SEE!!I also believe that a universal chassis for MBT, IFV and SPH would be a wise idea. Yes, such a design might be too pricey to adopt across the entirety of Pakistan's armour force, but it should be doable for the Strike Corps. They will benefit from a common logistics and maintenance channel. If the Haider is still alive, I believe it should be aimed at a universal armour platform, be it a clean-sheet system (designed in collaboration with Ukraine or China) or derived from the Oplot-M (which reportedly has IFV and SPH versions in development).
Imagine:
Custom Oplot-M with 6TD-3 (1,500 hp) diesel engine; 125 mm gun capable of ATGM and basebleed and high velocity shells; remote weapon station; Aselsan electronics; Aselsan Akkor APS with hard-kill.
Berserk IFV (link) with 6TD-3 diesel engine; 30 mm auto-cannon; 7.62 coaxial machine gun; optional 105 mm gun for tank-destroyer/flanker role.
Oplot SPH (link) with 6TD-3 diesel engine; 155 mm/52-cal gun capable of basebleed and high-velocity shells; maybe use the Denel T6-52 turret and gun system (link)
That what i am talking about
Mouth Watering, isnt it?
(BTW Sir, i never get if Bilal Quwa and sada Quwa are same ) ??
