Pakistan Army's VT-4 Main Battle Tank | Updates & Discussions

[HRK]

Any idea how much one costs?

$ 5-6 million, If I am not wrong even the Oplot-P which was tested in Pakistan was also somewhere around 5.5 million ....

VT4 for $5.8, Oplot P for $5.4

We produce AK-1 for $3.6 million a piece as per the former chairman of TMF. AK-1's export price may vary somewhere between 5.8 - 6 million.

Why Pakistan doesn't care about the Type-15, it is a great tank, compact, flexible, maneuverable and powerful, powerful firepower with the latest armor-piercing ammunition capable of tearing most the main tanks today

I think the Type-15 is cheaper than VT4, Oplot, AK because it is a light tank. This is another advantage of the Type-15

The role of the current tank is heavily focused on maneuverability, compactness, flexibility, playing the role of a guard, clearing the battlefield and slaughtering enemy infantry. We do not throw hundreds and thousands of tanks into a battle like the ww2 era. The 1-1 match is also very rare.
The main threat to modern tanks is homemade explosive devices and ATGM. Thicker armor could not save Abram tank in the Middle East.

The task of dealing with enemy tanks is assigned to UAVs, helicopters ....

It was meant for hilly terrain, not suitable for our needs.

The thick armour could save u from some situation. VT-4 is a good choice but PA lack money now.

Abram is a 4person manned MBT. Despite weighting heavy doesn't mean it has thicker armour than VT-4. Most weight is to make space for extra man needed.

What is the price of the Turkish Altay tank? Pakistan should be prepared to deal with tanks like the T-14 Armata; India is on a shopping spree and we need to plan accordingly.

Any indication how the VT-4 stacks up against the Latest T-90 variant?

Actually Pakistan buys Tanks , Helicopters e.t.c over the order of several years , we may be talking about 5-7 years , so few million dollars a year is not a big issue but if we Prioritize it . We may have other Pressing military needs for now instead of a tank from China .

You shall have keep track of Royal Thai Army MBT tender 2 years ago.

Russia will not agitate India as they have a fatter paycheck. Turkish atlay tank need to solve domestic engine problem first which will take some years to tackle.

That left VT-4 as the most possible option. VT-4 is not a cheap tank. Price per piece is higher than T-90. Another reason that keeps delay it's induction for PA.

What about our northern side?

When will Pakistan start producing AK-2s? Have the specs/designed been finalized yet? Indians have fielded their Arjunk 2's.....what is Pakistan waiting for?

Why is AK-1's export price so expensive, by comparing with VT-4 and Oplot P?

You didn't know recently a batch of VT-4 has shipped to Nigeria? Nigeria is confirmed the second customer to buy VT-4. This maybe the second batch shipped to them.

Middle East or Pakistan will most likely uses desert sand camouflage.

Nigeria just buys the low-cost version.
