[Dr Shaheryar]

Nobody can give exact info. What's reliable for you.

Indians and their desperation is amusing. Now on topic well Pakistan will slowly increase the production rate of AL KHALID 1 and AL KHALID II will come fast as what I am hearing is Turkey is now full involved in the project and I am also hearing few things about Altay but I am doubtful on that although the person who told this in really high position but still I am doubtful. As for now let's see what results come from tests of VT 4 and OPLOT M both will return for tests if they are not already here which I think they are.

[khanmubashir]

Is this why your T90s broke down in the Russian Tank competition because they were hit by Nag?

 

[Gryphon]

More than 1150 Type 59 Tanks available. 450+ converted to Al-Zarar standard. Rest undergoing conversions.

Around 700 (I have updated the number on Wikipedia).

4 AK-1 X A Squadron Troop + 2 AK-1 X A Squadron HQ
4 AK-1 X B Squadron Troop + 2 AK-1 X B Squadron HQ
4 AK-1 X C Squadron Troop + 2 AK-1 X C Squadron HQ
3 AK-1 X Regimental HQ

The unit is currently with 21 AK-1. Will receive more to have a total of 40-50 tanks.

Interestingly, AK series MBT are capable of firing ATGM at a range longer than Nag ATGM. Also AK-1 has a protection jammer system against ATGM's. Its Namica which needs to worry about its survival against AK on battle field having lesser range ATGM and no protection systems.

Soft kill protection system is common, nothing to brag about

DSEI 2017: Pakistan Army may receive up to 30 Al Khalid-I MBTs by end of 2017

Oscar Widlund - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
13 September 2017

Pakistan-based Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) may hand over the first batch of up to 30 Al-Khalid-I (Improved) main battle tanks (MBTs) to the Pakistan Army (PA) by the end of this year, a company spokesperson told Jane’s at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2017 exhibition in London.

The MBT, which is an enhanced variant of the Al-Khalid MBT operated by the PA, entered series production in 2014-15 and is intended to gradually replace the service’s estimated 340 Al-Zarrar tanks, the spokesperson added.

According to HIT, the Al-Khalid-I features several improvements over the original tank. These include an improved muzzle reference system, an improved head mirror stabilised gunner’s sight and an improved commander’s sight that has a magnification of ×6 to ×10 and a field of view between 6° and 10° as opposed to that on the Al-Khalid, which has a magnification of ×6 and a 10° field of view.

Versatile vehicles from Pakistan [DSEI17D2]

CHRISTOPHER F FOSS
13 September 2017

Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) (Stand N9-458) is the main centre of excellence for the design, development and production of tracked and wheeled armoured fighting vehicles (AFV) in Pakistan and is now offering these for the export market.

Its latest product is the Al-Khalid main battle tank (MBT), which has a crew of three. It is armed with a stabilised 125mm smoothbore gun fed by an automatic loader that first loads the 125mm projectile and then the charge system.

The gun is coupled to a computerised fire control system (FCS), with the latest version having a hunter/ killer capability in which the target is first detected by the commander and, if hostile, is then handed over to the gunner, who carries out the engagement.

HIT has upgraded large numbers of Chinese-developed Type 59 MBTs to the latest Al-Zarrar standard, which includes replacement of the original 100mm gun by a 125mm smoothbore gun, coupled to new computerised FCS, plus additional armour protection and mobility enhancements.

HIT also overhauls and upgrades the still widely deployed M113 armoured personnel carrier (APC) and variants. Further development of the M113 has resulted in the HIT Saad, which has a modified rear troop compartment with firing ports to allow the dismounts to fire their weapons from within the vehicle. HIT has also started production of the Dragoon (4x4) APC, which can be fitted with a variety of weapons to meet users’ operational requirements.

At the lower end of the scale, the Pakistani company has moved into the internal security (IS) vehicle market, and has developed and placed in production the Protector IS vehicle with B6 level ballistic protection and the Mohafiz IS vehicle with B6/B7 level ballistic protection.
