مفاوضات سعودية باكستانية حول الدبابة «الخالد» والطائرة «جي إف-17 ثندر»

تجري المملكة العربية السعودية وباكستان مفاوضات حول اتفاقية شراء معدات عسكرية، تتضمن تصدير باكستان لعدد غير محدد من دبابات «الخالد»، إلى الرياض، فضلاً عن طائرات «جي إف-17 ثندر»، الصينية- الباكستانية. وتشكل هذه الصفقة جزءاً من اتفاقية دفاع أوسع بين البلدين.


من جهته، أكد مسؤول باكستاني أنه: « تدور الاتفاقية الحالية بشكل رئيس حول دبابات الخالد، وطائرات جي إف- 17 ثندر».


وأضاف المسؤول الباكستاني أنه على الرغم من أن المعدات الحربية للمملكة يغلب عليها الطابع الغربي، فإن الصفقة تمهد الطريق إلى فتح باب تدفق المساعدات المادية إلى باكستان. وتأتي الصفقة جزءاً من العلاقات الخارجية بين البلدين، أكثر منها لسد الحاجة العسكرية للسعودية. وتستفيد باكستان أيضاً من صفقة البيع هذه لتأمين جزء من نفقاتها الداخلية، لا سيما الأمنية منها، فضلاً عن أنها تصب في تطوير المعدات الحربية صينية المنشأ، التي يتم تصديرها عبر باكستان.

Below is even more older news from 20-Jan-2006

Pakistan offered Qatar armed forces military training in Pakistan during the Qatari COAS's meeting with Defence Minister Rao Sikander Iqbal in Rawalpindi.

The news also states that the Pakistani Navy has conducted joint trainings with several countries in the last few months among which are China, USA and KSA, and has received a very positive response from several navies in Middle East, the Gulf, and South East Asia to purchase it's small locally made submarines. Probably KSA will buy Al Khalid tanks from Pakistan. The tank is currently undergoing necessary tests in the Kingdom.

باكستان تعرض على قطر دورات تدريبية عسكرية

ذكر بيان رسمي أن باكستان قدمت أمس عرضاً لإجراء دورات تدريبية للقوات المسلحة القطرية في مؤسساتها العسكرية الرائدة.وكان العرض قد قدم إلى اللواء الركن حمد بن العطية رئيس أركان القوات المسلحة القطرية خلال لقائه بوزير الدفاع الباكستاني راو اسكندر إقبال في مدينة روالبندي.

وتقدم المؤسسات العسكرية الباكستانية مثل كلية الدفاع الوطني بالإضافة إلى الجيش والأكاديمية البحرية والجوية بانتظام دورات تدريبية وتمنح تدريباً وتعليماً عسكرياً لعدد كبير من الضباط وطلاب الكليات العسكرية من الدول الإسلامية في منطقة الشرق الأوسط والخليج.

وقال البيان إن الجانبين ناقشا أيضا احتمالية عقد دورات تدريبية بحرية مشتركة مؤكداً على الحاجة إلى تقوية المستوى الحالي من التعاون بين البلدين.

يذكر أن البحرية الباكستانية التي أجرت تدريبات مشتركة مع عدد من الدول بينها الصين والولايات المتحدة والسعودية تلقت في الأشهر الأخيرة رداً »إيجابياً للغاية« من العديد من قوات البحرية في الشرق الأوسط والخليج وجنوب شرق آسيا لشراء غواصاتها الصغيرة محلية الصنع. ومن المحتمل أن تشترى السعودية دبابات الخالد من باكستان. وتخضع الدبابة حاليا لاختبارات ضرورية في المملكة.

Russia has sabot round that are reported to have 800mm penetration. Even a conservative 3BM-42M round has 650mm penetration.

Official data is 230mm/60 degree(400~420 mm vertically)

Compared to MBT-2000 used II-M(550 mm vertically)

You are reading that chart wrong, that is listed under the 3vbm17.

 

[aliaselin]

3vbm17

3vbm17 is gun

 

[ptldM3]

3vbm17 is gun

No, it's not, that's the GRAU round designation. No such gun exists for any Soviet tank, you are confused. The 3vbm17 is a very old mango round and not a gun; it has no relation to the 3bm-42m.


The round is clearly listed in the link below.

125MM APFSDS ROUNDS

[Arsalan]

Ever you met any sales man that says " Please dont buy my product, it have no chance against any other product in market?".

well i have indeed studied a polish tank expert views where he claimed that the armour of Al khalid must be comparable to t-80ud of Pakistan,which he said to be better than the t-90s in service with india.

Apart from Armour,Al khalid does has electronics,engine and firepower edge over t-90 and even arjun.infact as per him,currently Pakistan hold the best APFSDS in south asia

i don't think i have to add any thing to this.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

$4 million? Is Pakistan selling like buy two, get one free?

most probably its all bullshit

 

[Bobby]

Congratulation Pakistan

 

[graphican]

We can Sell to Saudi Arabia but No need to Sell to other country then SA as PaK Army needs these Tanks for Near Future Genocidal War with India as Prophecized by Saints of Islam......Trust Me it is very Near

We are waiting for the day - the war which will start between two Eids, and last 6 months or 6 years. There may be difference of opinion on the duration but everybody has agreement on the outcome

Keep the country strong and add strength to it - our challenge is one of the hardest one which time have seen.

Farooq Hameed said Saudi Arabia is interested in purchasing JF-17 Thunder fighter planes that Pakistan has manufactured jointly with China.

Tell me whats the troll in this. The great TT who always believe in sources are now came to believe this crap? You are genius. You trolling or me trolling?

I even know this Polish guy who written those thing, and you would be amazed how your brother molded the whole story. If I am allowed I post the link too.

So please dont try to play smart with me, because you ultimately fail. So, next time, think two time before quoting me.

Now where your Polish guy said Al-Khalid is superior to T-90? Or you want to make another cook up story?

Making long arguments, using harsh words wont help you cause one bit. You talk about facts and it amazes me for a guy who have just mentioned a POLISH poster's comments as "Have you seen any one saying don't buy my product as it is bad" what facts where you talking about? that Poland and Pakistan starts with P so they are the same? It is amazing that you claim to KNOW this polish guy still said that he is only saying this because Al-Khalid is HIS tank!!

I was JUST referencing to that mistake. If you are embarrassed or arrogant enough not to admit it better stop posting on this issue. If you find it hard to admit to your mistakes better stop making such stupid ones.
