@Bilal Khan (Quwa) I read your article even you didn't mention the Czech firm Skoda's Machining and Tooling @ HIT!:disagree:

I have a separate article coming for HIT infrastructure and upgrade plans, e.g. automation upgrades from 2018, etc.
 
Fire ctntrol/ gun control system, ecs, battle management, day aND night sights (excluding thermal imager) armament stabilizers are made in house. Asrf is responsible for all electronic components.

The ball thing ? looks so much like Zumr series EO payload.... is this for AK? never seen any tank equipped with it?

CARE makes autoloader.

In the Leopard 2 and Altay MBT I think they're enclosed in a square or rectangular frame/box.

But im specifically takking about Pak tanks ... the ball type systems fit for UAVs etc than tanks.

While not in Pakistan, there are IFVs out there with remote weapon stations (RWS) paired to EO/IR balls. A big advantage of having a ball is that it can rotate, giving you a wider scope for seeing and targeting without having to move the vehicle. It might sound redundant when there is a RWS that can also rotate, but keep in mind these turrets can also help terminal-guidance support for air-launched missiles and bombs. Think of an AK2 lasing targets for T129s to fire their AGMs and rockets at.

Shibli makes gun and fire control system. It is the Zumr EO Pod which will likely find its way on AK-2, though it will be a customized version.

Haven't seen one to be honest, a round/spherical pod on board the ground platforms. The spherical ones are specifically made for rotary and fixed wing, FLYING platforms since they need rotation in both axis. For ground platform, 360 degree coverage in a single axis is usually provided by a MUCH compact rectangular casing POD.

How can Shibli makes gun? Tank Gun is produced b HIT. OR do u mean GFCS?

Read the post again, it says gun and fire control system, which means the gun control system and fire control system are both made by Shibli. The gun is made by gun factory HIT.
 
Steering wheel and related components, unlike t72 and 90, both of which use tiller bars for moving left and right, the alkalid uses powered steering wheel which adds to its maneuveribility
