Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO), is reportedly starting to deliver new main VT4 battle tanks to Pakistan.
In mid-April 2020, at the Chinese tank factory located in Baotou, Inner Mongolia province, the ceremony of shipping the first, after the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the first batch of VT4 main battle tanks equipped with explosive reactive armor (ERA) (Option FY-IV) for a foreign customer.
Chinese media reports that Pakistan is a foreign customer for these tanks.
In 2019, the Pakistani Army Armored Corps selected the Chinese VT4 tank, produced by Norinco, to meet the requirements for the acquisition of hundreds of new main battle tanks.
A military analyst, Muzammil Hatami, announced the selection of the Norinco VT4 to increase the Pakistani armored vehicle fleet.
"VT4 has confirmed for the future Pakistan Army tank and the Alkhalid II main battle tank is under development," said Muzammil Hatami during the tenth IDEAS international defense exhibition in Karachi, Pakistan.
The VT4 is a third generation MBT that Norinco offers for export. It is an improvement over the Al-Khalid MBT (also known as MBT-2000), which is currently in service with the Pakistan Army, although it retains the 125mm primary weapon, the carousel autoloader, and the crew configuration of the oldest vehicle.
Despite the details of the tender for the future tank being kept secret, it was reported that Pakistan could obtain around 100 MBT to satisfy the deficiency of MBT production in the country.
Last week it was also reported that the Nigerian army received a shipment of military vehicles from the North China Industries Corporation (NORINCO).
According to local sources, NORINCO delivered the first of 17 military vehicles that compromised VT4 main battle tanks, SH5 105mm self-propelled howitzer with wheels and destroyed ST1 tanks.

Have no idea about the authenticity of this news.
A Chinese armor focused vlogger hinting a customer from the Mid East, and he suggests its a big order.For Nigeria not Pakistan
Iraq.... They have intention to replace all their M1A1 MBT. But these batch with this camouflage are unlikely going for middle East.A Chinese armor focused vlogger hinting a customer from the Mid East, and he suggests its a big order.
I see no different from getting Al Khalid tank if u are going for T-80U. The reason going for VT-4 is a tank that will be a leap generation ahead and bring PA into digital times for army plus with superior mobility and armour.Pakistan can also look into the Vast Ukrainian options as well. I also like the modified T80UDs(OPLOT) .
May be look into the bone yard at Kharkiv!!!
Nevertheless With the Chinese options we get soft loans,manufacturing rights and unlimited spare parts etc.
This is a high-end configuration of VT-4, so it can not be Nigeria or Pakistan.China reportedly begins delivery of modern major VT4 battle tanks to Pakistan – Defense Blog

Quwa is our own guy, They aren’t...There ain't a single defence analyst who gives some credible analysis with the exception of Quwa.
But they should atleast contact the relevant authorities fo info.Quwa is our own guy, They aren’t...
Besides, @Bilal Khan (Quwa) Is a quality poster, have good knowledge of basics and more.
The T-59s are ancient relics. There is no need for more of those tanks, but I think PA should look at the lightweight, agile tank, the VT-5 (Type 15) to replace the old tanks.Wish Pak would buy T-59s upgraded to Zarrar alongside these bad boys.
