DS: First contracts in military-technical cooperation between Pakistan and Ukraine were signed in 1996, in particular the tank contract. Do continue cooperation with Ukraine now?

It concerned the procurement of heavy equipment and its maintenance (particularly tanks "Al-Khalid"). Recently held mutual visits of Defense Ministers of Pakistan and Ukraine. A few months ago, signed an agreement on joint production of engines for tanks "Al-Khalid" and military helicopters. All production will be carried out on Pakistani soil. Today, in the final testing and evaluation phase is an agreement on the purchase of Ukrainian battle tanks "Hold". And if it is signed by Pakistan will buy the Kharkov enterprise "Zavod im. V. A.

Collaborating on the Motor Sich MS-500V could be interesting. I'm not sure if Pakistan has any 3.5 to 6-ton helicopters in need of new engines right now. However, if Motor Sich can develop a 1,000+ kW version (they're at 800+ kW right now), then we'd have an alternative for the T-129...

Oplot had engine problems during tests. Let's see if they've since been fixed up.

Oplot-M as al haider?

Al Khalid 2 is expected to weigh more than 52 tonnes and Oplot-M weighs 51 tonnes?? What is this? First we are going for 200 heavy weight tanks and after that again returning to lighter weight..

Oplot- M is cheaper, is this the reason for purchasing it?

Pakistan is using Ukranian Engines in AlKhalid.. There is no reason why another Engine from Ukaraine would not meet Pakistan's requirements. Hoping for the best.

but that also means - Pakistan is feeling it will undergo a war with India in the near future.

AL HAIDER and AL KHALID will be two different projects and AL HAIDER will be mainly to replace all our old Tanks

If Al-Haider is to replace "all old tanks" than 100 units is nothing. Is it the other way around that Al-Khalid will replace old tanks instead?

It can use Al-Khalid's 6TD-2 as well as the 1500 hp 6TD-3.

OPlot M comparatively better than Alkhalid OR Nor?
