Again post a single credible source to support your claim you produced mbt 2000 for Bangladesh or profit is shared between norinco or Bangladesh. See this video
in which your army officer was saying what is indigenous in alkhalid produced in pakistan
Never heard Al Khalid or MBT jointly marketed by China Pakistan it's not like JF-17 which develop jointly.
Bangladesh have been using MBT-2000 not Al-Khalid .
I hope you people are aware that AK-2 is coming?
Not to forget the 2009-10 Upgrade ... termed AK-I.
Again that article did not say you produced MBT 2000 for Bangladesh.
Here is report from Bangladesh news paper
http://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-191737
The government was supposed to buy seven tanks last year and seven more this year. As only a Chinese company took part in the tender, the government cancelled it, and re-invited tender in which four companies from China, Russia, Ukraine, and Pakistan participated. Chinese company Norinco was selected as the lowest bidder.
Lmao.
You are pathetically clinging to straws.
ISLAMABAD: State-run companies of
Pakistanand
China today signed a contract for manufacturing the
Al-Khalid-I tank, the latest version of the combat vehicle jointly developed by the two countries.
The Al-Khalid tank was developed in the 1990s and introduced in 2001.
The new version has improved capability and systems, an official statement said.
The contract for making the new tanks was signed by Pakistan's Heavy Industries Taxila and China's NORINCO at the Ministry of Defence Production.
The joint marketing of the Al-Khalid tank with China would open up potential markets, the statement said.

KARACHI: Pakistan is aiming to find international buyers for its prized Al-
Khalid tank, after reaching an understanding with co-producer
China to market the product together, a top military official said
on Sunday. Heavy Industries, Taxila, and Beijings Norinco signed a memorandum
of understanding to this effect on Thursday during the International
Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2012, Director General of
Defence Export Promotion Organisation Major General Tariq Khan said. We are not in the business of selling t-shirts, Khan said during the
closing ceremony of the exhibition, as newsmen pushed him to justify
claims about the event being a success. It takes months and years of
negotiations to seal the agreements. This MoU will help us a lot. We have also received orders for our unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),
commonly known as a drone, which is used for intelligence gathering
by police and military in different parts of the world, he added. The Al-Khalid tank was developed in the 1990s. It is equipped with a
125mm gun and has the capability to fire sophisticated ammunition
including missiles in both stationary and moving conditions. For years, Pakistan has been trying in vain to sell the product, while
China is also marketing a variant of Al-Khalid. Joint marketing with
China opens up potential markets that would otherwise have been
difficult for Islamabad to penetrate into, officials said. Under the deal,
profit from the sale will be mutually shared. Major General Khan said selling heavy equipment like tanks and aircraft
is not easy as political considerations need to be taken into account.
At times even if a country wants to buy something, the deal breaks
off because of some political angle. Foreign delegates who visited the exhibition will come back with
requests to test the military gear and equipment in coming months, he
said. But I can assure you there has been a lot of interest in what we
make. However, Khan said it was impossible to state in numbers the size of
deals made during the exhibition. Military officials involved in international defence trade say Pakistan is
continuously being sidelined because of its geopolitical situation. Meanwhile, Minister for Defence Production Sardar Bahadur Khan said
another jointly developed product with China, the JF-17 Thunder
fighter plane, will be marketed soon as well. (WITH ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM FARHAN ZAHEER) Published in The Express Tribune, November 12th, 2012.
