PAKISTAN MAY NEGOTIATE WITH UKRAINE FOR 100 OPLOT-M MAIN BATTLE TANKS

[BetterPakistan]

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

T-85lllP and Type 69ll?

Engine commonality with the al-Khalid and the possibility of re-manufacturing the Army's T-80UDs into Oplots might also be reasons for interest.

I dun see why would they buy them anyways, they have al khalid 2 and it contains most advance technologies. Why to waste money on relativly expensive platform when you even promised semi automated secondry weapon in al khalid 3

Not Al Khalid 3 but Al Khalid 2. Secondly PA wants to support Al Khalid series with one more powerful tank series which was named as Al Haider. Oplot-M was tested for Al Haider but the tests failed due to engine failure for which Ukraine assured to resolve the issues.

Thirdly, Oplot-M is not expensive than Al Khalid may be equal or cheaper because Al Khalid 2 is expected to cost at least $5 million/unit and Oplot-M cost was less than $5 million.

OPLOT M and T-90MS were supposed to come for tests have they come ????

Hazrat why would we go for T90 when Oplot fits the bill perfectly?

Pakistan's ambassador Atar Abbas said that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan may purchase 100 ukrainian "Oplot" tanks.

"Today experts are holding testing and evaluation, there is an agreement on the purchase of the Ukrainian battle tank"Oplot". And in case of its signing Pakistan will purchase them at Kharkov plant more than a hundred units of this technique," - said ambassador.

According to him, the defense sector was one of the main areas of cooperation between Pakistan and Ukraine.
"This concerned procurement of heavy equipment and its maintenance in particular" the ambassador said.

According to him, mutual visits of the defense ministers of Pakistan and Ukraine were held recently.

"A few months ago an agreement was signed on the joint production of engines for the Al-Khalid tanks and military helicopters, all production will be carried out on Pakistani territory," he stressed.

I am very happy to see the realization , Army knows the threat and that is "Indian Army's huge Armour Advantage". f this news it true , It also make all the sense.
Hopefully all the problems with OP-84 are resolved , Engine was not that big problem as we are using Ukrainian made Engines in T-80 and AK.
A perfect Brother in Arm for Ak , Both tanks (AK-2 and OP-84) are 50T+ weight category , And as I said PA need 1500+ of this category , It make sense ,its Better to have 2 Great Tanks instead of One .
And One main reason for OP-84 is similarities with T-80UD , PA will not have much problem for maintenance and training. And this move will allow us to upgrade T-80s to OP-84 stander and increase there life and usability.
And If things work well We might see 55T+ Tank in near future. But first we need 50T+ so we can counter Indian Army and put our old Tanks(which are not upgraded) In storages .
I bleed Green , All the best PA.

OPLOT had failed field trials in Pakistan. The engine was unable to withstand the desert heat in Saleh Put Ranges near Sukker. The same had happened many years ago during the selection process of T-80UD as well as the engine had cracked under intense heat. I would take this news with a pinch of salt

Issues are solved , local engine manufacturing and improvements

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?

From the recent IDEAS exhibition it was learnt that PA is in talks with Ukraine for upgrading its T-80UD tanks bringing them upto OPLOT level. So OPLOT induction in PA was supposed to happen. Now what is not confirm is whether the 100 tanks mentioned here are upgraded T-80UDs to OPLOT or new builds.
