So what, does an ARV carries it in China? The only time an ARV is used when the tank becomes immobile.

Turret swung backwards, the engine bay opened. See the deck.

it maybe just a test of ARV rescueing tanks in battle field.

a test of replacing VT4 integral power package at battle field.

A pakistani member told me VT 4 had cleared alll the trials set by PA in Pakistan. it means everything.

Yeah right, they are testing a 20 year old ARV with the engine deck of the tank opened.

is ukrainian UTD an option?

For VT-4? Unlikely, as China offered it solely with indigenous engine this time.

So in that case, a pakistani member became an authentic source? Convenient.
