Not for Pakistan.

But they should atleast contact the relevant authorities fo info.

They want to sell their shit, while clean people like Quwa do it solely out of their love for writing defense...

Not for Pakistan.

Is that tunisia?

The T-59s are ancient relics. There is no need for more of those tanks, but I think PA should look at the lightweight, agile tank, the VT-5 (Type 15) to replace the old tanks.

The soldiers are perhaps from Nigeria as Chinese members have already pointed out some sales to Nigeria.

This is a high-end configuration of VT-4, so it can not be Nigeria or Pakistan.
Possilbe options include:
Malyasia, Brunei (from camouflage)
Iraq, Oman, UAE, Kwuait, Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Algeria(from 707's words)
I personally think it is UAE as VN-50 is designed at their request, so they may use these two to form heavy armored bridage

Sir considering emerging challenges PA shall go for high end MBT purchase not the downgraded one.

The paint scheme is not same as in Pakistan Army. We use either green with yellow patches no red ever seen in PA. But over all i believe this is probably the best option. VT 4 is based on MTB 2000 Which is AK. we could update our AKs and even T 85 on similar standards. Further it could also serve as base for AK II.

If Type-99a reaches 100 points, VT-4 is about 90-95 points. VT-4 is not as strong as Type-99, but it is not inferior too far, anyway VT-4 is a tank born later, it inherits many advantages of type-99a. The biggest difference between the two tanks is the Type-99's armor is thicker and stronger thanks to the special alloy. The advantage of VT-4 over Type-99 is in electronics and active protection system.

Updated AKs

Updated 85s

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

India does not yet own the latest version of the T-90.

One-on-one matches are unlikely. The biggest possibility if available is ATGM HJ-12 vs T90

Don't wanna be rude but these updated 85's has the worst Camo a tank could have

Just keep it simple

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.

abram is very heavy and has very thick frontal armor. VT-4 is more compact.

I don't think Abram frontal armour is as thick or thicker than VT-4. As I mention, the extra weight is to handle extra space for additional 4th manned crew.

Not sure but let’s see will believe it when actually reported by Janes or paa not sure why would paa buy when it has local made almost similar with 3g electronics the only difference is era plus composite armor And active protection


lastly why would paa introduce a new tank in very low quantity
Just 100

time will tell
