Sri Lanka may purchase more Pakistani conventional arms & ammunition

Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya, Commander of the Sri Lanka Army, now in Pakistan visited the Pakistan Ordnance Factory complex in Rawalpindi, industrial town of Wah Cantonment with 14 big factories, which produce requirements of land forces. It is the largest defence industrial complex under the Ministry of Defence in Pakistan that produces a wide range of conventional arms and ammunition.

With the amalgam of sophisticated technologies, Pakistan Ordnance Factory has ventured into the field of exports on regular basis and has established its reputation for internationally recognized products of quality, reliability and competitive prices.

Impressed with production processes of modern military hardware in a couple of those factories, the Commander made inquiries into their production techniques and effective use in the warfare during his stay there.

The Commander’s tour to the Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) next with a separate visit to the Taxila Museum, including several archaeological sites in the surrounding areas, provided him a rare occasion to gather knowledge on modern technological innovations and techniques.

The HIT, which consists of six major production units, has Pakistan’s dedicated engineers and highly skilled persons, together with a 30 percent of uniformed personnel. It rebuilds and modernizes Tanks and ARVs, tracked vehicles, machine systems, gun barrels and provides engineering support and quality assurance.

APC looks like the Mohafiz APC, usually employed for policing. Survived a suicide blast last week so we know it works.
Tank looks like an Al-Zarrar, though not sure.

Currently 120+ T-55 tanks in service with Sri Lanka Army and expected to be replaced soon.

Soviet Union made T-55 too old…..

Let's hope Pakistan made Tank gets the Sri Lanka Tank deal

Instead giving the Pakistan Police and Paramilitary force with these expensive vans that doesn't benefit Pakistan industries nor give proper protection to personels:

We should look seriously towards these APCs for GoP persons too:

Unless I'm mistaken I believe that the Type 59 modifications 'Al-Zarrar' can be applied to the T-54/55s too ! Plus there are some really nice T-54/55 modernization programs in the world already going on; so are you guys looking to replace them with a newer tank or a modernization program could also be on the cards ?

Sri Lanka should procure Al Khalid tanks and Talha APCs.
