6) No remote weapons station on this version
7) Added a milli-wave ballistic radar for Active Self Defence System.
8) an Addition of some sort of (optical) sensor assembly atop the turret between the hatches
9) Re-designed undercarriage structure
10) Additional sensors assemblies can be seen in each turret frontal corner (Possibly cameras and/or milli-wave radars for active self-defense System?)
11) an Unknown sensor on the turret (highlighted with green box).

These are the differences I can spot. If you see more, please point them out.

Source in RTA told TAF that the Royal Thai Army signed the contract last month with the undisclosed number of tank and contract value. But the aim is to field a battalion of VT-4.

Eelier, RTA ordered the 50 T-84 Oplot-M from Ukraine to meet the requirement of 200 new main battle tank. But the unrest in Ukraine delayed the delivery.

If RTA satisfied with the Chinese tank, the source said, they will order for to meet all unfilled requirement of 150 tanks.
"Even the VT-4 will be manufacture in China but the contract require technology transfer to Thailand. Defense Technology Institute will be one of the technology receiver"

Delivery is expected in 2 years.

I have serious questions on procurement policy of Thailand but after Pakistani trials I think China would have massive changes and improvements on VT4

Lol， in my opinion, MBT-3000 is the most suitable MBT for soft soil in SE Asia , with a balanced weight and protection.

That is some serious accusation. VT-4 is a great tank. Too much smearing on China military equipment. VT-4 is won based on quality and sophistication. It's control/power is unique and world class.

Chinese modern tank has prove to have outstanding gun stabiliser which Thai Oplat T-84 can't matched.

The Chinese type 96 is one of our worst modern tank in PLA service. Yet is gun accuracy is unmatched by any Russian T-72.

You can imagine the VT-4 which is far more powerful than Type96 tank will be multi-times better in everything.

Your T-99 A2 is great Tank but not this one. This totally failed in our Desert tests.
