[cloneman]

Yes,AK,MBT-2000 or VT-1A are the same thing to me.VT-1a is the latest variant of the MBT-2000 for export.

Will the PLA themselves use this tank? It says export but some of the gears inside are in chinese characters.

No, armor and main gun have been weakened for export.

 

[BordoEnes]

Without anydoubt a freaking sweet looking tank

 

[Birbal]

Nice. Looks like it has ERA bricks on the glacis and modular armor on the turret.

Gotta wonder about the Chinese mindset though. They build a high tech main battle tank and make the controls look like some cheap plastic toy.

The design seems to be tweaked modified to look alike latest european Tanks.

The design & protection is relatively a little different on physical areas than Al-Khalid/ AK 1 Tank or is it Pakistan Army has modified the Design and Protection to their needs either case this is impressive design in the tank world markets but so far the marketing does not seem good.

i think the one they're showing is a test model or other wise for their own use certainly an export model would have the instructions and labels be legible to the purchaser.

That's not correct.The world MBT trade is slowed down quickly due to no major conflicts,you will be quite lucky to get a more than 100 MBT order.Morroco already ordered 150 VT-1A and Bangladesh army ordered 44 MBT-2000/VT-1A,that's a nearlly 200 order for recent three years,Considering the current world MBT trade size,it's a big achievment.

Prolly no. IIRC China even has no any production line of MBT2000 but I could be wrong.
