that is really good news.PS is currently in trials as a separate contract and when the system has qualified/Technically passed all the phases, It will be installed on a large number of armoured platforms not just VT-4.
If VT4 is an off the shelf purchase, then it means AK project will continue.Great news on the VT4! Assuming the PA does get 1000+- tanks I’m assuming they will equip the 2 Armoured and 2 Mech divs?
What is the plan for the T85;T80UDs and AZs? Will they be put in reserve; scrapped or passed to the FC?
Or will they be allocated to the Infantry Divs for fire support or will the AK’s do that?
Finally, 1000 VT4s is significant. Does this mean AK2 is dead?

Short range air defense is a must for modern armored corps. Looking at what's going on in recently in ME. Drone strikes are a real concern in open ground.

AK-II will proceed at its own pace. It is a separate program, VT-4 is a seperate acquisation.If VT4 is an off the shelf purchase, then it means AK project will continue.
Realistically, we should expect a 3rd Gen MBT fleet of 520 AK, 300 VT4 and 320 T80 by 2025.
If these news of further batches of VT4 is correct, then it means that future armored fleet of Pakistan will comprise of VT4, AK & UD only (2000+ units). While AZ & T85 will move to reserves or will work alongside infantry.
@Signalian , a frontline armored fleet of VT4 & AK full fills your demand of fleet homogenization.
