Are we getting Centauro B1 from Italy?

If we look at the technology demonstration of Pakistani defense companies in IDEAS, Pakistan could already make a tank destroyer much more modern than the Centauro system. Even if there is an urgent need for supply, many sub-systems are available. If you ask me, every system that Pakistan will take is must only for the purpose of technology transfer, after this stage.

My brother, the common problem of our regions is the asymmetric threats. Terrorists now have very advanced ATGM systems. The systems you are talking about need a serious modernization in order to provide an effective service in the Pakistani army. The soldier's life is precious. Experienced personnel are raised with great sacrifices of the country. Of course, I cannot speak here on behalf of the Pakistani army, but as far as I can see, the US's regional policies will become increasingly dishonorable.

Pakistani TD's are ATGM carriers, not main gun (smooth bore or rifled).

Turkish Forces are facing ATGM problem countering insurgents,not Pakistan.
