isn't this risky sine the plant has been running really slow. example of this being Thailand canceling the t80-ud and going to china and pakistan only producing 3 ak tanks last year (i think it was last)
i thought the new procurement policy would mean vendors would have to implement a tot to a certain degree.
 
Pakistan and Ukraine should consider joint development and tanks.

Hopefully they can help us out with the production of the engines.

Pakistan's low-production rate had more to do with budgetary issues in Pakistan than with Ukraine.
