Light weight tanks for Pakistan Army

[Sayfullah]

Ma'az

Does HIT still produce Maaz, Talha and Saad apcs?
Also what happened to HIT’s Viper IFV? Is army buying it?

Indians have already lost many tanks along the LOC, not a favorable terrain for tanks anyway since tanks cannot make good use of their long ranges guns, along with elevation and depression problems.

What do you mean by lost many tanks on the LOC? How?

Over a period, little more than couple of years, through our ATGM fire.

Soldier among three martyred by unprovoked Indian firing along LoC: ISPR

Dear, all i can say is that not everything is reported, whatever is being inflicted. In my opinion, compared to 90s, we have raised the level as far as types of weapons, type of engagements and number of engagements are concerned. Approx figures till April 2019 (only 4 months), were almost...

Wow alhamdulillah I never thought they would be that dumb to deploy armour along the loc.

You mentioned that there is a video of it in that post. Do you have it or know where I can find it?

World coming back to light tanks after ignoring them for 3 to 4 decades

We could develop a new tracked IFV similar to the Polish Anders, e.g.

View attachment 751735

...and then develop a light tank using the IFV as the chassis, e.g.,

View attachment 751736

I just thought I throw this out there before we lose all hope and nihilistically expect the PA to buy VT5 from China, or mothballed T-59s from Cambodia.

or do what we do best and rename the m113.

A Pakistani version based on vt5 to replace az could be an option

We will not be replacing AZs anytime soon. Also why replace an MBT with a light tanks? Another thing is that AZs of 6th armd div are being replaced by VT4s....

If we are replacing al zarrar then another MBT would be considered. Not a light tank.


Also t72b3 2016 replacement for AZ?

 

[Raja Porus]

Also t72b3 2016 replacement for AZ

We are already buying VT4 to replace AZs. Also Why should we procure another new system especially the one which has reached the limit of its life and can't be upgraded further. Even the Russians are hesitant to upgrade their already existing t72s because the costs would be too high while it will become outdated at the same time especially when seen according to the European theatre.
