Damn we need to build some of those
Everything on display is available for export. Given the long history of all around cooperation between China and Pakistan, there is absolutely no problem at all.

Is this GL5 Active Protection System can be Installed on Chinese Non Tank?
Maybe T-80 MBT Upgrade package from China?

The whole system is comprised of 4 detectors, 4 interceptors launchers & control terminal.

Have you guys resolved the issue?
That is why it's for export only.

CHINA UNVEILS ACTIVE PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR MAIN BATTLE TANKS
The China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO Group) has shown for the first time its new GL5 active protection system (APS) designed for main battle tanks during the show in Baotou in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Wednesday morning.
According to the NORINCO, the new GL5 APS can provide Chinese armour more reliable protection against the threat for the tanks on the battlefields, including light anti-tank weapons, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM). The system providing full 360-degree horizontally and 20-degree in vertical direction vehicle protection.
The GL5 APS uses a special radar to detect incoming warheads. Upon detection, a defensive rocket is fired that detonates near the inbound threat, destroying it before it hits the tank or vehicle.
The Norinco’s APS system consists of a multi-mission, fire-control radar that detects and tracks incoming threats and launcher for defensive rockets.
Experts said that the new GL5 active protection system will be installed on the new ZTZ-99 main battle tanks.

The Trophy, it doesn't use explosives and neutralizes the enemy warhead with little to none explosion.

This is a game changer it will allow tanks to carry lesser armour than they did reducing the weight will bring tank more manuverability and speed
Question is what PA want new tank oplot vt or Altay
I would better pick VT 4 as AL KHALID 2 and ALTAY as AL Haider tank
Oplot systems can be upgraded to our older T 80 UD

Actually, they still move along with the tanks. Just see the video documentaries in the internet. See the Western training video, Chinese training video, and even the video of Syria civil war. That's because the rule still the same. Both elements protect each others.
Yeah I have seen documentary displaying Black Sea marines maneuvers and soldiers running along with tanks, but that was 40 years a go
Two elements protected eash other, when AT guns were only AT weapon and back then recon could establish enemy AT front. Today ATGMs and RPG s are everywhere and one side can not track AT defence lines, since unlike AT gun ATGM can be placed almost everywhere being very difficult to spot. Infantry can do crap to protect tank in such scenario. Only artillery and drones along with APS efficiently protecting armour can help neutralize enemy defences
