Sir what are you trying to say ? I am confused here
Nuff said!
I think that's the answer Rafi have in mind for your question.

Eh, not really. VT-5 isn’t all that good of a tank, it’s good for high altitudes and certain terrains where there are weight constraints, otherwise PA would much rather buy more proper tanks, which they are already doing. Also PA is much further behind in IFVs and modern APCs than it is on armor, so that would be a better investment regardless. IFVs add quite a lot of offensive capability too, while also being able to transport troops, something the VT-5 cannot do.IFV falls in totally different category then a TANK. VT 5 could be great for plains in Punjab and our Para military forces
It's worth noting you can configure an IFV chassis into a light tank similar to VT5.Eh, not really.

I know the difference between an IFV and a tank. Our paramilitaries don’t need tanks, especially not on the eastern border. We don’t really have the money to throw around just to equip paramilitaries with light tanks. That’s not to say the PA isn’t interested in the VT-5 at all, it can definitely act as a force multiplier in certain regions, my point was more along the lines of priorities, APCs and IFVs should be priorities over light tanks at the moment.
Kaplan Power/weight 22.2 hp/t, good enough for plain, but not good for high altitudes and rough terrain.It's worth noting you can configure an IFV chassis into a light tank similar to VT5.

Cant we do the same with the AK chassis.It's worth noting you can configure an IFV chassis into a light tank similar to VT5.

A universal chassis? Yes please.Cant we do the same with the AK chassis.
Or a universal type chassis for all needs. Even self propelled ... if HITs arty gamble is a hit.

While ZTQ-15/VT-5 Power/weight 30.30 hp/tonne, 27.8 hp/tonne (Armor package installed)
Kaplan is 711 hp, while ZTQ-15/VT-5is 1000 hp. Those two are in two categories. Gap is huge.
Yes, that's a specific issue with the Kaplan, but as a concept, it could still work. The key is building that requirement into the design, which is why @iLION12345_1's point about a universal platform is worth noting. Granted, using a 1,000 hp engine would give Pakistan one of the most high-powered IFVs, but at the same time, it can use that IFV platform as the basis for a light tank, self-propelled howitzer, and SHORAD vehicle.A universal chassis? Yes please.
The Al-Khalid chassis? No please. It’s got a rather dated design, too big of a front lower plate and thin side armor. I know it’s really difficult and expensive to do, but They need a new design if they want to make a universal platform.
So you are an extpert?
Pak making mistake by depending on just one supplier china
No but he is new YouTuberSo you are an extpert?

First of all we don't have just one supplier. Secondly we tested other guns in fact when we started trials no Chinese gun was there in the trials. If others didn't passed trials not our problem. Even this one had some issues, good thing is we told China about them. They removed the issues then we tested them again and then they fully passed the tests.
