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

[Super Falcon]

We should not go for oplot or use oplot as smaller tank unit for desert use but as a main battle heavy tank we need ALTAY main battle tank which have power of leopard tand and less maintenance of South Korean panther tank Program

 

[Fieldmarshal]

Oplot is coming in for tests along with vt4 n t90 within the next two months n in all probability end of this month.....nothing has been selected let alone finalised, all news saying otherwise is just wishful thinking.
On a side note the chances of selecting the oplot by PA r the least compared to the other tanks due to the poor record of the Ukrainians across the board....so unless they offer something very significant oplot is out.
An other western engine is the front runner for AK2

completely wrong man

The entire tank force of the army runs on Ukrainian engines (T-80UD, AK)
They've been in service for a long time now and are powerful, durable and work in tough conditions. Even Turkey is considering Ukrainian engines for its tanks.
They've been willing to sell engines to Pakistan and are now agreeing to co-production for tank engines.
The problem Ukraine has is not their tanks or technology (the Oplot-M is a very good tank), the problem is with Ukraine being able to produce them for export. They've barely been able to sell 50 to thailand.
If Pakistan does go for the Oplot-M, there better be some joint production otherwise they wont be coming.

"Kharkiv-based Malyshev plant, Ukraine, continues fulfilling a contract to supply new Oplot tanks to Thailand!" he wrote on Facebook on Sunday, May 28.

"This footage features both the plant's workshop with the next batch of Oplot tanks for the Thai army. And the one "Pakistani" Oplot that is getting ready to fight a tank battle for a new contract," he said.

As UNIAN reported, chief engineer at Kharkiv-based Malyshev Plant Oleksandr Sheiko announced on May 25 that a new batch of the Ukrainian-made Oplot main battle tanks would be supplied under a contract to Thailand the following week.

Pakistan should not buy whole tank, we should only buy parts which we can't produce on our own, like engines with complete ToT.

May be its about a need to make the deal for multiple engines sweeter by going for some tanks.

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

News article with video of the Oplot-P. Apparently the plant workers told the media that the tank is for Pakistan.

I can assure you OPLOT has most chances not only we are getting the engines from them but also we are quite satisfied with them. Yes they failed to meet orders of many countries but we are getting Tank with TOT and we plan to produce them in Pakistan.

Altay is way to heavy thus difficult to transport
