If I remember correctly when the engine was change to Ukrainian engine and tested in Pakistan after first few AK. I think initial 4 or 5 AK were built with British or German engine

Aselsan and Pakistani officials are negotiating serious level on tank upgrade solutions. Aselsan prepared a mock-up for Pakistan.

View attachment 537944

said mock-up If I am not wrong was representing the concept of a T-72 tank modernisation shown in IDEAS-2018 in Pakistan irony is Pakistan does not use T-72 tanks and upgrade package form this mock does not appear attractive.

So on the basis of this I can fairly assume whatever upgrades solutions are under negotiation does not involve anything related to this mock-up

You are right bro. It seems MSI used a wrong photo to introduce the negotiations and I jumped the event like a fish...

Pakistan these days is upgrading its Type 85 Tanks and I am pretty sure Turkey could be providing some help in that

I can understand it was not your mistake, but what I was pointing was an innocent mistake of Turkish firm which introduce this model during IDEAS-2018 with single optic sight which apparently lack night fighting capability (search light on that model is pointing towards this possibility)

nope HIT is already undertaking the project of Type-85 modernisation and we have seen photos of at least one batch handed over to PA, so we can assume current negotiation is for legacy AK and Turkey might be the second interested participant in that program as we know Ukraine is also in negotiation for tank modernisation related to AK

Oil leaks and grease marks are common for all tank crews around the world.

AK-1 with IR/ Thermal stealth coating..

is its armour good enough? are two welded plates in the turret good enough?

Nothing in type-85 UPG comes from Turkey. Its all from Pakistan, China, Ukraine, and France.
