600 million for upgrades !! If I remember correctly when Pakistan bought these in 1994 they paid 620 million for all 320 Tanks??
You do realize that was good 20 years ago. Things have changed since then. Upgrades include uprated engine+transmission for AK-1, and TI sights, armour, fire control for uds. Interestingly, the contract for upgrading UDs will only move ahead IF the first five upgraded MBTs perform satisfactorily.
This is due to the fact that HIT will be busy making AK-1s and apcs in coming years.
