the newly revealed Ukranian KMBD 1,500 hp 6TD-3 would be a natural option for the al-Khalid 2.

ESM500 – High-end transmission for 50+ tons class vehicles

The automatic gearbox ESM500, installed in the French main battle tank Leclerc can be coupled to a maximum 1600hp engine. A complete powerpack can also be proposed for other applications like Al-Khalid or other ‘above 50 tons class’ vehicles.

• Powerpack design
• Manual and fully automatic power-shifting
• 5 speed forward – 2 speed reverse
• Infinitely variable hydrostatic steering system actuated by a steering wheel, including pivot on the spot feature
• Mechanical emergency gear shift system
• Torque converter with automatic lock-up clutch
• Secondary side heavy duty retarder
• High performance mechanical carbon-carbon service/parking brake separately mounted
• Power take-off for fan drive with full digital speed control

What are ALVB ?

What are ALVB ?

Armoured Vehicle Launch Bridge. I think they're using AK's chassis for AVLB. We used Chinese and American AVLBs in the past. Using AKs for the purpose would save maintenance costs.

That sounds good. We are going in the right direction!

AK has all this tech.

The main offer is for imagery sights, currently Pak buys Thales/Sagem etc for AK. Which are expensive, while Turkey is offering similiar sights at lower prices.
