KIEV, February 18 (RIA Novosti) - Ukraine will deliver 110 tank power plants – engines and related parts – to Pakistan under a $50 million contract, state-run arms exporter Ukrspetsstroi said on Monday.
The power plants will be manufactured at the Kharkov-based Malyshev Plant, a state-run enterprise specializing in armored vehicles and their components, under a four-year contract that was signed “several days ago,” Ukrspetsstroi said in a statement on its website.
It did not provide any technical specifications.
Ukraine previously delivered more than 300 power plants to Pakistan for its al-Khalid main battle tank, Ukrspetsstroi's acting deputy general director Vadim Kozhevnikov said, adding that Ukraine also supplies tank engines to China.
The statement cited Kozhevnikov as saying he believed Ukraine is in a good position to compete with the world’s leading tank power plant manufacturers, in particular Germany.
“We are direct competitors of German engine manufacturers. Our models are every bit as good as theirs in terms of technical characteristics but are significantly cheaper,” Kozhevnikov said.

But Pakistan seems to be using tank made by China...I may be wrong..then why do you need it from Ukraine?
 
why do india import radars for russian awacs from israel?

My impression is that India does not have any close friend in like Pakistan has like China...So India want to keep a balance by maintaining close defence relation with multiple vendor....I may be wrong in my assessment too...
 
Yes , when we have imported almost 500 engines till now for the AK's !

Are these for AKII's ?

But Pakistan seems to be using tank made by China...I may be wrong..then why do you need it from Ukraine?

Pakistan is using home made tanks alone with chinees and Ukrines tanks...
