What's new

Pakistan Army has 570 VT 4 on order and with TOT

In video its clearly seen that the tank had to eventually rotate to evade quickly so exposing the back
Showing your back to the enemy is a death sentence anyways. So yeah. It’s either toy retreat slowly or turn around, neither are good options, which is why we’ve seen Russian crews in Ukraine simply ditch their tanks instead.

So what will difference in case for local VT4 and MK2
AK2 is not happening for now. They will simply try to increase parts commonality between AK and VT.
 
. . . . .
That means T 80 UD will be replaced with additional tanks orders due to lack of supply chain of spares from Ukraine for T 80s parts
 
.
After seeing what happened to the Russian design tanks in Ukraine, syria, armenia, etc, our military leaders should seriously think about changing the design influence from russian to western. Crew safety and especially the placement of ammo resulting in cook off / devastating explosion of tank hit with anti tank weapons is very serious issue.

In short notice basis, steps to ensure tanks r properly protected and ammo storage to be properly covered incase of a breach are needed so that they do not detonate.

Long term, change design to western practice.
Pakistan needs to work Turkey and China to bring Trophy like system and yes some changes in Tank design also required
 
.
Ukraine has TB2's but since the war started there have only been 4 visually confirmed cases where a TB2 destroyed a tank.
And, Russia asked for a mobilization after losing 30K troops and numerous gadgets; not to mention losing major conventional advantages!!! And, the Ukrainian are composing songs on Bayraktar and naming their babies as Bayraktars!!! And, the Ukranians are awarding their highest awards on the Bayraktar CEO!!!! And, all these for only 4 kills....

You also need a doctrinal change where machine functions in automated modes. A fine synergy between manned and unmanned defense equipment in the land, air and sea is the call of the day...

T 80 UD are not getting replaced. They are working fine and upgraded recently
if they have same reverse speed like t90 of Russia or same loader issue then its better to retire them. Sometimes hard decisions are the best. If you are to ans to Pakistan defense knows better then me than remember that Russians thought there weapons are great until Ukraine war came.

May be we replace these engines with VT 4 If possible
If possible is the biggest question. HIT is trying that with AK at the moment. Remains to be seen if they’re successful, it’s a very very difficult task.

T80s have a 10Km/h reverse speed (the Russian ones). I’m not sure if the Ukrainian ones have the same speed or higher due to a different transmission (they could have one similar to the AK). Either way, they have a better reverse speed than the T90S 4 km/h. Not sure what you mean by loader issue.

Yes but something has to be done as we operate big number of 380 T 80UD as Ukraine can't supply engines and upgrades we can't just throw them out of service they are as good as VT 4 Infact better than Al Khalid tanks
