Al-Khalid tank (Type 90-IIM / MBT-2000) Information Pool

[Gryphon]

Will those 5 regiments become part of some new IABGs elsewhere or be part of a new mech division as stated by you for Pano aqil side.

Mech Div HQ = Indp Armd Bde + Indp Armd Bde + Indp Mech Bde
These bdes will be raised by shifting existing armoured regiments + new AK-1 armoured regiments.

An IABG was recently converted to IMBG by moving one of the armoured regiments, and assigned a HAT bn as replacement.

Why addition considering we have many older T series tanks to replace too?

Army is increasing number of AC regiments & Al-Zarrar program has resumed, no Type 59/69's are being replaced.

Ok last time I checked a brochure it did not listed 203mm it was a one pager with all products plus in ideas 2018 video where all products were displayed and explained the rep only went from 155mm to 25 ponder and Did not mention 203 at all

Paa has 60 or so 203 mm m-110 of course the m-109 inventory is now doubled or tripled

Expected, been saying that - no conversion to heavy APC or anything.

Al-Zarrar program has resumed

How much more Al-Zarrar tanks we are going to produce?

Expected, been saying that - no conversion to heavy APC or anything.

Any contenders for replacement?

Will HIT convert all remaining T59/69s (those that have not been given to FC) to AZs.

How many AZs do you think we would have in future (incl existing ones)?

MoDP Yearbook 2017-18 indicated 79 Type 59/69's are being upgraded to AZ, that would make it 504 + 79 = 583 in total.

Can't say if more will be upgraded.

VT-4 was trialed.

IMO, best option for replacement are AK-series (I and then II) or more T-80 if replacements are required quickly, no other MBT.

First T-59 to be converted to AZ, then maybe after 1-2 decades T-85 II will start retiring.

Right. MODP 2017-18 indicates PA also going to upgrade T-85 II tanks as well.

JV with Turkey on Altay Tanks might be a good step.

I think Ukrainian armor and enginery with Turkish sensors and weapons is the way to run. Give the dudes at HIT something to do.

Signalian, how about going for refurbished t90s from Russia?
