which mean till end of 2017 we had 324+30=350+ AK and AK-I and as per one report HIT was targeting production of 25 tanks per year onward so +400 is possible till end of 2019

Well, you are correct that AK1 production is in full swing.

Below are hulls of fresh AK1

A freshly produced AK1. (ERA is yet to install)

And 6TD-02 1200 HP diesel engine.

Many thanks for this. Any chance of getting a 1500 hp engine from ukraine. There has been alot of talk around this and of i am not mistaken then a few MOUs were signed as well... Any concrete steps around getting a higher / better engine?

What does it take to increase the parallel production capabilities? I am sorry if this has been discussed before. Please point me in the right direction if that being the case.

Specially downloaded it for sake of taking snapshots.
It seems Pakistan has rebuilt initial batch of 5 UDs only, as a test case.

True, 5 UDs are locally upgraded with Ukrainian assistance for now. All 320 will undergo the upgrades.

Ak-1 and AVLB on the same chassis.. Production continues since 2015...

one word: FINANCE

we already have capacity to manufacture 50 tanks but we hardly utilised even the half of it since many years .....

I thought it is just a rebuild and overhauling programm, what do the upgrades include?
