It is early for them to cry but relations between Pakistan and Russia are improving drasticaly. We heard a lot about intentions soo lets wait and see more real steps. Nowadays words of politicians are nothing but real dids are all.
Not T-84 but simply Oplot-M. I think info about 4 tanks on trials are false, only 2. No one can name us a full list, but we already have photoes of MBT3000 and ukrainian tank.
I think nowadays all intel agencies must have special IT devisions with spesific tasks. Sure ISI has somesting like this and they are also developing their own unique products.
Interesting news. And does anyone know something about visit of Pakistan delegation to
The Meeting of heads of special services, security agencies and law enforcement agencies of foreign countries, in city Yaroslavl, Russia. It is very big event and nowadays it demonstrate real level of...
Do not think that many US or EU companies will risk to participate in that expo. There definitely could be same official or unofficial bans from EU and US goverments. Let us wait and see.
If it is true that means that Ukraine still has a really good experience in tank and engine building and Oplot-M can be a very good choice for Pakistan.
Russia is not the best tank manufacturer and Su-35 is a bit raw yet, however their S-400 is a real masterpiece. As far as the news says S-400 are only in Russia and now in Algeria. China and India also wants to buy it, soo chances to see that things in Pakistan are very small.
I heard about AK project earlier I tnink it is true, russian new AKs are really good and quite cheap - good deal for Pakistan. About S-400, S-35 unreal for Pakistan (because of India) and S 300 is not the best option for Pakistan now because it is already out of date.
After reading this article you can start thinking that Russia is the best country in the universe and they do not care about western sanctions. But I have too many friends and relatives there not to believe it. It is the best country if you are on a govermental top position, for ordinary people...
I think this article misses two very important points: China can offer its customers soft loans (very important for countries that need weapons but do not have enought money) and Russia, at least for the time being can not. Futher more if the West do not lift sanctions soon it definetly will...
There are lots of ideas why ukrainians do not use T-84 in big numbers during their current conflict. The answer is simple it is quite expensive tank for Ukrainian army and for their missions it is much better to upgrade 3-4 T-64 to the level of "Bulat" then produce and buy 1 Oplot.
If...
As far as I know T-80 cannot be upgraded to T-84 Oplot because the last one uses about 60% of new details and ideas, its quite new model (if we can believe to ukrainian sources). Still wait to hear about 2 another candidates and are they real? In B....pur there are only 2 tanks right now.
I heard that Oplot M is quite a nice tank (characteristics vs price) and if you said that the other candidates are much better then I would wait to hear from you more details. Hope this test will be finished soon and more details will be available (not to spoil the fun).
Possible rivals must be...
As far as I know that pictures are fresh and made in Pakistan, south. But maybe you have pictures of another team? Sure it must be some kind of competition (at least 2 candidates). In the picture it is ukrainian T-84 Oplot M (99%).
Very interesting to know what tank is the best for using in such...
