From who? China?New engine is a US$ 70-80 million upgrade and will come as part of a more comprehensive program in the future.

My brother is also part of PCB designs in a private company in Islamabad I-9 industrial area working for HITPCB designs and boards are all done in house.
T85 is a 2nd generation tank. It lacks dedicated Commander sight and thus the hunter killer capability is absent.@Tipu7
can you point out both sites (commander and gunner) on Tank in pic? as I can see one only..
is there any tank where driver can see same display while driving?
Is tank Hull even compatible with 6TD-01?Ukrainian TD series might continue.

Any news about upgradation of T80UDs?Have not seen the upgraded tank, but engine exhaust suggests it uses the same engine as Alzarrar. Its a chinese engine and not Ukrainian as i understand.
No sources given. (Not saying numbers are false, but until sources are given they’re treated as such to any reader who actually Knows about this stuff.)
The armor numbers quoted Don’t sound true and are incomplete (range and angle in many not given.) no modern western tank has that much armor, let alone a tank as light and old as Al-Khalid.
The last picture shows GPUs and Motherboards which have nothing to do With a tank.
I’ve never Seen a LWR mounted on an AK apart from when it has VARTA on it. If it’s somewhere on it please point it out, this one I’m actually curious about because Ive literally looked for it on an AK in person and couldn’t find it.
The AK doesn’t have commanders independent thermal sight. Another drawback when compared to modern tanks.
The AKs engine is sub-par, horsepower doesn’t matter here as much as torque, and it makes very little torque for its engine size when compared to similar engines (though the mobility is fine due to its light weight, it could have been much better.)
ERA coverage on the turret on AK is very minimal apart from some very recent pictures where there’s slightly more ERA mounted on the Cage armor on the turret sides.
A lot of AKs don’t even have ERA on the hull presently, though new ones do, older ones don’t even have mounts for ERA on the hull.
The maximum penetration of any round fired from the AK (the Naiza DU) is also average at best unless there’s a better shell it fires, but I can’t find any sources to it.
The truth is there’s very little information available about the AK in the first place and a lot of it is for the original variant which when quoted makes the tank seem worst than it is. I don’t blame anyone writing an article about the AK for that, but that’s how it is.
In short; The AK may be comparable to Indian tanks, apart from their newer T90s. But it’s not a “good” tank in the world of modern tanks and that seems to be the consensus among any enthusiast/expert/professional that looks at it from an unbiased POV. Articles about it are almost considered jokes in foreign Defence forums because of their bold claims and lack of sources. I hope there’s some way to gather sources for it.

What's your source on the torque issue of the AK engine?
Front of AK Turret:Alkhalid-1
Turret:
special armour module: 670mm LOS + backpplate (100-150mm) = 770-850mm LOS
Hull:
special armour module at least 670mm LOS + frontplate (100-150mm) = 770-850mm LOS
Hull + floor armor
