MODP Year Book 2017-18

Technically Turkey, China and Ukraine can offer stuff, it depends on the Army if they're interested.
VIPER seem a practical solution based on in-house industrial capabilities which most probably will match with Pakistan's terrain and environment as well, as Pakistan is manufacturing and using M113 series from quite some time, at this stage we can assume based on official information that it was the only prototype which was shown in IDEAS-2018, so it might be still in development phase.

Ukraine might offer BMP series or some new derivative in which PA seems not interested, even it was reported that in trials for the selection of Turret for VIPER PA rejected BMP series Turret. Based on modular armour concept which VIPER IFV use it may provide better protection and maintainability as compare to BMP series, only thing in which VIPER lack behind BMP-3 is power/weight ratio otherwise comparable or excel in other parameters.

Same is the case with Turkish Tulpar IFV as it weight up to 42 tonnes powered by 850 hp engine, almost as heavy as Al-Zarar tanks of PA and does not carry anti-tank missiles, so it appears Tulpar is produced to address needs and employment concept much different than PA

CM400kg made so much sense for Pakistan. It is an excellent ACC killer and it is so light that JF17 can carry two of them... so it is a match made in heaven. Hence I always wished that Pakistan will acquire it.

This is also interesting.... Wonder which type of missile was developed.

60 CM-400 for $100 millions, how it make sense?

Look up costs of latest Amraams. It looks to be in the same price range.

60 is decent figure for southern thunder squadrons.

REK costs does not make sense.

Kuwait paid 37 mill for 750 jdam kits in dec 2016.

India paid 30 mill for 200 spice kits/bombs.
