has

a production rate of 70 to 80 is excellent. I guess we must shift repair and maintenance work to others sites. further now we should have sufficient infrastructure to shift upgrade to existing tanks and APC to other sites as well.

Published numbers of AKs are wrong, either on purpose i suppose.

Have seen many AKs at two different locations. No way they have less than 450, add 60 plus AK-1s and the number goes well above 500.

The front man is from the protection unit, the turret guy is from the testing armor uni .

Moreover, since they are in the field, that's why no unit insignia.

It's from the 2nd trial. First trial took place in 2015and the tank lacked muzzle sensor, rws, improved main gun, IFF sensor among other enhancements.

China has reportedly started delivering VT4 Main Battle Tanks (MBT) to Pakistan.

In 2019, the Pakistan Army Armoured Corps selected the Chinese VT4 tank also known as MBT-3000 to strengthen its armoured divisions.

In 10th International IDEAS defense exhibition in Karachi, Pakistan, a military analyst, Muzammil Hatami announced the selection of the Norinco VT4 to increase the Pakistani armoured vehicle fleet.

Muzammil Hatami said, “VT4 has confirmed for future Pakistan army tank and Alkhalid II main battle tank is in developing phase.”
A Chinese company called Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group has already started to deliver new VT4 main battle tanks to Pakistan which should receive at least 100 units.

On April 4, Global Times reported that China was delivering customized VT4 main battle tanks to an undisclosed foreign buyer.

While citing video released by NORINCO, China Central Television reported VT4 tanks were being transported by trucks.

In mid-April 2020, at the Chinese tank factory located in Baotou, Inner Mongolia province, the ceremony of shipping the first batch of VT4 main battle tanks fitted with explosive reactive armour (ERA) to ‘a foreign customer’ obviously believed to be Pakistan.

The tanks are not the standard VT4 version and instead are equipped with a different turret boost design. The front design features a new explosive reactive armor.
