You're in luck! I found a picture in my files from 2006 Defence Day. That's another variant of the one i was talking about.

Thanks Bezerk but this is the W653 ARV (armoured recovery vehicle)

I had something like the Terrier or Trojan that the British army uses in mind

Ah! Yeah I wish we had something like those. But The recovery vehicles aren't too bad in their own league don't you think? lol.

Aren't you suppose to be some sort of a Tank enthusiast? Judging from your blog, I believe you wouldn't have asked that.

So you're unaware of the Ukranian variant of the Russian "T-80" which is known as "T-80UD", and you're claiming that you know "Much" about tanks?

Smoooooth.

Anyway, This is not a Pakistani tank. It's a Ukranian tank called "T-80UD". I'm sure the website that you've copied all the info from for your blog, SHOULD have an article on T-80UD as well.

As for a Pakistani tanks, you should start with MBT-2000 "Al-Khalid" and the Pakistani upgrade of the T-59 called "Al-Zarar". All the information is available on the Internet. Enjoy!

The T-80UD was purchased as a stop-gap measure (over the much more capable M-84). It has been now almost 16 years to the T-80UD with Pakistan. Unfortunately, the T-80UD has some serious problems including its unique type of oil, in-ability to accommodate any upgrades etc. Army is now more inclined towards getting HIT in motion to churn out the Al-Khalid (1&2) soon enough in order to fill up the ranks with more modern and updated tanks. Though still a little behind schedule, Army will now only prefer to induct a tank which is essentially made at HIT. They cannot afford to spend more funds on buying any tanks from the outside.
