keep modifying Al khalid, also start work on new platform as well.

Here are my two cents on this.Honest question.
Is the gap between the Oplot-M or MBT-3000 and - let's say - a heavily upgraded al-Khalid with a redesigned turret, next-gen composite armour tech, 1,500 hp diesel engine, new transmission, and updated electronics significant? In fact, the Oplot and MBT-3000 are late model developments of the T-84 and MBT-2000, respectively (but with the above changes in engine, etc).
We literally own the MBT-2000 platform, so why couldn't we just make al-Khalid II into an Oplot-M/MBT-3000 competitor? Cost can't be a real reason if someone is floating the idea of buying another tank model that isn't that much of a developmental leap from the al-Khalid. With the right subsystems - and a re-designed turret and next-gen armour tech - we could make an equivalent.
If we want another tank model, then we should be aiming for an entirely distinct category, e.g. very heavy (Altay) or very light (or I daresay unmanned). Not sure why another 45-55-ton tank design was even being considered, except perhaps to confirm design aspirations for a future al-Khalid...

Guys I am hearing is AK 2 has been completed and Pakistan is pretty much ready to reveal it. Now if isn't reveal at this IDEAS the pictures may come out soon so members who have good contacts with HIT should try to get the pictures and also details of AL KHALID II. Also I think we should re name AL KHALID II. My suggestions are either Bilal after Hazrat Bilal Habshi RA or Zubair after Hazrat Zubair RA.

No this friends have visited HIT and seen it. It was first time HIT guys allowed people to see but no photos were allowed. The question is will it be shown at IDEAS or not because it's ready but when we want to bring it forward depends on HIT and Army. I am really hoping they come with it at this IDEAS but HIT has a great past of disappointing us at IDEAS.Been hearing @Zarvan say this the day I joined the forum .
Dear colleagues.
Artillery systems for the production of Al-Khalid tanks Mk.1 Pakistan produces itself or buys in China?
